Valerian was in his usual state of indifference as he waited for the shindig to start. He was curious about what was to be said thanks to his natural curiosity and need to document what happened around him but he also didn’t want to bother actually attending. At least it cut into some of his daily duties, which could be appreciated. B’jin was right when he said free time and sleep would be a thing of memory for the first little while of being bonded. One day he would be able to rest when he wanted and not worry about missing a class and having the wrath of G’rem on him.
When Ronarth flew over head, Valerian didn’t duck down like most nor did he cheer. It was fascinating to see the big beast fly so low to him but right then it was a reminder that Veeth wasn’t flying yet and when his little blue did learn, they would have even more classes to make sure everything was done properly and neither would suffer any harm. While Valerian was all for the avoidance of pain and injuries, he really didn’t want to go through more lectures.
That was his first thought when D’ren voiced his intent as well. More lessons would be held, likely on a daily basis, about flying as a unit, the best way to avoid Thread, and how to chew firestone. Of course he was thrilled at the idea of being a true draognrider preparing to fight the threat and defend all people of Pern, what little boy didn’t have that fantasy? Still, he would be a student for a while longer and he’d have to continue reminding himself a little longer that his life was forever changed and he had better get used to it entirely. He couldn’t have the dragon without all of the responsibilities as well.
At least D’ren was kind enough to give him something to laugh at. The weyrleader had just named B’jin and his young lover as weyrmated and Valerian found that extremely hilarious and showed it by laughing while looking for his friend. He found B’jin with a horrified look upon his face and trying to disappear. That wasn’t too surprising. The greenrider kept telling him to keep his comments to himself lest they scare R’nd off. The bluerider didn’t do commitment well and would likely run if he heard someone mentioning how cozy the pair had become. It was an understandable fear that B’jin had since he had foolishly hooked up with the restless player of hearts but Valerian wouldn’t have laughed if he thought there was a true reason to worry. R’nd would freak out and panic but the Harper didn’t think the man would be stupid enough to throw away whatever the two did together that made B’jin even happier with larger smiles than usual. Still, he’d keep an eye on B’jin to make sure his friend was doing okay.
Veeth sat off to the side, still a little sad he wasn’t allowed to follow Valerian into most buildings or gatherings now. At least he had good company where he was told to wait! Larrikith and a larger blue named Ayyonth were sitting nearby and Veeth felt grown up and important by keeping their company. He watched them more than he did D’ren and what everyone else was doing – except when Ronarth flew over! That was an amazing trick – trying to learn from the pair in proper ways of behaviour. G’rem would be proud to know he was doing extra credit and would blow Charath away with how poised and mature he was!
It was why the laughter the pair suddenly broke into startled the dragonet so much. He hadn’t been expecting that and while he didn’t overly care what D’ren said since Valerian would fill him in later, he had been listening somewhat all the same. He didn’t think anything funny was said but maybe he missed the joke! Larrikith, what’s making you laugh so much? Are you going to be okay? Veeth started to worry that the pretty green couldn’t breathe but he also wanted to know the joke as well so he could join in!
