While B’jin’s gaze was focused solely on the baby firelizard, his mind was quite a distance away as he went over a million and one things – from actually important things, to really unimportant things, to the completely random and bizarre. The woes of a greenrider-harper’s mind; Larrikith watched his thoughts flutter around with amusement, before she became aware of the young woman approaching B’jin, and alerted him to the girl.
The greenrider’s brown eyes blinked, then shifted to look up at the girl that was creeping closer to him. A slightly amused, but warm, smile flickered over his lips in encouragement though curiosity fuelled the eyes that were now focused on the girl. Shimmer, realising she was no longer the centre of her human’s attention, sighed softly before climbing up his arm to curl against the crook of his neck on his shoulder. The tiny firelizard fell asleep quickly, but B’jin seemed oblivious to her as Nevani finally found it within her to speak.
“Of course,” B’jin nodded slightly to follow up the words, before indicating with one hand that she should sit herself down so they could have a proper conversation, without one of them towering over the other. While B’jin was disinclined to be afraid of women, he was inclined to easily feel trapped. Such thoughts and feelings were far from apparent in the man’s posture or actions, and even his own thoughts – subconscious processes designed to keep his own hide safe, really.
She’s not one of your candidates, Larrikith yawned in the back of B’jin’s mind, blinking owlishly from where she was curled up outside.
No, she isn’t. Which only made the greenrider that much more curious to see why she’d approach him.
