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!

S'bel raised an eyebrow at the young woman as she defended Ipsyth. "No. No he kind of is. You just don't know him as well as I do," he told her, sardonic smile on his face. Still, there was a fondness in his voice that was not faked. Even if S'bel acknowledged that his dragon was a little bit on the crazy side, it didn't mean he thought any less of him. How could he? Acceptance of the fact that Ipsyth was not all there had kept him sane, S'bel liked to think. If he based his own perception of reality off his dragon's, he would have been driven crazy himself long ago, he was sure. Exile had almost made sure of that. Which made it probably even more foolish when he had left R'mil and Kerath.
Something fell in the pit of S'bel's stomach as he thought of that name. And the actually maybe genuine smile on his face directed at his dragon almost faltered. He forced it to remain, but it was a struggle. His mood darkened considerably underneath, but nothing noteworthy changed in his appearance. He could almost taste the bitterness as it began to well up in him, but at least he had a distraction for the moment. He told himself to just stop thinking about it. Focus on the task at hand. He pushed down his thoughts for the time being, grateful for the fact that once they were in the air, Sennia wouldn't likely be able to see his face clearly and he could scowl all he wanted during the flight.
He could feel the girl tense behind him. He'd pay to see her alone on dragonback. That was something to look forward to if she ever impressed her own dragon. He had to imagine that the flying lesson was frequently a train wreck. S'bel would have made an awful Weyrlingmaster. He would probably just laugh at them all constantly when they did things wrong. He turned to smile at her, saying "Hold on then." He patted his abdomen to encourage her to wrap her arms around him. He then waited for her to latch on before signaling for Ipsyth to take off.
The blue lifted off the ground, winging up into the air, gaining altitude until they were high enough for him to glide. With the location of the "New Katila Weyr" lying on the edge of the forest already, it was a fairly short ride, actually. S'bel didn't talk during it. He didn't feel like it, and talking during flight was a pain anyway with the wind being so loud around them. So he had an excuse. After a bit, Ipsyth began to descend, eventually wheeling down into a clearing on the edge of the woods.
When they landed, S'bel dismounted, pushing a smile onto his features once again as he said, "See, that wasn't so bad, right?" before he looked up to see how Sennia was actually doing now.
