| He'd made some excuse to go right to his weyr after they'd left that bar. The knuckles of his right hand were burning; he could feel the sting across the top of them. Tsanth was relaxed, idling out on their ledge to watch the snow drift down into the bowl. He wished he could feel that level of calm, but instead his insides were tight, coiled and filled with nerves. Someone needs to take action. Someone needs to actually do something. Is that so hard to believe? After all... isn't that what you are doing?" It was the expression on S'varis' face, the way he'd say it, the way it had rang true in more ways than just the literal. That flush of hot creeping shame inched its way back to him again, bringing a touch of color to his face. He pulled a bottle down from one of the shelves and unscrewed the cap. He'd hit him because he didn't like what he'd heard, because it wasn't going the way he'd expected it to. Because he didn't want to be like the Wingsecond. The bronze was there then, always there really, but this time gently pulling Z'ian into the damp, cool sands of his mind with him. « I do not think that you are like him. » « I am. We are. Every one of us. We've become so submerged in our own ideas that we're all going to drown in them together. » He tipped the mouth of the bottle to his lips. « No. » Denial. « Yes. » More firmly. « I'd like to think I'm better than S'varis, but I'm not. Neither is K'del. We've all just been blind to the kind of damage we're helping cause. Thinking we were being loyal to 'Reaches. But maybe it's just ourselves. » « But you are not blind. He could not see, but you can. So you are not like him. » There was some small consolation in that, perhaps. He took the bottle and slipped onto the edge with his lifemate, sinking down against his warm side and stretching his legs out on the cold stone. It might feel better to just stop for a few minutes. |

So conflicted! Getting a good look at the far extreme of his position with K'del. Good to see inside Z'ian's head! ^^
