R’nd frowned at the hesitation before B’jin spoke, more so when the counter points were brought up, and thought his mouth would freeze into a deep frown when the idea of talking to J’ver was brought up. The greenrider wasn’t nearly as vicious as S’kef could be but he was still slimy and hard to trust. It wasn’t even whether or not he’d get credit for the idea that bothered R’nd but simply having B’jin near the man that seemed to have enough information on everyone in Katila to keep them wrapped around his finger until he was bored didn’t sit well at all.
“I didn’t think about all of those points but they’re valid and you’re onto something with tithing and those that are more comfortable here than in the North, whether born here or lost too much in the past.” They would need older dragonriders to help run the Weyr and oversee the crops and herds just as always, especially if it would end up helping to keep a Northern Weyr running. No doubt the older riders would want to stay South and consider it a retirement of sorts while the younger ones that were born in Katila or didn’t remember the North would be afraid of the move. They definitely couldn’t abandon Katila but they couldn’t leave anyone behind in the unstable current location so a new one was needed.
“I’ll talk to the Weyrsecond, love. No need to bother J’ver while he’s recovering from his injuries,” R’nd did his best to mask his dislike and even fear of the greenriders being alone together and as horrible as it was to say, was thankful J’ver had been injured and could use it as an excuse to keep them apart. Besides, the Weyrsecond never seemed busy and had a far more agreeable personality.
Figuring that was enough politics and clever brainstorming for the time being, R’nd focused on the hands running over his thighs and a slim brow rose in interest. “Not done playing in the water, I see,” a devious grin appeared as R’nd slipped in after B’jin and caught him up in his embrace. “Good because neither am I.”
