"I bet," T'lian said, eyes widening and cheeks heating up only slightly at the mention of Veeth's appetite. It was an indirect reference, but it didn't take much for T'lian to put two and two together. Veeth's reputation was no secret, and Tal couldn't imagine his own dragon sporting such a habit, even for a moment. "I'm thankful to say that Khaduceth doesn't seem to be interested in females," Tal replied. He couldn't say he envied Val and the awkward position his dragon kept him in. "At least not so far. I'm hoping it stays that way."
Tal glanced outside, eyeing Khaduceth as the dragon remained curled outside. The brown had taken a passive liking to Veeth, keeping the blue company even if he wasn't nearly as talkative or enthusiastic. Khaduceth liked both Veeth and V'ler, however. They were gentle and kind, and they made his bonded happy. That was all he needed to put up with even the most ridiculous antics.
Back inside, Tal just smiled. "...B'jin is impossible," he commented. "I've tried asking him about his relationship, but he doesn't even seem to realize he's in one," he said with mild amusement. He shook his head. "B'jin will be B'jin. It's pretty sweet, though...I've always thought he seemed awfully lonely." At least once he'd gotten to know him. The first B'jin Tal met seemed to chipper and happy. The real B'jin, who Tal hadn't first glimpsed for some time, turned out to be much more complicated and tragic.
The healer smiled, then glanced back to Val. He was still blushing just a tiny bit; while he'd spoken casually of his little crush, he certainly wouldn't have minded being a greenrider on the 'wrong' end of one of Veeth's flights! "Your secret is safe with me, Val. You know I won't say a word to B'jin..and I'm not sure he would notice even if I did," he commented, not insulting the greenrider, but just making a routine observation. B'jin was a master of not hearing what he didn't want to hear.
