A part of him, the part that loved making friends, was thrilled the Lord remembered him. The smarter part that was trying to listen to F'drel and be better when it came to stranger danger was worried that Raigan remembered him. They hadn't spent that much time together at the Gather and it was months ago, surely he wasn't that important? Yet there Raigan was, recalling his name immediately upon seeing his face which left R'dal in that weird place between flattered and hesitant to engage further. But what if F'drel was wrong about this Lord? Surely not all of them were horrible people? He would just have to pay attention and find out one way or the other.
"No!" He blurted out, a bit loudly, when Raigan caught him off guard by asking if he was ignoring him. "I wouldn't ignore someone like that. I'm just not home much. I have a lot of friends and family in Ista Weyr so I'm usually out there but definitely not hiding from someone." Would Raigan have really sought him out? He wondered if he had and no one ever told him that a Lord had been looking for him. Maybe it was always said to R'nya, but then, wouldn't the Weyrleader want to know why someone important was looking for a bluerider?
"But we finally crossed paths again which means I can say sorry for having to leave so abruptly at the Gather," F'drel had dragged him away, mumbling about an important matter. R'dal didn't want to tell Raigan it was because of distrust of lords that had caused the greenrider to swoop in and let the excuse of being needed continue to be the truth. It kind of was, anyway, since R'dal had ended up helping F'drel search for his siblings to help ease his mind that everyone was okay.
"Anyway, I'm a Searchrider now! So that will be exciting when we actually get to go on a Search and maybe we'll see each other more that way. And how are you? Can I buy you a drink? My friend said they're selling hot chocolate again now that it's colder out." He smiled expectantly at Raigan after babbling a bit from nerves, hoping the Lord would say yes to having a drink with him. He knew he should be trying to leave but R'dal just couldn't be that rude, not when Raigan seemed so pleased to see him again. Besides, more talking meant a better chance at making sure he wasn't evil.
