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!

He smiled and felt his cheeks warm. A’tay knew he wanted her approval over his new name but didn’t realise how much it meant to him until Madiquel’s softly spoken admission. He wasn’t quite sure what he would change his name to if she didn’t like this one though. Would he even be allowed to? Xyxyth had given it to him and they had already given their names to the Weyrlingmaster. Thankfully, he wouldn’t have to find out as they all seemed to like the name, though A’tay felt it would take some time before he was used to being called that and just comfortable in general with carrying a dragonrider’s honorific as his own.
A’tay didn’t understand Madiquel’s hesitation over helping him with Xyxyth’s cleanliness. He had helped her with Clover often enough and then when he Impressed Shadow, they had bathed their firelizards together. Thinking about the little blue was apparently enough of an invitation to have him return as Shadow popped into existence several feet above their heads, the cool breeze of between welcomed after standing on the Sands for so long. Shadow Xyxyth stared each other down for a long moment as the firelizard landed on his shoulder and A’tay was afraid a fight might break out. Given all that had happened during the Hatching, he wouldn’t have been surprised. But the two seemed to think they could share him as Shadow chirped a greeting and then hopped off his shoulder to nudge around in the remnants of Xyxyth’s meal.
During their mini showdown, A’tay realised how different the two creatures were and finally understood some of Madiquel’s hesitation. “Xyxyth, are you okay with Madi helping me with your bath?” He was going to have to get used to asking the dragon his opinions on things. Sure, he spoke to Shadow all the time but firelizards weren’t nearly as intelligent as dragons and he always seemed happy with any ideas.
She may help. You’re injured, I itch, and she seems capable. Xyxyth felt it was all perfect logic and sat down again to wait for the bath. He had watched the firelizard steal some of his food he hadn’t finished yet but didn’t do anything to stop the creature. He was kind of cute and harmless so he was left alone. But do hurry. Others are wrapping up with their tasks and I don’t want to be left here all day while everyone leaves us behind.
“Yes, sir,” A’tay chuckled and shifted to sit on his knees. He pulled the bucket of water an assistant had set beside them a bit ago closer to them and set to work.
