“Of course!” T’bia waved off anything else he might have said to gawk up at R’nd in surprise and slight dismay. Why wouldn’t he want to hang out with R’nd? The older bluerider was the closest thing to absolutely amazing that T’bia could think of and B’jin was okay, too, but T’bia was utterly terrified of the greenrider for reasons he didn’t quite have words for. Probably it was the man’s eccentricity; when the greenrider was as inclined to laugh happily, as he was to munch on heads, T’bia never knew what to expect! Jycenth’s soft amusement at that went over T’bia’s head, despite their close bond.
Taking his confused attention away from his amused young blue, T’bia fiddled with a piece of dried fruit as he turned wide blue eyes back on B’jin and his companions. A shy glance was given to R’nd, before the group regained T’bia’s attention. “Which one?” His voice was soft and low; T’bia himself was not quite sure if he wanted to be heard or not as he finally lifted the fruit to his lips and nibbled on it anxiously. The boy was not interested in anything more than the proposed friendship, but that was enough to make him squirm. T’bia was not overly good at making friends!
While clearly overwhelmed by the prospect of meeting someone new, T’bia finished the piece of fruit he had had in hand, and frowned worriedly at the greenrider in the centre of the little group. It looked like he had finished playing or singing (how many songs had they talked through? Any?) and was being hauled to his feet by a couple of other greenriders. “I don’t think he can stand… How will he dance?” Genuine confusion showed on T’bia’s face as he shifted his blue eyes to R’nd’s, then back to the giggling greenriders.
T’bia pouted. He did not understand at all. Being a graduated dragonrider was going to be a lot more work than weyrlinghood had, clearly!But such fun! Jycenth’s voice was filled with good cheer, and it melted T’bia’s pout into a soft smile. Maybe, he allowed.
