Terken hoped so. He was hoping he wouldn't be impatient with the dragon. Even Shanith was kind most of the time, though she and him butted heads often. He truly didn't want to hurt the large creatures especially if one bonded to him. He dropped thoughts of that, and focused on the green he was petting when she butted gently at his hand.
It seemed that some things were universal, and the signal that a creature wanted more petting, affection and attention was one of those things. Kela used the same signal, as did the firelizards he had seen around the weyr. He gave her the attention, petting a bit more certainly and gently scratching a bit at a portion of his that seemed a hair rougher than the hide around it before continuing.
His grin at B'sen calling him a friend was unreserved and delighted, making his eyes warm and his face light up, though it faded when B'sen talked of the North. Realizing he had touched on a rough memory he paused, then yielded to the instinct to offer comfort. He scooted closer and let an arm wrap around his shoulders, giving an awkward one armed hug to the man.
He let go quickly not wanting to offend him, and not used to positive physical contact himself. It had been rare growing up and Ravana was caring but not the most demonstrative person there ever was. It meant he didn't know what the limits were, with women or with other men. But giving a hug was alright. Maybe. He thought so anyways. Kela nosed him with a worried whine, the dog trying too to offer comfort to the green rider, brown eyes suddenly serious, not as playful.
