He felt a little bad with how red Zoremet was turning and the amount of flailing he was doing but Zelana didn't relent and Zoremet even gave it back--or more like just gave into it. The touch of guilt didn't last long as he watched his Zs interact again. Lazerat was once again leaning into being happy that his sister had carved out a new life and had people she could actually rely on and be comfortable around. He still didn't like the way she ended up in a Weyr but it was a much better place for her than a Hold. She'd likely be married off by now and miserable with a kid and a husband who was doing his best to destroy her love of life and free spirit.
"This N'noa fella sounds interesting. Maybe I should steal him away when I'm not being stolen," he smiled sweetly at Zoremet and then cast a glance at his sister. Zelana wasn't the jealous sort and would likely encourage him to meet more of the people she knew for random encounters but he did want to see exactly what she thought of him going along with her idea. His own amusement was showing, however, at the idea of Zoremet taking all of his time. He did like the younger man and wouldn't mind some time alone at some point but he saw in his sister's eyes that she didn't believe he'd stay away from her for long and she was right.
"The rest of the day's plans involve nothing strenuous since Zory's still covered in stitches." He knew what Zelana was hinting at but Lazerat wasn't going to risk pulling any stitches and being a part of the lecture the grumpy Healer would probably give. He also knew what she meant by family stuff. At least, he thought he did. Hoped he did. As far as he knew, nothing else had happened but he had been gone for a while and even when he was home, he tried to avoid his parents as much as possible. Either way, he truthfully replied with, "I always have time for family stuff, Zelly Bean.”
