Ravana smiled at Rhae as she knelt to fuss with Berani's hair and collar. She had her doubts about leaving Berani with Rhaedalyn but they'd nothing to do with the weyrling's ability to watch her daughter.
They had everything to do with the possibility of a surprise visit from Tsuen, or that rumour of Ravana's visiting Rhae would get back to Tsuen. She didn't know if the demented weyrwoman knew that she was T'ken's foster mother. She hadn't wanted to risk finding out and getting Rhaedalyn in trouble, but after catching Berani three times trying to sneak onto the hatching sands, she'd yielded and brought her to see her friend.
The other source of her worry was Aradissicath. Rumor was that the gold wasn't a friendly clutcher. Ravana knew well that pregnancy tended to change a person's mood. T'lian had explained that to her when she'd asked him why she'd been so weepy during her pregnancy with Berani. She guessed the same went for dragons.
However the gold had been given plenty of notice that they were coming, and Ravana had even coaxed Shanith into carrying a bribe to the gold for her goodwill. Well she hesitated to use the word bribe, but...hopefully the herdbeast would be well recieved?
If she doesn't want it, I'll take it. It's nice and fat! I picked the very best one for her! The green at least was cheerful. Don't worry! Aradissicath might grumble but she likes Berani and she won't hurt her. The green wriggled, placing the herdbeast on the ground near Aradissicath. Hi Aradissicath! I bear gifts! We thought you'd be hungry. Ravana says moving around when you're close to clutching is difficult and sometimes hurts, so we thought we'd make it so you don't have to hunt.
Rhae had met them partway and Ravana spoke softly. "I'll come back soon enough, I need to drop something off with Kahleena that'll hopefully make her and Okalinath happy. Thank you for agreeing to watch her. She really wanted to spend time with you."
She stood, Berani taking off to hug Rhaedalyn, beaming widely up at her. Bright brown eyes showed her joy and the child backed up after a moment. Rhaedalyn had plainly become one of her favourite people.
