"So, here I am trying to decide whether to give the boy a good
talking to or chase after the poor girl as she ran off to her room in
tears. I tell you these kids get more dramatic every Turn," E'ril
explained rather loudly as he had another drink of wine, emptying his
glass. He shook it at the bartender indicating he would like another.

}: Perhaps this should be your last one. You're headed for a headache
and a rough morning. Neither would please me and both are also my
problem too.:{

**Fine.** He grumbled back to his lifemate. The blue had done
little in the way of keeping his rider tame as had been requested of
him. The blue did so love his rider's antics and more so when he was
drinking he just wasn't fond of the after effects.

"Thank you so much for entertaining me today, Sofeya. You have
been_such_ a delight," he complimented as his hand, which had somehow
made it's way onto her leg, began to trace small
circles in her skirt.

"It was all my pleasure." Sofeya queried, her eyes half closed as she
turned her glass in her hands. "I'm more than happy to show you around
the hold a bit more before you go."

"Hmm, you're sly woman. If I didn't know any better I'd say you were
trying to seduce me. Convince me other wise, what parts of the Hold did
you have in mind?" His glassy blue eyes tried to read her face. At this
point in his drinking, his normally clean mind was beginning to wander
into more unsanitary thoughts.

"Well, there's the square where the gathers are held, the stables,
technician's complex, other crafters' areas." Sofeya leaned forward,
her face just inches from the dragonrider's. "And if I _am_ trying to
seduce you, is that a bad thing?"

She was so close now he could smell the wine on her breath mixed with
the faint trace of her perfume. "Not entirely. Though, be warned, I do
consider myself something of a well mannered man. I would never suggest
you do anything improper. However, seeing as how you are not one of my
Weyrlings, I cannot very well tell you what to do." It sounded almost
like a dare. He backed away slightly only to take a deep drink from his
now full glass of wine.

"Is that so?" Sofeya slid out of her seat and offered her hand to
him. "Let me show you around a bit more. I'm sure we can find a way
to have a real good time."

Gulping down what was left in his glass, E'ril stood slowly as to not
lose his balance. **Hope you're comfortable. I don't think we're going
anywhere tonight.**

}: As you see fit. I'm fine either way.:{ And with that said, the blue
slipped into a deeper sleep though not too deep. He would keep an ear
out, so to speak, just in case.

E'ril took the offered hand and wrapped an arm around her curvy waist.
"I'm sure we can. Take me away!"

"Oh don't worry." Sofeya began to guide E'ril back to the hold proper,
her eyes sparkling with mischievousness. "I'll be sure to."
