Besides, for her prickly exterior there was just as much giant green teddy bear on the inside. They would tease the hell out of each other, but it was only with a very well-established understanding of their relationship. Caxith got to be a bitch because she deserved it, and T'rielle had a thick skin so it wasn't all that bad for him to sit through. It had taken some adjusting, and more than a little clashing of personalities once Caxith had realized that yes, she was indeed allowed to talk back if she wasn't comfortable with something. That wasn't as much of a problem anymore--she was big enough and confident enough to handle herself now, and believe it or not T'rielle had managed to mellow somewhat. He wasn't determined to turn the universe on its head anymore. That, he thought, was better left to those who didn't have a very rational fear of the authority figures of the Weyr.
He turned to B'sen with a grin and a nod in greeting, one hand still resting on Caxith's shoulder as the green turned her head to examine the newcomers. "A little bit of both, by the end. I'll be glad of the sunshine when I inevitably get a faceful of water courtesy of Caxith, but she insisted that this was a perfect time for a bath. So, here we are." Turning towards Caxith with an affectionate pat to her shoulder he bent to retrieve the oil, half of his attention still turned towards the other greenrider.
"What about you two? Anything interesting happen lately?" He worked his way up the green's neck, lips twitching at her satisfied humming--there was a reason she insisted on being oiled so frequently (frequently as far as T'rielle was concerned, anyway). It felt good, and on top of that made her look good, which only proved to boost the green's not inconsiderable ego.
