He wasn’t sure if B’jin was aware or not, but the love confessions didn’t spook him anymore. It’d be pretty horrible if they did after being together for nine years and admitting only months earlier that he viewed them as mated. R’nd was pretty proud of his growth and truth be told, the reminder made him relax as much as the alcohol had. There had been a good chance that B’jin would have tossed him aside for having such a messy family tree and not wanting to deal with the extra drama. He never doubted B’jin, but the chance was still there. They could both be considered perfectionists and had a way about them that suggested they didn’t want to get tangled into something too emotionally traumatising so everything B’jin had said, had been a relief.
R’nd’s first reaction to B’jin’s words about what Eridella might want, was to chuckle. He already felt the planet was doomed with the two knowing each other—or at least his world felt that way at times when they joined forces to tease him. He loved and trusted them both so the idea that Eridella would want to literally proposition B’jin for another child was ridiculous, though it did help nudge him to something a bit more likely. Was his sister trying to merge their families with a marriage? Amorandii was closing in on a proper marriage age and Eridella had a couple of available sons. He loved his nephews, but if he was right about what Eridella wanted, R’nd was going to have to get to know the boys a bit better to ensure they would be good for their sweet Lady Amorandii.
It made even more sense when R’nd recalled how he suggested one of their mother’s necklaces be given to B’jin’s daughter. Eridella loved the idea but asked to hang onto it so she could present it to the young lady when they next had a large family gathering. At the time, R’nd didn’t think it strange. Now, he knew Eridella was plotting something.
“I’m sure she’ll find a way to console herself over the fact that you’re taken, love. Anyway, I don’t think I’ll be in much of a mood to eat or socialise at dinner but I don’t want you to miss out, especially since my inside sources say they’re doing that cream puff dessert you love.” R’nd gave B’jin a genuine smile, showing that even though he wasn’t up for doing much more than sulking in the dark, he still fully supported his mate going out and having a good time. “Although if you happen to bring back some dessert, I have a feeling I might manage to eat them.” Sweets would always be his biggest weakness.
