Kahleena flushed crimson when Rhaedalyn exclaimed her name, the girl shrinking back with a look of shame as she lowered her eyes, wringing her hands anxiously in front of her stomach. Worriedly, her eyebrows drew together and she glanced up at Rhaedalyn anxiously, just as R’nya answered her, walking past them both and the girl froze in confusion, brown eyes blinking rapidly.
“Did he just say...?” She whispered softly to Rhaedalyn, apparently forgetting her worry at Rhaedalyn being upset with her as she turned to stare dramatically after R’nya with huge eyes. R’nya could skip? That was… when did he even learn to skip? Had R’nya ever been a child? She was having a lot of trouble imagining the stiff and proper man as a bright and happy child… or any kind of child. Kahleena was pretty sure R’nya had just appeared – like a dragon out of between – made ready for life. Xyreith too, probably!
“Flowers?” Kahleena asked, blinking as she was startled out of her thoughts and tilting her head in confusion. “Wh – oh!” Giggling and blushing again, Kahleena turned to look in the direction R’nya had just indicated with his typical expression. A moment later, the girl was trotting over to brush her fingers over the petals, smiling as their light scent burst into the breeze at the action and she dropped gently to her knees, choosing the ones that looked the prettiest, and carefully using a small blade to cut them free from the rest of the plant.
When she had a few, Kahleena rose to her feet once more, and carefully brushed her skirts off, cradling the plants in her arms. Moving back to R’nya, whom she considered thoughtfully the entire way, Kahleena carefully arranged the flowers she had collected in the basket, before stepping away again, still frowning slightly. R’nya could skip?!
