T'lian had to remind himself to be excited. As it stood, he didn't like being dragged about and he didn't like his rituals being disrupted, so had any other human being (well, with one other exception as well) been the one to invite him to something like this, he'd have found an excuse to avoid it. This wasn't an invitation from just anyone, though. It was from B'jin.
How could Tal ever say no to B'jin? It would be horribly rude, and B'jin's surprises were usually fantastic. On top of that, B'jin would probably give him the eyes if he didn't show. That alone was enough of a deterrent, but after giving himself a little pep talk and reminding himself of just how much B'jin loved him, Tal found himself almost looking forward to the event. T'lian, looking forward to a class function?! Well, how about that!
He landed a short distrance away from the table and gave Khaduceth a single pat, leaving the brown to rest in the grass. Khad was far less interested than T'lian was. Whatever this whole surprise was going to be, it would not be worth his bonded's time, he was sure! He let the sentiment lurk in the back of his mind, content to let T'lian waste his time if he wished. Fellis stayed behind to keep the brown dragon company, while Tansy rested regally on T'lian's shoulder. She was interested enough for all four of them, but standards were important to her as well!
She had one very particular priority: the food had damn well better be as good as it smelled!
T'lian smiled and gave her a scratch on the neck as he seated himself. The food smelled good, and everyone seemed cheerful. It brought a smile to the healer's face to see B'jin in such an obviously good humor. B'jin had been through a lot and often worried himself. Tal sometimes even feared for the man's mental health. Tonight, however, B'jin was radiant.
Tal smiled widely at him when he came around with the parchment and knots, the former of which was far more interesting than the latter. Tal wasn't going to wear the knots anyhow, but he still delicately and respectfully set them aside before looking at the drawing.
"Oh, wow.." he said, almost embarrassed at the soft exclamation he'd made. He'd received some lovely artwork from B'jin before, but this was perhaps the finest. Tal wasn't much of an artist or a particularly educated patron, so while he couldn't exactly appreciate all the style on an academic level, he knew something that was pretty when he saw it. He also had a strong eye for detail, and examining the tiny marks and smudges that made up the detailed work, he could only imagine the time that must have gone into it.
Tansy chirped. Was that her?
Tal put one hand on her, then looked to B'jin. "Wow...this is beautiful," he purred. B'jin had ever personalized it! How sweet!
