R’nd didn’t want to wake up. The sun was warm above him and the sand was nice beneath him and there was someone curled up beside him, content to enjoy it all without words or full consciousness. Ayyonth nudged gently against his mind before settling in beside Larrikith, also content to bask in the sun. Like rider, like dragon; both loved the beach and listening to the water lap at the shore. Unfortunately, the terrified hiss of his name sent grey eyes flying open and mind snapping to full wakefulness as R’nd wondered what was going on and if they were in mortal danger. He tried to sit up and see what was going on but froze at the squeaked order not to move as arms circled his waist. He was still confused and the gaze he turned on B’jin said as much. Were they surrounded by felines? Surely their dragons would be making a bit more noise than lazy croons if that were the case.
As he took in B’jin’s expression from the way his mouth was set to the fear in pretty brown eyes to the tears welling, and soon falling, R’nd understood. He had been excited for their romp on the beach but B’jin, for all his amazing bedroom skills and enthusiasm when alone behind closed doors, wasn’t as open as he was, wasn’t as shameless as he was, and just simply didn’t like the weyr knowing or viewing what he got up to with a lover. In that moment, the shameless bluerider felt ashamed. He should have known better than to think a flight at the lake would work out well in the end and he had been utterly selfish in the desire to have B’jin sprawled beneath him on the sand. “I’m sorry, love,” R’nd’s voice was a hoarse whisper, carrying all the remorse he had for his foolishness as he gently wiped away the trail of tears from one cheek.
Shifting just enough to keep B’jin covered, R’nd looked away from his lover long enough to scout the area, only to find no one was around, Ayyonth confirming it a moment later that he didn’t see anyone either. “No one else is here, I swear it. Even Valerian took off, no doubt as soon as Veeth landed to collect him.” The other cheek received the same gentle touch to brush away the tears before R’nd pressed a lingering kiss to B’jin’s forehead. “I’ll stay exactly like this until only the stars are above us and no one will see us until they trip over us if you want.” He still spoke in tender and calming tones but R’nd meant it; he would stay as a shield for B’jin until nightfall if the greenrider demanded it.
Suddenly recalling he had a lump of a blue dragon not too far away, R’nd reached out to Ayyonth, seeking a little help. Could you find and bring over B’jin’s shorts, Ayyonth? Please. An amused snort met the question but Ayyonth considered the task as he looked between his rider and his mate. You want me to get up to help your sorry behind when I’m comfortable curled up with Larrikith? The things I do for you though I think this counts more as the things I do for B’jin because he’s entertaining, Standing and stretching in a great show of purposely delaying, Ayyonth finally meandered closer to find the shorts and seconds later was cautiously approaching the upset greenrider to drop the shorts at his side and gently nudge B’jin’s shoulder with his nose. With his task completed, Ayyonth laid down along the riders’ side and around them the best he could to help play big blue wall for B’jin’s modesty. Never let it be said he couldn’t play nice!
