Late Night Conversation...? ((K'ryn))

[FaizahPandora]

IC Date: Week of Sept. 16th, 2012
IC Time: 3:00 in the morning

[/u]

Faizah was searching through the kitchen, looking for a midnight snack. In her pocket was one of those little one way speaker things that people buy to listen to their baby without being in the room. Just in case Naktor started crying.

She grabbed a bag of chips and sat down, quietly munching on the chips. Naktor was finally just getting into a routine, and she was enjoying it. It meant she was able to sleep better. But she was wound tighter than a guiter string at the moment.

She sighed, looking around at nothing in particular. She was thinking too much, and about nothing at all. Her mind was simply racing. Faizah laid her chin on the table, looking forward, and sighed again.

"Blah..." She muttered to herself.

[yaoiwafflez]

See, he was always getting used to time changes. That was easy.

It was just that those were only an hour or two, and not at all nearly a full day like it was between Southern Boll and Earth's Rockies.

That just wanst fair.

But K'ryn was well enough nocturnal already, what with Synth's rather unpleasant reactions to the sun, and her photosensitive eyes even with the medication. So it wasn't so bad.

Braun was clinging to his shirt like a little pale leech, trying to stick a flower down his collar, and he was absently trying to pull the silly little whie off as best he could.
"Braun, you idiot." He muttered. "Stop that."

So, of course, shunned and heartbroken, the teeny flitter flung himself away and zipped off to the next warm body he could find. Which was, of course, the lady with the potatochips. He plopped the flower on her hand and cheeped.

K'ryn nearly 'awwed' when he saw who it was who was looking so dejected. "You look stressed, dear."

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah had closed her eyes, picking her head up off the table. But for some reason she did not jump when she felt something touch her hand and then cheeped. She opened her eyes, seeing Braun there with a pretty little flower. She smiled at Braun, picking up the flower and smelling it. It smelled fresh, and it was a very pretty flower.

"Thank you, Braun. It's wonderful." She muttered to the flit.

"You look stressed, dear."

She looked over to see K'ryn standing there. She smiled, but remained seated. "My mind is racing about nothing at all. It's silly, really." She said quietly.

Faizah pulled out a chair next to her. She patted the seat, inviting K'ryn to sit with her. At the same time she reached into the bag and then offered Braun a BBQ flavored potato chip. She was still smiling, and now that she wasn't alone, she couldn't imagine the smile going away. Lastly, she perched the wonderful flower behind her ear.

[yaoiwafflez]

Braun puffed out his tiny little chest and looked likeshe'd just given him a medal for saving the world. He happuly pranced around the table all regallike and gave K'ryn a very smug look when he finally settled down, grabbed the chip, and began munching it like a little mouse.

K'ryn just shook his head. "Glad you like it. I've got piles of them." He commented, but he was more than happy to sit with her. Faizah was always the kind of company he wanted to keep.

He rubbed her back comfortingly. "Silly, maybe, but no good. I don't want you to be stressed, I want you to be happy." He said. He snagged a chip Braun had spilled from the bag in his effort to aquire more of the delicious little potato-discs and munched on it thoughtfully, watching her. "You want to talk about it, or is it just one of those nights?"

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah nodded to K'ryn. "I love flowers." She answered simply, reaching up and touching the flower.

Faizah laughed slightly when K'ryn started talking again. He was rubbing her back, and it felt good. She hadn't had her back rubbed since she was a child. "I'm not stressed, K'ryn. Just usually, Naktor is still awake. Since he isn't, I'm at a loss of what to do." She said.

She grabbed another chip, munching on it silently. She offered K'ryn some out of the bag. Braun was having a hayday with the chips. "There's nothing really to talk about." She laughed slightly. "I'm simply a new mother who is on a different routine than her child." She finished.

[yaoiwafflez]

IK'ryn laughed, and nodded. "Well, they look good on you." he said, smiling at her with a look he didn;t even realize he was wearing: that sort of astonished, amazed expression he only seemed to get when he looked at her.

