It was well after dark by the time B'jin had managed to stumble away from the location of his unintended flight with D'hys, and all the way back to the Weyr proper. The greenrider was clothed, but miserable, as he skirted the outside of the main buildings and slunk his way towards the bathhouse. D'hys had been particulary courteous, and over all B'jin was not displeased with the bluerider's attention; he wasn't hurt or suffering visible marks, his clothing was almost entierly in one piece, and while he had tried to put his shoes on the wrong feet in the beginning (he had been woozy still!) they were on the correct feet now.
As he entered the main population, B'jin detoured to the Weyrling Barracks, and nipped into his own room. While rarely used, particularly now that the Weyrlings were out and about and had their own huts, it did still claim most of B'jin's items (honestly, it was simply the majority that hadn't managed to get left at R'nd's yet) and he gathered up some fresh clothes, before slipping back out. He nodded to one of the more recent weyrlings as he passed the boy, before making it outside and beelining for the bathhouse. A bath was needed, desperately, before B'jin would sulk his way over to R'nd's and curl up to sulk more until the bluerider he adored came home.
Slipping inside the main entrance, B'jin stepped aside for a pair that were leaving, and then ducked into an emptied room. Steam was still clotted around the roof, and lingering in the corners. The floor was wet; the pair had likely just abandoned it, since none of the women assigned to cleaning had made it in yet. Clearly. B'jin dumped his things on a dry bench top and then kicked the messed clothing and towels out the door, and then shut it firmly. He slid the lock across so no one could join him, and shimmied out of his clothing as he walked towards the bath tub, toppling in it with very little grace.
Thanks to the water system the Katilans used, the bath was both hot and clean and B'jin sank down under the water, keeping just barely enough of his face above to stay alive. Luckily, the flight with D'hys wasn't quite bad enough to make him feel like drowning himself would be a good idea. It was not R'nd, though, and so the grimy feeling needed to be scrubbed off, and the scent of the other bluerider washed away. He felt so dirty! Nose scrunching up, B'jin moved to stand, twisting around in the process and then froze dramatically when he saw a blue firelizard perched on the edge of the tub, staring at him. B'jin pulled his knees up without thinking.
"Rell," the name was spoken mildly with only a hint of disproval as he stared back at the firelizard. Was the firelizard looking for him for R'nd, or was he supposed to follow the little flitter to his lover? B'jin's lips pursed slightly and he flicked water on the firelizard's nose. "He can come here." Whether or not that was the intetnion mattered not to B'jin; he wasn't getting out until he'd scrubbed off at least three layers of skin. If R'nd wanted to help, all the better. The door was still locked though. B'jin turned to frown at it for a moment, then looked back to see the firelizard was gone. B'jin huffed a sigh and scrambled out of the bath, wrapping his unclean shirt around his waist as he trudged to the door; he wasn't going to sully a perfectly clean towel with his not-yet-scrubbed self!
B'jin opened the door just slightly, and poked his nose out, water dripping off his face as he peered down the hall suspiciously until he spotted R'nd. Brown eyes lit up, but he didn't quite smile.
