On the one hand he had successfully distracted Mylorah from how upset he'd made her, but on the other hand, now he had to pretend to have lofty goals in front of more people. K'dar would happily keep up the pretense if it would make his sister excited and happy. Then she started to talk about becoming Second, and that made more sense than K'dar liked.
"Oh, that's an idea. I could look around and try to go for Second. I'm not in any rush, this is a long term goal after all." He did his best not to sound too hesitant. And then she brought up Casa, his newest younger sister. "Oh we don't have to bother Casa with this... I'm sure she's too busy to deal with me fumbling around and trying to learn. I'd just get in the way and make things difficult. Besides, if I transfer here you are guaranteed to impress at a different Weyr. If I'm going to transfer anywhere I should wait for that to make sure I can be there to help you."
Hopefully that would help slow things down a little bit and seem reasonable at the same time. Besides, if he did get into a position of power, he might not have enough time to visit his sister and keep a careful (but respectful) eye out for her. And he might have a harder time visiting Yfris, though he wasn't keen to admit that part aloud to anyone at the moment.
