R’nd didn’t say anything when asked about why it was only greenriders hanging out together since it was obvious by the faces T’bia was pulling that Jycenth was adding his own opinion. The following statement earned a faint smile and a nod as R’nd forgot about previous restrictions he had placed on himself and tossed an arm around his young friend. “It is but it’s also wonderful and rewarding. Look at everything you’ve accomplished in just over a turn and with a charming dragon that found something amazing in you.” R’nd had always had confidence – though it did sometimes flag under pressure of certain circumstances – but to have a dragon want him had been the ultimate form of praise in his mind.
The naughty giggle that came a moment later was a bit startling but the implications T’bia managed to shove into his question was impressive and shocking. T’bia wasn’t the sort to say such things, at least not without a blush or complete innocence as the conversation went over his head. R’nd could do nothing but laugh along with the giggles T’bia kept producing and finally nodded. “I’ve won flights with four of them in that group. Three of them I’ve been with outside of flights. One is a classmate of mine and finally, B’jin turned two of them from casual acquaintances into slightly better friends for me.” If T’bia was counting, he would have realised R’nd tallied up ten instead of the six that B’jin was surrounded by but he wanted to keep the young bluerider on his toes and wondering which men overlapped in categories.
“I’ll introduce you to a couple of them later,” R’nd teased with a naughty grin. He wouldn’t really, not in the way he was implying at least, since while they were all good guys, R’nd wasn’t sure T’bia was ready to handle any of them. If he was going to play matchmaker for his friend, he’d have to find someone a bit more gentle and patient.
