He laughed rather loudly, slightly embarrassed - only slightly, because she'd outplayed him.
"Ha! No, no, that's not it... It's okay if you impress, you'd be a gold rider, and highly coveted by every dog on heat - sorry, I mean bronze rider." He laughed and paused getting a bit antsy with himself at his own awkwardness, "But... for me ..." He drained out a little, "Well if I don't impress a Bronze... I've got the options of guys... guys... or ... guys." He shuddered at the thought.
"I can deal with men in a friendship, I'm quite contented dealing with sex... But sex, with a guy, is something I don't want to experience thank you!" He laughed, yes a little nervous, but who wouldn't be! If he impressed, depending on what he impressed depended on what gender he'd end up sleeping with, and heaven forbid he'd impress a green. Those things rose five to the half dozen! He'd end up walking iwth a rather distasteful limp for the rest of his life. "I don't really want to walk with a limp for the rest of my days..." He pondered.
"Maybe I won't stand..." He laughed, it was a solution after all!!

Salina watched the outburst, more than slightly amused at this. Ez was acting hilariously. Was he really so concerned about that? Well...She supposed it was something to be concerned about if you were a man, and not really quite that interested in other men, but was it something to panic about?
"Well. I wouldn't worry about it because worrying about it gets you nowhere, wouldn't you agree?" She chuckled and shrugged. "And after all...it is just a roll and you're done. Nothing to be too concerned about, though you do seem to be concerned about it quite a bit." She started a little at his last statement and shook her head from side to side almost violently. "Oh no, no, no. You've got to stand."

He laughed again "It might just be sex to you, but... come off it... so you're telling me by some freak accident you impress a gold, and a girl impresses a bronze - yours and her dragons get on astonishingly well - you'd take that just dandy? Well I suppose its different for girls, I mean there's nothing to... well too intrusive. I'm sorry Sassie, my lovely - But guys don't do it for me." He laughed, pretty impressed with his new nickname for her. "Yeah I guess there's that to it, atleast it wouldn't be my first time," His mind ticked, and it dawned on him, "Damn, what about the poor fellers who do it that way for the first time - and ... aren't ... poor poor blokes.." He shook his head.
He smirked at her reaction to his suggestion of not standing, "Don't worry Sassie, I'll stand. I'll be there, and I'll watch you impress that gleaming great queen of yours." He laughed. "Who knows," He shrugged, "I know theres no place for worry, it's not something I'm terribly good at, but I do worry for my posture if I become a green rider." He smirked, hoping to amuse her again.

Salina snickered, eyes a misty gray with her amusement. "Oh, it's not intrusive is it, so it can't be that bad?" Head shook once more, glows gleaming lightly within her golden hair, catching out bits of red and making them gleam, making her look almost a different woman. "I haven't really to worry about it though because girls do not impress bronzes."
Lips curved into a smile at this new nickname he pressed upon her. She liked it and was surprised by the fact. "That would be a sad day indeed. Could you imagine-! If you were a boy and you'd lusted after girls all your life but never had the courage and then...BAM! and it's gone and by someone completely the opposite?"
Her eyes were just the slightest bit sad, though they seemed to smolder with hope as she leaned over to cup his cheek in her hand, needing the close proximity as she met his eyes. "Thank you, Cutie. I really do hope you're right." She gave his cheek a squeeze, retaining her former position as her smile reared into existence. "Especially as I'd rather not seeing you limp about! I'd only have to mock you, you know."

He snickered, she certainly was an amusing girl, "No, it is not something you have to worry about, but I do feel sorry for any man who impresses a green when fresh themselves, it must be a chore." He didn't really want to think the topic over much more than that, he didn't want to be a green rider, he really didn't the whole guy... thing just didn't bare thinking about from that angle, the other he could possibly cope with... at a stretch.* "I do not envy them." He shook his head, clarifying.
He smiled, as she cupped his cheek "I hope I'm right! and I'd appreciate not being coddled like a five year old thanks. Cutie, pah." He smirked, "I've got a lot of things a five year old doesn't, and I don't think I've got to prove it to you now do I?" He smirked.
"Yes, I daresay you would mock me, rather heavily. Though you do realise, if you end up with some Thug of a Bronze rider, I'll mock you equally right?" He smirked, cheeky grin broadening from it. "C'mo'ff it Sassie, it's not that funny."

She laughed as his continued rambling on about how unfortunate it would be and then scowled at him, face scrunched up as she poked him in the chest with mock anger. "If I say you're cute, you're cute and no, I do not think I'd like seeing you prove to me you are not five turns. However..." Head tilted as she considered, eyes raking over his face. "I have a few other names I could call you. But I like Cutie."
"Yes, I will be equally mocked." She snickered and then shrugged. "Hey, it's funny, Cutie, and you know it. Just think of a man who was so utterly repugnant of the idea-and then he's stuck with it for his life! Yes, it'd be funny indeed. At least you can trade weyrmates." She winked, feeling much more at ease now. Her new friend was a comfort, for sure.

He laughed indignantly as the tables turned on him, "They cant be as bad as scutie, and I'm not denying I am, I know I am, however, I don't appreciate from a girl who's, what, two turns my junior?" He smirked. He rubbed his chest where she had poked him, "Easy on the goods..."
"Trade! Hah!" Rich that one, "Trade weyrmates, who says I won't imprerss a bronze eh? You never know!" He said, grinning, he was almost certain he wouldn't, he wasn't a bronzer. He'd never fit in against their ranks. "You To could trade weyrmates! Quite frequently if you were a gold rider! I mean the weyrwoman done it recently! Traded him in for a younger model now didn't she?" He smirked, laughing rather rbemused at the harmless jubes he was poking at her.

