"Now where did..." T'bell looked upon the empty expanse of wall that, only a few moments ago, K'rel had been steadfastly holding up. He frowned and craned his neck to see if the brownrider instead had disappeared to the heights without him but with his height he couldn't see much over the heads of others. On the other hand, K'rel was tall enough he might spot him.
'Lili, can you ask Siventh where his rider has gotten to?' T'bell sent with a mild amount of concern and leaned against the wall to take K'rels place, lest it should fall.
I ask. She sent to him, sleep tinging her mental voice, and relayed the question to Siventh.

Siventh, in turn, relayed the question to his rider, who nearly tripped over himself as the dragon's voice interrupted his thoughts. 'Tell T'bell I will be with him shortly,' he sent in reply, meanwhile forcing an apologetic smile for his dance partner.
However, he was hiding nothing from the brown, who snorted his response directly to T'bell. He is dancing! And not willingly, at that! Clearly the brown found this hystarical.

T'bell blinked at the unfamiliar voice but smiled, then frowned, then smiled again and sent his thanks back to Siventh, tinged with amusement.
He crossed his arms as he waited paitiently, trying to get a decent look at K'rel and the unfortunate partner and briefly considered saving him...only briefly.
Well maybe if he was kept too much longer.

The song soon ended, and K'rel excused himself as quickly as politeness dictated to scoot back towards his spot on the wall. However, he paused when he saw T'bell waiting, and simply waved a hand towards the doorway before starting that way through the crowd himself. Once he had escaped the muggy room, he stepped to the side to await T'bell's arrival, nodding politely in greeting to any who passed in or out.

"I leave, for one moment..." He huffed in an exasperated tone and stuck up his nose as he passed the brownrider in the hall. Quite a good imitation of 'acting the green' it was, and he tried hard to hide his smile. Perhaps he'd get him stuttering, with the wine and the women.

And for a moment K'rel did look quite baffled at the greenrider's behavior, but only a moment. Hiding a grin of his own, he hurried to catch up with T'bell, looping an arm around his shoulders without so much as a by-your-leave. "Do I sense jealousy, little green?"

T'bell nearly stumbled but managed to get his feet back. "Jealousy? Ha! All a ruse to get me away. You've been making eyes at-" Well was his partner male or female...shells, he hadn't seen, "them all night!"

"Them!" K'rel laughed, shaking his head. "Multiple partners, have I? My apologies. I've been trying to keep it a secret, but the wine..." He made a face at the glass, but took a sip nonetheless. "And why, if I was trying to get you away, am I with you and not them now?"

"I haven't thought that far ahead." He mumbled, dropping the act for a moment before he picked it up once more, "Well I suppose that's because you were caught. You're trying to smooth things over now, aren't you?" He snorted, he couldn't imagine K'rel to pull the charming and suave easy dragonrider to his petty Hold girl.

K'rel stiffled a snicker as T'bell's act faltered, and was thankful for it when the greenrider picked up his part again. "Am I? Very well." Charming and suave he may not be, but he could play along if he had to. Which he did, freeing his arm from the greenrider's shoulders in order to take T'bell's hand instead, his wineglass held carefully in the other as he stepped around infront of the younger rider to offer a half bow, surprisingly serious after all of the joking and wine. "I am terribly sorry that I've upset you, T'bell, and I assure you it will not happen again."

You have trained him. Liliath was amused as ever, seeing it from her Impresseds' eyes, then quickly sent to Siventh quite giddy, You must do this! He treats Mine like a queen.
T'bell blushed and managed not too laugh outright at Liliath's comment. He was quiet for a moment, then when his next action came to him, dropped a long-suffering sigh. "Dragonriders. See to it that it doesn't." His eyes flicked to the wineskin over his own shoulder, "I have something that you want, and if you misbehave I won't be so quick to offer it."

I treat you like a queen, Siventh replied imperiously, sniffing. And my rider is only playacting. I think.
The pause did not go unnoticed, nor did the blush, but K'rel did not speak on either and merely nodded his head in reply to T'bell's 'instructions'. What followed could have very easily been misinterpretted, and K'rel very nearly laughed aloud, but managed to choke back his laughter as his eyes followed T'bell's to the wineskin. His eyes traveled from his mostly-full glass to the skin and back, then, looking horrified, he straightened up. "That is my property, thief."

T'bell snorted, "Or you were simply too drunk to remember when you handed it over. Willingly." He walked past the brownrider and dangled the food. "I actually brought you something so you wouldn't be drinking anymore on an empty stomach...you lush."
You do not bow. Can you bow? Liliath nearly giggled, except she was a very dignified dragon and dragons don't giggle. He is very amused.

"I ate a pastry earlier," K'rel argued sulkily, but rescued the food and helped himself to another of the pastries. He was hungry, now that food was presented to him. He forgot to eat a bit more often than was probably healthy, but he made of for it when he did remember that food was important.
I could bow. Siventh straightened up, as if intending to do just that, then apparently decided better of it and sunk down on his haunches once more. But there is not the space here.

"Lush." T'bell said pointedly. "It's no wonder you always let me in, you never eat and I always come bearing food." He turned at one of the steps that would eventually lead to the heights. "Think you can manage the stairs and the food and the alcohol all at once?"
Liliath coo'd at him for his efforts. When there is more space.
