Erisi glanced down to the cup of klah in R'nd's hand, wanting some himself, but he was far too dignified to outright ask for it. Wasn't it proper manners to make sure the person you slept with the previous night was well fed and treated before shipping them off to a day of mind-numbing chores? Perhaps Erisi just expected too much, but it would have been far more nice to wake up to the smell of klah wafting towards his nostril than Kerrin's squeaky voice. Erisi could very well imagine his perfect morning after a good romp, and this was not turning out to be it. Sigh. He should really stop expecting things to go his way, considering where life had taken him so far.
"Well enough," Erisi responded in his typically cool voice. Their night of passion was over, and Erisi found himself stuck in the awkward stage of wanting to leave, but also wanting to defend himself against Kerrin. The Weyrbrat was not eying him favorably, so Erisi assumed that he was either friends with R'nd, or really good friends with R'nd. He could find out, but he wasn't sure that he wanted to get tangled up in this mess. He wanted a nice night of no-strings attached sex, and now there looked to be a few strings wrapped around his fingers that he had no idea were there before. If only he had developed the tendency to wake up early. He could have slipped off and not have to deal with Kerrin's sudden outburst of disgust (or jealousy, Erisi couldn't decide which).
"Are you?" he questioned loftily, arching a fine eyebrow high on his forehead at R'nd. The way he spoke was hardly serious, rather an almost playful inquiry. "If so, I'd advise avoiding Lymsleia. I think the poor girl's desperate. Talian too, you might break him."
His gaze flickered back over to Kerrin, an effortless smile gracing his features. "Have you gotten around to Kerrin, then? Looks like he might need it." Was he baiting Kerrin? Why yes, he was! Was he doing it maliciously? Actually, no. If he had to get up early in the morning, he was going to have some fun at another's expense. Besides, he was fairly confident Kerrin probably wanted it anyways. He might as well make the open suggestion for the both of them. He could almost be convinced to stick around if R'nd did decide to make his way through the candidates, starting with Kerrin.
Almost.
He wasn't sure he'd ever come to terms with the tone of Kerrin's voice.
