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!

Kira was startled by someone - a man - speaking up. Her eyes rose to meet his. He was far too tall and far too close and Kira was going to make sure that at least one of those things changed very soon. Her head tilted and she aimed a friendly smile at the man. Inwardly, though, she wondered what he was doing bothering her about anything at all. Certainly he didn't actually expect her to take him up on that offer, did he? Her eyes ran over him, from his formal clothing to the way he used his height to loom over her. And then she shook her head, her smile still fixed on her face. She didn't care to drink (at least, not with strangers that had questionable motives) and most definitely didn't socialize with men who waved bottles of wine in their hands while their hair fluffed out like a wherry's feathers. He looked ridiculous.
"Kira." Short, sweet, and to the point. It was the smallest bit of kindness she'd offer since he had offered her his name as well. The overdressed giant was in her way, so Kira contemplated how to get around him. That wasn't possible given his size, so instead Kira turned around and walked around the other side of the table. Where did some people get their nerve? Going around asking strange girls to wine. Just what kind of girl did he take her for? Especially since he was old enough to be her father! That was sad, but plying one as young as her with liquor...
Good wine. Kira stopped abruptly and turned to look at him, eyes narrowed. His appearance was a mix of things, his clothing pointing towards a minor Holder but his bearing more of a servant's. Her lips parted momentarily as she contemplated what she was going to say. A deep breath, and Kira spilled out her words. "Where d-did you get that-t w-wine?" It was a carefully considered question. Kira didn't like speaking unless she thought she had reason to, and right now she believed she had reason to. Her hand trailed along the edge of the table as she took a few more steps, inwardly debating on turning the corner so that she could confront him. Then again, if she did confront him what good would it do? The disparity in their sizes put out some of her bravado, and it deflated a little more when she realized that he probably outranked her.
And that meant that she was starting a fight she'd lose. Kira wasn't stupid. Biting her lip, Kira looked down at the ground, giving him her best appearance of submission and apology. Another consideration of her options, then a deep breath before she let out what she'd put together. "S-sorry. Didn't mean to ac-cuse y-you of anything. Hope you enjoy-y it." And she meant it. She hoped he enjoyed it so much he downed enough to choke on it. Maybe she would get lucky and be the one to find the body. Either way, her business with him was finished, doubly so since they were now completely alone in the kitchen and Kira felt incredibly uncomfortable. She didn't even like being with Falon alone. This man who had a stare that would peel a redfruit at a hundred paces was even worse. But he had to leave first - she still had a few things left to clean up before she could head home.
