Mulrissa waved her hand in response to T’ryn’s thanks, brushing off the idea he was being a bother. “It’s no trouble. Samara offered to bring me dinner anyway, and bringing a second helping wasn’t any hassle for her. Gave her a chance to be nosy and tease me, and that’s enough repayment for her. I do not, however, envy you,” she continued, adding food to her plate as she spoke, “I get enough teasing from B’jin as it is, I can’t imagine how much more teasing he gives you. Tell him and your father I say hello, by the way.” She’d probably run into one or both of them sooner or later, but it wouldn’t do to have the pair think she was avoiding them. The embarrassment of the situation had hit her a lot more strongly the turn before, but apparently she didn't care nearly so much anymore. How times change. Should she be concerned that she cared less? Hmn.
T’ryn’s question was so awkwardly earnest Rissa couldn’t help but to laugh, though she tried to cover it a little with her hand. “There really is no good way to ask. I have a friend who, before she was mated, used to ask her dragonrider partners for baby name ideas if they didn’t offer her a ride.” She shook her head fondly, always amused by her friend’s antics. An effective tactic, if her stories and lack of children before she was mated were anything to go by. “It is very polite of you to offer, no matter how bluntly. I have no issue with tonight, or tomorrow. Depends on whether Syrendryth wants to bring us just now or not. If either of you prefer, tomorrow is also fine. You can get some more meat from the kitchens when there are more people around to make it fresh in the same trip, perhaps. Whichever you prefer, I don’t exactly have any plans tonight or tomorrow. Cleared the whole week for Bedith.” Her eyes twinkled mischievously, and she grinned at T’ryn. “I think your dad may kill me if I were to threaten him with grandkids just yet, so the offer is appreciated.”
