R’dal startled and turned a shocked face on F’drel before glancing up at the sky to verify what time it was. It was still early, which was a good thing since it meant he hadn’t lost track of time and left a mess lying around for F’drel to return to, but it also meant the greenrider had returned early to a bit of a mess. But! It also meant his friend was home early! However, R’dal didn’t want to draw attention to any of that and simply smiled at the comment about the bracelets.
“Right? Miri helped pick out the colours as well. She was being cheeky earlier and wouldn’t confirm or deny, but I think this one is based on all her favourite cuddle friends.” R’dal pointed to one of the smaller strands of beads that was mostly blue with some amber sprinkled in. If it was true, it was such an adorable way to create a pattern. An idea to market his bracelets to blueriders and brownriders as ways to show off the Flights they won briefly tickled at his mind, but R’dal quickly brushed it away. It turned the sweet idea into something icky and demeaning with bragging rights.
“Are you home for the day?” R’dal gave up pretending he wasn’t excited to see F’drel and did his best to not show his eagerness by picking up the stray beads that had escaped their confinements. A lot of his beads came from the cast offs of glass crafters that couldn’t use the small pieces, so they weren’t always the right shape R’dal wanted in the moment or lacked a hole that went through all the way. He really should buy another jar for those bits to save for any other special project.
“And how was your day?” R’dal asked and patted the clean space beside him, inviting F’drel to grab a floor pillow and join them.
