Ciara crept into the weyr and stretched languorously. It had been a long day and she was quite tired. K'sedel evidently hadn't arrived yet, took the small bundle wrapped in a towel from where she had tucked it beneath her arm and placed it upon the table. She had already seen Radela to bed and was ready for bed herself. Well, so o anyway.
Ciara took the hair band from her hair, her curls tumbling down around her face. She took her brush and began to run it through the thick red strands. If she didn't brush it before bed, it would take a good hour to just try and run a brush through it in the morning.
K'sedel came in and just stood watching his weyrmate. It would be a shame to disturb her as she worked on her hair.
Ciara began to hum softly, a tune that she had heard often played and that she enjoyed watching people dance to. She didn't know the words, so she sounded it wordlessly as she tamed the mass upon her head.
Once she got out as many tangles as she could, she rebraided it and put the hairband on the end. She put away her brush and turned, then started when she saw K'sedel watching her. "Oh! When did you get here? I didn't hear you."
"A few minutes ago," he said. "Long enough to watch you brush out your hair."
"Did you find it entertaining?" A gentle smile tugged the corners of Ciara's lips upward. She moved to the table, hand gently brushing K'sedel's arm as she walked past, then picked up the small bundle. "I brought you a bubbly - along with one for myself. Care to partake?"
"It would have been a shame to disturb you," he said as he reached out for the sweet treat.
Ciara unwrapped the bubblies, still warm and gooey. She grinned as she placed one in K'sedel's hand, then took a bite out of the second. She lowered herself into a chair, chewing thoughtfully, then swallowing before asking, "How was your day?"
"Good, drills went well," he said after savouring a bite himself. "The wing's getting used to the changeover."
"What about you?" Ciara ask softly after savouring another bite. "Are you getting used to the changeover?"
"I'm getting there," he walked over to the couch and sat down. "I won't deny it was a shock to the system at first. Of all people for it to be K'reyel. U'das I might have accepted."
Ciara got up and moved over to sit next to K'sedel. She leaned against him, her free hand gently playing at his arm as she finished off her bubbly. "It's not so bad, is it?"
"There's a lot to do, and with Mai's baby coming so early, I'm still handling a lot of it."
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"She might appreciate a visitor."
"I'll go tomorrow after breakfast." Ciara offered as she placed a kiss upon K'sedel's shoulder, then ran her hand lazily up and down his arm. "Is there anything else I can do? Anything that might help lessen the stress you're under?"
"Join me in the bathing room?" he suggested. "I need someone to scrub my back."
Soft laughter escaped and she sat up. "All right, I think I can handle that."
"I'm sure you can."
"If you're good," Ciara said softly as she stood and offered K'sedel his hand, "Perhaps I can do a bit more."
He took it and got to his feet. "And if I'm bad?"
"Then you'll have to be punished." Ciara laughed and led him to the bathing room.
