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!

When Nadioth’s thoughts touched hers Nerreh grinned at Vaeyla excitedly. Sure, Nerreh had spoken with plenty of dragons in her life — came with being a weyrbrat with lots of close dragonriding family. She’d lived with her mother, siblings, and grandfather until she’d moved to the Candidate barracks, so she’d talked to her grandfather’s chatty brown plenty. Her uncle’s dragon spoke to her, and she had a few cousins around whose dragons she’d talked to before. None of them were golds though, not a single shiny hide Impressed in her family, so having a gold speak to her directly was pretty damn cool.
“Of course I’ll be there!” She said immediately upon Vee’s request, pausing a moment later as Nadioth spoke to her — again! Wait, was Nadioth calling her one of the best Candidates? Nerreh took a moment to think through the gold’s words again, checking the meaning. Oh, Faranth, that was almost certainly what she meant. She turned wide eyed to Vaeyla and nodded wordlessly at her comment confirming that Nadioth did indeed like her.
“Yeah, I mean, I guess.” She said quietly. Nerreh knew she had over ten turns in which to Impress a dragon, and it was pretty likely considering her family’s record of dragonriders, but still. “I just hope it’s sooner rather than later, you know?” Nerreh admitted. Cause waiting sucked and being free of it would be great. “And yeah, I’d like a fighting dragon, but like, I guess I wouldn’t say no if a gold decided to claim me, you know? It just doesn’t really seem to fit me, I dunno.” It was so hard for her to articulate why, but the idea of being a gold rider was just weird. It sat wrong on her shoulders, like a too tight jacket that limited her movement, hampered her breathing, nothing like the gift Vee had given her. Nerreh didn’t lie, if she Impressed a gold dragon, she Impressed a gold dragon, it just felt… wrong.
“But hey,” She said, shaking off her thoughts and smiling again, “At least any Clutch Nadioth has will be at Ista, so I can always stand for it.” Because M’ris was a reasonable human being and let women stand even if there wasn’t a gold egg. Honestly, did the other Weyrleaders want dead hatchlings? “No matter what I can be there, so Nadioth doesn’t have to worry something like rules will keep me from Standing.” Nerreh gave Vaeyla a smile. “I’d definitely be there for you both anyway, even if I wasn’t allowed to Stand, you know.”
