“That’s good!” Madiquel said, visibly relieved as she puffed out a breath she hadn’t realised she’d been holding, and looked at Rhaedalyn with wide eyed relief. Her gaze darted to the girls when they were scolded by Rhaedalyn, and she hid a smile behind her free hand, refusing to meet anyone’s eye lest she lose the battle with withholding the laughter. It was one thing to be amused, and she often wasn’t afraid of letting Rhaedalyn or R’nya know when she was amused by the antics of the not-twin-twins, but she didn’t like the little girls knowing their naughtiness was found so funny by someone they looked up to. She could only imagine the antics they’d get up to if they knew how funny they were!
“Here, you can have some of mine,” Madiquel told Varlea, who was pouting at having to give Alyren her grapes back. They all knew Varlea didn’t really like grapes, but now she was going to have to eat the ones Madiquel gave her; the elder girl tilted her head so she could toss a playful wink at Rhaedalyn. Madiquel wasn’t one to tease often, but she found it great fun to innocently mess with the two younger girls. There was a high probability the grapes would find themselves back on her own plate, but that was fine – Madiquel quite liked them!
Madiquel took a sip of her watery wine, holding the cup between both hands, her plate resting on her lap as she frowned into the liquid. “What are they doing with all the people?” Madiquel asked, looking up with a deep frown. With the Holds being destroyed, there must have been a lot of people who were being hurt and then, even if they weren’t, where were all those people going? “What about the animals?” She asked suddenly, her face paling and eyes going wide. Were the dragonriders trying to save the animals, or were they being burned, or were they let loose to run for their lives? Madiquel bit her bottom lip, suddenly tearful.
