"Okay, I've got to ask it." B'lamick set down his mug of klah and looked at his friend squarely in the eye. "I told my self I wasn't going to ask it, but I can't stand it anymore.... Are you and Honalyse together?"

I'poro gave B'lamick a look that gave B'lamick all the answer he needed. "One, _none_ of us are aloud relationships. And two, do I look like I'm with Honalyse?"

B'lamick stuck his tongue out at the bluerider, "You know what I mean, you know, emotionally. Were you with her before we impressed?"

"Nope. I've never been with a girl 'Mick. I never got the chance before I came to the weyr and learned that what I was wasn't wrong." He grinned at his best friend. "But I'm not with Honalyse. Nor any other girl. I found my man." He winked, knowing that his feelings for men was still a touchy topic with his friend.

He really didn't want to know about Io being with another man, but the knowledge that he wasn't with Honalyse did bring a small smile to his face. Then he remembered his conversation with Honalyse about I'poro. "Just a... just how blue are you?" he asked awkwardly, "I mean, do you like _any_ girls?"

"Of course I like girls. I think they can be a delight to talk to and so much fun to hang out with." When he saw B'lamick's face he frowned. "But I'd never sleep with one or anything. Why," it was then that it all became clear to I'poro. "You want Honalyse. And she won't look at anyone else because she's looking at me. You want me to talk to her?"

"Shards no!" B'lamick exclaimed a bit too loudly. "I mean, no. I think she does have a bit of a hang up on you though. But it's not like we can do anything anyway. It's just when I'm trying to talk to her and spend time with her, all she wants to do is talk about you!" "Well then I might just have to have a chat with her."
I'poro put his hands up in a placating gesture when he saw his friends expression. "I won't talk about you I promise. I might just make mention of all the lovely men available here at the weyr." He grinned at the excuse to boy watch. "Honalyse gets all sad and runs to your big shoulder for comfort." I'poro walked around his friend, trailing a finger along B'lamick's big shoulder. "You both agree on how big a jerk I am and everyone's happy." I'poro grinned at his own mischievousness.

B'lamick pushed the finger way in mock disgust and grinned. "As long as you don't talk about how _I'm_
one of the lovely men, then I guess I like your plan... especially the comforting arm part." I'poro gave a fake pout. "Well my plan will need some rearranging..." He waved his eyebrows. "But I'm sure I can get over you." I'poro went back to his klah and sat. "I'll put our plan into action as soon as I see Honalyse next. So be ready with a clean tunic for when you're done."

He was glad I'poro was just joking, because if he actually thought his best friend had romantic feelings for him... he stopped thinking about it, it was too weird! "Don't worry, I've been ready for months!"