"I may be two turns your junior but up here," she tapped at her forehead, "I've got you by quite a few there, my good man. And if I'm Sassie, you're Cutie." She flashed him an impish little smile.
"Well, we don't actually know and we don't know that I'll even Impress at all, but it's much funnier imagining you as green, so green you shall be. Ha! We'll change it to Greenie, then, does that suite?" She paused as he spoke of their weyrleaders and then nodded. "Yes, that'd be true, wouldn't it? And it'd be so odd if I did Impress," she rapped on the wooden table lightly, "and I got some old man as weyrmate, wouldn't you think?"

He chuckled, "Yes, an old rider for a young girl with an old mind" he mocked, "And no, not greenie either, I highly doubt I'd impress a green, I might be skittish or flighty - but I'm not that bad." He said, a smirk lining his features, "And anyway, just because I might act a little less mature than m age, doesn't mean you can out smart me Sassie.. I'm pretty well taught you know, I may not quite come across like it, but I am." He assured her.
"Back to old men weeyrmates, I thihnk it would be even more obscure if I did impress a green then I got some old fogey as a weyrmate." He laughed, he found the prospect incredibly scary, but it was such an unlikely situation he felt quite happy to laught about it.
He pondered for a moment, "Ah but if you did impress a gold, would you strive to become weyrwoman?" He asked, not that he seen it as a possibility, for they had Aderes! However, it was ajust one of those questions you posed to a friend for no real reason.

She sighed as if discouraged, head hanging low and shaking as she shrugged, hands spreading in a gesture that completely communicated what do you want me to do? "Well, Cutie it is then since you do not like Greenie either." She smirked, ignoring the well-taught comment-she'd been taught as well-and laughed.
"An old greenrider for the homophobic Ezieki. Oh, what delicious fun that would be. Absolutely delicious." She paused at the next question he put forward, considering it. She shrugged once more, dubious doubt in her eyes. "No, I don't think so. Aderes is a good weyrwoman and after all, she would be senior weyrwoman then. No...I don't think so. If you ever impressed bronze, would you want to be weyrleader?" she shot back.

He sniggered, "homphobic? No, not at all, I'm liberal, I appreciate things that look good, just most guys I've ever met don't, unfortunately!" He laughed, he knew after saying that that it would undoubtedly give her a rising point for him.
"Aderes? No no no no - She's okay as sfar as I know, but I'm not talking about that - ignore Aderes and how good she is or isn't, would you want to be Weyrwoman, senior Weyrwoman." He gave her no option for escaping this time, "Weyrleader? Hell no, too much responsibility, to much to do, I don't want that, a basic brown, or blue, so I get tied to stuff, but not overly important, thats what I'd like. I couldn't deal with a huge amount of responsibility. " He shook his head. "I'd be no good with power." He laughed again, though this time it was a little shallower, he never liked to admit his faults.
"But I guess," He continued, "If I did impress a bronze, and I was given power anyhow. I guess I'd try and go the whole way." He shrugged.
"Just call me something regular ish will you? Ezi? Perhaps? Something a bit less... childish." He smirked, knowing he was almost asking the impossible.

Eyes rolled. "Uh-huh, I'm so sure. That's why you were nearly panicking." She considered him for a moment though. Hmm. Maybe he was being honest-she really didn't know. She listened to his slight rant and nodded. Before she shook her head, wicked smile painted across her face.
"Hey, I like my names. I could call you Ez though...Or Lightning. You're very rambley and entergetic, did you know? And as for your question...I guess I would. I wouldn't want everything going to shambles and I'd try and pull it together...And I'd have help from some people. Mmm, I don't know. Tough question."

He smirked, "Well, lightings a little cooler - atleast its not spa-" He paused realisingas soon as he would say it, that would be the nickname that stuck, so he shut up. "I know I think it's because I'm exhausted, its my 'dying swan act'" He laughed, "Soon I'll just fall asleep where I stand." He smirked,
"You're too level headed to need many, besides, you know I'd always help, impressed unimpressed, brown rider, bronze, or green with a really old weyrmate." He laughed, "I'd always be willing to help you Sassie." He said as he casually looped an arm over her rslight shoulders, he felt like such a giant in compairson to her. So large.

She smirked as he abruptly shut up and then was piling on an excuse for his energy and ramblings. She didn't care. Salina liked him. That was all she needed to know and it was quite well enough for now.
"Really?" she smiled, considerably brightened by his reassurance. She laughed and poked a finger in his belly. "Well, impressed, unimpressed, brown, bronze or especially green with an ancient weyrmat, I'm glad for it, Spaz." She smirked and wrapped him in a brief hug. "Thanks."

He laughed indignantly - "Spaz! I was going to say sparky relating to the lighting comment silly Sassie."He caught her finger holding it where she was. He hugged her back, She felt really tiny in his arms, "Not a problem Sassie."
He felt it was a little odd how the pair had just bonded, remarkably quickly, as though they had known each other for turns and turns. "Come on then, if we'rer going to be this degree off close, you've got o tell me everything." He laughed, looking down at her from their embrace.
