Rhaedalyn’s eyes went wide as a hint of fear crept up on her at the mention of being scolded. The ex-bronzerider Jajojin scared her. He was so intense with his stares, gruff way of speaking, the mood swings, and his very presence, that Rhaedalyn didn’t like to be left alone with the man or even in the same room with him with others there as well. She didn’t even want to think about his goldless counterpart. They could both be lovely in their own ways and at certain times when they weren’t having their fits of confusion or craziness, but they intimidated her and made her feel like she wasn’t very good at her job. She already knew she wasn’t; she didn’t need the constant reminders!
Before she could retract her agreement to eat in bed, R’nya had promised her sweets and didn’t look at all concerned. If he wasn’t worried about Jajojin’s reaction, then she shouldn’t be either! Or so she kept telling herself as she fidgeted with the sheet, rubbing the material between thumb and fingers, watching R’nya try to get dressed before darting out the room.
Despite the slight fretting she had started in that time, Rhaedalyn couldn’t help the giggle that came out when R’nya returned, looking ever so triumphant and pleased with his actions. She wondered how hard he had pulled rank with whomever was around. She was about to ask questions about what he said and did and what he asked to have brought up when R’nya laughed. It wasn’t as if the man never did that, but it was rare and it always made her smile when it happened. Rhaedalyn smiled at the bronzerider – her mate! She still couldn’t believe that – and patted the spot on the bed beside her. She knew she should dress before the food was brought up but she honestly couldn’t be bothered and had a suspicion that clothing wouldn’t stay on long while R’nya was around that night.
“I hope you didn’t scare them too badly! Also, Muffin is back,” she pointed to the blue firelizard watching R’nya from atop her dresser, “I’m not sure where Rumour and Whisper are at the moment but you know as soon as there’s food, Muffin will want us to share.” Again she giggled, knowing two out of three of her little friends had enough manners to wait for an invitation before swarming the food but then there was Muffin who often played by his own rules.
“And, will you stay the night?” The question came out quickly as Rhaedalyn tossed the idea out before she had a chance to second guess herself, which was why it came out so suddenly after bringing up a firelizard. She didn’t know what R’nya’s plans were or even what mated would mean for the nights to come, but they were mates now and Rhaedalyn was also enjoying the night and didn’t want it to end. As soon as R’nya left for bed or work, it would be like her fantasy world was over and she’d have to go back to reality where she was responsible and always being watched and judged. She didn’t like living like that but did like laughing with R’nya and curling up against his side as well.
