R'dal giggled at Aederyn's reaction to everything from the takeoff to the excitement at being in the air. He had a moment of panic when he felt one arm leave the grasp around him, thinking she was either falling or maybe going to be sick or something but her cheer made him laugh even more and relax again. He had total faith in Edath to keep them steady and not go too fast or too high where it might become riskier for a second passenger that wasn't dressed for it and let the dragon take the lead with the directions they were given. Since he was just being a passenger as well, R'dal took the time to see the view as Aederyn might, taking it all in for the first time, seeing things she was probably familiar with at ground level in a whole new way. It reminded him a bit of his first outings in the North and seeing a whole new land for the first time. He was really happy he could bring such joy to someone.
Edath found the landmarks easily enough and circled around it, finding the best place to land. Too close often meant startling someone and risked injury so he found an open space large enough for him to comfortably land several lengths away from the station and made his descent, landing softly. "I never noticed that boulder before. But now I'm gonna keep an eye out for other landmarks like it. That's so cool!" R'dal pointed to the orange rock in question, eyes bright with his own excitement still. Runners had really thought of everything and their craft seemed to be more intricate than he thought. He'd have to ask her more about it sometime and maybe take her flying again.
He helped her down and stood beside her a moment later, staring at the station. He had mentioned having breakfast together but seeing the building now, R'dal felt like he'd be intruding and didn't want to put anyone out or make an enemy because he waltzed in looking for food. So he uninvited himself. "I guess you should finish your task and I should get back to the Weyr. Everyone will be waking soon and I like to offer my amazing dish washing services to the breakfast staff sometimes."
R'dal was trying to figure out how they could keep in touch, when the firelizard buzzed into his view again and he mentally slapped himself. Duh! "If he's trained," he nodded to the firelizard that seemed to have relaxed a bit around Edath now, "you can send me a message with him any time so we can keep in touch or visit, even if you aren't in Fort region." He hoped she would want to! He had so much more to ask her about her craft and just in general since she seemed like a fun person--and safe. R'dal was confident she wasn't going to do anything to hurt or use him either.