"Oh." Then ...okay. If it wasn;t stress then...he was just being an idiot. He kept rubbing her back, glad for the excuse to make her smile like that.

"So...you're feeling confused because...there..,isn[t a screaming baby here somewhere?' he said, giggling. "I don;t quite understand, but hey, i don;t have children. Maybe it's different?" He looked at her, taking in her expression, and remembering her with Naktor. "It must be."

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah laughed slightly, what she knew was a stupid goofy grin on her face. She tended to turn into a smiling idiot when around K'ryn, not that she minded. But she nodded at his question. "Yes, its different when you have kids. Especially the comflicting sleeping schedules." She laughed again.

She leaned against him slightly, laying her head on his shoulder. She was relaxed, she wasn't tired, and Naktor was sound asleep. This night couldn't have gotten better for Faizah. So she just continued to grin like a fool and scoot a little closer to K'ryn. She had missed the man, and this was the first time they had managed some time together without interruptions.

She was damned if she wasn't going to enjoy this!

[yaoiwafflez]

He just laughed. "I imagine it must be. I guess I never really thought about it."

She scooted closer to him and really nothing could have made him happier at that moment. He debated for a second, then wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her right up next to him. He made a hppy little noise, and kissed the side of her head, very quick. he wasn;t sure how he'd be recieved on that, but he was not going to pull his punches now.

Besides. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And he had a beautiful woman in his arms, one he'd been pining for for over a turn.

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah giggled slightly when K'ryn pulled her right up next to him. But she felt a little miffed when all she got from him was a quick peck of a kiss on the side of her head. She looked up at him, a small pouty frown on her face, before leaning up and pressing a small kiss to K'ryn's lips.

She leaned back again, watching him to see if she hadn't stepped over some line she didn't see. She was nervous, and a little embarrased by what she had done. Which was evident by the small rounds of red coloring her cheeks.

Faizah fidgeted slightly.

[yaoiwafflez]

The grin on his face clearly said no, no she hadn't stepped over any lines, and, in fact, here he was drawing that line a lot further back and inviting her to cross it. It was a very complicated smile.

He couldn't help but laugh at her, and the adorable way she blushed. So he kissed her back, properly this time, tilting her head back and tangling one hand in her hair.

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah sqeaked slightly in surprise as K'ryn kissed her back. A deep, wonderful kiss, her head tilted back and K'ryn's hand tangled in her hair. Then she moaned slightly, leaning in to deepen the kiss.

A moment later, though, she pulled away. She had the biggest and most stupid grin on her face. But damn it if she hadn't enjoyed that. And wanted more of it. But the dining hall was hardly the place to be doing it.

She looked at K'ryn, still smiling. "I'm sorry. Didn't you say you had something you wanted to talk about?" She asked, suddenly remembering what he had said only a few days ago.

[yaoiwafflez]

Well yes actually he HAD but she was being way too distracting. And when she pulled back all he could do was stare at her for a long moment and try to gather his thoughts.

And then he frowned. Oh. Yes.

"Well. Sort of." He waved his hand vaguely, gesturing to the both of them. "What...what's going on...with us? Are we...? Are we anything? Or do we just keep doing..." He leaned in slightly, hesitating a hairs breadth from her lips. "...this?"

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah listened carefully, and couldn't help the blush that reddened her cheeks. Not only from K'ryn being so close, but also from his question. How did she answer that? She did want a relationship with him, but what did K'ryn want? Not to mention, she had never been in a relationship before. What exactly did a relationship entail...?

Faizah smirked slightly at K'ryn, still blushing. "Do you want us to be more than... this?" She asked quietly, almost in a whisper. Her heart was beating madly and she couldn't stop blushing. But she wasn't nervous anymore.

"Because I would like us to be more." She finished, again in that breathy little whisper.

[yaoiwafflez]

K'ryn didn;t know whether to laugh, cry, or both. Mostly, he kind of felt like singing. (Harper training was hard to break. Also he was feeling suspiciously like the main character in a love ballad but hey.)

