R'dal had heard a lot about Alekse and knew Aederyn loved her brother but he still hadn't been prepared for exactly how amazing the man was. It all started from the hug. R'dal was a hugger and could learn a lot about a person from the way they hugged and Alekse was genuine in his. He was also friendly, well-spoken, and not mad about his sister being Searched. R'dal relaxed visibly, though he was still a bit overwhelmed by the man that he was deciding was pretty darn cool with each passing second. F'drel had messed with his mind, clearly, if he was worried about meeting the brother of a friend!
"We're all lucky to have her! She's been a great help all over the Weyr and she's such a great friend. I love having her around!" R'dal gave his big boxy grin as Aederyn took his arm and he almost skipped their way into the main area. Her excitement was infectious and R'dal's fears of minutes before were long gone as he took in the sights and oooh'd at various things that caught his eye as they passed. There would be time to browse later. The important part was getting to spend time with Alekse.
"Do you think they have hot cocoa yet?" He asked as they passed a vintner. Alekse had mentioned buying him a drink which usually meant alcohol but R'dal didn't care for it but he did love chocolate and chocolate in its liquid form was divine! He almost squealed when he caught whiff of something delicious and followed his nose, leading the siblings toward a baker that had some tarts on display and a large pot of what ended up being hot cocoa. "If Alekse is buying the drinks, I'll buy the treats if anyone wants some!"
Once that was sorted out and R'dal walked away with his hands full of goodness, he glanced around the large area again and wondered what they should do or if he should even stick around despite his earlier comment about not losing him. "What did you two want to do? I can leave you to catch up if you want." He was curious to know more about Alekse and his time on the paths but he didn't want to overstep.
