"Ahh," B'jin sighed, leaning back thoughtfully as he took in the shamefull appearance of Talian and the way the young man was fidgetting. This was, obviously, going to be a very delicate topic and B'jin would - once more - need to carefully watch what he said and how he said it. He didn't mind Talian's finicy personality, he found it endearing truth be told, but he was also eager for the time when their relationship would be steady enough that he wouldn't have to worry about offending the young man when he said something. It wasn't that B'jin didn't think before he spoke, so much that making sure he did so could become tiresome fast. None the less, a small smile touched his lips slightly as he waited, making sure Talian had finished speaking. When he was sure, he stood up fluidly and collected a mug of Klah for the young healer, and a half-mug for himself.
"Decidedly," B'jin answered as he handed Talian his mug and took his relaxed seat once more, long legs stretched out before him. The greenrider was relaxed, and his expression was slightly amused. "I was, however, involved with a lovely young woman when I was your age." His fingers wrapped around his mug and he held it under his nose, letting the steam whisper around his features. "We had a son, Bendliam. Larrikith, however, Impressed to me while I was recording a Hatching at Telgar Weyr as part of my Journey a Turn after his birth. As a result, I saw very little of her and my boy after that." His face was an expression of bitter-sweetness and he felt Larrikith poke around to see what was going on, before she withdrew quietly.
"I don't think I've mentioned him." B'jin added, before putting his mug down, not having taken a single sip. "Have you heard of Nemall?" He asked, his tone altering slightly as he spoke the other man's name, expression unreadable. Their breakup had been rather gossip-worthy during it's time, but B'jin was unsure if it had become worthy of repeating to any of the younger members of their Weyr. "We were weyrmates for..." B'jin frowned thoughtfully. "Almost twenty Turns." He waved a hand sharply, obviously aggravated, "he came South with Larrikith and I," his voice hitched slightly, but he threw off the memory of M'ram's face before she vanished between forever, in exchange for an irritable grimace. "He is not a rider," he added, perhaps unnecessarily, "which apparently caused jealousy issues between himself and my dragon I was unaware of until recently. Which, as a result, had him thrown rather bodily out of my home." B'jin scowled at the memory, and tapped his fingers on the side of his mug.
He shifted irritably, almost suddnely, and seemed to forget the subject of his ex in exchange for a charming grin and bright eyes as he looked mischievously at Talian. "Several of this rounds Candidates are prime examples of particularly delightful eye candy." His expression continued to mutate into one of delighted teasing, though it was gentle and his tone was playful and calming. "Who has managed to confuse you so?" While it was quite obvious B'jin was going to enjoy their conversation, even if Talian didn't, he was also careful to make sure the young man knew he was playing, and not picking on him.
