Rh'us was quite cross as he drummed his fingers on the desk that was going to be his, in the room he'd worked so hard to get assigned to be his research lab and office. He was fairly sure he'd already repacked everything he'd managed to bring, had those parcels stowed and secured to Hispidath's straps as the bronze waited outside in an even mix of patience and irritation. Can we go back yet? You already have the things you brought, you don't need anything else. And you certainly don't need a candidate's help getting what you don't need.

The healer turned bronzerider ignored the dragon for the moment, fingers continuing to drum before he started to open and close the drawers of his desk to just have something to do. It should have been empty, he certainly hadn't put anything into it yet, but in the top drawer was a larger paint brush. He frowned as he grabbed it and eyed the bristles. It was practically new, just filled with dust. Someone probably had acquired it from an artist and used it for cleaning before forgetting it in the drawer. The brief distraction wasn't lost on Hispidath who curiously gave a peek through his rider's eyes.

Oh, for your models? I found a nice piece of wood out here, I may go back and get you another since I have to wait for so long... The bronze was torn, pleased with the idea of further contributing to his mate's positive hobby but also not wanting to linger any longer than necessary. With a soft annoyed huff he decided that finding that other piece of wood was the more productive option available to him.

Rh'us smiled before Bitty popped into the room and gave him a soft chirp before crawling up to his shoulder. Ah, Ulliendis was almost there. Good. As soon as the candidate opened the door he beckoned him over. "Close the door and come sit down. I've not too much time before Hispidath gets too impatient and tries to just drag me out of here and back to Benden. I'm assuming you're here because you're willing to indulge in my little request, correct?" He raised an eyebrow curiously as he eyed the young blonde.

Rh'us was an interesting fellow. He was intense and often angry which left Ulliendis more alert when he was near him. But Rh'us was also lacking in some morals that everyone was apparently supposed to have which made him fun and kept the Candidate intrigued enough to keep poking at him and answering summons. Like now, as he tucked the small piece of paper into a pocket and let the firelizard know he would help before following her to the infirmary. He didn't need the escort but Bitty was an adorable thing that also nagged him a time or two before when he tried to interrupt Rh'us' work and he didn't want to be on the receiving end again for getting distracted or walking too slowly.

She disappeared just before reaching the goal and he suspected Bitty was updating Rh'us on his arrival, maybe letting the Healer make himself presentable. That was another facet of the man--he was attractive and they did flirt, but Ulliendis was still too on edge to do more than that. He knocked, slipped inside the office, shut the door, and gracefully moved across the small room to the chair he was told to sit in. See? He could follow orders when he wanted to and keep sassy comments to himself on top of that.

"That's correct. I'm always willing to be a replacement key," Ulliendis gave an innocent smile, going along with the excuse he did not believe for one second. A lost key? Really? Rh'us was not the sort of man to be that sloppy and disorganised but that didn't need to be said. What did he care what the Healer was up to? All right, he did care as he was a nosy bastard so perhaps it was better to say, did he really care who was being screwed over in their little adventure? Nope, not a bit. It was also nice to have someone appreciate his skills every so often and it had been a while since anyone needed a lock picked.

"By the way, good to see you out of the infir--well, out of Benden's infirmary at least and having some downtime. No poisonings to keep you busy today?" Orgailian had to find other ways to keep himself busy when he was in Benden thanks to the murder attempts on several people. Poison was such a tricky substance to work with, especially when experimenting with types and doses. People kept surviving (hooray for them) but it kept interesting Healers busy. Sometimes a dagger was the better way to go if cleanliness wasn't a priority.

Rh'us gave Ulliendis a smile, though it was brief as his all too recent frantic time in the infirmary was brought up. "No, no poisoning patients to treat at the moment, just an infuriating amount of paperwork to undo all of the paperwork I already had to do." Rh'us scowled, not even wanting to go into the hoops he'd had to go through in order to be allowed to submit that paperwork in the first place. "Hopefully soon enough all of that will get settled so that I can finish getting my research and my lab back into working order... though by the time that happens I'll probably have an infant."

