As usual, R’nd didn’t let T’bia’s protests deter either of them from trying. It had been a bit frustrating early on but that was also due to B’jin throwing him into assisting with classes and then being unsure of what to do with the kid that needed a little extra help. Most of the time R’nd had shown up to help unofficially had been to focus solely on getting T’bia’s confidence up and to help him match pace with the rest of the class that was advancing at a quicker pace than the blue weyrling. It had been a long journey and at times it was definitely uphill but R’nd never gave up on the boy and the end result was worth it.
Dancing wasn’t a requirement for being an amazing dragonrider but R’nd liked to think a bluerider definitely needed to be able to bust out a few moves. Not only was it fun but he believed it could help in flights with making the rider light on his feet during his end of the chase. The main thing, however, was the fact that it was fun and T’bia deserved to smile and enjoy himself. “When you stop thinking about the rhythm, you’ll find it. But so long as you’re having fun, it doesn’t matter if you’re slightly off.” If the kid ever got himself drunk at a gathering, it really wouldn’t matter if he found the beat or not since he would have let loose and found the fun in everything that night anyway.
R’nd continued to guide T’bia through the remainder of the song and into the next before spinning the new bluerider around to encourage him to try more on his own. “Although, when you’re dancing with someone special, everything I just taught you will be forgotten as you move in time with them and nothing else matters.” There had been more than one occasion where he was completely wrapped up in his partner on the floor and nothing outside of that person mattered. Some of his friends liked to point out the most famous one of all at a graduation where he ended up making out with B’jin while dancing and had to be encouraged to go find a private room. Good thing B’jin hadn’t been all that sober or the greenrider may have died of embarrassment!
“One more song and then let’s go see what they have for celebratory desserts,” R’nd’s eyes twinkled with excitement at the idea. He had a weakness for sweets and hoped there would be a few varieties of cakes that he could dig into.
