Oh, she should have known, she should have remembered how easily upset Rhaedalyn was when she felt ignored by the dragons! It was such a tender topic, and one Kahleena felt she could understand with some ability; her poor friend had been bypassed by two beautiful golden dragonets, and how was one to feel about that, except as a failure? It didn’t help that Kahleena knew that was how Rhaedalyn viewed the ordeal, because Kahleena had feel that way, too, when Krypth had chosen Jada instead of her. In hindsight, she was relieved – Krypth flew so often! – and the dragon was not at all of a personality Kahleena could ever envision having to live with. Okalinath was so perfect for her – but that was something that took Impression to understand, and one day Rhaedalyn would, Kahleena just knew it!
But until that day, how could she be such a terribly careless friend as to forget how tender the lovely Rhaedalyn could be? Okalinath usually included the other girl in the things she said when they were sharing one another’s company, and Kahleena was slightly surprised the other girl had been excluded. Oh, she really did feel simply terrible! Unfortunately, she wasn’t acting like she felt terrible, because R’nya had echoed her dragon and that was so many levels of funny that Kahleena burst into a fit of giggles, raising a hand to cover her mouth lest she spit redfruit across their little picnic. Her face was a warped combination of entertained and guilty as she tried valiantly to stop giggling, especially when Okalinath started tackling Xyreith all over again, being very vocal about her amusement.
In the end, Kahleena had to resort to pursing her lips and closing her eyes as she breathed carefully and slowly, trying to reclaim the control she had had not so long ago. She opened her eyes to look over at her friends, and ended up bursting into another splutter of giggles as she took in the expression on R’nya’s face, and the way he was staring at Rhaedalyn, clearly baiting her without so much as a single word. It was so R’nya! Kahleena giggled more, nibbling on her redfruit between the soft sounds, watching her friends with expectant delight, waiting for Rhaedalyn’s response. She giggled again, breathy and completely immature.
