Bouncing to a stop at their table, he nodded to the two firelizards who greeted his return with short series chirps and whistles. He draped the robe over his sister’s chair as he scanned the floor for the pair, and finding them, smiled.
This was good. No matter what the next day, sevenday, month, or turn may bring. This moment, right here, right now, was good.
Pulling his own chair out, he turned it and stepped up to sit on the backrest, feet on the seat, to allow himself his height to watch the dance floor but still allowing himself to rest. Ryn was leaning against her friend, and the two were swaying to the light, airy music. His sister was happy. And nothing could take that away right now. He watched the two, memorizing every detail of expression and movement, and hoped to hang onto this happy moment forever. It was certainly one to hang onto.
With a small laugh, he realized that, by extension, R’dal was family now, too. Ryn clearly thought of him as such. Guess this little family reunion included more than he had expected.
“What do you think, boys?” He turned to look at the two firelizards, who trilled in response. “Same. It is good.”
