The image of R’nd learning he was to be a grandfather was certainly an amusing one, though Rissa could understand why T’ryn might not want to deal with it. Certainly an awkward conversation, and if T’ryn wasn’t willing to have it, he probably shouldn’t be having children. As long as not wanting to tell R’nd didn’t keep him from having kids when he actually wanted them…
“Not a bad reminder, no. Just don’t let worrying about his reaction stop you if the day comes that you want children, all right? He’ll deal, and be happy for you, once he’s finished panicking about being old,” she said, not wanting him to think his father’s opinion should affect his choices about what to do with his life. R’nd was a lot better than her own father in so many ways, but Mulrissa got the impression that he wasn’t the most self-confident bronzerider in the Weyrs, and may try too hard to please his dad. Just a feeling she had.
Rissa smiled as T’ryn described poor Mylorah having to deal with B’jin — most likely at family events, so he was almost certainly at least tipsy if not drunk — teasing her. At least it let her know she was part of the family? R’nd had told her about Mylorah not that long ago, and while Mulrissa was not fully up to date on the situation, she was aware Mylorah was R’nd’s most recently discovered child. Honestly, did he have at least one per turn between when the dragonriders reunited and getting together with B’jin? She sometimes wondered.
“Morning is fine with me,” she told T’ryn with a nod of agreement. Bedith had grumbled a little at the idea of her bronze leaving just yet, so it was good Syrendryth didn't want to leave yet either. Mulrissa didn’t want to deal with a pissy Bedith if she didn’t have to. “And I don’t have anything that can’t be put off or done by someone else. I think I would prefer not to leave Bedith alone for long enough to have a proper shopping trip. Something quick would be best, I think. Though I truly appreciate the offer and may take you up on that in a month or two. Bedith gets very mellow the closer she is to Clutching, it seems, so she likely won’t mind at all then.” It still surprised Rissa how calm Bedith became in the month or two before Clutching. She was usually so quick to snap at the slightest perceived insult, but the turn before, by the time they got to the week before she Clutched she barely reacted to things that would usually have her in an outrage. Gold dragons were odd, but Rissa wasn’t going to complain. Her gold could have gone the other other way and gotten even more twitchy and ready to bitch at everyone and everything; oddly mellow was much preferable.
It really was sweet of T’ryn to offer, because she would be without the easy convenience of jumping on her dragon and going wherever she needed to go for a while. Not that Mulrissa was overly prone to travel, but she went to Telgar Hold often enough, and some of the other Holds as well. But she hadn’t found anything that had been broken in the Flight that couldn’t be replaced by a quick trip to the storeroom, so for the time being a Hold shopping trip was a luxury she could put off. Though if she thought of anything, perhaps she could ask T’ryn if he’d mind grabbing it for her. Might make him feel helpful, which he seemed to want to be.
