“Hi! Yes!” Aederyn tossed the water skin to the side of the door before she spun and jumped in a fit of giggles, landing roughly on a chair to sit for all of two seconds before leaping to her feet again and capturing R’dal in a hug, the force of which caused them both to spin. “My brother is here!” Her dancing and jumping settled into light bouncing on the balls of her feet, her face split in a wide smile. “He’s down at the Fort gather! I just saw his firelizard, he’s here! I haven’t seen him in months!”
The utter joy at the thought of seeing her brother again gave way to slight hesitation, and she absently brought her little finger up to chew at the nail. She hated being indebted to anyone, even for something as simple as what she was requesting. She’d run if she had to, but a ride would be far faster. “I hate to ask, but is there any chance I could get a lift down? I’ll oil Edath! Or help with cleaning! Cazan’s been teaching me some leather work, I could help keep your riding straps in good order…”
She suddenly felt very silly, and she bowed her head for a moment as she considered running again. But no, she’d already asked.”Please? I’d love for you to meet Alekse, too…”
