Even with I’shan trailing after him for just one more taste, C’dhin believed he had been a fool and wanted nothing more than to apologise and flee. The hand that caught his had the idea freezing in his mind before it was even implemented and the greenrider looked down at it. It was a loose grasp that he could probably slip out of if he really wanted to go – unless it was a bluerider game. Suspicion sank in, convinced I’shan was more like D’hys than believed. The two men were friends and both blueriders so it wouldn’t be far-fetched to have I’shan act like he was being kind only to drag him back in.
A glance at I’shan’s face told C’dhin the truth though. The suspicion wasn’t warranted and it quickly vanished to be replaced once more with the interest in the man that was easy to talk to and nice to look at. He had heard some random stories about I’shan but they were never horrifying; just that he was over-exuberant. The man was passionate about things and it was endearing. Convinced he wasn’t just being toyed with because he was an inexperienced greenrider, C’dhin smiled brightly and inched up the bed a bit more to show he wasn’t about to kiss and run after all.
Even though it wasn’t much, the compliment was still flattering and C’dhin’s cheeks heated slightly as he looked at I’shan’s chest then to the table and then to his own lap. He wanted praise for his baking abilities and thrived from those but compliments from I’shan kept throwing him off. Surely it was from the stress of everything lately and nothing more! Still, if there was something more there, like Coroth’s nudging kept indicating, he figured he might as well keep stumbling awkwardly down the path and see what happened.
“Well… I’ve always been of the opinion that if you like something, you should always have more of it.” Despite the bold words and inviting smile, C’dhin lost his courage to be the one to do anything again. He simply didn’t want to push too much and lose the budding friendship with the kind and attractive bluerider.
