T'ryn had flown through his morning paperwork so he could take the twins from Cazan so she could do some of her own work while their youngest, hopefully, continued to sleep peacefully beside her. Ever since his mate found out he had been doing a lot of her Junior Weyrwoman work and threatened to cut him off from sex so he wouldn't overwork himself in every way, T'ryn relented and stopped trying to do everything. Except he did counter with taking the kids more than her throughout the day so Cazan would have a bit more stress-free time to work on leather. They both had varying degrees of guilt when they had to leave the children in the creche--despite his mom working in it and her sometimes watching the kids in the evenings--so they did their best to juggle everything at once instead.
The twins were starting to get to be too big to carry both at the same time, but his offer to hold hands on their walk to the dining cavern had been rejected and then the double pout came out and T'ryn found himself carrying two toddlers all for a late morning snack he could have asked to be delivered to the weyr or his office. Except, he didn't think he (and Cazan) would ever be able to trust such a thing again thanks to the multiple attacks on their lives. They had fallen into the habit of only eating what they purchased themselves at markets or grabbed directly from the dining cavern since they had to put their trust in someone somewhere and doubted anyone would be able to sabotage the main kitchen.
They were almost to the entrance when T'ryn both started to regret the decision to carry the twins and spotted his young friend. He wasn't sure how long Ereben had been in Telgar, presumably for the upcoming Hatching, but now that he knew the man was around, he'd make a point of visiting regularly. "Ereben! It's good to see you," he greeted warmly with a smile while Carynza openly stared at Ereben and Vayren nestled in closer to T'ryn.
"And let me introduce you to my oldest kids. This gawking lady is Carynza and the shy boy is Vayren. They're also getting heavy, so give me a sec." It took a little convincing and a lot of balancing as he crouched, but eventually both kids let go so they could stand on their own and give T'ryn's arms a break. Standing once more himself, T'ryn smiled again, "how have you been?"
