B'jin's lips twisted into a silent snarl at the sleazy little greenrider's arrogance as he slinked through B'jin's home, and it was all the Searchrider could do to resist shuddering and tossing he slimeball bodily from his hut. No one - no one! - came in his home and threatened his children! Nostrils flared as J'ver continued to explain what it was he wanted, answering B'jin's questions with that same slithering manner and the greenrider's eyes narrowed suspiciously. While he didn't doubt that J'ver wanted the information as soon as possible - whatever his reasons for seeking it - B'jin was unsure if he should go with the 'right this minute' soon, or the 'come back in three days' soon. Both had advantages, both had distinct disadvantages. In the end, he chose to go with the 'now', in the hopes of avoiding having to put up with J'ver again. Scrunching his nose, B'jin spoke.
The accusations seemed to come from no where as he named two brown and two bronze riders that had been in on the burning of Tsuen's hut. He said nothing but names and that which was the dirt, keeping to himself how he had come across such information or why he had not given it up previously. Then there was the brownrider that pilfered the wine cache and sold skins to the younger brats for various kinds of prices (pretty much amounting to whatever they would pay, and very few of them honorary), the bronzerider that had two greenriders and a bluerider under his thumb (for undisclosed reasons) and how he used their services to get what he wanted from various corners of the Weyr, and that two of them had taken Lashings getting him things he wanted. The brownrider that had been making unsolicited moves on one of the young green weyrlings despite current probations, and another brownrider that was causing mischief in the bathing houses, mostly by inappropriate attentions to women that were attempting to simply stay hygienic. (Not that B'jin expected any different from brown riders. That went unsaid, but was written in the disgust on his face).
"Now get out, and leave us alone." While the words were said flatly and dryly, there was no mistaking the glint of anger in the greenrider's eyes or the way his jaw tightened as he waited for J'ver to do as he was told. To thread and between he was letting the slimy little slut get the better of him, or have his kids or friends wind up in his grasp because the stupid little tart was on a power trip. For the moment, however, B'jin kept his lips sealed on the one thing he knew would really spark up a reaction in J'ver; He had no intention of spilling the dirt he had on S'kef unless it was seriously called for, and he didn't want J'ver to know he had it any more than he wanted S'kef aware he might be pushed to reveal it.
Some things were better left right outside the line of vision.
