R'nya didn't respond at D'ren's question, instead he simply watched silently as the Weyrleader considered it all very thoughtfully, the younger bronzerider mildly though invisibly amused. The Weyrleader's conclusion was met with a subtle nod, though it was one of neither agreement nor disagreement, simply an acknowledgement of the conclusion the other man had drawn. Like the Weyrleader, R'nya was someone that could easily be considered prudish, though he had the added benefit of having been out of the spotlight for the past decade. That wasn't a luxury he would be able to claim much longer, but the bronzerider wasn't thinking about that or what the wing he had been assigned may make of his lack of sexual appetite.
The Weyrleader's rather pointed and sharp warning about his ex second had one of R'nya's eyebrows arching just slightly; a subtle but visible indication of his surprise at the way in which the Weyrleader had spoken. IT wasn't that R'nya didn't consider the warning useful or that he was unthankful for it, so much as he considered it a little unexpected. As his upraised eyebrow slowly lowered, R'nya followed through with a small jerk of his chin, acknowledging the warning and letting the Weyrleader see he had done so with a small nod.
It was expected for a weyrmate to protect their partner, and it was not at all unusual for those of the male dragons to stand up for their usually more delicate female riding partner. R'nya was not at all surprised to hear that S'kef would spring to his mate's defence if required - or not required - and expected there would be no less response from any of the other mated pairs. Considering the number of pairs he had within his wing, the bronzerider was more worried about catfights from proddy greenriders and jealous blues and browns hissing over their shoulders at each other.
"Trust is earned." R'nya stated simply, when warned against J'ver. All of his riders were given a rudamentry level of trust, which was the type that required building upon of they wanted to get anywhere in his wing, if they wanted leeway or actual respect. He was prepared to trust them to care for their dragons but it was apparent he couldn't even trust the majority of them to show up on time, much less keep his - or one another's - back free of knives.
While R'nya was mildly curious as to what it was the greenrider in question had done to spark the Weyrleader's wariness, the young man didn't push or question, instead he simply looked thoughtfully into his wine glass. He already had some idea of whom in his wing would be definite trouble makers. J'ver hadn't been on that list, though he knew the greenrider could be particularly catty. He would keep an eye on him, to be safe, though. It was better to be prepared than to wake up with regrets.
"I will be cautious." An eyebrow arched up again, an indicator that R'nya meant that statement to cover all the particular members of his wing, not just those that D'ren had pointed out. He was not going to single out someone on the Weyrleader's say so; that would create a bias, not remove it. Instead, he would simply keep a harder eye on the lot of them.
[sup]Sorry. R'nya had nothing more to add but didn't want to dismiss himself >_>[/sup]
