R’dal had a brief moment of panic when he turned back with his new snacks and didn’t see Aederyn or Alekse at their table. Just before it truly sank in and he feared he had angered one or both of them and they stormed off, he spotted the siblings dancing. Good, they were still having fun and he hadn’t completely ruined their day. Since they were having fun and he had his treats, R’dal left them to it and returned to the table, sitting alone but happily munching on his tart and sipping his cocoa. He was content to watch them for the moment and think of ways to apologise to each again. It still felt off to him but he didn’t know the girl or even Alekse and he meant it when he said the man knew himself the best. Maybe she was just the push that was needed to follow through with something he had wanted for a while?
After a few songs and his drink was gone, R’dal felt it was time to take Aederyn up on her hopes to have a dance with him. He almost stole Alekse into one first just to tease her but he’d been told regularly that he didn’t know holders that well and R’dal didn’t want to anger or embarrass his friend’s brother by doing such a thing. He swooped in, taking Aederyn’s hand in his and gave a bow. “My dear lady, I hope I can still have a dance?” Somehow he managed to keep a straight face as he mimicked the lords but he was grinning by the time he stood straight again.
“You’ll have to lead if you want anything fancy. I’m really only good at shimmying, some shoulder dancing, and twirling in place,” he gave an example of each as he spoke it. “Dancing always seemed more fun when you didn’t know what you were doing but I’m happy to try anything for you.” It was the least he owed her for his outburst but he also trusted Aederyn to not lead him astray and as twisted up as some of the breads he had seen for sale.
