Date: month 2, day 1 of Turn 4

The morning was quiet and only a candlemark past dawn, but Jenasie was up, with Chino nipping on her ear and flying back and forth between the door of her room it was hard to remain asleep. She gave the flit an evil look; he couldn't be hungry already, could he? It wasn't possible. She sighed and got up anyway, pulling back on her cloths from last night, she'd wash later. Her gaze caught sight of the dragonrider in her bed and she gave a smile, last night _was_ a night to remember. She brushed her fingers through his dark curly hair before making for the door.

Once open the flit shot out, "You know I have the right mind to shut the door on you..." she spoke softly regarding the firelizard's behavior.

"Now that wouldn't be very nice," came an amused tone.

Jenasie turned to face who'd spoken and nearly squealed with joy. ~~Az'uka~~
the flit informed her and she shot it a look, "You could have told me sooner," she half snapped at the flit. She was bubbling with questions to ask her brother, but bear hugged him "I've missed you so much."

X'amor had barely noticed Jen's movements as she got out of bed but her absence had been startlingly apparent. The bluerider had had a horrible dream. He had envisioned many faces around him, faces of people he had or was involved with, all of them keeping him from reaching Jenasie. He had called out her name, and she had turned to look at him. He had been shocked by the look on her face of sadness, confusion and anger, all mixed together.
He had woken up right after she had broken down into tears.

Then he heard the voices. A man's voice, and Jen's, **She missed this person?** He flung off the sheets in confusion, anger rising at a surprisingly alarming rate. He opened the door the voices had come from and starred at what he had feared. "Jen..." he whispered pleadingly, hoping he wasn't seeing what he thought he was.

Az'uka hugged his sister back a playful grin on his face as he remembered all the times they had spent together. His eyebrow raised as the other man walk out of his sister's sleeping quarters. **Must be X'amor** his mind rationalized. Jenasie had spoken of him in her last letter.

The dolphineer heard her voice and turned, still half in Az'uka's protective embrace to see X'amor was up. She flashed him a smile, "Morning sleepy head"
she joked having been woken up before him. She gave Az'uka's arm a tap that seemed to say, you can let go now and the dragonrider complied, after giving her a quick bear hug of his own. It was only as she let her go that Jenasie caught the pleading tone in X'amor's voice. "X'amor...I can explain..."
where the words that started to come from her mouth.

X'amor shook his head, and put his hand up to stop her. "Don't," he said forcefully. How many times had he heard some story climax with one of the characters saying that after they had been caught cheating on the main character. "Just don't." He lowered his hand and looked at the other rider, "Got something for blueriders?" he said scornfully. He shocked himself at the hurtful words but didn't apologize. **I thought it was only me...I thought we had something...** he could only find one word, **special.**

He had already put his pants on and luckily his shirt was next to the door, it had come off rather quickly that night. **Did she not mean the things she said, the words she whispered, the love I felt in my name as she moaned it?** He shook his head as he looked at her once more, the charcoal in his eyes hard, the amber simmering with his anger and frustration. X'amor didn't know what to say so he just kept quiet as he brushed past the woman he loved and the man, whom he didn't even know or recognize from the Weyr, that he hated.

"Don't?" Jenasie sputtered, "Don't what? Love you?" She paused her way to wording the words of an explanation. "You don't under stand X'amor, I don't have a thing for blueriders," She was slight frustrated as the dragonrider she loved began to walk off, ignoring her "X'amor!" She half yelled trying to get the riders attention.

Az'uka had let him pass, not entirely sure what the man who his sister was in love with was thinking, it was only when he had heard his words that things began to slide into place. He turned his blue eyes after the fellow rider. While he did not know the man personally he knew he was a dragonrider, after all Jenaise had told him and the fellow blue rider had half admitted it. "Its not what it looks like X'amor" He called after the rider's turned back, using a tone that was measured.

But X'amor had blocked them out, he had turned inward as he tried to figure out why Jenasie would have slept with another man, and then why he had any right to be angry when he had slept with someone else as well. All he could feel confusion and disgust.

"X'amor!" Jenasise called again, taking a few steps after the bluerider, but was stopped when Az'uka grabbed her shoulder.

"Steady, there's no need for you to run after a dragonrider with a temper, Jenasie" He said lightly, clearly concerned.

"But, you don't understand, I _love_ him." Came the dolphineer's reply. "He wouldn't even let me explain" she said with a snap of anger **how could X'amor not understand?!** She was verging on tears nad Az'uka bundled her into his arms.

"Shh... you should go find something else to do for a while, let him calm down" came the very rare idea of taking command of a scene off Az'uka's lips. **Nilzuth, keep and eye on X'amor, I want to be able to find him.**

}: You sure that's wise? :{ the dragon questioned back with his usual level-headed nature.

**We both have some explaining to do** was the only answer the rider offered his life partner.
