B’jin’s laughter was bright and truly amused, sparked by R’nd’s words and the still sulky pout on the man’s lips. There was no cruelty in the sound, but the true amusement was easily heard. “Oh, my love,” B’jin shook his head, smiling as he gently combed a lock of hair back from R’nd’s face. “You think she would stay, with you pouting at her like that?”
The greenrider’s smile was placid, and slightly sad. “She’s a greenrider, R’nd. Grith is over fifty years old. They fly every time you turn around; that is hundreds of times Par’a has been tangled with a rider she did not always want. How many of them do you think let her walk away?” B’jin paused for a moment. “She’s not going to take what isn’t offered. She isn’t jaded, not like that.” Some of them were; greenriders like A’liran who would take it if they thought it would empower them in some way. Par’a was not like that. No, Par'a would be just as insulted by R'nd's lack of interest, as his silly lover was by hers.
He signed softly, as R’nd repositioned himself and wove their fingers together. A half smile pulled up one corner of his lips and B’jin’s expression softened. “Some stories not even you will hear, love,” he teased gently.
