"Embarrassed? No, though I thought you might be. I know how prim and proper you are, m'lord." The last bit was said in mocking tone as she grinned to him. Relaxing in her seat she sipped her klah and looked across the Hall, "Something tells me this S'rring fellow doesn't even know what he has gotten in to."
Roselle wasn't buying the fact the Candidate was seeing the mentioned brownrider, not with the way she'd been clinging on to M'gnum. Still she didn't feel as though mentioning such suspicions to M'gnum was warranted. After all, he may think he had broken the girl's psyche and needed to go fix her. Roselle was fine keeping him to herself, the girl could figure out how to graciously take rejection on her own.
Reaching across the table she laid her hand on one of his, "I have time for all of that, I have no plans today." She was lying of course, she had Wing training but she was fine missing it to spend time with the bronzerider - she needed the escape.

M'gnum chuckled at Roselle's words, replying, "I think you might be right. I'll have to make sure to speak to the boy, that is certain, to warn him if nothing else." As she reached out, he took her smaller hand in his, and smiled warmly as she said that she was completely available.
Lifting her hand and kissing it gently, he replied, "Well, then, it looks like we have quite the day ahead of us. First, some food... what would you like me to get for you, my dear?"

"Some meatrolls would be nice. I'd also welcome some greenery." Lips curl in a light smile at the kiss to her hand. "Something sweet would be nice too. Just bring me a little of everything?"
She would normally insist that she could get her own food, she wasn't a cripple after all, but sometimes she enjoyed the pampering that the bronzerider insisted on providing. Sometimes she was content to sit back and let him treat her like a lady - even if she didn't see herself as one. It was... nice. Still she hoped he didn't get too used to it as she was far from being a delicate little flower for him to nuture.
Releasing M'gnum's hand she watched as he stood and headed to fetch them food, just as Pan circled into view in the rafters. Narrowing her eyes she made a clicking noise and the razorclaw dove down to land on the table's ledge. Reaching out she pet the avian lightly, watching as he ruffled his feathers before standing straight and tilting his head at her. "I'll have food for you in a moment, little piggy."

M'gnum weaved his way through the crowd to reach the serving tables, grabbing a couple plates and piling each with food, Roselle's with what she requested, his own with a good assortment of delectable-looking treats. Making his way back through the crowd, keeping an eye open for Camille while he was away from Roselle, he reached their table once more without incident and sat down, placing Roselle's plate before her and sitting down himself as he noticed their new companion.
"Oh, hello there, Pan," he said, smiling at the razorclaw as he carefully extended his hand, curious as to whether the small male would allow the bronzerider to pet him.

Roselle couldn't help but smile as she saw the bronzerider approach once more and set down her plate of food before her. Picking up a meatroll she was about to offer it to Pan when M'gnum noticed him and offered a greeting. Pan tilted his head first one way then the other before promptly giving a light bite to the man's finger. Then his attention was on Roselle and she chuckled as she gave him the meatroll.
"No hard feelings, but he was waiting for food. You weren't food." Her amusement was clear in her voice as she spoke before nodding to the plate in front of her, "Thank you."
With that she dug in, using her fork to stab at some of the greens before taking a bite.

Seeing the bird sink his small, but powerful, beak into the meatroll Roselle offered, M'gnum retracted his hand as he chuckled and replied, "Considering what he's doing to that meatroll, I'm glad I'm not food."
Placing a napkin across his lap and smoothly starting in on his own food, he nodded in response to her thanks and began to eat. After a few bites, he swallowed his current mouthful and said, "This is very pleasant... ever since I entered the dining hall and Camille found me, I had been worried I wouldn't be able to find you and you would be upset at finding me eating with another woman. I am quite glad things turned out as they did." Shaking his head ruefully, he added, "I just don't know what has driven that girl to be so interested in me, despite the fact I'm nearly old enough to be her father."

Pan ripped apart the meatroll before beginning to devour it, while Roselle was content to just pick apart her plate little by little. A meatroll here. Some more greens. Some of the sweet tart that M'gnum had been kind enough to get for her. Another sip of klah. She was in no hurry to eat, unlike Pan.
After taking another sip of her klah she looked at the bronzerider and shook her head, "I'm not sure. Women are crazy creatures, that's for sure. Are you going to spend all afternoon talking about her? I thought once I chased her off you would be mine." There was a slight hint of harshness in the greenrider's voice, perhaps some annoyance as well. She didn't like knowing his thoughts were lingering on the young blonde - nor did she like acknowledging the fact that the girl was attractive. And young, which while Roselle was not old she definitely no longer considered herself 'young' anymore either.

Reaching out and taking the hand that wasn't holding her fork in his, M'gnum said, "I'm sorry, my dear. I did not mean to make you think I was ignoring you... trust me, I am yours." Shaking his head slightly, as if physically shaking free any more thoughts on the confusing young woman and her odd obsession with him, he continued eating his food, before suddenly pausing once again and saying, "Oh, I just remembered, I was sparring with M'ta, and he apparently heard about the fact that we had started seeing each other. He expressed interest in having himself and his weyrmate Ruliana having dinner with the two of us... is that something you would enjoy?"

