Rhiannon
At Tal's protest, Rhiannon snorted, tossing her hair over her shoulder dismissively. She might be shorter than Tal, but she was hardly small enough to be considered short, and she hadn't been for quite some time. Which he would have known, if he had been around. Still, it was secretly good to see him. She didn't have so many friends that she could afford to dismiss one of her oldest, after all!
She stirred the chili, pulling out a fresh spoon to taste it before adding a dash of paprika and a few more shakes of chili powder. She heard Tal unboxing the package behind her and glanced back to see a few boxes of candles that he was now checking over for any damage. She was sure they would be fine. He was good at his job; he wouldn't have been gone from Halo so often, otherwise.
"Yeah, a few seasons back," she said proudly, tossing a grin over her shoulder. "I'm not just a grunt anymore! Mom and Dad were so proud." Of course, they'd also encouraged her to keep climbing the ladder. They wanted to see her get as far as she could in life. "And what about you? You're based in King's End now, right?"
