T'ryn heard Yfris saying something about oral and knew he didn't need to tune in for that and allowed himself a little longer to absorb the news. No one deserved to be poisoned but hadn't B'jin been through enough? And then there was R'nd, likely out picking up a treat for B'jin only to return and find out his mate could be on his deathbed again. It was becoming a lot clearer that his family was a target that day but he couldn't let his fear consume him. They would get word out to Ista in a moment, assuming it wasn't just a Telgar-specific attack or that they were too late. "I'm okay. For now," he added, knowing Cazan would see through the lie it was. "I'll do my duty first and then I'll worry while we hold each other later." If he was going to live up to everyone's belief that he could be Second, then he needed to act like one even in the midst of a personal crisis.
He carefully passed a sleeping Vayren back to his mother when Yfris whined about his wine but that he should be able to entertain a Lord without much issue. He had missed what the question was about but he'd be filled in later if he needed to know more as he still had to answer some interesting questions the news of B'jin had interrupted. Cazan knew it all anyway so he wasn't embarrassed to talk about it in front of her but it was a little awkward telling his Weyrleader. It was a solid idea, however, so he couldn't just brush it aside. "My only other lover is greenrider M'quel but she became a Healer to help stop the injuries her friends received and she's not the jealous sort. One of her lovers is bluerider Qu'va and he thought they had a deeper relationship than they do but he also wouldn't do anything like this from what I know of him." He left out D'hys since even though the man was scary and cold, everyone knew how committed to the well-being of dragons he was. T'ryn was also convinced that if D'hys wanted someone eliminated then he would do it a lot more quietly.
"I don't really have past lovers, sir, but there is Zelana. She was sad but understanding. She's also living with A'tay and I don't see her having a reason to target our family." T'ryn didn't mention Casa for obvious reasons but he also didn't think she would poison him or their siblings, even if she was still mad at him. He also knew N'mor wouldn't want to be mentioned and T'ryn would never add him to a list of suspects anyway.
"I can't really think of any other lovers of my lovers that would do it. Unless it's Yfris or Kor'is but let's be honest--it's too much work for either of them to bother with." He slid his gaze to the lordling and the man shrugged but didn't dispute the claim. They both knew he could put in the work when he absolutely had to but this was too elaborate and didn't seem to hold any direct benefit to him.
"Sir," the protective firelizard hissed and T'ryn ignored him. He would have to remember to watch how he addressed S'far when the little menace was around. "I have three brothers in Ista's Candidate barracks, another brother living there, and the Weyrwoman is my sister. Would it be quicker if I, or anyone you trust, go there in person? Syrendryth can contact Thallyath and Xyxyth as soon as we arrive and we can land by the barracks."
