R’nya flinched visibly with a sideways look at Kahleena when she screeched in his ear, the bronzerider’s expression flattening into a mild look as she bounced around, clinging to his arm and expressing far too many emotions for him to keep track of. Xyreith was throwing out some commentary in the back of his mind, but R’nya wasn’t listening as he too busy watching Kahleena suddenly run rapidly across the sands without an ounce of dignity and it took all of his to prevent himself from laughing at the pair of them.
The bronzerider followed at a much more sedate pace, weaving through the people milling around as the Hatching ended and finally reaching the elated group surrounding the newest goldrider. R’nya said nothing as he watched others congratulate the young woman, the bronzerider leaning down slightly to help the still sobbing Kahleena back onto her feet; she clung to him, but he had been expecting that.
When a little room around the new pair appeared, R’nya stepped forward into it, Kahleena letting him go enough to allow the movement but keeping a grip on his wrist as if her guardian bronzerider might vanish. With his free hand slipping forward to gently take Rhaedalyn’s elbow, R’nya leaned forward to place a chaste kiss on the young woman’s cheek. Stormy eyes were bright as he stepped back, murmuring a low pitched “Well done, Lady Rhaedalyn,” as he did so.
