T’bia was not prone to watching where he was walking. Quite the contrary, of late, as the young man was far more interested in fingering his newly won bluerider knots, and making sure they sat flat… or that they were even still there! The first few days, T’bia had even awoken from nightmares wherein his knots had been taken back by scary faced B’jin, or a raging R’nd, and even once, he’d had a nightmare that the Weyrleader had come marching in and raved about how real riders were everything T’bia wasn’t. He had cried for hours! It had taken all of Jycenth’s calming influence and quiet wisdom to calm his poor, distressed rider down that morning.
Presently, however, T’bia was babbling aloud and quite happily to his dragon – the blue being some distance away, and mostly asleep on a roof top – making the youngster look more than a small amount insane as he petted his knots and nearly skipped along. Not that T’bia knew – in the slightest – that he looked insane. Unfortunately, his mindless babble, his distracted nature, and the fact that he never looked where he was going, were all ingredients for disaster all by themselves. That, of course, was without adding in a bouncing pup and a tumbling ball!
T’bia was quite literally taken by surprise, when the pup nearly ran into him; the sudden appearance of the little canine caused the boy to squeal, an alarming sound and not at all masculine, and bounce backwards. Naturally, with T’bia being T’bia, the boy tripped over his own feet, and landed with a splat on his arse on the damp, muddy ground. Huge eyes stared at the young dog, as the creature picked up its ball. T’bia blinked several times, his shell shocked face turning to see the man sitting not far away, who (in T’bia’s opinion) looked far too amused by the whole thing. A sulky pout formed on the teen’s full lips.
What happened? Amusement lingered within Jycenth’s sweet voice, and T’bia could feel his dragon’s curiosity radiating from their link. Rather than perking T’bia up, it just caused him to pout more visibly for a few moments, before he was suitably distracted by the young canine, his expression becoming one of curiosity; he’d never really bothered to be around the creatures. He knew there were a few running around the weyr, but T’bia had never actually seen one up close. He glanced at the man that appeared to own it (did people own canines, or were they like dragons?) before holding his fingers out to it. He wasn’t sure he was allowed to touch it, and if they were like dragons, it would be awfully rude to touch it without permission!
“Hello!”
This post is extremely awkward. It's almost 2am and I haven't played T'bia nearly enough to know him yet. Please excuse the weird; he should smooth out soon. I hope :| lol. I assumed the pup came back to sniff at him, but let me know if you would like me to change anything :)
