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!

Valerian was willing to accept B’jin going for guys that could be his children, so long as he wasn’t counted among those poor fools, and didn’t care that the bluerider currently sweet talking Jada seemed to rank high on the list of interest, but when that irritating smirk appeared and clearly taunted him, well that was something else. The sight and smell of Jada’s wounds had nothing on the look that was obviously done only to tease him and Valerian’s face scrunched up as if he was only barely able to keep from throwing up. The mere thought of B’jin hitting on him or them in bed together was enough to momentarily distract the young Harper from the serious situation surrounding him. At least he didn’t have to worry about ever having either nightmare come true. At a little nose brushing against his hand, Valerian glanced down to see Veeth sitting primly, giving off an aura of innocence though his eyes were swirling with his amusement.
Oh Faranth, he was a bluerider now. B’jin was a greenrider. That was an equation he didn’t want to further work out though he knew the answer would be that life was going to be stressful from now on.
His attention snapped back to Jada when he heard his nickname called out twice. Ing fa me? Valerian was confused by what was being asked of him until he ran the sentence through his mind a few times and realized Jada wanted a song. While he actually loved singing and didn’t mind being the centre of attention when music was involved, which likely surprised most people that knew him as the guy that stood back and observed more than spoke, Valerian hadn’t sang publically since arriving at Katila. He still hummed songs while alone in his room, working on a song or simply because he was bored, and actual singing was done out at his tree where he sat alone. Jada sure picked an interesting time to get him to break his silence and show off his voice because there was no way he would tell her no right then. If she had been perfectly healthy and trying to tease him into singing, then she would have earned a glare and denial, goldrider and hope for the future or not.
But what to sing? He could treat her to one of his original songs but she wasn’t in any shape to appreciate that treat. So that left a song everyone knew. No, one that likely only B’jin would know since he was a Harper. There was a song Jada’s mother loved to sing for lessons and Valerian had been treated to that wonderful voice again and again over the turns and hearing her sing the ballad that wasn’t too popular outside of the Hall was a treat every time. Since it was such a staple of their childhood, it seemed like a good choice for the moment. Of course it could backfire and make Jada emotional and distraught but he had more faith in the stubborn brat than that. Besides, Breccan had just slipped something to Jada and he imagined it was fellis which would aid in keeping her calm.
Without another thought, Valerian started the song as he took one step forward and to the right so he could see Jada’s face and she could see him if she tried to glance around for him. While his spoken voice was soft and often carried a bored intonation, his singing voice was a strong tenor, though the higher register weren’t easily reached after puberty settled in. He knew there were better singers out there, but Valerian was still proud of his ability to carry a tune and give songs the respect they deserved. A quick glance and slight nod was given to B’jin as the only indication that he was okay with the senior Harper joining in if he did in fact know the song.
