R’dal happily started to talk about the one Candidate that Zoremet would likely get along with and how he’d gone to visit the man a few times since bringing him to the Weyr. He was just thinking how best to describe the other one when Zoremet jumped on the silence and asked after him again. R’dal gave another wrinkle of his nose, about to say again that he was fine when he was hit once more with that badly written story. “Not you too, Zormy,” R’dal pouted and stopped their trek down the hall.
“And I don’t. Well, I don’t think I do but if I did, Aederyn would make sense. She’s pretty awesome and you’d like her as well. She was a runner!” R’dal perked up a bit at that, still excited over his friend’s past craft and how fast she could run but that elation soon deflated again and he sighed. “You remember years ago how we thought those saucy stories that mysteriously kept appearing were funny? They’re not so funny when you’re a star in them.”
He leaned back against the wall and slowly slid down until he was sitting and hugging his knees. “Whatever you heard, it’s not true. It was just one of those notes. It said F’drel, Aederyn, and I were in a relationship and that our cuddles were actually more. But they’re just cuddles!” R’dal stared up at Zoremet, gaze fierce but also begging his friend to believe him.
