The comment about favoritism made Mulrissa giggle a little, amused by the idea and feeling Bedith’s contempt at the idea of being influenced in picking a bronze by anything his rider did. “You having lunch with me is extraordinarily unlikely to sway Bedith at all. Unless it’s Syrendryth bringing the lunch, but I somehow don’t think that was the plan. As long as Syrendryth’s feeling confident, I don’t think it’s a problem.” She didn’t want to totally crush T’ryn’s self-esteem if Syrendryth didn’t win, but considering Bedith’s ideal of being the anti-Okalinth in all things including having many fewer partners, unless the bronze terribly offended her or she suddenly became utterly enamored with some other bronze, she was likely to choose Syrendryth again if he chased her.
“They really do claim entire days sometimes, don’t they? I’ve gotten absolutely nothing done today because I didn’t want to get interrupted by Bedith Flying in the middle of anything important or time sensitive. She got a very thorough oiling, though.” Rissa had spent an excessive amount of time oiling each area, and it was completely unnecessary but it had filled the time and Bedith had absolutely glowed. “Really, though, it’s no problem to get something brought up. I’ve had several people already offer to drop something off for me post-Flight the past few days. Who knows, there may be a feast just outside my door.” She laughed, and while she doubted anyone had brought anything the image was enjoyable. A quick request to Bedith to contact a friend who had made such an offer — the gold had no compunctions about bespeaking anyone she wanted something from — and Mulrissa had confirmation that at least some sort of food would be headed their way soon. Samara really was a dear and Rissa would absolutely have to do something soon to thank her.
“Really, it’s no bother. Besides, you’re stuck in Telgar until Bedith and Syrendryth decide they’ve had enough of each other, and you’re pleasant company so I don’t mind at all if you stay a little while.” Gracefully Mulrissa stood up, grabbing a blanket from the floor and wrapping it around her like a shawl as she walked over towards where her dress had ended up, slipping it on over her head and leaving no time for T’ryn to protest staying for dinner again.