So he settled for griining, stumbling over all his words and ending by sweeping her into his arms and kissing her again. It seemed like the only logical response. Ah he was lying. Logic was out the window- this was pure glee.

"I haven't ever wanted anything more." He breathed, when he found the ability to speak again. "I...don't know how. I might mess it up. But I want to try. And if you do too... well." He hugged her close. He was grinning like an idiot but it didn't seem to matter. "Is there an Earth term for 'possible weyrmate'?"

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah laughed as K'ryn stumbled over his words, grinning like a fool as he swept her up and kissed her again. Faizah wrapped her arms around him, holding him just as he was holding her. She continued to smile as K'ryn spoke, finally finding his words.

When he was done, Faizah nodded. "I don't know anymore than you do, beloved, but I'm more than willing to try as well. As for an Earth term for "possible weyrmate", I don't know. But the term for "weyrmate" here is boyfriend or girlfriend." Faizah explained.

She leaned forward and kissed K'ryn's cheek, lightly. "Do you want to be my boyfriend, K'ryn?" She asked, smiling shyly.

[yaoiwafflez]

"I was trying not to be presumptuous." K'ryn said with an obviously joking air of haughtiness. "Pardon me if I want to be cautious." But then he was chuckling and just relishing the way she leaned into him. It just felt...right. Good. All of those really nice words he had no way to explain and that warm giddy feeling that made his head spin.

"Yes." He finally said. "Only if that means you're my girlfriend. Hmm." He smiled, and kissed her forehead. "I like saying that."

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah grinned broadly. "Caution is good. But I'm throwing caution to the wind tonight." She explained confidently.

She nodded at K'ryn's comment. "Of course that means I'm your girlfriend." She laughed slightly, feeling giddy and happy and so many more things. All good things, which were fueling her foolish grin.

Faizah hugged K'ryn once more, resting her head on his shoulder as she did so. It was an intoxicating feelings, that this man was hers. And that he actually wanted her. Faizah wasn't taking it for granted, that was for sure. With a happy sigh she whispered, "I'm so happy."

[yaoiwafflez]

K'ryn snorted. He was always the type to be kind of a dork, but he didn't care.
"Always best in my opinion. But I'm a greenrider. You know how we are, flightly, irresponsible, silly." He was grinning like a fool, now, trying to contain some of the ridicuouls bubbly feeling in his chest. Faizah wanted this. She wanted him. And, he was thrilled to find out, he wanted nothing more than her. She was beautiful, funny, smart, everything he could have wanted in a partner and had never even thought to look for.

She'd kind of snuck up on him.
He made a happy sigh, and kissed the top of her head, wrapping his arms around her securely. He really liked doing that, and he had a feeling he was going to do it a lot more. "You're so cute." He whispered. It wasn't quite a response, but hey. She really was. "Me too... hm." A thought occured to him, and he tried to hide a giggle.

"You know, I can think of a person or two who might have a problem with his..."

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah simply grinned at him, nodding her head in agreement. "I just hope you're not flighty with me." She said in a somewhat joking manner. But there was a bit of worry in the undertones. She had been left behind too often to not worry about it.

Faizah smiled once more when he called her cute. Usually she wouldn't like being called such a word, but it didn't bother her at that moment. She actually liked that K'ryn had called her cute. She just nodded, leaning up and pressing a small kiss to his lips.

"You know, I can think of a person or two who might have a problem with this..."

She looked up at K'ryn, arching a brow in confusion. "And who might that be?" She asked. She really didn't know who he was talking about. Well, except for K'vai. He seemed enarmored with K'ryn, despite K'ryn's dislike for him.

[yaoiwafflez]

K'ryn very deliberatley mistook her comment at first, pretending to think about it. "Flighty? I can;t promise that. I'm a greenrider, you know how we are. Greens are notoriously flighty. Synth is no different. But does that mean you're volunteering to be a flight option for me in her future flights?" He was joking. mostly. Not at all. He was actually rather serious. The issiue hadn;t come up until now besides a comment a turn or so back before he'd left, but now it seemed like a good thing to have to discuss.

