D’hys was in the mood for a game but he couldn’t decide what he wanted to play and who he wanted to use as the pawn. There were several still lined up that he wanted to get to but the timing just wasn’t right. B’jin was, naturally, at the top of the list but as much as he hated to say it, D’hys knew he had waited too long on making his move with that one and would likely have to wait a bit longer for a proper opening. He loved a good challenge but it was rather clear that B’jin and R’nd were too wrapped up in their relationship to truly consider outside influences trying to steal one or the other away for amusement and bragging rights. Perhaps that game could start a little early with some strategies being laid out with casual encounters to weaken B’jin’s defences. Yes, that could kill some time.
As he strolled through the Dining Hall with a plate of lunch, gray gaze sweeping over the milling about group for someone he wanted to spend some time with, D’hys realised luck was smiling down on him like usual when an adorable young greenrider sitting alone came into view. That’s one of Z’ia’s old classmates, isn’t it? What’s his name again? D’hys could remember people when he wanted and had a surprisingly good grasp on knowledge about greenriders in particular since chasing them was such a fun sport and collecting them all was a fun hobby but the younger ones were still a bit fuzzy around the edges. Niskziath’s rider, V’zire. And no, we have not chased them before. She’s… whimsical, if I want to be nice, but otherwise, she’s fairly stupid.
Even better!
D’hys was fine with repeats – some had definitely earned a spot amongst his favourite partners – but a new challenge was what he craved and the little greenrider that he hadn’t chased before and, if he recalled correctly from Z’ia gossiping about his classmates, V’zire was naïve, a sucker for love, and hard to just toss into bed. It was exactly what he was after. When he started smiling to himself – and what a sweet little smile it was, too – D’hys knew he was talking to his dragon and it was the perfect time to slide in while the man was distracted.
“Hey, V’zire, right?” D’hys moved to stand behind the bench across the table from V’zire and offered his own sweet smile. He was a predator, there was no denying that, but he was a hidden one that struck when it was too late to run for safety and playing up kindness always won people over. “What has you in such a good mood? Oh, sorry. Do you mind if I join you?” D’hys set his tray down and quickly made his calculated apology that would have it seem like he was used to joining friends or striking up a conversation with anyone and sitting down without worrying about intruding. Except, this time he was worried; or so he’d lead on for now.
