He blushed at her praise and mumbled his gratitude. Her response was nice and needed since he was pretty sure Zelly didn’t count as an impartial observer anymore. Then again, she was outspoken and didn’t seem to have a need to lie so perhaps she would tell him if something sucked. But A’tay was also being far too much of a perfectionist on the project as well. He thought he would have finished it months ago but he ended up taking his time on each piece, sometimes starting over a few times, before finally being happy enough with it to start smoothing it out.
“I hope he does. I’ll settle for just liking it even,” he chuckled but knew Kalea was right and her brother would likely flounder and have trouble expressing himself. That was okay. He wasn’t doing it to see a reaction, no matter how much Kalea might be right and it would be fun to see. A’tay just wanted to do something for the greenrider that had been so kind to him since Thallyath’s Flight nearly two years ago. F’drel never asked for anything in return when they met up to have a non-alcoholic drink together where A’tay sometimes found the courage to discuss something that was on his mind and F’drel would listen intently and only offer advice when it was sought after.
“If you’re not there, I’ll be sure to tell you all about it.” Truthfully, A’tay would probably wait to give it to F’drel when they were alone because it would embarrass them both and witnesses weren’t needed. But he would gladly give Kalea a rundown afterward.
“And let me know when you want to go back. Xyxyth and I are here to sun and relax so if we become boring company, just let me know.” He smiled at Kalea, always finding it easy to tease himself—and liked to do it before someone else got a chance to.
