It all happened very quickly. Pleasantries were exchanged and laughter exchanged, but in the background, slutrider squabbling escalated in the flash of an eye. S'kef spun around just in time to see the bluerider reel back, eyes filled with shock and betrayal at the blow. I'shan let out a defensive squeak and turned to his lover. S'kef instinctively reached for J'ver, intended to grab the greenrider's shoulder and snap him back, possible shake and scold him for daring to strike another brownrider's property...But he would have no such chance.
Bam!
The unmistakable sound of a closed fist on a jawbone stopped S'kef in his tracks. He watched as J'ver - his J'ver - reeled from the blow. S'kef immediately turned his eyes on N'gelt in absolute fury, watching as that disgracefully misbehaving greenrider buried his face in N'gelt's shoulder.
S'kef was caught in an awkward position. He wanted to leap on N'gelt and punish him for daring to strike back at J'ver, but like N'gelt, he was unwilling to make such a public display of affection. It burned him up to think of N'gelt getting away with such a horrid act. It enraged him even more to see the visible devotion between the pair. I'shan looked so desperate and weak, clinging to his keeper like that and crying like a dog. And yet,S'kef knew that when they were alone...
They didn't deserve that. I'shan didn't, at least. S'kef glowered as J'ver left after a mild threat, leaving the brownrider alone with the offending pair. S'kef took a step closer to them.
"That belongs to me," S'kef growled, inching dangerously close to N'gelt's face. S'kef had clashed with the brownrider before and was certain their odd half-friendship would resume later, but for now, he wanted it to be abundantly clear where he stood. "...You're lucky I need to be on my best behavior for D'ren. Don't you ever touch him again."
As he spun around to pursue J'ver, he realized just how invested he'd sounded. It had been...almost sexual. Almost affectionate.
Bah!
"J'ver! Wait..." he called out. He glared a bit and realized he couldn't leave it at just that. "....right now!" Yes, it must be an order...
Bam!