Her kiss distracted him again, and he lost his train of thought. "Hmm? I meant mostly K'vai. But he's not really an issue to begin with, since he kind of annoys the shells off me anyway. I just mean...isn't there anyone who'd object to their weyrwoman with someone as 'lowly' as a greenrider? And you must have men who'd be displeased with my habits as well. Exes or something..." He thought about this, then smiled faintly. "I'll beat them up if you like."

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah cocked her head slightly in confusion. "A flight option? What do you mean?" She asked.

At the same time she was worried about what K'ryn had said. He had admitted to being a greenrider, and to being flighty. And he couldn't promise that he wouldn't be flighty with her. She was worried about it. It was likely that he was joking, but Faizah was taking him serious.

She was a serious person...

Faizah laughed slightly at K'ryn's last comment. She shook her head. "I don't have an exes at Rocky. Not that they would care much anyway." She explained. Then she turned her gaze back to K'ryn. "Most people here aren't happy that their Weyrwoman is a whiterider. I highly doubt they are concerned that my weyrmate is a greenrider." She said confidently.

[yaoiwafflez]

K'ryn seemed serious for a long moment, and his expression seemed between confused and worried. "I mean...uh." He cocked his head. "Hadn't you...oh. I guess...since you're not from Pern, and not a rider of a rising or chasing dragon...you might NOT know." He explained. "Its posible for riders to choose their mates before a flight, if they know it's coming...like I do with Synth. It's easy enough to lock a door and keep only your preferred partner with you, if you like. I mean, it can be a little unfair to the other winning rider, but they don;t have a hard time finding someone, same as the losing riders. I don't usually care but..." He smiled, brushing a finger along her cheek. "I do now. "

After that he flailed a hand in a dismissive gesture. "And forget them. If I get to be YOUR weyrmate I'll settle for any amount of scorn. And Synth can yell at them. She's surprisingly mean when she tries."

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah blushed slightly at K'ryn's explanation. She had never heard of that happening. But she could see why people would do that. It made flights a little easier.

Still blushing, she hung her head slightly, letting her hair fall down and hide her expression. She was very pleased that K'ryn had asked her that. After the explanation, she felt even more special. Still hiding her expression, because she could feel herself smiling like a fool, she nodded.

"Then yes, that means I'm volunteering to be a flight option." She answered.

She couldn't help but laugh at K'ryn's next words. She looked at him sheepishly. "You really don't care what the majority of the Weyr will say?" She asked hesitantly.

[yaoiwafflez]

K'ryn grinned like a huge ...grinning thing, and he thought he might just explode with happy. Instead he settled for tugging her in closer and laughing. "Good. I know that sounds silly, but... it's ... it means something to me." He can;t quite explain that he'd never asked anyone that sort of thing, ever, but it matters. To him, it's something vitally important.

And then she's laughing at him, and he snorts and rolls his eyes. "Faizah, dear, if I cared what anyone thought of me there would be a lot more fistfighting around here and I would have shoved K'vai off a cliff a long time ago." He gestures to himself, and to her. "I think the question is, do you?"

[FaizahPandora]

Faizah grinned. She was more than happy to be closer to K'ryn. "It means something to me, too." She whispered.

She couldn't help but laugh. There were days when she wanted to push K'vai off a cliff, too! And there were times when she wanted to punch a few people. Because they were simply unreasonable. And, let's face it, Lessa was at the top of Faizah's list. But she had to shake her head when K'ryn turned her question back on her.

"I don't care what they think. I just don't want there to be any trouble. Especially from K'vai." She said. She offered a small smile at the end, wanting K'ryn to know that she was joking.

Faizah suddenly didn't care, however. She got a devious glint in her emerald green eyes. She pulled away from K'ryn, but kept hold of his hand. She got to her feet, pulling him with her. "Come on, K'ryn. I think you know what I want." She said, giving him a wink.
