The green dragon was lapping up the attention her rider was lathering on her, coated in the gentle and soothing scent of lavender. B'jin had made his way across the green body with determination, making sure every portion of her hide was well oiled and massaged. His process of climbing and leaning on Larrikith had the man himself coated in the soft scented oil. As a result, he near glowed as literally as his dragon as B'jin stood at her head, using a smaller and softer cloth to carefully apply the stuff to the area around Larrikith's eye, across the panes of her face, and over her headknobs.
Larrikith, with her wings extended and her head drooped lazily, was blatantly ignoring the boys now as she soaked up the warmth of the sunshine on the fresh coat of oil. B'jin finished, tossing the cloth on the pile of other bathing and oiling equipment, and stepped back to admire his handiwork as R'nd spoke up. The green dragon lifted her head to stare at the pair, her eyes dark and heated with her up coming flight. Then she pointedly turned her gaze from them and onto Veeth, offering a teasing croon for the young blue; Then she was hissing threateningly when she caught movement out of the corner of her eye, head spinning around to glare at her mate and his human, unsure if they had really moved or it had been a part of her imagination.
"Larri?" B'jin frowned suddenly, looking genuinely confused as his dragon puffed up, snarling and flicking her tail anxiously. The greenrider managed a single step forward before stiffening distinctly, gasping in shock as he realised what was going on with his dragon and wondering - as he did every time - how he had missed the signs. Then he remembered his companions, and B'jin spun around to face them, twisting to keep both in sight, the greenrider's eyes wild as he backed away slowly. He liked Flying with R'nd. The bluerider was one of his best flight partners - but that face flashed clear as day in his mind and B'jin stumbled as he staggered away from the two younger men, gaze flashing in horror to Valerian. Oh, dear Faranth! no!
"No!" B'jin spun on his dragon, frantic, begging.
Yes! Larrikith shrieked to the world at large, shifting her posture and screaming her challenge to the two blues, even as she threw her small body into the sky, dodged swiftly away from Ayyonth's likely path, and shot off up and over the lake, gaining altitude swiftly.
B'jin watched the form of his glowing dragon vanish into the sparse cloud cover, intent on leading a good chase. The heat of her desire flooding through him, B'jin spun around and locked his gaze on R'nd. "You knew!" The two words were filled with accusation, but also something else that the greenrider couldn't quite decipher; pride, perhaps - the bluerider wanted him. Taking two stumbling steps towards R'nd, B'jin held out one hand in invitation, shooting a horrified look at Valerian. This flight, he would willingly tip the tables in favour of one rider over another; he did not want to wake up on the damned beach with Valerian! Refusing to think on it, B'jin toppled into the effects of dragonlust and let Larrikith take control.
No! Larrikith shrieked again, furious at B'jin's attempt to skew her flight, and she spun away from Ayyonth, lusty gaze searching for the younger blue. She would tangle with him to spite her stupid human! She would show him who rules her flights! She would -- Larrikith gave a furious shriek as someone grabbed her. On the ground, B'jin gave a hiss of fury at being captured so early, before melding into his partner.
