B'jin was sprawled at his desk, his chin in hand as he stared in boredom at the class of pre-teens currently answering the questions written on the chalkboard behind him. Testing their knowledge was his most boring class. B'jin personally enjoyed the more interactive classes where everyone got to be loud and mess around. He'd also learned early in his career that the more fun the class, the better his students learned. Unfortunately, no matter how he educated them, they still had to undergo their tests in the same manner. Silent, and boring. The teacher was probably huffing out more sighs than the students - much to their amusement.
He'd been in such an amazing mood that morning, too! Larrikith had even let him sleep in! And when he'd awoken, with just enough time to prepare before dropping into the class, he'd been practically bouncing as he entered the room. The children had been ecstatic, for surely such a display meant a good lesson. It would have been, too, if one of the other Harper's hadn't been making the rounds reminding everyone that today was test day and that the tests had to be done and some shit about the Weyrleaders wanting to be up to date on the education levels of the children in the weyr. Or something. B'jin had stopped listening after the word "test" (much to his student's amusement) and stared at the message bearer like they were a rabid wher (much to his student's amusement) before pouting (to their laughter) and sulkily writing the given questions on the chalk board.
Then he'd taken a seat at his desk and huffed and sighed for the past hour. The greenrider was mid grumble when a deliciously warm shiver trailed down his spine, and brown eyes opened wide in surprise. A couple of the front row student's looked up in amusement when he stopped grumbling to himself, then frowned at him. One of the older boys sat back in his seat with an expression of wicked amusement as he watched B'jin, while a couple of the other's simply looked mildly confused. The older boy winked at the two others, and the three of them smirked, just as Larrikith's shriek filled the air. B'jin's eyes just about popped as he suddenly flung himself up from his desk, chair skittering backwards.
"OUT!" B'jin wasn't usually one to issue commands so loudly or with such conviction. It startled most of his class, who had actually been paying more attention to their tests than to their teacher. The boy at the front burst into laughter as he stood up and ushered the rest of the confused class out of their seats, "Larrikith is Flying!" The pre-teen explained, grinning as the rest of the class caught on, and knowing looks were tossed at their teacher as they all skittered from the room, skirting a couple of early contestants as they slipped inside. Honestly! How did they find their way so swiftly?!
B'jin slipped under the arms of one overly eager bluerider and across the classroom, stopping when he reached the door that lead into the small office he claimed, eyeing the two other men with trepidation. A blue- and a brownrider, but neither he could name as Larrikith's lust slammed into him, her challenge ripping through the air once more before the round, green dragon shot into the sky from where she'd been resting in the sun beside the wall of B'jin's classroom.
Green wings spread wide, she shot up into the morning sky, twisting away to the left without warning and skimming over the rooftops with little to no space. A moment later, she was shooting straight upward, leaving behind the blue and brown who had thought they were so clever, hissing over her shoulder as she vanished into a fluffy white cloud. She appeared on the other side in a burst, and twisting dramatically again, twisted almost forty-five degrees to shoot off in a random direction, another self satisfied shriek of challenge bellowing from her tiny form. They thought they could catch her!?
Larrikith would have laughed at them, but she was somewhat occupied with vanishing into another cloud, and bursting out the side at random, and heading once more in a completely different direction, crowing her delight at the floundering the larger dragons were subjected to as they attempted to follow her, or were taken by surprise at her changes.
B'jin, filled with his dragon's self assured arrogance, glared condescendingly at the men and women that shifted and wove together before him, echoing their dragon's movements without realising it.