Eating lightly as M'gnum spoke she avoided his gaze in favor of looking down at her plate. She had no issue with seeing the older bronzerider and being somewhat affectionate with him even in public. But to acknowledge they were seeing eachother by going as a couple to dinner with another couple? She had thought that M'gnum would be uneasy with it - after all she was just a greenrider and he was aspiring to be Weyrleader. Not to mention the pair had not really defined their relationship just yet - they got along well enough (most of the time) and she did like him...
Are you ashamed I am no Gold? Do you feel less worthy of Higginth's because you are not a Goldrider? Higginth's does not seem to mind it, as much as he is around.
An inward groan, Of course I am not ashamed, you are the loveliest Green. I just know typically Bronzes and Golds go together...
To mate and clutch, yes. Higginith and I will never clutch but that does not mean you and Higginith's cannot, 'elle-mine.
Her face was quick to turn a lovely shade of crimson at her Green's blunt suggestion she and M'gnum should have a child. Finally she decided she was being ridiculous and looked up at the bronzerider, "That sounds lovely, as long as you are alright with it of course."

Roselle did not pull her hand from his, but she sat silently for what seemed like longer than would be normal after he asked his question, eating her food and not looking up at the bronzerider until he was about to ask her what was the matter. Finally, just before he said something, she responded to him, and he smiled as he replied with playful confusion, "Of course I'm all right with it... I would not have suggested it if I were not."
His voice shifting slightly to one of curious concern, he then added, "You seem... unsure, however. Are you sure you're all right with it? I do not wish to force social situations upon you that you are not comfortable with... I realize you do not likely really know M'ta or Ruliana, so if meeting them in such a way would be uncomfortable for you, I will not be offended if you wish to bow out. Nor will they, I am sure." He squeezed her hand affectionately and smiled reassuringly, trying his best to dispel the un-suredness she seemed to be feeling.

'It isn't that I'm uncomfortable, it is just I'm not good enough for you.' Is what Roselle would have said, if she could come to terms with the thought that she wasn't good enough for someone else. She had never had such doubts about herself before - why suddenly did she feel them now? Instead of such a vulnerable admission, especially in the Hall where they were surrounded by various other people. "No, of course. It would be nice to meet your friends."
Another few bites of her food and she felt full, so she offered what remained to Pan. He ate happily, not minding being able to skip hunting. Sipping at her klah until it was gone she offered a smile at M'gnum, "So, after this what would you like to do? And if you say training I might have to hurt you." All followed up by another sweet smile.

M'gnum smiled wider as she replied that she would be happy to double-date with M'ta and Ruliana, and squeezed her hand once more as he said, "I'm glad to hear that. I'm sure they will love you... M'ta seemed quite interested in meeting you, after all the praise I heaped upon you when you came up in our conversation."
Taking the napkin from his nap and folding it upon his plate, he waited until Pan seemed finished with the leftovers before snatching up Roselle's plate as well and standing, saying, "Let me drop these off at the kitchen, and then we can perhaps go for a horseback ride... I know of a wonderful place nearby I think you would enjoy."

Despite her best efforts not to let the knowledge he had been 'heaping praises upon her' in conversation with his friend M'ta get to her, she could feel her cheeks redden slightly. She watched as he finished his meal and then stood to gather up their plates - politely waiting for Pan to finish his meal first.
A soft smile was given to the bronzerider as he offered a suggestion for their afternoon, "Are you sure you don't have duties to attend to?" She teases lightly before he walks off to return their plates back to the kitchens.

Smiling at Roselle as he grabbed her plate, he responded, "My dear, I have been planning this day for a week now. Why do you think I was so desperate to escape the young lady who attempted to delay me and find you? Today is our day, and I will not let anything short of an assault against the Weyr keep me from spending the day with you. THAT is my duty." Turning, he moved with purpose through the crowd to drop the plates off in the kitchen, then quickly made his way back to Roselle's side.
Extending his elbow, he said, "If I may? A fine walk to the stables, and it shouldn't be long before we're off."

Pan chirruped softly before taking off from the table. A quick circle was made in the air above his bonded before he disappeared up into the rafters. Roselle smiled softly to herself as she thought on her razorclaw; she was glad she hadn't managed to find herself chained to one of those sharding salamandyrs or even a firelizard. She was content with her two companions - Pan and Kainu were both quite independant as far as 'pets' went. She doubted she'd have the patience to deal with a clingy firelizard or salamandyr - she wasn't quite sure how M'gnum could stand to deal with his salamandyr. She had met the green on more than one occassion and despite the fact she was constantly sweet, Roselle just didn't buy into it all.
Lost in thought she jumped a bit when M'gnum returned to the table, offering out his arm to her. Standing she brushed her hands lightly over her shirt and pants and then slipped her arm through his. "Sounds nice, though you don't fool me you know. I could tell you were attracted to that young girl earlier." Her voice had a slight teasing note to it, but otherwise was fairly neutral. Like she'd ever let him know she had been jealous.
