R’nd laughed, thoroughly enjoying himself even as toes were threatened by boots and when he was dragged off for dessert. He respected T’bia’s interest in the sweets since it seemed to match that of his own and it was a rare few that could handle the level he could. B’jin enjoyed sweets as well and that was simply one more positive in the man’s favour. As T’bia ran ahead and bounced off classmates, R’nd’s mind wandered towards setting up another dessert date with the greenrider where they sampled the collection of delicious treats he was able to procure through a smile.
With that wonderful thought in mind, R’nd grabbed a couple of plates from the end of the table and made his way over to T’bia in time to have the young bluerider slam into him and fall to the floor. R’nd held his footing, whether it was from too much time around T’bia increasing his stability or some other random factor, and frowned down at T’bia in concern before crouching down with a soft smile. “You okay, T’bia? My brother always said I had a hard head and could be a bit of a wall when I wanted to be but my sister would counter it with saying I had a soft heart so nothing else anyone said mattered.” He rarely talked about his family and it felt odd doing so then but at the same time it felt natural to give T’bia the fun tidbit of his past. The little graduate seemed to blossom a little bit more when things had a bit more of a personal touch to them than just a lecture or passing concern.
Offering a hand to T’bia while the other balanced the plates, R’nd got them both back on their feet. A quick brush to T’bia’s shoulder was given to straighten the knots and R’nd was soon flashing a larger smile and passing over a plate. “People won’t notice how many we eat if we pile up the plates and sneak off to the side.”
