T’bia screwed his lips up, twisting them to the left as his nose scrunched up and he frowned towards where the greenriders were. “Yeah, I remember,” T’bia said slowly, his lips and nose returning to normal though the frown still furrowed his eyebrows. He clearly remembered the way B’jin danced around (in particular) the brownriders in his class. Not that T’bia didn’t, because some of them were really quite mean, but B’jin was their teacher and when the Assistants weren’t around, one of the young brownriders was especially self-righteous and down trod B’jin. Not that anyone said anything, and even then, T’bia did not dare. Faranth only knew how R’nd would have reacted to that.
T’bia puffed out a long breath. Being a dragonrider was so much harder than it looked! Even with all the information and things that had been shoved into his brain alongside Jycenth, T’bia was quite sure – especially of that moment – that he’d be learning about being a dragonrider for a very long time. It was very good that R’nd was still interested in having him tag along! He really did hope he would be assigned to the other bluerider’s wing! It would make life much, much better! “But… Why are they only greens?”
Despite what he knew, that did not explain why the other coloured riders did not join the group of greenriders. It was a social event, and he could see many other riders milling around, but the group looked as if they were in their own little world. Even when B’jin started playing the guitar and a rider on the far side of the room they were in (T’bia could not see his knots or face to know who they were) called out a song to be played, there was the suitable response of cheers and catcalling and jeers, no one joined them and the group didn’t disperse.
They are most comfortable with their own company, love. Like you are more comfortable sitting there with R’nd than if you were with our classmates. The young dragon paused, his usually light and playful voice less buoyant than usual, but compared to the majority of other dragons, still bouncing gleefully. Unfortunately, it doesn’t help the divides between you humans, a little sigh followed that, and the dragon turned his mind from human concerns, attention returning to the conversation he was participating in with various other dragons. Dragons had no concerns for such silliness as company divided by hides!
T’bia’s nose scrunched up again as Jycenth’s thoughts and opinions bled through to him, even if the exact wording was not there. “Dragonriding is complicated,” T’bia pouted, though a light smile pulled the corner of his lips up as he reached over to steal a piece of dessert off R’nd’s plate and grin brightly at his companion. It lasted for several seconds before a naughty giggle burst free. “How did you meet them?” His head nodded slightly towards the group of greenriders, while T’bia’s eyebrows did a little jiggle to imply R’nd had known them before B’jin introduced him to his friends. He giggled again, and took another bite of the dessert.