As grumpy as he seemed, he couldn't help a small thrill at that thought. He'd wanted a child for so long... but that desire was terrifying in its own way. There was so much that could go wrong, and so much he still had left to do. Even with August and the creche he knew he wasn't going to be able to focus on his plans as much as he wanted to. He'd have to just see how things went, and do his best to adapt accordingly as best as he could.

It will be for the better. Hispidath said in gentle reassurance. I already know how you feel about everything. I am quite excited. Varanuth and I have been... discussing things. Like names for her to suggest. Of course they had. Rh'us rolled his eyes and glanced over at Ulliendis before saying, "Sorry, Hispidath is... excited and a bit distracting. Anyway, the vials I need are in that same supply cabinet you broke into for me before, so you should be able to handle it easily enough."

He paused a moment to dig through his pockets before he pulled out a folded slip of paper and passed it over. "The labels of the ones I need will match that list. Since someone found out I wasn't going to be completing this transfer they've started to be quite... stingy. Unfortunately some items that I'd brought with me are already locked in there, hence my list. And I trust you can keep this discreet. Not everyone knows my transfer has been interrupted."

Of course he knew that Ulliendis would keep things discreet. The candidate was up to all sorts of his own trouble it seemed, so why not just use him to save himself some time and argument? Rh'us couldn't help but eye the young man for a moment, smirking slightly as he leaned back in his chair a bit more. "But before you head off on that... how have you been? Finding ways to amuse yourself I trust? You could always come back to Benden with me and be an assistant." And maybe he'd finally get a blowjob out of that mouth.

"'Broke into' is so undignified," Ulliendis grumbled while Rh'us dug about in his pockets. What he did was a fine art, a skill that not many possessed and those that did were not as graceful and talented. He had style and speed and not many locks stumped him for long. He took pride in other areas of work but this was his defining special talent--although Geric would argue it was his ability to go emotionless when the time called for it. Speaking of that man, he needed to send a letter and check in again. Give and take some updates.

Ulliendis took the paper and skimmed down the list. Since he wasn't being told to memorise it and give back or destroy the paper, he didn't commit much to memory--for now. When left alone he would see if the contents meant anything to him or anything together. But really, what did he know of Healer business? The paper was folded and tucked neatly into one of the pockets on the legs of his pants, though he didn't bother going for the hidden pocket within that. "Come now, Healer bronzerider Rh'us. What about me makes you think I'm anything but discreet?" He flashed a large grin, well aware of how he looked lounging in the chair with his elaborate necklace and matching bracelet and brightly covered shirt. He could have changed into something more subdued but that would certainly make him stand out more. Being so loud in appearance and voice meant people started to tune out his outlandish ways and he actually blended in a lot more easily.

"Oh, I'm always amused. How can I not be when the Weyrs are full of so much fun and drama? Of course I might lend a hand in creating some of that but the outcomes are worth the little bit of effort I have to do." He waved a hand dismissively over his own tampering with some things as if it wasn't a big deal. But then that hand clutched at the large colourful glass beads of his necklace as he gave a Gangleri Approved horrified expression--though his voice was still playful, nearly mocking. "But Benden is so dangerous lately! How could you ask such a thing of me? Especially by not giving more details of what being your assistant may entail."

Rh'us couldn't help but chuckle a little. "I suppose the cabinet you assisted with works just as well then." Such a dramatic and ridiculous young man, but he supposed that had to do with his Harper background more than anything. It seemed to match the other Harpers he'd met in passing in the past. Even the ones who had ended up on dragons seemed to keep a bit of that dramatic tendency.

