{Later Afternoon/Early Evening} Retny was tired and sore and there was someone laying next to her making her warmer. She grumbled and try to move away, but the sheets were tangled around her legs and all she ended up doing was falling out of bed with a rather loud yelp, waking up right away. What was going on? She looked towards her dragon's couch. Oh yeah.... it hadn't been a dream. Orikaeth had really flown and.... Quiorith had really caught her... which meant. Retny looked back in the bed behind her. It was... R'le.
She could feel her skin turning red. Oh.... She had... With him. Would he say anything. She hurriedly sat up and pulled a sheet around her before laying back down. Oh well. She was tired. And... well... she might not get this chance agian... She closed her eyes and triedto go back to sleep, hoping he'd wake first so he could leave if he wanted to... if he wasn't awake already...
{Good MorningMine. I am a proud queen today with a proud king by my side. He will be wonderful. A leader, though he may not wish to be, I believe he will be a good one.} Retny peaked an eye open, looking at the rainbow and cloud curled up together... it wsa kind of like the rainbow after a storm and when you put them both together... you got a really nice picture. She smiled. {I'm happy for you love.}
The rainbow chortled. {And what of you.... your man caught you.}
Retny turned a little more red... that was true, she supposed... but was this just going to be a temporary thing based around a flight? or was this something.... more?
R’le was asleep. Quiorith was sure of that. Well mostly. He wasn’t used to R’le going to sleep before him. He sort of didn’t care at the moment. He was next to Orikaeth. Therefore he was happy. He was tired, though so he rested, lying content where he was. However he was awake enough to pay attention to what happened next.
The man flipped over. He was mostly asleep. Somehow this action felt wrong to him. Why could he do that? He didn’t feel like he was squishing a small creature or being chewed on. Something about this felt…weird. And warm. Something got tugged away. That was cooler. His mind slowly got around to piecing together what might be going on here. Hmmm. He needed more evidence. He pushed himself up and opened his eyes. Not his room. R’le blinked a few times before falling back into the bed, face down into a pillow. Just a different room. That was fine then. His face enjoyed the comfort of the pillow a while longer before he frowned into his pillow. Quiorith avoided making any noise to reveal his amusement. R’le turned his head to get another look around, still not entirely awake. Usually he was only like this after flights. Oh. Wait. The memory of what exactly had happened got to him in pieces and he resisted the urge to… well a number of things. He would have done some sort of cheer or something, but as he looked around and spotted Retny he left that off. He watched the a little more and decided she was still asleep. Okay then. He leaned over to get a better look at her. She looked cute when she was sleeping.
Unsure what to do he looked around. Geez, he had not left his stuff anywhere neat. Hmm. He reached down and grabbed his pants and put them on. Well, he could find his other clothes later. He looked back at Retny. Still asleep, or so it seemed. So he rolled onto his back and lay in the bed, thinking. After a flight he really appreciated the ability to think. So he lay there, just kinda waiting, and in no hurry to go anywhere.
Heh. Just a slight amused sound. He wasn't going to get in the way of the humans. Not here.
Orikaeth nuzzled Quiorith gently before laying her head back down to rest, her eyes sliding closed. {Seems we did get to fly together again.} she said, a tone of amusement, happiness, and satisfaction in her mental voice.
Hers had fallen back asleep. She supposed that would be good since she was tired, but she could feel she was happy and the dream she was having, while the dragoness would describe as wishful was.... happy. That was good.
Retny felt him move and her brow furrowed slightly as she readjusted herself to account for the shifting bed. She was curled up on her side, facing R'le, her arms wrapped around the pillow and the sheets tangled around her body as she had left them when she had climbed back into bed.
Orikaeth rumbled slightly in amusement. Hers would wake soon once more... And in fact she did. She woke slowly this time - or slower, not becoming aware of her surroundings at first.... but this time not as startled to find R'le in her bed.
She slowly blinked the sleep from her eyes and licked her lips, which felt a little dry to her. "Good morning," she said, propping herself up on a elbow. She looked at him quietly. She wondered what he would do if she leaned over and kissed him... She resisted that thought and simply waited for his response. After all... it would never due to make things more awkward than they could already potentially be.
We should fly together more often. Quiorith’s voice was as it usually was, light and airy. It was so very comfortable here.
R’le watched Retny, as she slowly woke up. He was still thinking, he supposed. He paid more attention to her as she woke up then his thinking though. He didn’t look any more serious then he usually did, he had a smile on his face.
“Heya Retny. Sleep okay?” He took a brief glance toward a window to see outside. “Not sure if you can call it morning though. Nice to see you up though.” He grinned. It was the middle of the day and he was in bed. He felt kinda like they were playing hooky together. Shards, that might be the case. It was a fun thought. He thought a little bit more about that. Oh wait, he forgot about that. He’d been too busy with flight and so on that he’d neglected to think about the whole she was the Jr. Weyrwoman thing. That was just like him though. Titles were sort of the last thing he thought about. He had been planning something but whatever, he could manage with this. In some ways this might be better. Or worse. One never could tell when flights were in the mix.
“Do ya mind talking with me for a bit?” He looked rather hopeful. He wasn’t exactly sure how she was going to take all this, he hoped for one thing but he’d deal with it otherwise. He just wasn’t the kind of person to sit in the corner never having tried. That wasn’t him.
The rainbow rumbled in agreement, settilng her wings a bit more from where they had been rather unceremoniously splayed. {We should...} Though, of course, this flight was quite special.
