"I'm not fighting," V'lorn said grinning up at J'mar, letting his hand slip under the sheet. "J'mar is more than welcome to watch. Or join in if he chooses. See, I have no hard feelings."

If J'mar's looks could kill there would have been minute pieces of V'lorn splattered all over the walls. "Get your hands off of her. You took advantage of her!"

"On the contrary," the other bluerider said with mock pained surprise in his voice, "_she_ took advantage of _me_."

"Oh, please..." Nistaja stuck her head out from under the covers, rolling her eyes. "No one took advantage of anyone, and your yelling is giving me a headache!" She kicked V'lorn's hand away from her, telling herself sternly that she would _not_ consider the advantages of trying to get them both to stay... _Obviously_ she was still drunk to even be considering it.

V'lorn leaned back against the pillows, casually curling his arms behind his head. It was obvious he wasn't going to get anywhere with her as long as J'mar was in the room. "You know, it might be better if the both of you talked this out later when you're calmer, J'mar, and after she's sobered up a bit."

Ignoring the wherry's ass completely J'mar looked at Nistaja almost pleadingly. "Will you just get that tunnel snake out of your bed so we can talk about this?"

The look in his eyes won Nistaja over. "Thank you for the delightful evening, V'lorn, but perhaps it's time you were on your way. J'mar and I have to talk."

"Well, J'mar, did you leave someone in _your_ bed I can jump in with since you seem to be so rudely stealing my company for the morning?"
V'lorn asked with a sweet smile. He knew J'mar probably hadn't gone home alone...

"No, I didn't if its all the same to you," the bluerider snapped back.

"Ah, went back to their room, did you? Boy or girl?" J'mar stole one form of entertainment for the morning, V'lorn would find another, and provoking a man he hated was rather satisfying in its own way.

"That's none of your business." He couldn't quite raise his eyes to meet Nistaja's as it was all but an admission that he had spent the night in another's weyr. As if his wearing the same clothes hadn't been indication enough.

Nistaja was regarding V'lorn with an amused look. "Do you _seriously_
think I'm going to get annoyed with him for sleeping somewhere else when you're _naked_ in my _bed_?" Rolling her eyes again, Nistaja jerked on the covers and curled up on her side. "I don't think this is about me, anyway. Why don't you two just go at it, and get it over with? I'll go back to sleep." "Oh, I don't think you'll be annoyed. Not after the night you had. But you should see the guilt written on J'mar's face. It's priceless." Why would V'lorn care what she felt when he couldn't even remember her _name_? Since she obviously wasn't going to put out anymore, this was now all about hurting J'mar, and it was working even more beautifully than he could ever have hoped. "So, how about it, J'mar? You wanna go at it? I am already naked after all." The bluerider clenched his fists, his jaw, every muscle in his body wishing he could just lunge over the bed and rip that saucy grin right off of the man's face. "We can discuss this later, Nistaja. You obviously made your choice of how you want to spend Turn's End. I certainly don't want to ruin your Turn Beginning plans too." Before V'lorn could make another comment and he really _did_ lose control, J'mar stormed out of her sleeping room.

Nistaja sighed and pulled the covers up under her chin, her eyes drifting shut. "I'm sure that was more fun for you than whatever you were planning to do with me, so can I go back to sleep now?" She was going to need the rest to deal with J'mar later, after all. And V'lorn's charms had somewhat worn off once he'd started talking.

But the bluerider couldn't help it. He leaned over and whispered, lips brushing against her ear as his hands slipped once more under the sheet, "So... what are your Turn Beginning Plans?"

With another sigh, Nistaja rolled back onto her back and studied him through narrowed eyes. Considering how long it was going to be before J'mar forgave her, she might as well make the best of it. "I suppose I'm going to let you have your terrible way with me, and hope you sneak out while I'm still sleeping." "Well, I'm pretty sure after last night I have only one left in me. And then, yes, I'll sneak away while you're sleeping." After all, there wouldn't be much point staying anymore.
