T'ryn didn't rush B'jin as the greenrider took his time finding the right words. But when the paper was passed over and he saw his own words echoed back to him, he gave a soft laugh. "He probably feels the same about you." There was no doubt the pair loved each other and he knew he shouldn't doubt Cazan or worry she would wake up and realise her mistake but that was only because she didn't know all his truths. He loved and trusted her with his entire being and she had said much the same in their sappier moments alone together and perhaps that's why he was drowning so much in guilt.
"She has a husband and a boyfriend so does she really need a mate?" T'ryn asked aloud, finally giving voice to a portion of his fear that helped him believe Cazan would one day leave. "Especially a messed up mate." He truly didn’t have an issue with Cazan’s lovers since they made her happy and he knew how much love she had to give to the world at large. How could he ever ask her to keep any portion of herself bottled up? But having Yfris and Kor’is to turn to meant it would be easier to dump him if she had a reason to.
“I guess I just need to clean myself up and be someone she can be proud to be with.” That meant cutting off all side lovers—especially one in particular. He’d done it before so he could do it again, even if it meant avoiding contact all together in situations that wouldn’t have them constantly surrounded by people. He’d also work on being a better bronzerider. One that wasn’t afraid to chase his dreams and T’ryn pointed at the list of wings. “I’ll come by soon and we can work on these together. I think we can come up with something that Weyrleader S’far won’t be able to ignore or even find fault with.” T’ryn sounded a lot more confident than he felt but he wasn’t sure if that was due to his thoughts still wandering to personal issues or a lack of belief that he might be good at something.
“And,” T’ryn hesitated for the briefest of moments as he wondered if he was overstepping or might be insulting before finally pointing to his neck, “the scarves really are nice. I bet Cazan would make you leather chokers as well if you wanted to play around with styles. Kor’is sometimes wears things like that. Maybe between the two of you you’ll start a trend.”
