Riding Ayyonth was still something B’jin found awkward and slightly uncomfortable. The blue dragon was bulkier than Larrikith, which made sitting on him awkward all by itself, but the loss of immediate communication the all-knowing link between a dragon and his dragon was gone. B’jin trusted R’nd impeccably, but that did not stop the lingering fear that curled through him and flushed through his veins. B’jin leaned into R’nd, every moment of the short trip, and tried not to be overly eager to dismount when Ayyonth had landed; he still stumbled when his feet hit the ground about six seconds after they should have and he tottered on the spot for a few moments.
A grin was given to his lover though, when R’nd promised it wasn’t far away – whatever ‘it’ was – and B’jin smirked at the fun story, fingers woven through R’nd’s and a quiet hum accompanying the bluerider’s words. The mentioning of the firelizard had B’jin unconsciously calling to his own little troublemaker, and Shimmer appeared in the air above them with a cool splattering of between. She chittered softly, sweeping low enough to brush her wingtip over B’jin’s cheek, before crooning and vanishing between once more. B’jin got the impression Larrikith had called her, and was both started and suspicious when he realised she had called both firelizards. Brown eyes narrowed suspiciously, but he made no comment.
B’jin paused when R’nd stopped, eyebrows arching upwards as he watched the bluerider turn to him. His request was greeted with lips pursed into a line and a playfully suspicious look was given to his lover. He trusted R’nd not to lead him off the edge of a cliff, or worse, into a patch of numbweed – but B’jin still was not overly prone to surprises. They had rather an unfortunate tendency to be unpleasant! The excited expression and the sulky pout won him over, though, and B’jin’s eyes fluttered shut with a half sigh, a dramatic edge put to the sound though one corner of his lips twitched in delight. He followed R’nd placidly, and without peeking, something testified by the fact that he walked as close as he could to his lover, and frequently stepped on his heels.
A low grunt of surprise escaped B’jin as he ran into R’nd’s back, not realising the bluerider had stopped. The invitation to open his eyes was acknowledged, but B’jin still waited a few more long seconds before following through. He wanted to give R’nd a chance to change his mind (Faranth knew what he was leading him to, there could be specifics involved!) before dark blonde lashes fluttered up and brown eyes adjusted to the change in scenery and lighting.
B’jin’s lips quirked at the clear excitement R’nd was giving off; the barely contained bouncing and the bright expression. Brown eyes studied his lover dramatically for a few moments, before shifting, turning his gaze away to see what it was R’nd had wanted to show him… he stared. Eyes widening dramatically, the greenrider somehow managed not to let his jaw drop, though eyebrows arched upwards and he made a little sound that was along the lines of ‘Oh!’ The fingers curled between R’nd’s dropped away, and B’jin spun suddenly, throwing both freed arms around his lover’s neck and very nearly sending them both to the ground. “You are amazing!” The final word came out on a low growl, followed up swiftly by a delighted kiss that B’jin pulled out of as suddenly as he had initiated it.
His arms fell from around R’nd’s neck to trail down his chest and loose the ties of his pants, even as B’jin was toeing off his own shoes, all the while walking backwards, drawing R’nd along with him and leaving a trail of clothing pieces. B’jin was not sure if it took forever to reach the edge of the pool, or if they were upon it before he could blink. Either way, B’jin broke his gaze from R’nd’s with reluctance, and turned it upon the pool. How hot was it? (He could see steam rising off the surface) and how deep? There was clearly room for both of them (and then some). Gripping R’nd by the arm, B’jin stuck his toe in the water warily (and more than a little comically), and was pleasantly surprised when the water opted not to scald the skin off it.
A bright grin lit up B’jin’s face as he dropped suddenly to the ground and slid in, feeling around warily with his feet as he waited for them to find the bottom… there! A delightfully deep pool, coming halfway up to his chest; B’jin stood up and walked a couple of paces, feeling carefully with his warmed toes still, before turning to look up at R’nd. He did not say anything, just stared up at the bluerider with come-hither eyes, while he swirled his fingers through the top of the water with airs of innocence that no one would ever believe.
