Subject: And are you?
In reply to: Nerilki (Avianyth) 's message, "Mine still works . . . it's green, which means that I am really stressed" on 18:39:08 05/17/05 Tue

Torn hopelessly between not wanting to disobey his orders to not disturb people and not wanting to disappoint his newfound ally, Tathan blinked at Nerilki�s suggestion. Sit down next to her? How could he? It wasn�t allowed! He was just an ignorant child � that had always been made very clear to him since his infancy. Where he came from there were two types of people. There were those who led others, who were in charge, and there were those who followed them, and did what they were told. Tath had always been very firmly in the latter class. Was he now expected to sit down with a greenrider like she was an equal, and talk to her?

It was Knightess who changed his mind. The fire-lizard�s head rubbing against his cheek made him � even though for all he knew she could just be trying to scratch an itch on her nose � obey Nerilki and sit down in the chair opposite her. He perched on the edge of it, ready to bolt if this turned out to be some kind of trap. But the greenrider seemed so at ease that he didn�t immediately run � he wouldn�t even have sat down if she hadn�t looked relaxed. Relaxed people didn�t hurt you.

But Nerilki�s next question did make him suspicious. What did she want to know about him for? Guardedly, he answered her � his hands untangling the pile of wool on his lap. �Well m- Nerilki, there�s not much to tell. I was holdless, now I�m not.�
