Fifty, and frisky [R'nd]

Too slow.

“For what?” R’nd was still confused as he stumbled out of his bedroom with a yawn after his dragon told him to get a move on as they had plans to attend to. He wouldn’t say what, which of course made for a curious bluerider but R’nd got out of bed and even tossed some clothes on all the same. He wasn’t sure what the dragon wanted but it seemed like new plans had been made for his morning. Originally R’nd had decided to curl up on his couch to read some of Valerian’s notes he had been taking since arriving at Katila as homework. The weyrling had agreed to help him improve his reading and writing skills in secret and didn’t even ask why it was desired though R’nd suspected the brat already knew. He wasn’t going to be an embarrassment to B’jin though! How could such a brilliant and established Harper be seen so regularly with a man that had proper schooling up to a certain age in between learning to bait hooks and be a carefree third child before spending turns in the middle of nowhere without touching a pen or paper? B’jin was proud and with every reason given the skills he could boast so it was a wonder he hadn’t kicked the pathetic bluerider aside a long time ago.

Besides, even the simple idea about studying that morning was a good way to keep his mind off of birthdays and the fact that he still wasn’t quite sure what to do for B’jin; aside from upping the reading skills but the greenrider still didn’t need to know about that. Since Amorandii had whispered in his ear about when her daddy’s birthday was, R’nd had been panicking that he wouldn’t be able to do anything special. He had been curious for so long about when the actual day was and wanted to celebrate! Now that he knew, R’nd also knew B’jin wouldn’t want a large party, they both knew R’nd cooking for a surprise would land them in Healing Hall’s beds instead of their own, and R’nd had no confidence in his artistic skills to make B’jin something. Even with that lack of confidence, R’nd finally did secure some paints and did exactly what B’jin said he should do when asked about what he would want as a drawing during one of their ‘what if’ games. B’jin had said he wouldn’t want anything in particular but something that was special to R’nd. It was horribly done but it was something at least. Still, he wanted to do more! B’jin deserved so much more!

R’nd peeked out the kitchen window and laughed when Ayyonth peered in from the other side. And wear something nice. No wait, don’t. What you have on is fine. Now he was extremely curious! R’nd didn’t put up a fight, especially not when he stopped for a moment to pay attention to the feelings rolling off his dragon. They were familiar and a brow quirked in question at the head still peering in at him. No further explanation was given but R’nd nodded and made his way outside. Boots were ignored since they wouldn’t be on for long anyway with the lust he felt from Ayyonth and his own building. It was obviously a flight that the blue wanted to enter but R’nd wasn’t sure who it was. They had cut back on their chasing significantly once a bond seemed to have formed between Larrikith and Ayyonth but the blue still had needs and he was allowed a random chance here and there, especially if Larrikith was flown by another; like Veeth, the annoying yet oh-so cute young blue.

“So who’s the lucky rider?” R’nd asked as they glided over the weyr from hut to wherever Ayyonth decided to dump him before chasing his green friend. There were only a very few greenriders that would worry R’nd if he woke beside but for the most part he was always pleased to be with anyone. You. Well that was rather unexpected and left R’nd baffled for the remainder of the trip! He boggled a bit ore before Ayyonth was finally ushering him off his back and nudging his silly human inside the bathhouse. Only when Ayyonth took off again with the waves of affection rolling off him did R’nd fully clue in. 

Larrikith was about to fly!

Completely excited and now relieved that he wasn’t going to fly with someone other than his not-mate on B’jin’s birthday, R’nd practically skipped inside the bathing house, loving the head start he had been given. One room and then another were given a quick inspection of and finally the right room was found as he opened the door and nearly collided with B’jin standing immediately on the other side. “Hi,” he greeted softly with a large smile that was still completely R’nd and not the feral grin that took over during flightlust. It was soon in coming but for the moment, all expressions were genuine and emotions were purely R’nd with a dash of Ayyonth.
