| Edyis snuggled down into the jacket and sweater, leaning against the brown sun warmed hide of her lifemate. She didn't want to be in the barracks, didn't want to be around most of the weyrling staff. She just wanted to be left alone. « So you got into trouble. Again. » Edyis snorted as for the hundredth time Akluseth pointed out the obvious. "I am an insufferable know-it-all, I'm always in trouble." She returned with irritation, even as she leaned against the warm hide. "Even when I do exactly as told I am wrong. So what point is there in trying to be anything other than what she expects." « So you just want to win in a battle of who is more stubborn? » "No. It isn't about winning; it is about her failure to understand." Growing more irritated, with her lifemate. "Her example is riddled with flaws, and she's a dismissive uncaring bitch. Why would I talk to her or trust her with anything, when she has made it clear from day one she isn't going to respect anything other than her opinions. She only gives lipservice to keep her precious stupid job. If Niahvth rose before Roszydth, she'd loose her little mind." « So... it's about whose right, and whose wrong? Or is this like Yesia? » "No." Edyis answers frustrated with his inability to comprehend the problem. "Yesia chose to be a bitch, so she got treated like one." Silence, then. Rare from the brown but it gave Edyis a chance to close her eyes and replay the conversations. Memory was easier now that Akluseth was older, knew better than to distract her when she was trying to focus on something important. "I won't put my faith in someone who doesn't care. Who can't admit being wrong." « Ever think maybe you and Olveraeth's are just too much alike ever to get along. » The brown's words were met with a backlash of fury and indignation. "We are not the same Akluseth. We could not be more different. " « I'm not so sure on that. You both have more pride than is good for you, you both take pride in the things you do, you both care about the Weyr. You both can barely hide your disdain for one another... » The thump to his flank stops the comparisons. « You have similar faults. » "We are not alike," Edyis repeats adamantly. "I know I was wrong, know why K'del got angry with me, though it took Alida explaining it so that it made sense." She fumes, Alida, someone who listens and isn't dismissive, and genuinely gives a damn, is the unspoken point. "Quinlys wouldn't admit being wrong unless she thought it would cost her something she cared about more than her self-righteous agenda." « So, have you admitted to the weyrleader that you were wrong, and you know, apologized? » "K'd- the Weyrleader, doesn't have time to waste on weyrlings." The person she remembered from the records room was now her boss. She couldn't approach him as she would a friend anymore, regardless of what the man said on the matter. She had to remember her place. It hurt, but this was the life she had now. Being nothing all over again. She pushed away that thought before it could do any damage. « Then how are you any different than Olveraeth's? Write a note then, surely that wouldn't be too much of an imposition. » Grudgingly, she started to say something else. It was only an excuse in her ears though, so she pulled out her notebook and began writing, leaving Akluseth to wonder how he had finally managed to win an argument with her. He also knew it cost her something. |
