Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

Ce'lie leaned back in her chair and clasped her hands together on the table. She thought it quite interesting and a little bit funny that this young man seemed so interested in her. Granted there was really no issue with age and couplings, especially during flights, but Ce'lie was a bit old fashioned - she did usually attempt to couple with a rider around her own age, preferably older.
The greenrider found herself blushing as she listened to O'wain compliment her Twilirth. "She is, isn't she?" Ce'lie's smile held the barest hint of embarrassment in it. She was used to hearing complimentary comments about Twilirth's mastery of the skies, but it still made her slightly uncomfortable. Even after all these turns. Ce'lie still found it something of a miracle that Twilirth, talented, gorgeous Twilirth, had chosen her among the others on the sands.
[twilirth] Don't be ridiculous, of course I chose you, you were the only one good enough for me, [/twilirth] her green responded confidently as she did three backward loops in the air. The dragon folded her wings on the descent to gain speed and extended her wings just at the right moment to maximize speed on the ascent. It was effortless - Ce'lie detected a bit of boredom on Twilirth's part, but she had told the dragon not to show off while in public. Twilirth's abilities were well known and there was no need to flaunt it about the Weyr. Her bonded didn't like the restriction, but understood the implications of flaunting her prowess and so did as she was bade.
What do you think of Nishkath?
[twilirth]Hmmmm…. [/twilirth] the dragon responded, taking her time to consider the brown as she passed him overhead. The brown was clean, which was always something Twilirth considered when looking at a brown. He was a very dark brown, in fact very close to black, along the top of his body. Lower down, the color of his hide actually darkened more, changing to black father down. He had some scarring on his hide, which was both a plus and a minus in Twilirth's mind - he wasn't afraid of fighting, but he might be too quick to get into a fight and perhaps not be quick enough to evade and defend himself properly.
As the brown momentarily stretched his wings, Twilirth noticed that his wing membranes were also black. [twilirth] Some scarring.. not quite sure what to make of that. However, he looks nice and healthy, quite a deep brown, actually. Fading to black as you look down from his back, and his wing membrane matches the black as well. Rather unique, [/twilirth] the dragon commented. [twilirth] Actually I'm surprised he's not drooling and cuddling with me already. He has that reputation, when his rider's got a new conquest in sight, and he does seem to have an interest in you, [/twilirth] the astute dragon told her rider in a bland tone that was tinged with humor.
Ce'lie, meanwhile, considered the man's physical appearance for the first time. She rarely paid attention to the physical when first meeting someone. He was quite attractive, really. He did have a reputation for being a ladies' man, but Ce'lie had no issue with that. His personality was… congenial enough, and he was certainly polite. As for the age difference… she really did want to minimize something like that, considering her relationship with I'shan...
Well, we both know that he likes parties and coupling, Ce'lie responded drily. But since I'm not looking for anything beyond what happens during your next flight, that might be just perfect.
O'wain was making a good impression on the experienced greenrider. Perhaps it would be different post-flight with him. She didn't want the awkwardness that she felt around I'shan. O'wain seemed to be more mature, both in present and past dealings.
Ce'lie wasn't worried about her dragon's choice. Even during flights, Twilirth always tried to honor her rider's wishes. If asked, Ce'lie wouldn't say that he was out of the running, but her bonded was exceptionally hard to catch, despite - or maybe due to - the frequency of her flights, coupled with her love of flying. Twilirth did tend to rise more often than most greens.
The frequent flights kept Ce'lie on her toes. She had been playing the field for well over five turns now, never having the same partner twice. She never knew just who might end up in her bed. Twilirth did seem to avoid dragons partnered with riders that she disliked, something that she was eternally grateful for. Ce'lie had been desperately trying to avoid sleeping with another dragonrider more than once, but it was becoming more difficult the longer she was at Katila. She was afraid of forming an attachment that was more than superficial with a rider.
"Oh dear. I'm sorry, I got a bit distracted," Ce'lie laughed softly, winking at O'wain. "Where were we? Oh, yes. Discussing who the celebration is supposedly for. I am grateful for your willingness to be the party figurehead, but…." the dragon rider paused. Ce'lie scanned the dining room again, seeing if there was anyone else she wanted to invite. She caught the eye of another rider and tried to motion them over to the table, but she wasn't sure if her gesture was seen. "I'd rather not say it was yours just in case V'riy gets suspicious and asks about your date of birth - it would be too easy for him to uncover the truth. Sometimes, he's really too smart for his own good. And he's terribly curious. Who else has a birthing day this month?" She ran her fingers through her hair, mussing it a bit, as she considered.
