Rhaedalyn couldn’t stop the tears from sliding down her cheeks no matter how often she wiped them away. Everything was so overwhelming! The sweet little golden girl had wanted her after all! She had been convinced the dragonet didn’t want anything to do with her given the Touching reaction she had but thinking on it now, maybe it meant she was being watched and judged worthy of the love and affection Rhaedalyn could now feel? You keep having the strangest thoughts that involve me hating you or harming you. I wish you would stop that. Rhaedalyn felt horrible for upsetting her dragonet and was suddenly on her knees again and hugging the adorable creature. A moment later and she was brushing a bit of sand from the gold’s nose from her earlier tumble.
There is a crazy man running towards you. Rhaedalyn jumped to her feet and spun around in time to see I’shan about to collide with her. When he pulled her into an excited hug, the girl squeaked in surprise as Aradissicath did a little dance of concern around them both until laughter sounded from Rhaedalyn and the dragonet settled down to sit and stare up at the humans. “I did! Oh, I’shan, I did! And you did!” Tears were once more streaking down her cheeks but Rhaedalyn didn’t care how she was perceived anymore. She was so happy! “Thank you for having such confidence in me.” I’shan, V’zire, Kahleena, Mevrit, and even R’nya in his own silent way had all believed she would Impress. When it would happen was always the hard part but not a single one of them doubted it would happen. She was the only one that believed she couldn’t do it.
As she finally managed to detangle herself from I’shan with the intent to get her baby girl something to eat, Kahleena came streaking towards her and copied the bluerider by stealing hugs as well. Rhaedalyn was still laughing and crying and it didn’t help any that her friend was in the same state as her. A shy blush somehow managed to appear between all the other emotions as Kahleena gave her a kiss to the cheek and broke away to inspect Aradissicath. “She’s incredibly amazing, isn’t she?” Rhaedalyn couldn’t help but stare in wonder at the dragonet that sat there patiently. She was a beautiful pale colour and had the sweetest voice and was so understanding! I’m also incredibly hungry but I can wait a little longer. You have a lot of friends waiting.
Aradissicath turned her attention to Okalinath and crooned in response, pleased to meet another dragon and one that seemed so well-mannered! “Thank you, Okalinath!” Rhaedalyn smiled at the older gold dragon and saw her in a new light. For the longest time the dragon was viewed as another reminder that she had failed to Impress but now she saw her as another friend and an extension of Kahleena. She had been foolish to think anything else and now that she had Aradissicath, Rhaedalyn fully understood the bond and knew all of her waiting had been worth it.
More people came by to congratulate her and get a good look at Aradissicath but most left just as quickly which Rhaedalyn was fine with. She was especially fine with the way R’nya snuck in to pull her away from some of the gawkers she didn’t know too well and wasn’t quite sure what to say to them. However, the chaste kiss to her cheek sent her blushing into overdrive and Rhaedalyn quickly looked at R’nya’s feet. He was such a gentleman and handsome too! It was so hard to deal with him sometimes when he reminded her of those facts. “Th-thank you, R’nya.”
As quickly as the blushing girl routine hit her it passed and was replaced with the excitable girl with the crazy imagination as Rhaedalyn threw herself at R’nya for a quick but tight hug. “Oh, R’nya! I don’t have to live in the trees anymore!” She sniffled and pulled away, quickly righting her Candidate robe before dropping to the ground to pet Aradissicath. “She saved me from that horrible existence.” A kiss was given to her dragonet’s snout and Rhaedalyn finally remembered she hadn’t introduced anyone properly. How terribly rude of her!
“Everyone, this is Aradissicath.” She didn’t introduce everyone back to the dragon since she had enough common sense to remember Aradissicath could read her thoughts and figure out who was who. Besides, with how quickly people were coming and going, it was hard to keep track of those that wanted to stay and mingle with them a little. “And would anyone mind if she ate right now? I haven’t managed to reach the buckets yet.” Did that make her a horrible goldrider? She had been so distracted with her emotions and everyone congratulating her that feeing Aradissicath didn’t happen as quickly as it should have. You need this as much as I need to eat. I didn’t mind waiting but food would be wonderful now.
