R’nd watched the unfolding of the events with a cautious and alert eye. He wasn’t too impressed with the declaration, knowing how important graduation had been to him and finally shedding the old life and name of Orwind so he could feel Valerian’s frustration and pain but he wouldn’t have risked going against S’kef. It wasn’t so much that he was afraid of the man given the tangling he’d had in the past already but he didn’t want that particular label on him forever. He’d always be watched by J’ver and S’kef and the paranoia would become quite annoying! R’nd didn’t like the idea of stressing B’jin either. B’run was foolish to think his words would sway S’kef in any way but when R’ana stepped into the picture, it was clear that there was something between those two and R’nd could understand doing stupid things for those you cared for.
Still, it was foolish and R’nd finally looked away when the small group was escorted away. He knew there would be a lashing and R’nd had seen enough of those from B’jin’s experience to last him a life time or more. They weren’t enjoyable to witness and they brought back memories and a fear for the greenrider after the man had fainted and R’nd really didn’t want to revisit that. Although, he had to admit his ‘fellis soup’ was something to laugh about – though not around Talian since that had earned him a lengthy lecture about the potency.
When Rhaedalyn requested some songs to dance to and B’jin seeming to love the idea, R’nd’s festive mood returned and he wandered a bit closer to the stage to find a dance partner. The young woman who had asked for the music was the obvious choice but R’nd wasn’t sure if Rhaedalyn would be able to handle such an activity given their recent past. She was an imaginative woman that seemed the sort to faint at the touch of his hand to her waist. He might catch up with her later on all the same but for now, he veered for the newest goldrider. “My lady, may I have this dance?” A hand was offered to Kahleena and a dashing smile accompanied his words. He didn’t know too much about her since she seemed immune to his flirting and was rather shy but she seemed eager to dance and that was all he needed to know!
