"I like to think that I'm not that much of a wimp," I'shan said, pouting momentarily. He lifted his hands and smoothed his hair back, trying to get the stray wet pieces off of his forehead. He could sense the shortness and boredom in Valerian's voice, which initially wounded the bluerider's delicate feelings, but after a moment of thought he decided he probably deserved it. He still found a small smile for the younger bluerider and nodded in acceptance.
"All right," I'shan said, eyes downcast. It was late and he was tired. Bed would probably suit him, but he already expected he would have a lot of trouble sleeping. He slowly started to rise from the warm water, initially uncomfortable in the much cooler air, and reached for a towel. I'shan was silent for a few moments as he toweled himself off and reached for a robe.
"Hey," he finally said, turning around the face the weyrling. It was dark, but I'shan's nervous but wholly sincere smile was just barely visible in the glowlight. "Thanks for talking. I guess it's just a bunch of crap to you, but I'm glad I'm one of the ones you asked for advice," I'shan said. He figured the notoriously indifferent young man wouldn't care much for sappy words, so in spite of his desire to babble on about how much he wished he could be a part of his searchees lives, he just grinned.
"You're gonna be just fine. Stay awesome, okay? I gotta go get some sleep."
Before he made it out of the room, though, I'shan stopped one more time. "Also, just so you know..." he said, pausing briefly. "Ilveriath likes Veeth. Says he's sweet and easy to talk to."
