“Okay,” F’drel said with a nod, already planning on getting one of the extra blankets from the closet and leaving it within reach of A’tay. He may not want a blanket now, but that was no guarantee he wouldn’t want one at some point. Easier to just leave it there for him.
“Halomirth doesn’t kick anyone out,” he informed A’tay, slowly standing up and heading towards the closet, “not until she feels she’s snuggled them sufficiently. Xyxyth may be stuck here a while.” F’drel reached the closet and pulled out one of the loosely woven cotton blankets he’d gotten to throw over himself when R’dal came over and they wanted to spend time on the ledge with the dragons in less than ideal weather. It was used to the floor.
“Just in case,” he said, leaving it an arm’s reach from A’tay if the teen stretched. Not too close to seem like he was forcing A’tay to use the blanket, but not far enough to be inconvenient to grab if wanted. “You can stay as long as you need, it’s no bother for me. Don’t force yourself to leave just because you think you’re inconveniencing me, all right? You’re not.” F’drel said the last bit gently but firmly, making sure A’tay got the message. He’d ask Halomirth to check in with Xyxyth too, make sure A’tay wasn’t leaving when he really shouldn’t be. Kid deserved to rest for an hour or six. It didn’t matter to F’drel, his weyr would be open to A’tay as long as he needed it. Blanket and encouragement to rest given, F’drel left the room and quietly shut the door behind him, giving A’tay the space he almost certainly needed.
