The impish smirk was still in place as B’jin bickered playfully with R’nd over who would be helping whom out of the tub, and managed to scramble out of the water first, before offering his hand to R’nd with a smirk. The greenrider wasn’t sure if he won, or if he’d been allowed to win, but that was beside the point as he jerked R’nd out of the water with a little more strength than he’d anticipated, and staggered backwards several steps with a gleeful snigger, dragging R’nd with him rather than shoving him unintentionally back into the pool.
“You’re all wet,” B’jin’s eyes widened innocently and he tugged on a lock of R’nd’s hair with all the airs of never having seen his lover post bath before. The playfulness was clearly the instigator of stating the obvious, and B’jin’s cheerful face vanished as he revealed a towel with a sudden swirl of movement, and dropped it over the top of R’nd’s head. Leaving his lover to fend with his lack of vision for a moment, B’jin wrapped a towel around his own waist as he trotted over to the shelves on one side of the room. The room in question was one of his favourites, because for some reason when he left jars of lavender oil lying around in it, they didn’t vanish! It was one of the bigger, more luxurious rooms, and probably one generally reserved more for those of rank than lowly greenriders and their randy partners.
Humming happily to himself, B’jin turned to make his way back to R’nd, but grinned impishly at his lover when he turned to find him right there. “Hello.” Brown eyes sparkled as B’jin wriggled out of R’nd’s hands and ducked behind him, poking and prodding the younger man across the room to where there was a small seating bench against the wall. It was such a lovely little room! “Sit!” B’jin commanded, more laughter than anything else in his voice as he plopped down beside R’nd, folding one leg under the other so he could twist and he poked R’nd in the ribs playfully “The wall is prettier than me, love,” B’jin teased, waiting patiently for R’nd to sit with his back to him.
Pouring some of the oil into his hand, B’jin put the jar down on the floor and rubbed his hands together to warm it before running his hands with gentle firmness over R’nd’s shoulders, the base of his neck, and down his sides. B’jin had none of Talian’s knowledge of how bodies were put together (or how to put them back together) but he knew how to give a massage! Leaning forward, B’jin smiled against R’nd’s ear. “Did you have plans for today?”
