As Talian beamed with pride and confidence, Valerian felt that was a good look for his timid friend. He didn’t give voice to that thought, however, as he realized Talian knew he was onto him about finding safe subjects. So he let the conversation drop and waited to see if his suggestion would bring up something else, something that they could work with. When Fiora was mentioned, Valerian didn’t think they were headed into another safe zone, or perhaps she would have been pre-Katila. He recalled her being mentioned that whacky morning when Talian was high so he knew she was important to the healer and not just some crush he hadn’t gotten over yet.
While he could read a situation and know when he shouldn’t say things, but usually still did, there were the rare times when Valerian followed his diplomatic training and held his tongue. Fiora seemed a bit too delicate of a topic and he wasn’t ready to deal with the emotions that could come out of Talian, especially when his blissfully pain-free existence had him enjoying pleasant talks and relaxing with a friend. Well, as much as one could relax while in a healer’s bare office.
So he gladly hopped on the confession Talian gave of also enjoying star-gazing. “I actually like the time between sunset and sunrise. Sunsets have majestic colours and a serenity to them while the night can be peaceful but still have its own beautiful melody you can’t hear in the day. Add in the stars for your viewing pleasure…” Valerian knew he was starting to show his Harper self with how poetic he was becoming and broke off with an unusually sheepish grin. When he got into that sort of mood, he preferred to be alone with a piece of parchment to write out a song for his own enjoyment. It was a rarity when he started spouting such nonsense in front of someone. Erisi didn’t count in this regard since the songs they wrote were based on his friend’s hatred of dragonriders and Valerian’s skills were used to stop each piece from sounding like a long rant and turn them more lyrical.
“Anyway, we should view them together sometime.” Wasn’t he just turning into the social creature. He figured sharing his tree with Erisi wasn’t too bad so star-gazing with Talian couldn’t hurt either.
