Ce'lie sighed with relief. At the very least, I'shan was taking her at her word and she again felt feelings of gratitude toward the bluerider. Their conversation, while stressful, was turning out to be better than she had expected. Not only was he not sneering at her for her irrational fear of the dark, he also seemed to be almost.. genuinely concerned for her welfare.
She did see him glance at the doorway a few times, looking between her and the exit as if he might leave, but he must have decided against it. Ce'lie was glad. The most important thing she wanted to come out of this conversation was that the two of them would be comfortable around each other. Isharyn was getting old enough that he was sure to notice the strain between the two of them if they didn't put it to bed.
"Your mother?" she said, peering at him with interest. "Was she a dragonrider?" Ce'lie didn't know a thing about the man who had fathered her only son and she found that she was interested to learn about him. She caught his grimace and frowned at him, worried. "…Are you ok? We don't have to talk about her if you don't want to. I'm just… curious."
