R’nd wasn’t sure he knew the definition for that word anymore. Grey eyes tracked I’shan’s every movement as the rim of the wine glass never left his lips. He was being played but it wouldn’t do to announce that he knew he was or demand an answer to put him out of his misery. That left him with the option to play along. He fixed his stance into something completely comfortable and at home and set an unaffected expression in place as he followed I’shan to the source of the amazing aroma. “It does smell amazing and that’s quite a fair bit you made. That hungry, are you?” His tone held a teasing note as R’nd suspected I’shan’s dreamy state of being had conjured up a hope that N’gelt would come by and join them or at least later that night.
As he continued following suit with preparing his plate, R’nd hesitated in putting the second slice atop the first and stared long and hard at I’shan. “I do remember that. Exactly how dangerous are we talking about now?” While I’shan sometimes needed an extra hand when situations got a little rough, R’nd knew his friend could take care of himself just the same. But that didn’t mean he liked where this conversation was going. He’d reserve judgement, however, and hope I’shan didn’t start spouting his flowery poetic version of times spent with the brownrider.
