Arddra studied the dragonrider, noting he was relax and his posture didn't speak of belligerence or in any way threatening. So far V'riy had spoke gently towards her and showed only kindness. He wasn't the first dragonrider to be nice but that other one was quick to start flirting with her. At the time that was the last thing she was interested.
She wasn't that interested either...being forced once was traumatic and made it even more difficult to trust these Dragonriders. But that one was a blue rider, D'hys she learned his name was at some point since then and pointedly avoided him.
When V'riy told her Morith appreciated her cleaning his wallow Arddra looked up at the great bronze and smiled. "I was glad to do it, it felt good to do something kind for him..."
At V'riy's invite to stay for dinner her eyes shot to regard him. Her first response was to say no, that she had taken too much of his time and other excuses. She then remembered past conversations with fellow Candidates and weryfolk. Even the discussion with Bordtai and Nellaris about how dragonriders were criminals. She knew some were, in her mind anyway. But she was basing it on her own experiences and a few incidents which occurred while she was here. They certainly had disagreements and there was or maybe still is, a rebel faction who disagreed with current policies. At least the kidnapping of Northerners, like her, stopped not long after she was taken.
Arddra shifted her weight from one foot to the other as she tried to decide. On one hand she didn't want to offend V'riy but her nervousness and distrust of dragonriders in general warred with other issues inside. Finally her hunger made the decision for her as her stomach chose that time to growl.
Blushing at the sound, Arddra couldn't help but smile as well. "I...yes, I will like that very much. You are much...nicer than most dragonriders I have met."
