Hearing V'riy believed she would keep what he said to her secret pleased her, as was the warm smile. This time the smile wasn't as brotherly but she found it was very similar to the smile she saw him give Morith earlier. A friendly smile and maybe some fondness to? Interestingly Arddra realized she liked the thought.
A part of her felt she should be the one getting them both refills but before she could offer to serve he was already taking her bowl and heading to the kitchen. Arddra let herself relax. He wasn't her husband to wait on anyway nor her aging parents but a new friend. She was also in his home, a host tended the needs of his guest, if he had no wife to see to it. Do dragonriders follow that same principal? Arddra didn't' think so, what she learned in the many lessons she had during her Candidacy she knew the Weyr did things differently. Dragonriders didn't marry nor really form exclusive relationships, some do have regular weyrmates but when dragons could fly different dragons in a mating flight, flightlust couplings weren't counted as cheating. Not a pleasing thought given she was drawn into such a coupling against her will. Pushing that encounter out of her mind, Arddra looked up as V'riy returned, bowls refilled. She smiled warmly at him.
"Does Morith not like the smell of garlic?" Arddra asked, looking towards the window when she heard the bronze bugle. She hoped her dragon didn't end up with the same dislike. Arddra did enjoy garlic.
Her eyes snapped back to V'riy when he asked her how he can repay her for mending his shirt. Arddra blinked slowly, not sure how to respond to that so she ate a mouthful of stew to give her more time to get her thoughts in order.
"You invited me to eat a fine stew you made yourself and trusted me with your own feelings towards the decisions made by some here, I think that is more than enough payment for mending your shirt. More importantly, I feel..I feel I can trust you and think of you as a friend instead of...somebody I would rather avoid if possible."
