R’nd sipped his wine and nodded at the list of people that would likely come and frowned a bit at all the ‘maybes’. It was late enough in the evening that everyone would be done work for the day but still early enough that those that rose ridiculously early could still come by for a quick visit. Indecisive people when it came to parties always made R’nd sad. It was hard to plan a party if you didn’t know if people would show or not. It’d be a shame to have too much food and some of it spoil from sitting out too long because no one was there to eat it. A glance to B’jin, though, reassured the bluerider that the wine at least would be properly dealt with regardless of the number of guests.
“B’jin has been busier than me. I’ve been on a few Searches lately but for the most part I’m being the stereotypical lazy bluerider that’s only good for flirting and spending time with.” R’nd laughed as he made fun of himself before sipping the wine again. He loved socializing and would spend the day talking with anyone that wanted a conversation. He didn’t pay any mind to rank or position within the Weyr when it came to such things and would even lend a hand with laundry or dishes if needed so they could continue a conversation. He did wonder, however, if he should look into finding more to do with his down time. He could only go out Searching so much and while he didn’t mind being called in to assist in a class from time to time when B’jin needed it, R’nd wasn’t sure he wanted to be an Assistant full time.
At that moment he spotted Kahleena enter. He smiled at the Weyrwoman and stood to greet her properly. “Kahleena! It’s lovely seeing you enjoying some downtime,” he kissed her cheek in greeting as well, definitely showing his earlier train of thought to everyone. Kahleena was a kind woman and while she was Weyrwoman and he did show her respect, he figured it was also nice to be treated as just another person sometimes as well.
He waved to the seat he had just vacated from beside Mulrissa for her to take. “Sit and enjoy yourself. Would you like a drink?” It wasn't his party but he naturally slipped into the role of a host, wanting to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. He also wanted to make sure Mulrissa was included in that. He could tell she had spent a lot of time preparing for the gathering and he felt like he could take over some of the hosting so she could mingle and relax like everyone else.
