R’nd didn’t really know how to feel embarrassed since he never saw his actions and words as something to be ashamed of but right then, being asked to read aloud something he had spent too many hours writing, he was thankful he didn’t have the ability to blush. V’ler had already read what was on the paper and seemed to like it as well but what if he read it incorrectly to how the Harper had? Just because he had penned it didn’t mean R’nd was great with rhythm and timing. After all, V’ler had said it needed some fine-tuning. With a frown, R’nd nodded and grabbed the paper from his fellow bluerider and stood up. V’ler had pointed out that everything sounded more crisp and clear when standing and breathing was cleaner as well.
One breath, and then another, and finally R’nd was ready. “The biggest lie you ever told, your deepest fear 'bout growin' old. The longest night you ever spent, the angriest letter you never sent. The boy you swore you'd never leave, the one you kissed on New Year’s Eve. The sweetest dream you had last night, your darkest hour, your hardest fight.” R’nd didn’t realize he was doing it, but some words were stretched out a bit more like a song was ready to burst from his mouth. If he had looked up, he would have seen V’ler nodding in surprised approval.
“I wanna take my time, I wanna know your mind. You know there ain't no doubt, I wanna know you inside out.” Personally, R’nd thought the chorus was a bit too bold but V’ler had told him to write about something important to him or something he knew well. B’jin had become extremely important to the bluerider and R’nd , while afraid to actually ask his questions, really did want to know everything he could about his lover. So the questions were put to paper and somehow the lessons about rhyming were remembered and he made it kind of work.
“What makes you laugh, what makes you cry? What makes you mad, what gets you by?” R’nd always wanted to be the bright spot in B’jin’s day and wanted to know how to keep the greenrider happy and how to cheer him up from the darker days that still gripped everyone no matter the efforts.
With the last line read, R’nd stared at the words without seeing them for several seconds before looking up to see how he would be judged.
R'nd's poem is actually Bryan Adams' wonderful song 'Inside Out'. Youtube that! The video is strange though.
