Wait, Kerrin was interested in the bruises he had nothing to do with but showed not an ounce of remorse for the kick? R’nd hesitated briefly in reaching for his towel when that realization hit him but quickly resumed the task so not to show he was affected by the question that almost seemed more like a jab. “Why?” He shot a glare over his shoulder as he straightened before wrapping the towel around his shoulders, “do you want to hit them if they do?”
R’nd gave a growl of frustration at their fighting and brought the towel to his head to run it over his hair, though he was careful to keep his eyes on Kerrin in case he had the urge to strike again while the target was blinded. Having an attitude wasn’t going to get them anywhere and he didn’t need his nosy dragon to point that out. He counted to ten to help bite back the urge to continue with sharp replies, eyes never leaving Kerrin. There had to be another reason for the rage besides the little prank of not mentioning G’rem as teacher. Given the only things Kerrin had mentioned so far were G’rem and the bruising, R’nd was led to believe it had to do with the latter, which still didn’t make sense despite both of their love of always looking perfect. The only way to find out, naturally, was to try talking without letting anger guide them.
Removing the towel from his head, R’nd replied in a calm and even voice, hoping to cancel out the bite and suspicion in his previous reply, “They don’t hurt as much as they did yesterday.” He ached all over for two days after the encounter but it was well worth it and still the thought of that time brought a small, goofy smile to his lips, which R’nd didn’t realize he was doing at first. Once he did, teeth clamped down on his lower lip to stop the uncharacteristic response to a flight coupling and lifted the towel in offering to Kerrin as a further wordless distraction.
