Geric’s passion for his particular speciality in his craft was infectious, and Mylorah asked questions to get him to keep talking. He finally seemed comfortable and confident and she didn’t want that to disappear again. He even had her contemplating if she should visit him again sometime for lessons. It wasn’t something she would have ever considered something she would be good at or enjoy but Geric did an excellent job of selling the job and it did sound peaceful.
But the talk did wind down and her curiosity shifted to the rooms around them until some actors were introduced to her. Mylorah gushed at them, praising their performances and the play overall and didn’t mind answering some of their questions in return about the Weyr. She also made sure to keep up with little touches to Geric or taking his hand to remind the men that she was there with him willingly without actually calling them out on their teasing. It seemed mostly harmless but she could tell Geric was still uncomfortable with it and she was a touchy-feely person to begin with.
As they were leaving, Mylorah promised to see them soon at the party and then cocked her head at Geric when he groaned and said something curious. “One, we need to go if only because that is such a cool name and I need to see what’s in there and why it’s called that. Two, is it really so bad to have them think that? I don’t mind helping you out and playing girlfriend.” And then she was holding his hand in both of hers again and bouncing a bit on the balls of her feet with a big smile. “But I really do want to see the Skeleton Closet.”
