"It's nice that he still holds you in such high regard and that you're keeping busy," X'siar said with a nod. He remembered the bluerider having a certain level of rapport with the Weyrleader back when he'd lived in Fort, but it was good to hear that was still the case, and that the bluerider wasn't letting it get to his head. "Though I suppose it does make sense for you to occasionally pass on tasks to brownriders sometimes since you work so closely with leadership."
Yes, that made more sense than merely strongly suggesting things and intimidating brownriders in his mind. X'siar tilted his head for a moment as he wondered if he already knew that D'hys was from Igen. It was possible, he'd heard a lot of things since he'd become a dragonrider, and he'd had plenty of conversations with the bluerider before too, though admittedly sometimes he'd just quietly listen to the lounge without really paying attention.
"It makes sense why you don't want to go back," he said with a small frown and nod. His own mother had survived the plague only to die in exile, leaving him with just his father. He barely remembered her, but it was enough to make him not terribly fond of the jungle. It did make him wonder how his brother was though. Maybe he'd try to find out later.
The question about Weyrleader M'ris made him cringe slightly. X'siar did not want to say anything ill of the man, but things had been a bit tense in Benden Weyr. "He has been quite stressed, but understandably so considering all that he and the Weyrwoman have gone through so recently. I think he is eager for a change." He just wasn't sure if it would be a good change with everything shaking up and all of the transfers and new leaders stepping in.
The suggestion to move to Igen made sense, though he still wasn't sure about going to such an inexperienced leader. "I don't know much about Bronzerider K'dar, other than hearing about his recent... incidents." It was impressive how his dragon had survived so much, but was that any indication of the quality of the man? I wouldn't be here without you, perhaps there is something to it. Oh! But Zeianth has told me all about the best view to watch the sunset, we should check next time we're there.
That brought an easy smile back to X'siar's face. "Sol already wants to see what the sunset looks like from a certain vantage point." Though if the Weyr really did hold bad memories for D'hys then it probably meant he wouldn't be paying him very many unannounced visits. Not that visits were commonplace as it was. Still, he couldn't help but smirk a little in amusement as he said, "Sending me away to Igen and the chaos of an untested Weyrleader just so you won't be tempted to visit me hm? I see how it is."
