B'jin was quite a distance away, as he lost himself in the simple joy of watching children enjoy themselves, the easy relaxation of not doing any jobs, the pleasure rolling of Larrikith and the fact that both rider and dragon were firmly blocking any negative emotions that might attempt to make themselves known to the pair, or force the ever guiltable B'jin into finishing his tasks. But, even those who were being punished deserved a time to rest and relax, and B'jin had decided he was no different. Besides, being stripped of all his dragonriding related duties had put quite a lot of space into his daily routine. Not as much as before the Plague, maybe, but more than enough. At any rate, rest day or not, B'jin was not expecting adult company as he used his dragon to occupy half the Weyr's children; most of them were avoiding him like he was the draconic plague embodied!
As a result, B'jin's relaxed body froze when he first heard a voice, before the words were heard and he turned his head lazily, an equally lazy smile forming upon his lips as he looked up at the blueriders familiar face. He was obviously pleased not to be looking up at D'ren; that was all he needed! Brown eyes brightening in amusement at R'nd's greeting, B'jin's lazy smile formed into a bright grin. "I'm out of practice," he responded simply, turning to look back at the image when he realised that was where R'nd was staring. He eyed it critically for a moment, then shrugged slightly. "I've done better."
Twisting around, B'jin sat up lazily and crossed his legs, blinking up at R'nd with a squint when the change in posture altered his position in regards to the sun. "Would you like to sit?" B'jin asked, lightly, before leaning over to grab R'nd's hand and jerk him to the ground, anyhow, not bothering to wait for a reply. He enjoyed the younger man's company, but found him far too fleet of foot. Every time he turned around, the bluerider was charging off in the other direction! Larrikith gave a chirp of amusement, and B'jin flashed a frown in her direction before turning to smirk at R'nd, his expression devious. "I hear you," and he tapped R'nd's nose with the tip of his paintbrush's handle, "got roped into claiming a brat."
Weyr gossip was well travelled, but B'jin found this particular piece more interesting than most, and finally being given the opportunity to make a playful dig? He wasn't about to pass it up when his entire week had been a slogging mess of stress and boring, menial chores that made him want to drop himself between just to escape. Smirking playfully, B'jin waited for a response.
