Hedara kept her expression deadpan at the comment about washing behind his ears. Her words were quick though.
“Yes, for the good of the Weyr.” She smoothly went to brush off invisible crumbs to hide her quick twitch of a smirk. His next words caused her to pause though.
Wash his back. That was the request. There was a lot about Hedara that would imply she was unfazed by awkward or by any sense of interest in the opposite sex. That was a straight up lie. She had holder sensibility raised into her. How could she not? She had been raised by some of the two most ‘northern’ parents one could have. So, yes, this was a bit of something. She was mostly confused as to how she felt, it was all over the place. A bit embarrassed at the thought, plus the idea of doing this for her good friend was odd. Well he was a friend, perhaps this was an extension of ‘one of the guys’ idea? Should she be flattered? She couldn’t comprehend V’quin thinking of this as some sort of subtle invitation for anything other than exactly what he’d said. The man’s flirting was well documented, to other women, and nonexistent to her.
Her thoughts sped along at a merry pace, so much so that she had a hard time summoning a response. Until he prompted again. Her eyes focused, and Ivy was floating around her head and V’quin was asking where they were going. Well, might as well.
“This way.” She strode forward like she had just been waiting for the chance to lead. She led to the bathing caverns, at least part of them. There was a sort of private area that was generally only used by her and others who had enough meetings to warrant a free pass for some privacy. Hedara did like hot water if nothing else. By the time they got there she had finished her mean to go and at least she wouldn’t have to worry about that.
“In you go.” Her responses were short even for her. Maybe if she didn’t overthink this, everything would be okay.
