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!

“I don’t know much more than you,” Valerian whispered when Allendris appeared beside him and spoke in a hushed tone. Why had Jada kept this to herself? She should have known better than to hide an injury, especially when it started to hurt more than usual and she felt weak. “But it’s Jada. She’s too stubborn to go down without a fight, or to go down at all.” He remembered all the times little Jada had continued to appear at Litir’s door despite the door slamming in her face and being told to go away. She wouldn’t give up then and he knew that while they had both changed in the turns they were apart, she was still Litir’s bratty and stubborn little sister.
“I’m here, Jada.” He gave a small smile though he doubted she could see it so since he was standing by her feet, he gave one a little squeeze of reassurance, “but you can’t sleep just yet. Wait until Talian says you can, okay, J?” While his memory was spotty when it came to people that didn’t interest him or from deep in his past, Valerian did remember Litir’s nickname for his little sister and since Jada had somehow made herself into his little sister since reconnecting, Valerian couldn’t help but use it now as another means of comfort.
He frowned when Talian appeared before him and ushered them all aside while everyone else had been ordered out of the room. At least his friend knew better than to try to kick him out as well. He wouldn’t have gone and arguing would only have wasted precious time Jada needed to look at her wounds. He couldn’t see as well as where he had been standing but when the bandages were fully removed, Valerian was suddenly thankful for the distant view. His stomach went a little queasy but his concern for a friend was too great to let his mind focus on the feeling of being sick or dashing out of the door away from a sight he really didn’t want to or need to see. But the real shock came when Talian asked for someone to hold her down and he stepped forward to help despite the desire not to see the wound up close but the dragonrider that Kerrin was usually seen with stepped forward as well. Who was he and why was he even there?
He’s the rider of Ayyonth, the blue we saw outside. Ayyonth says they brought Jada and Talian here. Veeth’s gentle voice touched his mind and Valerian relaxed a bit. He had enough to worry about right then, he didn’t need to know that Jada was secretly with a bluerider. But it sounded legit enough though why the rider was already there at the Barracks was a mystery.
None of that was important, however, when Talian moved aside and Valerian got a clean view of Jada on the table once again and his mouth hung open for a moment before snapping shut. She was topless. Topless! How had he missed that before when he stormed into the room? Was he really that preoccupied with her well being that he didn’t even notice she had nearly everything on display for everyone in the room or did the female body really leave that little of an impression on him? Both theories were probable but now that he noticed, Valerian couldn’t stop noticing. On impulse, he grabbed R’nd’s arm to stop him from approaching Jada. He had to be brotherly and keep potential suitors away, right? Then again R’nd had carried her in and seen everything already anyway and Jada might not want Valerian seeing her so exposed and fevered on top of it.
Sighing, Valerian released his hold on R’nd and stepped back, silently indicating the decision he had reached. Not-so-silently, though in a low whisper, he added, “watch where your hands go and if she calls for me you better step aside, rider of Ayyonth.” Veeth hadn’t supplied him with a name but Valerian still worked with what he had.
Why are you so shocked to see Jada’s body? You like each other, right? Veeth’s melodic voice made the questions seem so innocent but it shocked Valerian all the same as he returned to stand next to Allendris. What does that have to do with anything? Who have you been talking with to think that’s normal? Who have you been talking with to think that’s not normal? But your reaction was cute, and you’re still stealing glances you know. I can’t wait until the next time you have a surprise encounter with a person. You’re going to be so much fun!
Valerian had turned his gaze to B’jin when Veeth called him out on looking at Jada’s exposed chest again, concentrating on someone else until he got the childish urge to keep peeking out of his system so he missed what else his meddling dragon was saying. What was that? Nothing. How quickly and cheerfully Veeth said that before his eyes started swirling once more with his concern for their friend had Valerian slightly worried.
