"Always good to be careful and pick your battles when it comes to rule breaking," K'dar said with a smile. He glanced around to make sure no one was listening before he leaned in and quietly whispered, "If you ever do need my help though don't be afraid to tell me. Even if you broke a rule. I'm sure we can figure something out." He gave her a conspiratorial wink at that. "And I'm sure you and Amagrith will do just fine, though I will always worry at least a tiny bit." It was the truth, and he wasn't sure he'd ever be able to completely stop worrying about his family to some degree.
"I've been Weyrsecond for longer than I realized. Did T'ryn tell you I didn't even know about the promotion at first? It took me far too long to realize. I just thought I'd been doing extra work to help out without really noticing that it was all the duties normally assigned to a second." He smiled, though it was a bittersweet thought to think about moving upward. "I wanted Highreaches you know. Yfris planted that idea as a silly little thing so I could have dinner with his family after we fucked without his wondering why I was there. And... I suppose the more I talked about it and thought about it the more I wanted it. I wanted it so badly that Tiber and I explored a few landmarks, he picked out a nice outcropping that he liked the look of, I even brought Wes there to secretly look around."
K'dar reached up to gently pet the flitter, tilting his head a little as Mylorah mentioned she'd already met him. "Ah, I couldn't remember if you had or not. I'm sorry. He's pretty good. Mostly. He nips me when I don't pay him enough attention, and I've been working on that. Though now maybe if he wants attention he can go to you. But no biting." He said that last bit more firmly to the flitter. He would be much less tolerant of the flitter hurting other people for no good reason. The flitter let out an almost offended chirp and skittered across to Mylorah's shoulder to hide in her dark hair as he gave her a flurry of nuzzling affection.
He couldn't help but laugh a little at that. "Just don't give him too many treats. Though... I guess it would be fine if he spent more time with you because of it. I think I told you why I got him in the first place. Not just to try and keep a better eye on you and the other siblings. I know I can't be everywhere at once... I know I can't keep you all safe. I couldn't even be there for Wes. But I can do my best with what I have and try to be there for you afterwards at least." K'dar frowned, shaking his head. "Sorry... I'm still... It still hurts a lot. I didn't mean to go there. We were talking about Tibs?"
At hearing his name and the feeling his person's distress, the bronze flitter crawled back over to the man and climbed up to sprawl on top of his head with a soft playful growl. K'dar huffed slightly and couldn't help the small smile that crept back on his face. "Hopefully I can teach him to deliver letters reliably at least once he gets a bit older and more mature. I might have to ask Cazan for help. Sure, Sir is a menace, but she can still get him to deliver and fetch things and I think he'd be way worse if he belonged to someone else."
