R’nd hadn’t thought to keep a look out for Amorandii. He was still getting used to the girl since they didn’t spend too much time around each other and he didn’t think he’d be recognised, especially without B’jin beside him. Apparently he had been wrong when he heard his name and suddenly had a child-sized projectile launched at him where it clung to his legs upon impact. The plan worked, however, and R’nd came to an immediate stop and stared down at the child when she ran around in front of him. That look she gave him melted all of his defences and any excuses he had for fleeing were forgotten. He was so weak to that look! How B’jin and his daughter picked it up so quickly was beyond him but at least they used their powers sparingly though R’nd never stood a chance against it no matter when it came.
“I didn’t know you were here today, Amorandii. I just came by to see if Benden got his gifts and didn’t want to disturb his play date,” his reason for being there was given but R’nd didn’t try to leave yet. He was weighing all of his options before making a final decision. It pretty much came down to having to take her and letting B’jin know he had – his lover would freak out otherwise if he arrived and a certain little girl was missing – or tell her he wasn’t picking her up which would no doubt make Amorandii sad and he’d either have to be a monster that left anyway or stay and play with her. If he stayed, Volfetti would obviously see her and she’d either get upset he was entertaining B’jin’s daughter instead of his own son or she’d have them join the play group. It wasn’t like playing with Benden was a horrible punishment, but that feeling of being judged by Volfetti always weirded him out and with Seijin there, R’nd didn’t want to interrupt his interaction or come across as weird to the Candidate.
“Are you sure you don’t want to play with the other kids? I can’t be all that much fun to spend time with,” he sure didn’t know what to do to occupy her time until B’jin came home anyway. Sighing, R’nd knew Amorandii wouldn’t want to stay and the girl would be happy to tell stories until they got her back to her own toys and he was certain Ayyonth would help entertain as well. “All right, if you don’t have to go back and get anything, let’s get you back to your daddy’s hut.”
