It was good to know that she wasn't the only one with those little verbal hiccups. Jada grinned, but then clucked her tongue at Lymsleia. "Don't be modest. Half the women in the Weyr would kill for your skin." And she didn't mean the color, she meant the overall elasticity and general... skin. "You've got to take some of the credit somewhere."
It was a little disconcerting to see this girl, who had been so comfortable in her own skin not long before, acting so... well Shards. How to describe it? Jada might be able to describe it as blossoming under the tutelage of her bossy gold dragon, growing more secure in herself?
"I could dance." Jada beamed. "It's been so long. I wonder what silly dance it is the Lord Holders have gotten themselves up to this season. It was always changing, you know." Jada held out her hand to the shorter woman, intending to take the masculine role in their dance. After all, Lymsleia was shorter, and if worst came to worst, Lym could step on Jada's toes and the Harper could whoosh them around. She grinned at the thought, smile brightening. "I can't have wine, but I could escort you that way. Alas, I've had my cup. I don't want to risk any more."
Jada! I want to sparkle too! It's not fair! That would have made the perfect entrance! Krypth creeled, weaving on her perch, torn between her distaste for the green in all her hussy glory, and her desire to shimmer! Oh, oh, if only she could have some of that oil! You will remember to make me shimmer next time, won't you?
"Of course!" Jada said aloud, and then frowned at herself. Of course, Krypth. Next time we will make sure no one outshines you, not even Nirinath herself.
Good! Content, the Gold settled herself, watching the Green swoop overhead, fascinated by the aerial acrobatics.