He returned Ulli's grin, mostly because he was sure that the candidate's grin and everything else was for show. He could put up with a show if it meant saving himself some more time and frustration and more importantly, more paperwork. Especially since at this point just the thought of paperwork threatened to give him a headache on its own. "Well you do enjoy being quite flamboyant, and not just in your attire. Flamboyancy and discretion don't tend to go hand in hand in my experience." Rh'us paused at that, head tilted as he considered the young man. "Though I suppose your other talents seem to have escaped notice. Maybe it's all just a sort of distraction. So long as you continue to do good work I suppose it doesn't matter." He shrugged.

As Ulli went on about creating a bit of drama he couldn't help but snort softly in amusement. "Are you sure you aren't still a Harper? I'm sure there's more drama to be had if you went back to the Hall or went on circuit." The reaction to his invitation to lure the man up to be his assistant made Rh'us roll his eyes. "Clearly I'll just have to keep you safe. And as for that assistant position, clearly blowjobs."

He gave a wiggle of his eyebrows at the young man before chuckling and saying, "But really it would just be for my research. You've helped with it before, minor measurements, mixing, directed compounding, babysitting my tubes as they heat or cool, help with keeping my supplies organized and such. Nothing terribly exciting to most people, but you might learn something. Maybe you'll find being a healer suits, though it's much less dramatic. Honestly I just remember that you have steady hands from the last time you assisted me."

Rh’us was starting to sound like the Master Harpers. They constantly went after him for his appearance and he constantly ignored them. They finally gave up when he kept providing consistent good results on his tests out in the field. He was quite proud of himself for never pointing out that he even had them fooled enough to underestimate him and assume he was just a nuisance to ignore. People saw what they wanted to see and in his craft, that was a good thing and he encouraged it however he could.

“The Hall is dreadfully dull, even with the theatre kids roaming around and the circuit is far too much work. I’d be utterly exhausted from the travel alone.” Travelling would actually be fun but the one area he actually had struggled in was performing. His singing wasn’t quite strong enough to carry him from Hold to Hold, though he could play a couple of instruments well enough to pass an evening. He proved to himself and the others that he could do it when he had to but it wasn’t something Ulliendis desired doing regularly. Special missions to look for something specific and not just eavesdrop every night for one juicy tidbit was what he preferred but even those were a bit stifling. He liked how open the Weyrs were for him to do as he pleased.

“If I didn’t leave it all behind for the wonderful Weyr life, I wouldn’t have sexy Healers asking me to give them blowjobs.” He returned the eyebrow wiggle with a wide smile, keeping his voice neutral and light. He still hadn’t fully categorized Rh’us so it wasn’t wise to flirt too much and back himself into a corner. The Healer was fun but also worth careful consideration. But the real offer did hold some appeal and it would give him more of a purpose during the day and provide him with a reason to be in an area he normally wouldn’t be allowed without a good excuse.

“Honestly, your offer is tempting, though that would mean you would be waiting on more paperwork. I have to apply for a home Weyr transfer and there might even be something for you to sign saying I’m your assistant so I can get out of random chores and focus solely on giving you my steady hands.” The idea was already growing on him. Benden seemed to have a lot of action of late and Fort stayed consistent in its blandness. Rh’us could provide more needed excitement.

"Really? I'd always heard the Harper Hall was filled to the brim with scandalous drama. Ah well, shows what I know." Rh'us gave an easy shrug at that. "Then I suppose the Weyrs really are the best for you. I never particularly found the appeal in that sort of drama though." With a smirk he added, "Though I do see the grand appeal in blowjobs." It was almost odd really that Ulliendis was proving so difficult to seduce, especially when he did things like slyly refer to sexy healers.

Or perhaps he's thinking of a sexier healer than you, Hispidath offered as a suggestion. Nonsense. Rh'us almost rolled his eyes at that as he huffed. "Somehow, my dragon seems to think there might be sexier healers requesting blowjobs out there. But since I'm sure there are not, you will be accepting my offer, yes?"

