D’hys didn’t give an answer to the sarcastic question; they both knew what he’d say. It wasn’t really an order but it was a strong suggestion that better served them both if it was followed. He wasn’t sure why the generous offer would be turned down given how nice A’liran had been treated and the promise that it was likely to continue if the greenrider knew better than to bite the hand that fed him. Not even when A’liran looked for the catch did D’hys think the other man was about to angrily limp his way out into the night to fend for himself again. In a way, he supposed he was currently being a champion of greenriders as well though D’hys knew full well that he truly wasn’t but someone like R’nd that didn’t have ice where his heart was and actually cared about everyone enough to put himself into danger would drop everything in a heartbeat if it meant saving someone from some fate they didn’t want and in the process make himself look good. Not that R’nd did it for bonus points but D’hys saw the potential there to make people forget past transgressions that may have come to light.
“The catch?” D’hys feigned innocence for all of ten seconds, just long enough to ask the question and give his admittedly girly lashes a bat at his guest. Of course that expression soon turned into his usual carefree one that showed he was having a good time and not even A’liran’s plights for justice on the behalf of greenriders could dampen it. “Where’s the fun in knowing ahead of time, babe?” D’hys knew ahead of time, naturally, but A’liran didn’t need to know or prepare for what would befall him at a time the bluerider felt was appropriate.
“You just need to keep trusting me,” D’hys looked forward to the denials that would bring about. But it was true and they both knew it to be so. A’liran wouldn’t even be sitting under his roof and eating his food if he felt he didn’t trust D’hys at all.
