J'zek rolled his eyes at the "only seen when I want to be." comment, but made a mental note to keep an eye out for the sneaky Greenrider in the future. Someone who openly bragged about being sneaking was someone he had little reason to trust. Not that he had anything to hide, but that didn't mean he wanted someone listening in on private conversations.
The name the other man gave didn't ring any bells, but S'kef did. Jes gave J'ver a longer glance. So this was the Greenrider rumor said the Weyrleader bedded. J'zek found the knowledge disgusting. One would think the Weyrleader would at least try to hold himself to a higher standard, but that didn't seem to be the case. He blamed it on the fact that the man was just a Brownrider, not Bronze. It was too bad the Weyr was under such tainted leadership at a time when it needed someone the Holds and Halls could admire and respect. No one was going to respect a Weyrleader who bedded another man.
Unfortunately J'zek wasn't in a position to protest and as much as J'ver's presence made his skin crawl, and not in a pleasent way, he was smart enough to realize it was best to remain on his good side. "S'kef must truly value your opinion." J'zek said lightly, refusing to let the man visibly intimidate him. J'ver obviously held quite the sway over the Weyrleader, either because S'kef trusted him or else didn't think much of the current Weyrsecond. "I can't speak for the rest of the group, but Sirbuth and I are settling in quite well." No need to let on how much he disliked being stuck in the South and give the other man something to possibly use against him.
A proud smirk quirked up one corner of his mouth at J'ver's compliment. Caring for Sirbuth was one of the few things keeping him sane. His love for the Bronze was as complex as it was complete and he was utterly dedicated to his care. Not that Sirbuth would have allowed him to slack off. "Yes, he's doing very well now." Jes said with a smug leer. "Were you able to attend the hatching?" He asked, curious to know if J'ver had witnessed his dragon's hatch and then maul a fellow candidate. He wouldn't say Sirbuth was prone to violence, but the young Bronze already seemed to appreciate and enjoy its usefulness.
