This was interesting, to say the least. Erisi expected mundane conversation that he would have to drag himself through, but A'liran provided him with the interesting dilemma of determining whether the other Greenrider was insulting or just playing with him. He supposed he should play this through optimistically, but Erisi generally wasn't that type of person. He leaned back on his heels, giving A'liran a carefully distanced look. "Charath knew," he explained, as if he couldn't be bothered to figure out everyones' names on his own. He really couldn't be. Erisi tended to know a person only when that said person was of interest in him. "She won't tell me your name, so I have no idea what it is. She's not very fond of speaking about other people." No, the only names Charath ever actually said to him was his own and Valerian's.
Erisi was speaking in his usual way, which meant it was hard to determine if he was just making idle comments or taking subtle digs at A'liran. "But, you're not incorrect. I value myself far more than I value others, so why take an interest in them at all?" His social group was small, and those who weren't in his social group generally were ignored or picked on. Erisi wasn't really a bully, but he knew how to be mean, and when someone bothered him he liked being mean. For now, it was clear that Erisi was simply testing the waters with A'liran, not being mean, but neither was he necessarily being kind.
"Of course I am. I'd be insulted if you couldn't recognize me." Huh, funny how he demanded to be known while he couldn't bother to recall A'liran's own name. It was these double standards that dictated Erisi's... eventful life.
You are never going to stop talking. I imagine you wouldn't notice me right now even if I turned Gold and laid ten hundred eggs.
'A thousand, love.'
Don't mock me.
"I'shan is a piece of fuckin' work," Erisi grumbled. No, A'liran's comment hadn't gone unnoticed. It was probably for the best, too, as it made Erisi's opinion of the Greenrider rise just a tiny bit. If there was a person he hated most (and there were ton he could pick from), it was I'shan. The Bluerider had effectively tried to ruin his life. The only thing that had redeemed I'shan's terrible decision making skills was Charath. She was the only blessing in a situation Erisi considered distasteful even on the best of days. "Don't get me started on him."
Astoreth is slurping so loudly that the herdbeasts are still nervous. Charath complained loudly to Erisi - she wasn't going to hunt unless the conditions were prime, and they were not yet.
