Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

He should have kept his mouth shut! Why did he have to ask questions that were better off filed away with all the others that sprang up the more he spent time alone with B’jin? Sure it was a little worrisome that the greenrider might be afraid of him and kept agreeing to see him because saying no wasn’t an option – though R’nd couldn’t quite believe that since Larrikith wouldn’t stand for that if nothing else. But there was still genuine joy in the smiles B’jin gave him and it took trust to curl up against someone while you slept. So why did he ask anything that wasn’t about if there was more klah or not and risk upsetting B’jin like he so clearly did? Seeing brown eyes look anywhere but at his face and having B’jin pull from his touch stole R’nd’s breath in his own moment of fear. He had hurt his friend and now B’jin was going to leave and that would be that.
Thankfully, as he started to lower his hand left hanging empty in the air and to piece together something to retract his questions, B’jin’s hand was on his initiating the touch once more. He also saved R’nd from speaking for a moment as an answer finally came. He listened, his gaze trying to stay on his antsy friend as best as it could until B’jin buried his face against his chest. Still, R’nd said nothing, waiting to see if there would be anything else to explain the fear that wasn’t caused by a bluerider but obviously something else. When Larrikith’s gentle wave of reassurance came, R’nd managed a small smile the little green nor her rider would see. It was needed as he was still upset at himself for upsetting B’jin to such a degree that he now had his friend clinging to him.
R’nd knew there was something more behind the statement that he was good to B’jin and he didn’t scare the man. In R’nd’s opinion that meant there were others that hadn’t been good to B’jin which left him afraid when with someone. From the little he had heard about Nemall and just the pleasure S’kef took in dishing out the lashings which then led his mind to thinking about flights, particularly with their violent prone browns, and how those went for the greenrider, he couldn’t help but believe that B’jin had never truly known a gentle touch. It was no wonder why he sometimes looked nervous or afraid when he said something. Of course he had no proof and R’nd didn’t want to push the topic since he had already clearly overstepped a line with B’jin. R’nd wanted to help friends whenever he could but right then, he wasn’t sure how to erase memories and chose to go with leaving the topic alone and waiting for the day his friend wanted to tell him more. Was that the right choice? R’nd wasn’t sure but it would be the quick fix to his stupid mistake and he hated knowing he caused friends any level of pain. He trusted B’jin and believed he was trusted in return – as, if nothing else, be allowed to help B’jin after the lashing clearly showed – so there would be a day somewhere down the line where they could freely discuss their pasts, insecurities, and answer questions that had been left unspoken.
Satisfied that being his normal charming self hadn’t been the problem and neither had his odd reaction at the celebrations the night before, R’nd relaxed somewhat and carefully set his hands low on B’jin’s waist to slowly circle them around the greenrider. It was probably a bit too late to practice caution with the man’s back after their passionate night together but R’nd didn’t want to take chances and further inflict pain on B’jin; he was clearly doing enough of that on a mental level.
“How would you spook me? Oh,” R’nd realized the very obvious fact behind that fear. His reputation, while extremely accurate and usually helpful, was going to now work against him when it came to B’jin. Flirtatious, friendly, fun, and great in bed but don’t get too attached or he’ll disappear faster than a dragon blinking between. He wasn’t good with commitments and when someone started to fall for him, R’nd would break their heart and call an end to their encounters. But B’jin was a friend and had quickly earned a spot amongst I’shan, Kerrin, and only a couple of others as close friends he would do anything for. Carefully, R’nd removed his hold he had only just initiated and went to brush back wisps of B’jin’s hair falling across his face before placing a gentle kiss on the now exposed forehead. A small, soft smile was given as hands moved back to the hold that he tightened as much as he dared for a proper embrace as R’nd finally found the words to playfully chastise his friend for thinking he could misstep and ruin everything they had. “Didn’t I just admit to having fun when I’m with you? I like being with you. Why would I end something so amazing?”
It wasn’t entirely needed since it didn’t change their positions all that much but R’nd ducked his head just the slightest bit as he tilted his head to regard his friend from the new angle. “Now, going back to those kisses we don’t want to share…” Again one of his hands shifted from waist to face and R’nd would have laughed at his hands being so antsy if he wasn’t solely focused on B’jin and tilting his head up so another tender kiss could be placed, this time on lips.
And mine is just as clueless as ever! Ayyonth’s laughter was clear on his voice as he replied to Larrikith’s simple remark to what their humans were getting up to. R’nd was being adorable with how he still hadn’t figured out that maybe B’jin was more than just one of the close friends he occasionally slept with. He’d figure it out eventually, with a helping blue or green paw naturally, and the journey to that moment might cause a lot of headaches but Ayyonth was content to leave him be for the time being since he was doing well enough on his own with making progress that morning. Perhaps R’nd should always be hungover for such important talks!
That thought only made the blue laugh more as he continued to glide along beside Larrikith, her teasing words only adding to his good mood. I’m sure I would expect nothing less from the devious minx I call friend. He fell silent when Larrikith vanished and rumbled his amusement at her appearing above him and brushing his wing with hers. She was a little daredevil and a tease, and while Ayyonth wouldn’t want any of the weyrlings to mimic those moves, he fully appreciated them and found they only added to the fun he had when with her. Now that she was in sight again, he continued his own teasing, though his brand was more in tune with R’nd’s flirting, Besides which, laughing before is better than during as then your concentration will be on freeing me and the rewards I may give my saviour.
Ayyonth thought about the question posed to him and since he couldn’t remember any trips to the forest in recent times, he peeked through R’nd’s memories, his rider uncaring about what he was up to since he was too caught up in B’jin and making everything right between them. Soon after hatching, R’nd and I took trips to the forest a lot. He likes going for walks amongst the trees. I haven’t been since reaching my full size since R’nd didn’t want to risk me getting stuck so I linger nearby or fly above the trees when he goes now. Still, that didn’t mean he would get caught anywhere and Larrikith seemed excited to show him a certain location. She also seemed to be genuinely worried about him getting stuck and causing him to panic.
Touched by her concern, Ayyonth angled in closer to brush his wingtip against Larrikith’s, using her playful moves as one of his own, There’s nothing for you to worry about, my lady. I would like very much to explore with you and see your favourite places. If I misstep along the way, it’ll be of my own doing. Still, he hoped he didn’t end up wedged between trees or caught up in a tight dead end. What a way to ruin a beautiful day!
