Tychon kept his eyes on Naira as she picked up the firestone, an insufferable smile on his face. He wouldn't even dodge if she wanted to hit him!
Tychon, came Ezanath's gentle voice. Such an injury would not be like being harmed at sea while trying to traverse the waters which are always trying to buck you off their back. It would be as a fish taunting a flock of gulls, believing itself safe simply because it is beneath the waves.
Are you trying to say I shouldn't taunt them? he asked, bristling a little. This was what he was like! She'd known that, she'd picked him, if she didn't like it, she should've picked someone else!
But Eza sent a wave of calm his way, turning to him, her eyes swirling with mischief. Not at all. I'm saying that if you feel you must taunt them, do so as the single crow taunts the hawk before luring it back to his flock who proceed to mob the hawk en masse.
Tychon grinned widely. "Have I told you that you're perfect?" he asked her aloud.
Not today yet, she told him teasingly, turning her attentions back to her flowers and bugs.
He turned back to the exercise, but turned back when Naira raised her voice deliberately. He shrugged. "Hey, a win's a win," he called. "A guy can insist he let me win until he's blue in the face, but to prove it he'd have to fight me again, at which point he might as well have just beat me in the first place. Waste of time, otherwise."
Tychon gave an exaggerated sigh at E'nel's taunt. "I am currently living a celibate life, sadly, as are the rest of you, but if I wasn't..." He gave a laviscious grin. "You'd be surprised how many men like playing nursemaid." Treating someone else's injuries could be quite an intimate exercise, after all. Tychon started recalling some of his own experiences with that, caught himself, and instead started recreating star charts in his head to try and shove that out of his mind. Celibate. He was being celibate. Faranth, he couldn't wait until Ezanath started rising and he could get back to business as usual...
