The 'no time' comment raised a genuine laugh from S'bel. Although even if it wasn't faked like usual, it was never really a pleasant sound to hear since it was almost never good-natured. Something about it rang with cynicism that only someone like S'bel could find humor in. "Really? No time? What could possibly occupy so much of your time that you can't find a bedmate? You can only oil your dragon so many times before you run the risk of slipping off mid-flight." He gave a derisive snort. In short- S'bel didn't buy the excuse. He didn't push it further, though. He still had a few ounces of insincere cordially to maintain. He could only push so far before he really did look like the jerk in this situation. Maybe he had already gotten to that point, though. S'bel wasn't a good judge- he though everyone was a jerk by default. That or a fool. He hadn't quite decided which category S'cer fell under. And thus, he couldn't possibly leave yet.
He couldn't keep a flicker of scowl from passing over his features as the greenrider mentioned the cuddling. Score one point for 'jerk'. That was a low blow. It was his dragon's abhorrent propensity for cuddling- not his own! There was really ever only one whose arms he wanted to wake up in and it was never meant to be. ...Damn it. As he forced the smile back onto his features, his mood darkened even more. He couldn't even spare being confronted with the cuddling thing even when he woke up second, and that bitterness swirled around in his stomach as he spoke again, voice a syrupy-sweet purr that belied his true feelings and yet somehow pointed out the dissonance all the more in the bluerider's tempestuous mind. "Hmmm? Most wouldn't call a propensity for cuddling a negative you know? Affection isn't always spurned or met with cold and callous rejection." He emphasized the words in a way that left no doubt they were directed a certain greenrider and not meant in general. Although really, they fit S'bel pretty accurately as well.
He heaved a great sigh at S'cer. "You know what they say about all work and no play," he retorted drolly, leveling a stare at him that said he still meant to be stubborn about this. Probably even more so that the other man's comments had grown even more scathing. He loved a good verbal spar- especially when he was in such a foul mood. And although S'bel probably knew that was due to his own issues, and was not really S'cer's fault, he still blamed him. He had to bear responsibility now and offer some more amusement for S'bel- or at least some small sort of distraction. "Though you're right. You can't leave me alone. It's dreadful manners to run out to soon, you know. Makes a guy feel used."
Ipsyth offered a small croon to reassure Quelseth and show he wasn't growing upset at anything S'cer had to say to S'bel. After all, it couldn't be any worse than anything S'bel said to himself on a regular basis, comments only Ipsyth was privy to. He offered some calm insight meant to comfort.There are thorns on both those in that tent.
