R'dare gave a sheepish laugh as he ran a hand through his hair. He didn't really embarrass easily, especially not over something he'd been doing since he was a kid. It wasn't his fault his head and feet weren't always on the same page and it created interesting results. "Yeah, but that's why I have Daisy," he waved a hand in his dragon's direction, using the playful nickname the blue tolerated most of the time.
I think we're both lucky it's not contagious or we'd be walking everywhere, Kadaisicalth replied back, the smirk quite audible in his words, as he made sure to include Madiquel in the conversation.
"Ouch," R'dare placed a hand over his heart in mock pain before grinning and flopping down beside Madiquel. Clover seemed quite content where she was so he didn't try to tempt her over to his lap but instead rubbed a finger under her chin in greeting. He didn't have his own firelizard, though he had been offered one. At the time, his parents didn't think he had the attention span to take care of one, which was kind of the point of having one before Impressing to a dragon. R'dare didn't mind though; enough of his friends had them so he helped out here and there and he'd always helped look after his dad's dragon when it came time to bathing and oiling so it wasn't like he was completely blind to the challenges of being a dragonrider.
"You missed R'dal. He was here earlier as well but having a dad for Weyrleader puts a damper on lazy day activities, I guess, even if we're not a part of his Weyr. He didn't tell me but I think he actually got stuck playing baby-sitter for his new little sister," R'dare knew he was something of an anomaly given that his parents had stayed together for so long and he only had one sister and didn't seem to have any half-siblings running around. He wondered what it was like for T'ryn, having so many siblings thanks to his dad and R'nd not even knowing about most of them. He thought it was pretty cool of R'dal to help out when he was visiting his dad, though he wondered how much of that time baby-sitting was spent having mutual nap times.
"Do you have any plans for the rest of the day?" If he could get away with it, R'dare was happy to stay right where he was until evening meal, and even then that was debatable if he'd make it.
