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!

They said tactics was immediate planning for the immediate problem, while strategy was the plans you laid before a battle. Ravana brought the same focus to planning to oil and bathe Shanith as she did to the chess matches she played with whoever sat across a chessboard from her.
The plan she laid for bathing and oiling her dragon seldom worked for longer than half way through Shanith's bath. The fact was the dragon tended to hate sitting still, or standing still, especially when there was water to be played in! Add that to the fact that Ravana didn't think well on her feet, and Shanith did think very well on her feet, plus knew the plans laid as well as Ravana meant bathing the green was at best an exercise in Dunk-the-Rider and at worst a battle of wills between the pair. Oiling was even worse, but it needed to be done.
Stubborn often wondered why Shanith kicked up such a fuss when it was time to be bathed and oiled. The firelizard liked being bathed and oiled, and otherwise pampered. As Ravana was knocked back into the water and came up swearing, Stubborn wondered why on earth the green rider didn't simply ask a bronze to order Shanith to hold still.
The dragon settled after dunking Ravana for a fourth time when she had twitched her tail and collided with the rider's legs. She tried to hold still as Ravana scrubbed her side, she did. But the water was so nice and cool and she wanted to play. Except she had just played, but she wanted to play more! Sensing her direction of thouoght, Ravana murmured to her trying to distract her from thoughts of playing and swimming and flying.
A glare at Shanith when she twitched held her still for all of ten more minutes, Ravana adeptly scrubbing her side when the dragon saw something and took off, once again dunking her rider into the water. "Shanith, get back here, you oversized wherry!" Shanith looked at her and plainly decided to ignore her for chasing the unfortunate firelizard that was hunting for dinner over the lake.
Frustrated, Ravana waded to shore and settled on the beach to wait for her dragon. She should have asked for help but she was paranoid of seeing B'run seeing her looking like a drowned rat and...a rider was supposed to be able to bathe and oil their dragon without all this chaos! It wasn't like Shanith was a big green. In fact, for her length she was under tall!
Stubborn decided to go get help. As amusing as this was, the little gold wouldn't be bathed today until after Shanith was bathed and oiled, and the green was being exceptionally difficult about it today. Stubborn wanted her bath and the only way to get it was to seek out help.
She sought out the one who made hers go soft, and popped between in front of him and sending him image after image of Ravana getting dunked in the lake by a Shanith who just couldn't hold still. She had been dunked five times already, held under water once by accident, and tripped three times. Entreaty came from the lizard, as she begged him for his help in getting the green clean and and soft so she could be bathed also.
