Rhaedalyn’s relief over Indivara not latching onto the lack of hair was immense. It wasn’t like the talk about possibly failing an important task that the Weyrleader himself had given her was any better but at least she was familiar with failing and knew how those conversations could go. Her hair would always be a sore spot and Rhaedalyn didn’t think any amount of compliments over it would make her like the new style she would do her best to quickly grow out.
I can do it just fine, Aradissicath chimed in, answering the girl while Rhaedalyn returned to sulking over her hair. Yes, it was pretty and the dragon thought the unruly curls fit her sweet rider but it was only hair; it would grow back! Then again, the ladies in stories never had short hair but long flowing luscious locks so it was understandable there would be distress over the loss. Aradissicath grumbled to herself at how she was now getting distracted. None of those other so-called golds will be able to handle such a task so I’m left having to lend my talent and make them look good. It’s a waste, really. While she did get along with Okalinath thanks to their riders’ friendship, even that gold dragon was sometimes eyeballed for her antics and her skill level questioned, although more quietly.
“Aradissicath will definitely be able to do it,” Rhaedalyn added quietly as she moved Rumour to a shoulder so Muffin could be scooped up and squished to her chest in a tight hug. The oldest of her trio was used to such things and hung limply in the grasp but with a content look as finger started petting his little head. “I guess I’m more worried about my end of the bond. I’ve not been too focused or strong the last few days.”
