( From the edge of the bed, she tries not to watch him dress, to give him some privacy, but her gaze always returns to him — lingering on his lithe frame, still thinking he looks ethereal in the candlelight. Smoothing her hands down the front of the robe, she closes it and ties the ropes around her waist before untrapping her hair from within the robe.
The answer he gives her feels like a nonanswer, lingering between yes and no. It is infuriating, especially when she needs an answer to know if she should prepare for the short notice of tomorrow or if she has time. As desperate as she wants an answer, she doesn't push it — she doesn't want to be overbearing or smothering. So, she nods in agreement.
Until today she wanted nothing to do with any of their dragons. Not to meet them or get to know them or ride them. So what's waiting a few more days?
Ultimately, her excitement and interest don't lie with meeting Vhagar or getting to know her but with partaking in his interests. To experience his true self behind whatever mask he wears when around her. She wants to be part of his life's more intimate and private details, but she also knows they are moving at an alarming rate, and he might not be prepared for all that. And because of that, she is more than willing to go at whatever pace he might pick for them. )
I would like that, ( she replies and continues to watch him. Wondering if he will approach her or head straight for the door. ) If I lean the way, I could visit you instead, or if you would prefer a full night's rest, we can come together another time.
