So much for his hopes that there wasn't going to be a participation element of the class - it was now looking like there was going to be homework set. And a very different type of homework from anything ever set by Harpers back home!
Although the idea of getting to know some of the other candidates a bit better was definitely good, especially if they were going to be working together as weyrlings at some point, there were a couple that he would be happy to avoid. Kerrin he had never had chores with, but from this class he seemed a bit confrontational and not someone he particularly wanted to be having an in-depth conversation with.
Looking around, and happy to be sitting at the back so he wouldn't need to meet anyone's eye, he started thinking about the boys of the class. There wouldn't be much 'experimenting' with girls, after all. Jek wasn't exactly an expert, but he had enough experience to know what happened and how it all worked, and it was very nice.
It was all a bit strange though, thinking 'that way' about men. In a flight situation, he could see how the dragons might override the human's instincts, but without a dragon, how did you even start getting into that feeling? And what exactly did you do? He'd heard some crude jokes back at the hold but they sounded pretty unlikely and even downright painful, and he'd always thought they were just meant to put youngsters off relationships that couldn't end up with babies to extend the hold.
Perhaps it would start with kissing, the same way as with girls. Looking at B'jin, he could almost imagine that, but then where would you put your hands? Jek didn't realise how hard he was staring at the greenriders mouth and body, and, lost in his private musings, missed some of the comments following Valerian's suggestion.
