"That's good! I knew you'd take to them eventually," D'ren said in light teasing. He'd imagined B'jin would protest or even outright reject the job, but he also knew that B'jin was gentle at heart, if a little bit impatient on the surface sometimes. After seeing him take such good care of his own children and so sweetly adopt one of the boys he'd been forced to steal, it really left n doubt in the bronzerider's mind that B'jin was a born teacher. D'ren didn't think the Weyr could have happened upon a better weyrling master. He gave the greenrider a friendly wink in silent acknowledgement, then leaned back comfortably in his seat.
More company! The bronze's voice came so loudly and suddenly that D'ren hissed and set his jaw. "Ronarth..." he grunted. Outside, Ronarth bustled over to Shanith, Friendly in hot pursuit, and immediately began butting playfully at the green.
Before D'ren could ask who it was, the door opened and in came Ravana. 'Ah., hello," D'ren said pleasantly. He rather liked Ravana, though it was a shame that a woman such as her was bonded to a green. It must have been a terrible burden! He smiled at her and nodded politely, noting with some amusement that she'd brought Berani along as well. "Always pleasant to have more company. How are you today?"
It really was nice to have some company. Being old, sick and retired sucked when you had no one to distract you. Ronarth innocently reminded D'ren that he was not exactly old, and while D'ren didn't agree, he did smile. Ronarth sure helped him feel a little bit younger. So did his friends, even if the hectic nature of their lives kept them away much of the time. D'ren only needed a little bit of attention every now and again to remind him that he was loved.
