"Okay, okay. Get yourself together, it wasn't _that_
funny." Ioporol waved a hand weakly at his friend across the table.
"Oh yes it was!" Belamick continued to chuckle, despite his side starting to hurt. "In fact, every time I think about it, it gets funnier and funnier!"
"Well you go on thinking that." Ioporol glanced around the Dining Cavern, and spotted in the back corner two riders, a blue and green by their knots, giggling and enjoying themselves. He watched as the greenrider led his friend away, in the direction of the door. "Aww, isn't that sweet?" Ioporol asked his friend.
Belamick started laughing again, "Oh yes, so sweet!" he replied sarcastically. "Honestly Io, I don't know if I'll _ever_ get used to seeing that." "What so wrong with it?" Ioporol asked his friend. "Their just in love."
He gave the couple one last look before they turned out of sight and shook his head. "I'm pretty sure _that_ isn't love, they probably just met!" Sometimes he was bothered by the amount of casual loving he saw at the Weyr, but he was trying to get used to it. "And even if it _is_ love, don't you just find it a bit strange?"
"No. Why, do you?" Ioporol's voice held a hint of ice to it. "Whats wrong with it?"
Belamick looked at his friend and softened his tone, realizing that Ioporol might have some greenrider friends in the Weyr. "Hey, I don't mean anything hateful by it, you know I'm not like that. You've just had a whole turn to get used to the idea, and I'm only a sevenday out of the Hall. I know it's normal around here... I guess I'm just going to have to get used to it."
"Yeah you probably will..." Ioporol sentence died as he looked down at his food. Belamick gave a little snort, "I guess the part I'm having the hardest time with is that if my dragon catches a male rider's green, then I'm going to have to do something I _know_ my father wouldn't approve of!"
"Well, I'm sure your father would understand if you explained the context." Ioporol told his friend. "Its not like you'll be able to stop your dragon or something."
He shrugged, "I guess. It's not something I'm looking particularly forward to either actually. I mean, I've never even been with a _girl_ for Faranth's sake!"
"Well maybe you'll have to fix that." Ioporol said casually, flicking his fork. "There _are_ ample women at the weyr."
Belamick's mind quickly flashed back to Honalyse and Tey, and he gave his friend a smile. "There are at that. But let's not worry about it now. Once we Impress, we won't be able to _kiss_ girls, much less do anything else." "Yeah. We'll just have to wait."
