“W-wing Riders, Sir?” he asked, caught off guard by the answer – his next words blurted out before his head could keep up. “But Riders are adults. Why would adults want to play children games?” he asked before blushing furiously at his outburst to a man of rank as he realized that the man was a WingLEADER to be calling the rider’s ‘his’. “S-sir.” He added on after the blush to make sure he was still addressing the man properly. He suddenly found that perhaps this wasn’t as interesting and curious of a conversation as he had first thought – his mind now distracted by the fact that he didn’t want to get in trouble.
Even so… Why WOULD adults be playing children games? When another question was posed in his direction, Bordtai was forced to stay within talking distance, though he did move down a little further to wash a new section of table.
“Uhm… There is Dragon, Dragon, Wher.” He said, confused why adults would want to play tag but not hide and seek. Come to think of it, besides a few who played with the children, he’d never seen a full wing of riders play any games at all. Until recently, there hadn’t even been wings at the Weyr.
