As Larrikith gave her groaned thanks, R’nd heaved a sigh of relief. He was still concerned for his friend but they had managed to get B’jin into without him screaming in further pain or passing out before a pillow was under his head. It didn’t look to be the most comfortable of positions and that was the only reason why R’nd didn’t immediately crawl in beside the man that had mustered up enough energy to issue an invitation to do just that. He was larger than B’jin and didn’t think he had eaten as much of the fellis-coated food so while his motor skills were starting to slow, R’nd was confident he could settle B’jin into bed a bit better before an overwhelming urge to sleep hit him as well.
Carefully he moved the greenrider’s other hand out from under him so it wouldn’t suffer from pins and needles or cramping later on and then focused on shoes. R’nd removed B’jin’s pair first and then his own, as promised though the ‘later’ he had mentioned initially wasn’t going to be so soon, before slowly settling B’jin’s legs more comfortably on the bed. Once that task was completed, R’nd realized that perhaps his lack of sleep was working to speed up the drowsiness of fellis as the room spun briefly when he straightened up too quickly. The removal of pants, often a rather important and favourite task of the bluerider’s when a bed and lover were involved, would have to wait until later. Besides, it wouldn’t do to startle any well-wishers or Talian returning to check on things and find both men naked in bed together.
Continuing with his slow and cautious movements, R’nd finally crawled into bed beside B’jin, bringing a sheet along with him to drape over their lower halves. He wasn’t sure how sensitive the greenrider’s back would be and if the thin material would irritate it at all so for now it was left just within reach in case it was. He settled in on his side facing B’jin and as close as he dared to as the idea of moving suddenly in sleep or upon waking and hitting the tender back didn’t sit well with R’nd. He made sure B’jin wasn’t going to be sucking in his pillow while he slept and then placed a hand atop the one that had beckoned him to bed. “What is it about you,” he murmured softly, knowing full well that B’jin wouldn’t hear him and uncharacteristically forgetting Ayyonth’s enjoyment in embarrassing him with sharing secrets, “that makes me want to stay? That makes me want to help keep S’kef’s attentions off of you, even at the risk of my own lashing?” Shaking his head and knowing no answer would be found until after he woke, R’nd allowed himself to be pulled into sleep from emotional exhaustion and the fellis.
It makes me sad to know that you have situations in which to rank this one against. Ayyonth couldn’t imagine what horrible things the green pair had been through during their life together and even when he picked through R’nd’s mind, he was hard pressed to find anything that came close to being lashed. His lifemate had been lucky thus far and Ayyonth hoped it would continue that way. For all of his teasing, he loved R’nd dearly and didn’t want to see him in the pain B’jin had been dealing with that afternoon or anything worse as Larrikith had implied.
If B’jin has an interest in talking with me, then I will do my best to penetrate his thick skull. R’nd and I won’t mind you talking to him anytime you want either. This wasn’t a onetime deal. With the little green finally relaxing and turning him into a good place to nap while their humans rested, Ayyonth rumbled his pleasure at the men finally taking larger steps with each other, though it remained to be seen how much was remembered once the fellis released them. He was also quite content with Larrikith being so friendly and at ease with him and gave her a nuzzle and a lick of his own to her cheek before resting his head atop her petite form. While he intended on having his nap, he would sleep lightly, keeping his mind focused on R’nd and ears open for any distress B’jin might be in. Larrikith may have given him permission to try to talk to the older rider but Ayyonth had no intentions of barging into his mind at every available opportunity. It would be rude to do so and abusing the honour bestowed upon him.
