Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

B'jin offered a gentle smile as R'nd gave his hand a light squeeze, gaze lifting to watch his lover's face though the other man was still staring at their hands. B'jin had forgotten all about the time he'd first said those words, and was never with it enough in other moments to recall such times (such as during flightlust), when he'd told the bluerider how he felt since then. It didn't change how he felt, and while there had been times he'd consciously bit his tongue to avoid saying it, lest he spook R'nd, B'jin would have been surprised to learn he'd told R'nd before, and probably slightly alaramed by R'nd's reaction. It wasn't that B'jin had a bad memory - it worked perfectly, clearly - but rather that he simply chose not to recall or remember things that struck him as 'wrong' at the time they were created. Having his lover react negatively to a love confession was hardly something B'jin would enjoy dwelling on, so he put it away and forgot about it.
B'jin frowned at the apology, thumb brushing lightly over the back of R'nd's knuckles as he watched his lover sadly. The immediate assumption of the greenrider - that his bluerider was apologising for his feelings - was depressing, but like with all things, something B'jin was entierly willing to put aside and ignore if that was what R'nd would find most comfortable. It was still heartbreaking, and B'jin's pout while in no way theatrical, was clearly upset with such a manner of handling things. He had no idea what being loved by R'nd would entail - but he was quite sure it was a good thing. N'mall had loved him, of that B'jin was sure, but his relationship with the brownrider had been so different from the things his relationship thus far with R'nd, that B'jin had no idea what would come of it now. It was odd, and exciting, and scary! Curiosity wriggled around the edges of the greenriders emotions, something that flared happily when R'nd clarified what he was apologisng for.
The sudden realisation that the bluerider wasn't sorry for his emotions, but rather for the memories his words had brought up was such a relief to B'jin that he didn't manage to keep the soft laugh it startled from him from escaping. Leaning forward, B'jin placed a light kiss on R'nd's nose. "I know, dear." And he did! R'nd was not the type to go out of his way to poke at wounds, and B'jin knew that Larrikith would not put up with such antics; besides, she genuinely liked and enjoyed R'nd's company, something for which B'jin was very thankful. It had been ever so difficult with her hatred of N'mall, even before things started to get rocky between himself and the brownrider. B'jin was pretty sure Larrikith's disdane for the man and his dragon hadn't helped things. If she'd been able to get along with the other dragon as well as she got along with Ayyonth, than perhaps he would still be happily curled up with him. Instead, he was smiling gently at R'nd. B'jin was loathe to compare the two men, but he couldn't say he was at all unhappy with R'nd!
"No more apologies!" B'jin, buoyant on R'nd's confession and the younger man's apparent desire to let it be acknowledged and not put aside or hidden or ignored, almost sung his little sentence, though his voice was kept at a low murmur; his voice was still slightly husky from the scramble emotions. Smiling gently at R'nd, B'jin slipped back into the tub and tugged gently on his lover's hand, watching placidly albeit with a more bright light to his face, and a small smile on his lips was almost mischevious, though didn't quite pass that line. Stepping into his lover's space, B'jin wrapped his arms gently around the bluerider, hugging him for several moments. "Time to relax," he murmured, stepping away from R'nd and slipping behind him, hands light over the bluerider's back as he brushed his fingers lightly. He paused for a second, one hand leaving R'nd's back to snatch up a handful of scented soap-sand, before returning with gentle touch.
The scent of lavender filled the air as B'jin lathered the little crystals into frothy bubbles, and smeared them across his friend's back.
