The weyrbrat sat up and turned around, Ravana easing back a step to give her a bit of room. Shanith poked her nose into the rider's mind, curious why Ravana was delaying going home to her nightly mug of tea and her own daughter. Ravana hesitated, but Zelina wasn't by nature a practical joker. She came close enough to be whispered to.
Stubborn crooned as she was petted, nudging the girl's fingers and then positioning her head jsut right for scritches to her eye ridges, chittering up a happy storm. She sent happy images to Ravana, drawing a worn smile from her bonded.
Ravana hmmed to herself. "So what's up Zelina?" She ran hands through her hair, keeping her tone gentle, patient. She wanted to go home! Warm, quiet home...where things were quiet and calm and oh yes, quiet. She kept all traces of that from her demeanor.
Shanith snorted her amusement in her mind.You'll be home soon. A few more minutes won't kill you. A child squealed happily and the greenrider nearly winced. Her head hurt, as always these days and the noise of the creche wasn't helping. She wanted to go home. Say that again and I'll let her escape by announcing that you've a desire to be painted entirely pink with neon green spangles and purple polkadots.
There was silent horror from her green, and Ravana turned her attention to Zelina again. "I'm sorry, Shanith butted in. Can you repeat yourself?" Her tone was gentle, Ravana kneeling to put them on the same level so she wouldn't have to literally look down on the girl.
