"Hardly the first, Erisi. Only the most worrying." B'jin replied lightly, ignoring the younger Harper's dry tone and responding with his usual tone of voice; he wasn't interested in baiting the boy and while he had absolutely no allusions as to where he stood in the young man's opinion, and he wasn't really concerned. B'jin was aware that Talian liked the candidate, however much and for whatever reason was not the point of the matter. B'jin would be civil, for the Healer's sake, and whether Erisi was willing to do the same would be up to him. B'jin really wasn't too worried, so long as Erisi didn't - as he had said - end up getting Talian into trouble, than he would leave their confusing relationship alone.
Amusement played around B'jin's eyes as Talian took him very literally, and a smile shimmered over his lips for a moment. When he spoke, however, there was none of the emotion in his voice, just simple warmth. "If you wish," he took the klah powder gently from the youngster, letting his hand linger for a moment to give Talian's fingers a gentle squeeze as the boy thanked him. He wasn't exactly sure why he was being thanked, and so found it easier to give a non-verbal reply.
Watching as his young ward went swiftly back to Erisi, B'jin turned his brown eyes upon the harper in question and just looked at him for a moment, his expression slightly calculating before he smiled mischievously and stepped backwards, drawing the door with him, but not before he tossed a cheerful, teasing "have fun, boys!" in through the gap. The door clicked shut, cutting Erisi's comment in half, but B'jin could easily guess what he had been saying. Highly amused, and slightly worried, B'jin's day came crashing down on his shoulders and he shoved his free hand back through his hair as he went to get what other things he required so he could get a lift back to his hut, curl up to die, and worry about Talian's incredibly serious nature later.
