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!

A’tay was well aware at how lucky he had been with his honorific and had thanked Xyxyth a few times since Impressing for what he chose. He knew he could have easily been O’tay which sounded like a toddler being adorable and screwing up how to say ‘okay’. He also could have been Y’ay, like Madiquel pointed out, and then he’d never know if someone was excited or saying his name. Considering how many vowels he had in his name, he really was lucky he didn’t end up sounding like someone howling in pain with a mash of the letters, a reverse of R’nd’s vowelless existence.
I just picked what made sense to me and flowed the best, the way it was spoken, A’tay could almost feel the mental shrug but knew his dragon was pleased that Madiquel wanted to respect what he did—even while he no doubt started thinking about those other honorifics and if he could use them in some way. He learned early on that Xyxyth liked nicknames and as the dragon fell silent after Madiquel sat down beside him, A’tay had a feeling he’d hear some more soon.
“The meeting is probably just to assess your reading and writing and basic knowledge so he knows where to place you, and you’re great at all of it so you’ll be fine,” A’tay smiled, firmly believing his own words and not just hyping Madiquel up so she wouldn’t worry. She was a good student when they had Harper lessons back in Katila and she was learning things from the Weyrwoman in Fort so it wouldn’t be too bad to meet some other high ranking person and chat with them and be evaluated. Although, he was secretly glad he wasn’t the one getting the once over.
“And I’d like you at my graduation, too. It would only be a few hours so I’m sure you’ll get to come but if you can’t, I’d totally understand and be supportive of your test or whatever has to keep you away.” And he would! His path was to be a dragonrider and maybe one day lead a wing or a Weyr, but Madiquel’s path was to be a Healer and he wouldn’t do anything to get in the way of her succeeding. He’d also definitely be front row at her own graduation, well, if Halls did such things. Didn’t a cousin of his say something about tapping? Tapping what? He didn’t understand all the lingo but he knew Madiquel would explain it all to him once she was settled.
I got it! Xyxyth hadn’t been listening to their conversation, still stuck on names and what each of them could be called. He wasn’t fickle, and would have enjoyed the talk about graduation if he had been listening, but he wanted to give his human friends special names to use between them, show them that even apart they were still close and that was something that seemed vastly important to at least A’tay but probably Madiquel as well.
You’re DiDi and TayTay to my Xyxyth and I will not hear any arguments about it. A’tay instantly felt his cheeks turn red at the names, though he wasn’t really against them. But what if Madiquel was? It also brought up a reminder if the slightly horrifying event when a Lady came to visit them. “He likes names, nicknames. He named a Lady that was ooo’ing and gushing all over him Xylith because their names were sort of similar and he liked her enough to make her a dragon, I guess.” Dragons were so exhausting.
