R’nya’s blue eyes sparkled with amusement as he watched Peorray stalk off to collect berries, the bronzerider following her placidly before beginning the task of collecting his own without comment. As he had expected, every other few berries were diverted, finding their way into his mouth instead of into the basket where they belonged. Likely, he would wind up being scolded by Peorray, but the bronzerider was less than worried about such an event occurring. If she needed to get in his face in order to blow off some steam, than he was certainly prepared to be her punching bag; far better he, than one of the poor girls back in the Weyr proper!
“Aah,” his tone indicated that he had some idea which of the girl’s Peorray was upset with, and it only furthered his opinion that it was better she take her frustration out on him. He didn’t want her to blow up on the poor dears, especially if such an event would likely just end up with her even more frustrated and guilty to some extent over losing her temper. Far better they collect berries. R’nya put some more in his mouth, chewing thoughtfully as he allowed a couple to drop into his basket. It was considerably less full than his companion’s, but that was okay. If he ate all his, he would just steal hers.
You’re baiting her. The dragon sounded amused, and slightly surprised. I am, R’nya returned cheerfully, dropping four or five berries in his basket before picking some more, which he popped between his teeth one at a time. Berries were delicious, and he had a soft spot for them that he was amused had not been exploited yet. Though, considering how several of the girls were struggling to get their bubbly pies to come out edible, not necessarily a bad thing. Either they did not know, or they were loath to poison him.
R’nya sincerely hoped it was the later, and that they’d feed him delicious bubbly pies soon!They need the berries to make the pies. Xyreith pointed out drolly, to which R’nya laughed mentally. Then they won’t send angry girls and hungry bronzeriders to collect them! He nibbled on another berry, before dropping three more into his basket. He was not very good at this task at all! “Silence can be lovely,” R’nya replied lightly, an added bit of emphasis given mentally to make Xyreith bugger off to whatever it was the great bronze had been up to previously.
