"How is my favorite brownrider?" Saibra asked as in Z'an's ear as she passed behind him in the Dining Cavern and then crawled onto the bench beside him.
"Whisper in my ear and you'll have me at your beck and call." Z'an's head turned immediately, a grin splitting his face. "Hello, gorgeous."
"I think it has been too long since I last saw you." Saibra said as she flagged down a drudge to bring her a plate and some klah.
"I've been here." Z'an grinned. "Well, mostly. I go between here and River Bluff pretty often, but you know where I'm at." He bent to speak in her own ear. "I hear you've just been a little busy."
The Weyrwoman's Second chuckled softly, "Just a little, but I am sure I can always find time for you." She winked at that, liking how easy it was to flirt and talk with Z'an.
"Well, now that I know I'm your favorite, maybe I should just call on you." His grin widened. "I have to keep my ranking after all." He nudged her companionably. "Seriously, though, how have you been?"
The woman released a little sigh, although she flashed a smile at the drudge that set a plate and cup of klah before her, "Seriously? Busy! I had not realized how busy life would be once I took over the Wing during Threadfall for Cyradis's pregnancy. I am really enjoying it though and am especially looking forward to the Weyrlings graduation."
"Good. I really don't know Cyradis well, but I'm glad you're enjoying it. I've had my run in with N'vanik though." He chuckled at the memory, "the man has a temper."
"N'vanik... Is a different sort of Weyrleader than I have ever dealt with in the past. Good at his job, but different nonetheless." She took a bite of her food, chewing thoughtfully before glancing at Z'an, "So what about you? Aren't you a papa-to-be?"
"I am indeed." His smile was one of immense satisfaction. "Gelira's a wonderful lass and the babe is healthy so far. I told her I would help as much as I can and so I will. My first babe, you know." He spoke with obvious pride.
"That is so wonderful Z'an, congratulations. You will be a great father and enjoy fatherhood. I have never understood those dragonriders who throw their children into the crèche never to see them again. I love having Kaibren and Saidrene around as much as possible." Saibra took a sip of her klah, "Are you close with the mother?"
"Thank you." He munched on a piece of bread, nodding as she spoke. He swallowed. "Gelira and I are pretty close, I think. She's fun to be around, doesn't make assumptions, and is as excited about the child as I am. " He grinned. "I'm sure her father doesn't like me though. Y'gel did nothing but glare at me when I saw him."
Saibra laughed as she finished her plate and pushed it away, "What? How could he not like you?" She shook her head but figured that perhaps Y'gel was just being a protective father.
Z'an grinned. "I knocked up his daughter. How would you react?" He shrugged. "I'm not worried. Gelira's mature enough to know her own mind." He glanced at her. "I hear you've been hanging around a rather hunky looking candidate lately."
The Weyrwoman cocked and eyebrow, "A hunky looking candidate huh? Well you know I like to train them up young." She winked and then shook her head, "My daughter is certainly smitten with him. His name is Jenackt."
"That's the rumor. " He winked at her as he chewed on another bite, then his eyes widened playfully." You're playing with your daughter's crush? Saibra...I'm shocked! That might permanently damage the girl!"
Saibra chuckled and waved her hand, "You know this is the Weyr and we have no scruples or morals." She ran her fingers through her hair, having worn it down for once, "But seriously, I am trying to help smooth some of his social edges out. "
"I hear he has quite a few edges." Z'an's face turned serious for a moment. "Heard quite a bit about the boy, actually. Rumors are flying like crazy about him." He frowned. "There's some question as to why he's here at all. I heard about that fight. "
"I thought the same thing until I began working with him. Beneath all of the rough mannerisms I think there is a dragonrider hidden." She truly believed that and looked forward to seeing if Jenackt would Impress, "But enough of that. What are your plans for the evening?"
"Well...I had been planning on going back to my weyr and pondering the meaning of life." Z'an looked at her with wide eyes. "Did you have something else more interesting in mind?" He waggled his brows.
Saibra's blue eyes sparkled as she smiled, "I do, in fact, I was needing a partner to work with me on my strip dragonpoker. I am terrible at it."
He leaned towards her. "But you have me at a disadvantage. You know I don't wear undergarments."
"That's what I was betting on, dear brownrider." The goldrider said in return, her lip pulled into a grin.
He rose from his seat and picked up his plate as well as hers. "Naughty. I like it." He gestured with his chin. "Well, lead on, goldrider. Debauch me."