At the mention of more paperwork Rh'us couldn't help but scowl and shudder. "I suppose, but I could also just make you fill your own paperwork out while I just sign off on them. Signing is easy enough." He gave it a dismissive wave though he couldn't help but find the mood a bit soured. Ah well, if he could get Ulli to come be his assistant then he'd have more opportunities to try and get that pretty mouth around his dick eventually.

"So if you want to join me in Benden, I'll sign things for you. Otherwise I suppose you can continue to stay in dreary Fort and I'll just have to look forward to your occasional visit." Rh'us reached up to give Bitty a gentle scratch on the head before asking, "Will you be taking your time? I can leave Bitty with you to deliver things once you've acquired them."

Interesting. Had he struck a nerve by not jumping at the blowjob comment? Ulliendis was still cautious about the idea of being that stripped down and vulnerable with the healer but it was good to know that sex did seem to be an easy way in with the man. Perhaps his own guard was down at that time and some other games could be played. Loose lipped lovers could be fun but somehow he still didn’t think Rh’us would be that chatty even while receiving a blowjob.

“I think working alongside you could be fun and educational so if your offer is a serious one, I might join you in Benden soon. Maybe by the end of the month? I don’t think there’s a lot of paperwork for a Candidate transfer, certainly a lot less than a healer.” Ulliendis gave a sweet smile as he poked one final time at the man’s bad luck with forms and transfers before letting it drop. “Do I get my own special little room to call my own if I’m your assistant? Or will I still be stuck languishing away in the barracks?” The only perk about the barracks was overhearing conversations and gossip and he could do that while visiting a friend or sitting at the right spot in the dining cavern. “Think of all the nefarious deeds I can get up to in my own room.” Privacy was definitely a luxury for a Candidate, especially for one that wanted to write letters or work on a project.

“I don’t need a lot of time. Should be easy enough to get to the cabinet at this hour and your list is clear. She can stay, though. Might actually be easier or quicker that way.” Considering he would have to smuggle out multiple jars, it made sense to have the firelizard with him. He could test how much she could carry at once and properly prepare for any extra trips needed and keep that in mind for any future endeavours with Rh’us.

"As much as I do enjoy a bit of banter and some flirtation, yes, it is quite the serious offer. You've helped me before and you weren't infuriatingly inadequate in either your mental abilities or your physical ones. You'd be surprised at how hard it is to teach someone the very simple task of accurately measuring and dispensing liquids into beakers without spilling things everywhere or shaking things. So you fill the forms, I'll sign where needed." Despite the added little mention of the forms required, the healer still smiled, pleased to be acquiring an assistant. And a decent one at that!

Rh'us was already thinking about the various tasks and routines he could pass off to Ulliendis and all of the time he could save himself for his hobbies and projects. Though the candidate's cheeky question about his quarters made him chuckle. "Well if you're going to be up to nefarious deeds I might have to leave you in the candidate barracks," He said with an amused huff as he smirked. "But I'll see what I can do about getting you your own room, I'd hate for you to bring a guest into my research lab just because you wanted a private spot to fuck."

Because clearly you're the only one allowed to fuck in your work areas. As dry and annoyed as the bronze made the words sound, he could feel the amusement coming from Hispidath at the thought. Of course. Rh'us turned his attention back to Ulli and gave the young man a broad smile. "I look forward to seeing you in Benden soon, though the sooner you handle your end of the paperwork, the sooner I can determine if you'll be able to get that private room. Bitty, be a dear and assist the young man."

The flitter gave his hand a quick nuzzle before hopping over to land gently on Ulli's shoulders with a soft chirp. Rh'us stretched as he stood up and gave the young man a nod. "I'll be headed back for now. She'll know where to take things if you tell her to deliver them to me. When you're done just make sure you let her know it's the last delivery so she doesn't go back and pester you for more." With that he gave his hopefully future assistant a pat on the shoulder as he passed by to go find Hispidath and head back home, whistling softly to himself as he walked.
