As much as Kierjaarth might have been besotted with his new green companion, his current use of her as a pillow was his favorite. He had admittedly began to run out of words to say, and since Rajnith seemed to have too, he was more than happy to close his eyes and drift off to sleep again. It was still dark outside anyway, there was no reason that they should be awake anyway, and he was fully blaming Mi'rah's little nose injury for him having to be stirred from slumber in the first place. His rider was such an easy scapegoat...
Was it really so silly to be jealous of all of his competition? He didn't think so. Cr'oph was an ass and everyone knew it, but girls do like asses. Jazz was a girl but she was still better looking than him. G'tor might be into the Weyrwoman but... wait. He noticed the way she clapped a hand over her mouth and he just knew he was being let in on a little secret. Ohhhh how scandalous, he had heard something along these lines perhaps once before, but coming from Tenlie - whom he seemed to regard as nothing but honest and righteous - this seemed to be like the confirmation of a hard fact. The shame of it all being that he couldn't tell anyone. Awful.
"I won't tell anyone I swear..." it was a promise. Or at least he thought it was, he knew that if he were to ever see G'tor and Kaegan together he'd have to very consciously hide the amusement that would come to his face. Even if he was bad at telling jokes he was very aware of when a situation was funny.
He was truly blushing though by the time she had declared him as being something more than a friend. It was good to hear that even if he had nothing near a coherent answer in response to her, "Oh well...I don't think that you are not just my friend either..." he felt like his eyes crossed just trying to say that. So many double negatives...it was a wonder he didn't stutter and stumble his way into failure. Perhaps he had calmed some in her presence; the knowledge that she liked him soothed him enough that every other word didn't come out quite as butchered as in the public. As accustomed as he was to saying things in ways you didn't mean he was quick to shoot back at her, "Oh I see now. Not only are you trapping me here, but you bought me with that stargazer. I didn't realize until now how much of a slave you made me into."
"But I'd be lying if I wasn't looking forward to stargazing with you too, so it all works out now doesn't it?" So he was being sappy too, sue him, he liked sappy.