When she saw that smile of his... Retny couldn't help but smile too. She leaned over and decided she was going to lean agaisnt him - even though it was hot. She closed her eyes and listened to his heart beat. "I slept okay, I think... but I'm still tired," she said, her voice having a slight dream like quality to it still. She laughed slightly, her eyes crinkling a bit. "Well... it was a long flight and... then of course... well." She blushed again, settling herself against him. She was going to enjoy this while she had it.
She looked up at him. "Of course not." She smiled. "I can get off if it's a little warm..." She said, unable to help her smile as she looked at him. She wondered what that expression was. He looked like was hoping for something...Of course... she was just happy that he hadn't left her alone here in her bed. She sat up again, looking at him, her hair falling forward around her face. She looked slightly fairytale like with the expression on her face, curious and reserved at once, the sun coming in to cast interesting lights and shadows on her.
As Retny leaned against him he listened to her talk, noting the slightly airy quality to her voice. Like she was not quite awake. She made herself comfortable while blushing ever so slightly. He was just so happy that it didn’t seem awkward, it was just nice. Maybe things could just be like this more often… He was getting ahead of himself. Way too far. Back up R’le, back up.
“Ah, yeah. Well feel free to use me as a pillow, I’ll try to be comfy for ya.” R’le chuckled slightly, trying not to upset Retny. Her hair was falling around her face, and he felt like he could so very easily reach out and toy with a little bit of the dark hair. He decided, since his hands were suddenly wanting something to do, that he would push back the hair that was no doubt wanting to get in his way. He had no idea how he looked right now. Probably a wreck. That still wasn’t going to stop him from chatting though. Her expression might just stop him though. Curious she was, but maybe she was steeling herself for something? He hoped not.
“Well then. I was sort of planning on something different on getting this out there, but this is a bit of an easier way to get ya to play hooky I guess.” He smirked. Well, best go for it, rather than drag it out. “I’m not really sure what your plans are Retny, but I am a one gal sort of guy. Means I ain’t interested in just fling sort of things. Guess I’m asking if you want something kinda serious with me.” He took a breath and then clarified. “I say kinda serious ‘cause I am not too serious when I am having fun. And I hope to be having a lot of fun with ya.” R’le looked a little thoughtful then just shrugged. “Guess that’s what I want to say.”
Quiorith got a bit distracted with R’le, observing quietly. He got R’le’s feelings, and so he could feel the way he was just holding his breath so to speak. Quiorith kept very still, to see what was going to come of it all.
Retny listened quietly to him then she smiled mischeiviously, sitting up and kissed him slowly, wrapping her arms around his neck. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to say something," she told him with a hint of a laugh in her voice. "If i'm your only girl... then to the best of my ability, youll be my only guy - and I say that in regards to Ori's flights... but... yes. Faranth. Yes."
She kissed him again, her eyes gilttering slightly, a mischevious glint. "Of course we can't be too serious... you're you and I'm me.... and we have to have fun too!" She was happy. She kissed him again, her arms still wrapped around his neck. She had pulled herself over onto his lap. She was happy. She was more than happy. She was excited. Very excited. She hoped she had shocked him a little bit. That would have been fun.
R’le got an answer right quick. Retny’s lips against his were a pretty definitive answer. Probably the best way he could have asked her to answer. He looks surprised, just a little, before grinning like a maniac. Flights were always going to be a thing, as Retny reminded him with her words, but hey, humans could do whatever they liked in the meantime. That bridge was a while off, for Retny. So, he elected to not think about that. Rather, he’d pay more attention to her arms around his neck and how she was sitting on his lap. And enough kissing that he couldn’t quite keep up with. Still, he was glad, she seemed excited about it too. He put his arms around her waist and looked a might bit mischievous.
“How long exactly have you been waiting for me to say something…?” It really wasn’t fair that she was kissing him too much and he wasn’t ready for it. There was enough time for a little bit of payback. “Well either way.” He leaned forward and kissed her back, just a little longer then he’d kissed him the first time. He grinned again before suddenly switching to a vaguely annoyed face. He should have expected it sooner or later he could only have so much peace.
“And here I am without a shirt to chew on.” A Flame firelizard had just appeared, having found Quiorith and was now staring intently at him. R’le kept his arms just where they were as Burn stared him down, obviously wanting something. The two had a brief stare off before Burn floated a little closer, slowly opening his mouth. “Eh.” R’le sighed. “At least he didn’t show up while I was talking. I don’t think I could have forgiven him.” He gave Retny a quick squeeze before reluctantly letting her go and looking around for a shirt that Burn could chew on before he found some food. Firelizards.
She grinned and luaghed slightly, her lips still close to his. "I think since the day that Ori and I touched down... I saw how you looked at me then... and I hope you saw how I looked at you. With such interest." She blushed slightly. Flights would be a thing, yes, but that was alright... and if Faranth permitted, she would end up in R'le's arms despite who her dragoness chose in flight.
She let any words she might have said be swallowed up with his kiss - so passionate and fierce. SHe kissed him back with equal fervor, her fingers twisting into his hair as she tried to pull him against her tightly.
She huffed at the flame firelizard. "Why now..." she said, clinging to R'le for a moment before the Flame threatened him and grumbled, getting off of R'le, pulling him into a brief kiss before he went looking for his shirt. She liked him without it better, she thought. It was so warm in here anyways... she sighed and rose. Today she would dress nicely and wear her rather dressy shirt and pants. But first... she would need to wash up a little at least.
That she did quickly, watching R'le before she pulled on some clothing - ending up going with something simple and quick rather than something fancy wit lots of laces. "I hope that Burn doesn't get a mouthful of skin rather than shirt anytime soon...."
She smiled. "I am glad he did not interrupt as well."
