The only thing that saved Rhaedalyn’s mood from dropping into despair was the fact that R’nya seemed incapable of lying even if the reason was to protect someone’s feelings. She believed his words and knew she was always welcomed in his home but she did still feel a bit horrible for disturbing him so much at such an hour. Something would have to be done as a gift of apology but right then, nothing came to mind. She was emotionally drained and exhaustion from a busy day had finally caught up to her, which the walk back to the Candidate Barracks would only highlight and be what she needed to calm down the racing mind and crash into bed.
“Oh, I definitely will!” Rhaedalyn nearly bounced on the balls of her feet when she heard the genuine interest in the hatching of her new egg and saw the bright expression. When they had first met, it was hard to read the man and Rhaedalyn worried he didn’t like her or anyone but after some time together, she started to see the slight differences in expressions and could pick out when he was annoyed, playful, or happy. It was rather impressive how R’nya managed to convey so many emotions through quirking his eyebrows! “Let’s hope it has better timing than I do for making an appearance,” she teased herself with a small giggle. If the egg hatched in the middle of the night, she’d definitely wait to tell R’nya at breakfast!
At the invitation to help bathe Xyreith, Rhaedalyn hesitated. She never minded helping with the task even though the dragon always seemed grumpy until just the right spot was oiled up but with her current idea that he might want to eat her for fun, it was an intimidating idea. Finally she decided she was being ridiculous and the bronze was rather gentle despite his grumpiness. “Of course I’m interested!” She didn’t have her own dragon, after all, so this was the next best thing to feeling useful when it came to the dragon aspect of Katila. Her tailoring skills were improving so she didn’t feel entirely like a waste of space but assisting with the care of dragons made her feel like she was helping a lot more. “I’ll tell the others. I’m sure they’ll love to help as well.”
Once again in high spirits and too sleepy to connect all the dots of the time, her past sexual question, and states of dress, Rhaedalyn leaned up on tippy toes and placed a quick kiss on R’nya’s cheek. “Thank you again for your help and I’ll see you tomorrow!” With the usual bounce back in her step, the young woman headed out the door, waved at Xyreith, and continued on her path back to her room.
