Oh, Niskziath hesitated, I am sorry that it has been. The Green wasn't the brightest of dragons, but she could assume that her bonded's grief was the cause of Astoreth's long night. It was very nice of Astoreth and A'liran to go out of their way for her bonded, and she'd thank A'liran personally if it wasn't so rude. Usually she'd ask V'zire to inquire if his friends would mind if she spoke with them, but she was keeping distance from her bonded tonight. He didn't want her catching onto his thoughts, and Niskziath respected it. When he was ready, he would tell her. Until then, she'd curl up here with Astoreth and doze off. A'liran was doing a good enough job of taking care of V'zire that she had no need to worry.
"I don't have much I could bet with either, and since I'm really not good at this game, I think I'm better off with having nothing to bet." He was slowly coming out of his shell. The game would do well to distract him from himself, and silently he decided that it was a really good thing A'liran had come along. V'zire couldn't imagine walking all the way back to his hut alone, couldn't imagine trying to fall asleep right now by himself. A'liran wasn't going to stay all night, but it was nice for the time that he was here.
He looked at the hand he was dealt and frowned. Now, it was rather clear why V'zire didn't play card games often. He was an honest person, and what he felt tended to show on his face. Either his hand really sucked, or he couldn't figure out what he actually had in it. He rearranged his hand, organizing it so he could try and get a better understanding of what he got and... nope. "It's a really good thing we're not betting," he mumbled. A'liran laid down his hand, and V'zire's frown deepened. "I think you won," and flashing A'liran his cards, he revealed that all he had was a low numbered pair.
"I usually just hang out with Nisk, or some friends. Um, no kids." He could be sure of that one, at least. The young Greenrider looked vaguely pained at the inquiry over a Weyrmate. No one ever seemed to understand him when he tried to explain his Weyrmate situation. "Uhhh, I kinda do? R'ore's dragon always wins Niskziath's flights, which is why I don't normally... have something happen like what happened." He quickly steered away from that train of thought. "But R'ore already has a Weyrmate, and I find it a little... weird to look for anyone else when Niskziath so clearly favors him and his dragon." V'zire considered it enough of a relationship that he didn't look around for an actual relationship.
