Valerian wasn’t sure his words had any effect on the greenrider and had even started to worry the fury was going to be turned on him before B’jin seemed to relent. He said nothing on the insult toward Volfetti, not really knowing the woman enough to defend her and likely still wouldn’t even if they were on friendlier terms. B’jin had to vent in some way and despite him swearing and it being a bit shocking to the young bluerider, Valerian didn’t comment on that either. He simply gave a non-committal nod as if agreeing and returned to peeling his vegetables.
After several minutes of silence where Valerian focused intently on his peeling, only nicking a finger once instead of losing it entirely, he dared to speak again, with an entirely different and completely random topic. “Will you show me some basics for drawing? Talian’s office is bare and it needs some gifts but I don’t think stick figures and a scraggly tree count as art,” he had been close to asking about composing music since they shared a love of music but given the way both of their Harper careers had been cut short, Valerian suspected it wasn’t the best conversation turn after the insult against the children.
Veeth could barely contain his excitement when Larrikith came down from her perch to sit with him but gave another little chirp after all when she breathed on him and gave a little lick. He nuzzled his nose to her cheek in return and sat down, looking as regal and pristine as he could as her flattery washed over him. Do you really think so? I want to be the best blue Valerian could ever hope to have. He doesn’t apply himself much but he deserves better than what he often settles with. Veeth loved his human but he was going to have to work on getting Valerian to go after what he wanted a bit more. The quiet young man had plenty of arrogance and he wasn’t lacking in confidence in any area but he just didn’t have the drive to be a star. That was a shame because they both found the stars to be very pretty.
I think Valerian acts the strangest around B’jin. I’m not sure why though. He titled his head quizzically at Larrikith, hoping she had an answer to the unspoken question.
