Unexpected Friendship

The story of how Rayla’s parents, Lain and Tiadrin, met. Pre-TDP.  "Psst."Tiadrin's ears perk up at the sound, but she simply leans her whole body against Keiran's and closes her eyes. The leaves rustle above her and she peeks an eye open to see a part of amber eyes staring back at her. “Ya got ta do better than tha’, Lain,” she sasses him, a smug smile on her face, as she opens both eyes.Lain pulls his body up to jump out of the tree and does a backflip before landing in the grass in front of his friend. “I knew ya’d find me,” he replies, flopping down next to her. “An’ it wasn’t like I was really tryin’.”Tiadrin covers her mouth to stifle a giggle. “Oh, Lain. Ya seem ta like just bein’ silly for ma,” she says once the laughter dies. “Sometimes I wonder if ya had chosen the wrong dream.”Lain arches an eyebrow at her. “Wha’ do ya mean by tha’?” he asks, genuinely confused.
