See, she probably even thinks it was flirting. She just said she likes the sound of a back rub, that's all. Mhm... if you say so. I'm not sure she's good enough for you anyway, if all she does is run about. Too boring. D'nei managed to stifle a groan, instead focusing on his breathing and the run and trying not to let his cheeks get more red than the cold could account for.
At least they were soon back on a familiar road and headed back. He could look forward to puttering about the medical stores, checking counts and updating numbers in books, alerting people to possible shortages, and trying to make sure the oldest supplies were at the front of the shelves. D'nei was brought back to the immediate reality as their run came to an end and he paused to rest his hands on his knees as he caught his breath and then stretched and shook himself.
D'nei turned to his running companion, unable to keep himself from smiling. "I'll try and find you when I'm free so we can try and schedule some time for that. Just remember I'm probably really quite terrible." He hadn't even gone dancing with Keavos back when they were together, had only ever watched the lord's brother dancing and mingling with others at parties while he quietly looked on. He did hope the man was doing well.
"Right, it was wonderful to meet you but I should go get ready and go get some work done. I look forward to seeing you again sometime, Aederyn!" He gave her a quick and hasty wave, fighting the urge to blush again as he turned and jogged off towards his weyr. You could have done better than that. I thought you didn't think she was good enough in the first place. That doesn't mean you couldn't do better. Please drop it for now. Fine, fine...
