"Well, good, glad to know that not everyone here is delirious." Erisi did take a small amount of comfort in knowing that he was not the only one who was displeased with the situation. But, then again he doubted that anyone could be happy with being kidnapped. There was no active display of hate for the Weyr, though. With so many people being unhappy, one would expect them to band together and try and make a difference. Sure, they were all stuck down South with a bunch of twisted dragonriders, so there was no sure way to leave... but that didn't mean they couldn't make the dragonriders lives equally miserable. They certainly deserved some small amount of payback.
But, Erisi would never be the one to take the lead in such an idea, if only because he valued his hide too highly to allow it to be burnt back on Candidate Isle. He'd already been threatened with it once, and the idea of roasting in general was highly unappealing to him. "You know, perhaps it's because I've been running into more dragonriders than anything else. I haven't been particularly thrilled by Candidacy, and have been... avoiding a great deal of it." He did what was required of him, but it was clear that Erisi had not gone out of his way to make friends. This was the biggest stretch to talk to someone that he had done in a while, and Talian wasn't even that friendly to begin with. However, they shared similar views, and Erisi felt more at ease with Talian because of it.
"I was perfectly happy at home. I got to sing, and I got to drink, and I believe drinking is a little more frowned upon here. I think they could have at least asked me, then I could have gotten the pleasure of telling them 'No' before they did what they were going to do to begin with." Talian looked like he was leaving, which didn't particularly bother Erisi. If the man wanted to go, he very well could go. Erisi's judgment of him was less harsh than it was on others, if only because they were stuck in the same position. He did not like the man enough yet to flat out say 'come sit and chat with me'. That was a little... too forward for Erisi's tastes.
