They had done it!
R’nd was only an unofficial and part time assistant but he was so proud of the class as a whole and one pair in particular. Everyone had worked hard to get where they were that day and despite the struggles some had had throughout the months, no one had worked harder than the dopey little blue weyrling that was now an official bluerider. T’bia may have started out being known for his question about browns and blues flying each other but R’nd knew him for a hard worker that was determined. The poor kid seemed like he had to prove himself to the entire world in his quest to graduate and it tugged at R’nd’s heart more than he ever let on. It was why after the first few classes that seemed to drag on forever that earned B’jin many pouts R’nd started to really concentrate on helping the kid.
He smiled brightly back at T’bia when he received his knots and everything they worked together on was recognized. R’nd had been excited the night before, something B’jin had noticed and poked gentle fun at but how could he not be? Their kids were graduating! The babies were growing up and so many beautiful hides had come out of it.Mine is still better than any of those other blues. R’nd couldn’t stop the snicker that his dragon’s haughty comment brought out but he agreed – mostly. Ayyonth’s hide was beautiful and absolutely perfect for them.
Once all the knots had been given out, R’nd said a few more words of congratulations to several of the class members before heading over to his favourite little bluerider.
He grabbed the vacant seat beside T’bia and made to sneakily grab the knots. “They look even better when you’re wearing them, T’bia.” R’nd was proudly wearing his own bluerider knots and couldn’t fathom why T’bia wasn’t already donning his and proudly showing them off.
