R’nd did indeed read a person and come up with the best way to seduce them though this time it was only partly thought out while the rest was done on the fly. He had no idea how badly he had hurt the girl or if she was mad at him but he figured going over the top with an apology and asking for her to be with him would help soothe any ripples he caused. For a moment it looked like he was too slow or didn’t work hard enough at the approach as she stumbled over words and still regarded Valerian. When the weyrling’s name was said, R’nd almost thought she was picking him instead but then he realized she couldn’t decide. Thankfully, Valerian did it for her as he shrugged and strolled away.
Still on his knee, R’nd reached out a hand which Rhaedalyn slowly extended her own hand to meet. He smiled up at her, pleased that she took his hand even though he knew how skittish she could be when she was flustered. Apparently he had thoroughly won her over. Standing once more, R’nd continued to hold Rhaedalyn’s hand as he tried not to compare all the ways it felt different to when he had his fingers entwined with B’jin’s. Obviously it was just because she was petite and feminine.
“Would you like me to come by and escort you to my hut tonight?” He didn’t know if she would want to find her own way or be picked up whether by foot or dragon so it had to be asked. It was hard to say which would be the more embarrassing way for her since it was a slightly odd scenario they were playing out but R’nd was willing to work with all the unexpected bumps and he knew he’d do well with them. How many virgins had he mingled with over the turns? How many odd hook-ups had he stumbled into for whatever reason? He wasn’t even worried about anyone seeing the display he put on for the Candidate and how they would view it and turn it into gossip later on. They all believed he was mated to B’jin but it was simple enough to say he was simply being himself and chatting up a pretty girl. No one needed to know what they were talking about and they wouldn’t either unless they followed Rhaedalyn to his hut and eavesdropped.
Since it was Katila, that was entirely likely to happen.
