Going into their conversation, S'kef was riled up and ready to fight. Now, as he watched his sweet greenrider's tensions melt and his anger fade, S'kef found very little to fight against. He frowned, tightening his grip on the greenrider as he tried to understand what had just been said to him. Had J'ver actually let go of whatever it was he wanted to say? That was very unlike him, so much that it was worrisome. As aggravated as S'kef had been only moments before, he suddenly felt as if he'd made a mistake.
"Jai," he said, angling himself towards the man and lifting his chin lightly. "...Go on and say what you were going to say. I'm not stupid, you know..." he murmured, unable to summon the angry tone that normally would have accompanied those words. He was caught somewhere between softness and confusion. He frowned once more, a troubled look coming across his face as he realized, albeit a bit too late, the extent of the damage he'd caused.
"...I didn't mean to embarrass you," he said, returning to words he'd ignored only a minute before, as if he'd only just noticed them. "I didn't...." How did he say what he was trying to say? How did he explain not realizing how important the distinction of being mated was to J'ver? The brownrider sighed, suddenly stressed by his own inability to express himself. Of course, her quickly became frustrated.
"I...." he said again. He fidgeted.
As usual, it was Tyrrisath who rescued him. I don't want to the dragon said bluntly. S'kef was initially confused. Don't want to what? he grumbled, as he couldn't even remember what he'd said to provoke comment.
I'm not talking to you Tyrrisath added, almost disgusted. S'kef raised a brow as he realized that while he'd heard the words as well, they'd been aimed at J'ver.
S'kef looked to the greenrider, eyes widening just a bit a Tyrrisath made a second comment. I will not chase other greens he promised. He didn't bother explaining his reasons, that Larrikith was disgusting and he would rather be celibate than upset his poor Rila again. J'ver shouldn't need a weepy explanation when simple facts would do, but S'kef could still sense those insecure emotions. He let out the smallest laugh.
"...Jai. I do believe he's been whipped," he said snidely, earning a bit of a grumpy muttering from Tyrrisath. As always, though, the dragon was mrore than willing to sacrifice his own happiness for S'kef's, and with this gorgeous green beside him, he hardly felt like he was making a sacrifice at all.
S'kef used the small break in tension to gather his thoughts. "...Jai, seriously. I didn't mean to embarrass you, and....if you want to be proper mates, and for me to stay out of greenflights....I will," he said, turning awkwardly to the greenrider. He was unable to hide the softness in his eyes, no matter how hard he tried to look stoic. "...That was stupid of me, but I'm serious when I tell you that B'jin doesn't mean anything to me anymore. I realize that especially now."
He turned around and suddenly snatched J'ver close. "I love you. I'm sorry."
"Jai," he said, angling himself towards the man and lifting his chin lightly. "...Go on and say what you were going to say. I'm not stupid, you know..." he murmured, unable to summon the angry tone that normally would have accompanied those words. He was caught somewhere between softness and confusion.
