Rhaedalyn laughed as was twirled around before being led into the next steps that had them skipping around in a small circle with other couples. Everyone knew R'nya as a stoic leader that quite possibly didn't have a sense of humour or know what fun was. She'd always known better and would always cherish the afternoon spent picking flowers and picking on R'nya with Khaleena. He had made sure they knew he had humour and could even skip. She'd always liked him but reflecting back on all the days he spent looking after her and the other Golden Girls, Rhaedalyn suspected that may have been the day where she started to feel more for the bronzerider but continued to ignore it for whatever silly reason she had at the time.
But now everyone knew he could dance and even smile, though she imagined they knew he could smile thanks to how easily it was for her to make him laugh or crack a smile even when they were in the dining cavern. Happiness looked great on R'nya and Rhaedalyn held her head a little higher knowing she was the cause of it. Well, their five girls certainly contributed to his happiness but they weren't there, having been left behind with Madiquel and Quinvalis looking after them so mom and dad could have a date night away from all their responsibilities. She didn't realise how much she needed this time away from the kids and the Weyr itself until they landed at the Hold.
"I like this," Rhaedalyn commented vaguely as the song started to come to a close. She reached her free hand--the other was still in R'nya's as they prepared for the ending twirl and hold pose--and brushed her fingers down his cheek, smiling. "You look relaxed and like you might actually be having fun." With another laugh, Rhaedalyn initiated the spin and rested her head back against his chest as they came to an ending pose of her back against his front. She applauded enthusiastically for the band, appreciating their skills and ability to make all cares go away. Perhaps they needed to have such dates away from the Weyr a bit more frequently. Maybe once a month as she felt a weekly excursion was pushing it, at least until Vadira and Rajlyn were a bit older and could handle such things.
