Spotting the green rider across the weyrbowl, V'con waved. "Hey! over here!"
he called.

Ch'din stopped in his tracks as he heard the voice that used to make
his skin crawl. Taking a deep breath, he smiled and waved at V'con.
They had said they would try to be friends, after all.

"How have you been?" V'con asked, somewhat awkwardly.

"Fine...fine..." Oh shards, did he_have_to wear that silly yellow
tunic all the bloody time? And in public? And whilst talking to him?
Forcing a smile, Ch'din added, "and you?"

"I've been making a new tunic." V'con straightened it out. "Do you like it?"

"I...erm...." He could feel his face go beet red as he imagined
people turning to stare at V'con. What should he do? Lie? Be
honest? The only noise that came out sounded like a dragonet
chocking.

"Be honest."

Blushing, Ch'din shook his head no. "It's not my style...?" What
else could he say?

"Does it suit me though?"

It'd suit him if he was the jerk he had been...but Ch'din_did_agree to
get along, so... "Erm...sort of..."

"You don't think it's quite right?" V'con pulled it out straight again. "Oh,
I see you're right, that hem is a little crooked and could be shaped a
little better."

"Yeah..." Ch'din laughed and shrugged his shoulders, hoping V'con
didn't notice his face going redder and redder.

"Do you need a new tunic?" offered V'con. "I could make you one, and I'm
sure it would be a very enjoyable process to take your measurements."

"Uh...." Ch'din's face was so red he feared he might just pass out at
any moment. "Uh...that's okay. I quite like more...neutral colours."

"I have some lovely new material, it's dyed a pale blue, do you think that
would suit?"

"Erm....do you have anything in...a darker colour maybe?"

V'con thought for a moment. "There's a slatey grey colour?"

"That might work," Ch'din said in a meek voice.

"My work room is this way," V'con gestured for Ch'din to follow him.
