“Mummy!” The fact that the woman was not on the list of mother of the year mattered very little to the girl as she threw her arms around Jayedi’s waist and hugged her tight before letting go and dancing happily into the house, either completely unaware of the tension between the two adults, or wilfully ignoring it.
B’jin’s smile was just as guarded, a vague and mild wariness lingering in warm brown eyes. B’jin liked the bluerider well enough, but she was still a bluerider and a woman, and the greenrider was reluctant to trust either – but especially not a combination. The fact that Jayedi had not done anything to fuel his mistrust was not a reason to trust her; it was simply a matter of time. Women were untrustworthy creatures, and blueriders were in a whole other category of dangerous.
“Business,” B’jin replied honestly as he waited for the woman to move, so he could step through the door politely without skirting around her with any particular obviousness. Brown gaze swept the room, quickly finding and focusing on Amorandii, who had seated herself with much dignity on a chair, her hands folded neatly in her lap and little feet kicking back and forward. She smiled brightly at both adults.
“Amorandii caught wind of where I was heading,” he smiled fondly at his daughter, and the girl’s smile flashed into a brilliant grin. How could he say no to such a sweet little girl? The fact that she had her father firmly wrapped around her finger was probably oblivious only to B’jin – and possibly R’nd, who was in much the same position. “You’re free?” He was sure they’d made prior arrangements, but it wouldn’t do to take up the woman’s time if she had obligations to be elsewhere.
