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 guess so,” Madiquel agreed quietly, her tone not really enthusiastic. She was enjoying her time away from all the hustle and bustle of their other friends, of getting to just chat with Ayontay, and she really wasn’t looking forward to sneaking into the community room she was lodged in; she’d have to be careful not to wake anyone up, she’d have to change in the dark, and her bed would be cold. Her Papa always kept their weyr nice and warm, and Madiquel missed the open fire that she spent more time tending to than he did, but he always lit it.
Madiquel’s expression softened at Ayontay’s whispered words of gratitude, and she resisted the urge to hug him only because they were both still covered in the oil they’d been slathering on their firelizards. “Of course,” she said just as softly, giving her friend a warm smile, completely oblivious to his internal struggle. Madiquel was still innocently aligned; too childish still to think about kissing people and too naive to actually even process the thought that, someday, she would probably have sex.
Shooing Clover off her lap, Madiquel leaned over to wash her hands in the water of the bath, using a bit of soapsand to make sure all the oil was free from her skin. Once done, Madiquel got gracefully to her feet and collected on of the small hand towels that were nearby. Drying her hands, she returned to Ayontay and tossed him the cloth (which landed in his lap); she packed his items up while he took care of washing his hands. Smiling gently, she offered her own to him when he was done, and pulled her friend to his feet with a soft grunt and an amused snort.
With a start, Madiquel realised she was taller than Ayontay, and she tilted her head. How long had she been taller? Had she had a growth spurt recently? Would he always be shorter than her, now? That would be funny! Especially since his parents were both on the tall side. She giggled and stepped forward, throwing her arms around Ayontay’s neck for that hug she had wanted to give him before, only really realising how lonely she’d been a moment into the hug. She missed hugging her Papa! She stepped back slightly, and let her arms fall.
“Goodnight, Ayontay!” she said, with false cheer but a real (if small) smile. “I’ll see you tomorrow!” Calling quietly for Clover, Madiquel smiled at Ayontay once more, and quietly slipped out of the bathing room, making her way towards her shared quarters. She was so ready to go home, and she’d only been in Ista Weyr for a day!
