Whether it was simply a compulsion to keep everything organized or Ekshan had fallen easily into his new role of servitude, Gabrin couldn’t say, but he did give a little crooked smirk when the other man straightened his discarded shoes. It was probably why Tanriel liked having the boy around; he was quiet, clean, organized, and knew how to play up being courteous and respectful when needed. Too bad his adoring wife didn’t realise those were all bonuses to the main reason Ekshan was under their employee.
“Of course I am. Why would I deny a chance to see the place they have called home for longer than you’ve been alive?” Gabrin was indeed curious about what kept them in the South for so long beyond the paranoia he had been told about. The original Weyr leadership seemed a bit off their rockers but the reasoning for staying South to keep the species safe were understandable enough – assuming his new contact could be believed. Perhaps the real reason was to form an army that could dominate once more and take what they wanted, which wasn’t too far from the current scenarios. They returned and wanted their original place among the top of the food chain but the Lords weren’t having it now that they reigned supreme.
“I also said I’d be bringing a guest with me.” The statement was left to hang between them as Gabrin crossed both arms behind his head to lean back comfortably. It was a show of how at ease he was around Ekshan, knowing the younger man couldn’t do anything to harm him. In some ways, it was a form trust but mostly, it was arrogance. Now he just had to see if his clever lover could figure out all of the pieces of what he was toying with now.
