J'zek didn't turn or look up at the rustle of movement on the edge of the pool. Whoever it was he wanted them to know they'd only gain his attention when he was ready and willing to give it. Besides Sirbuth had already informed him that the rider who'd approached didn't look like much of a threat, passing along the mental image of a slender and dark haired man who was obviously at a physical disadvantage when compared with J'sek. The bronze rider smirked at his dragon's quick assessment and pleased by his confidence in his rider's abilities. It had been pleasing to find out that they were of a similar opinion about most things. Jes knew he would have had trouble dealing with a lifemate who was a lovey dovey, social butterfly.
He waited just long enough after the man's greeting to make it obvious that he didn't need to converse with him, but had decided to anyway. Giving the spot of hide he'd been rubbing a final swipe he finally gave the other man his attention, his upper lip curling in disgust as the rider stripped off his clothes without any sense of how to behave decently. Jes knew he'd have to get use to such things eventually, but that didn't mean he had to be gracious about it. Not that he expected aGreenrider to behave like anything other than the whores they obviously were. The fact that he'd eventually end up having to bed one in the future was disgusting, and he stomped down the thought as quickly as it came. He still had a while before Sirbuth reached an age when he'd have to endure such things.
"Afternoon." J'zek answered, focusing back on Sirbuth's hide as the man slipped into the water on the opposite side of the pool. A wise decision since the young Bronze was unlikely to tolerate the close proximity of a rider so obviously inferior to his own. Jes didn't bother hiding a pleased smirk as he scrubbed his dragon's hide, glad that the Bronze was already such a good judge of character and rank. As a Bronze it was important he knew how to hold himself to a higher standard than those lesser dragons. J'zek worked in silence for a few moments before glancing back at the Greenrider.
There weren't that many living at Katila and even with Sirbuth to keep him busy J'zek knew this man was not one of the faces he normally saw and quickly decided he must have been visiting from Telgar. He was a little envious since he was trapped in the South until Sirbuth was old enough to make the trip North. He'd be glad for the day when he could turn his back on the humid cesspool he was currently forced to reside in. "I haven't seen you around before. You one of the riders from Telgar?" He couldn't imagine what would make someone return South, but then again water did tend to seek its own level. Sirbuth lifted a wing so J'zek could scrub beneath in, having dismissed the older man as being to far beneath him to bother giving him any further attention.
