When D'hys counted himself as unsavory company X'siar couldn't help but huff a little, partly annoyed that he hadn't gotten to say it himself, but pleased that at least the bluerider knew. He smirked a little and shook his head. "I've been a bit busy trying to do what I can and help with the new Weyrs to get that much company, unsavory or otherwise. But it's been nice to see the other Weyrs a bit more in person at least."
Mostly he'd been to High Reaches, but there had been the occasional run to Igen to check on things, or to a nearby Hold to hand someone a letter in person. And while Solenath couldn't carry anything with her front claws very well, she could carry a good sized load if it was attached well enough to her straps. Not that he could do much loading on his own most of the time with his arm, but he was good at making sure things were secure and tied on well at least if he had help.
And speaking of that arm he couldn't help but sigh a little, putting on a bigger show of annoyance than he felt as D'hys called it out. X'siar blinked as he took the little ball with his right hand out of habit, tilting his hand as he listened to the bluerider explain it. "Oh, that could actually be nice," he softly said to himself as he transferred the ball carefully to his left hand and stared at it while he focused on manipulating it with his fingers. It wasn't a particularly strenuous exercise but it felt like something that would help, especially on bad days when he couldn't trust himself with using a heavier weight.
"I do still try to exercise it regularly... and on good days I can even lift the same amount of weight as I can with my right, just not for as long. Just been having a few annoyances lately." Like when a brownrider came over and it got awkwardly pinned beneath him because he couldn't move it in time. Without any objection X'siar kept fiddling with the ball as he used his right hand to pull his shirt up and over his head before moving it down around his left arm to fully clear it.
The mention of said brownrider made him raise gaze to D'hys and lift an eyebrow though, his hand dropping the ball for a moment. He carefully picked it back up from the bed to move to his pocket for now. "A fine line huh? And you're just bossing around brownriders now?"
