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’s feelings were up and then down and then he wasn’t sure where but he tried to keep them in check so Xyxyth’s own mood wasn’t ruined. Nothing about Madiquel had changed, not her behaviour or how she viewed him or anything else so her hugs and light kisses and beautiful smile so full of love and laughter didn’t mean anything more than they did three turns ago. Truthfully, maybe one day he’d find the courage to kiss her properly and confess his feelings but until that day, he decided he’d be fine with what he had with her since he loved it and didn’t want it to change. Which, he knew it would to some degree when she wasn’t even living in a Weyr anymore. How was Jajojin allowing that? Madiquel calmed him and gave him someone to focus on but he loved his daughter too much to ever say no to her.
“You shouldn’t encourage him,” A’tay playfully teased as his thoughts drifted back to the present craziness he was living in. “You don’t know what mischief he can get into.” That wasn’t entirely true since Xyxyth was still a bronze and seemed to have the gene that made him a good leader, which he showed regularly in classes, but his personality was so… blue sometimes that A’tay worried he was going to end up with his own Ayyonth that had fun picking on his rider while befriending the entire dragon population.
Xyxyth rumbled with pleasure at Madiquel’s praise and acceptance of her new name and even looked over his shoulder to give her a little head butt of a nuzzle before falling silent. A’tay knew that meant he was thinking about the challenge that had been issued to him and he was proven right soon after. I like ‘R’nd’ because it is unique and stands out but maybe… O’win? No, boring. R’ind, like the skin of that tart fruit you ate for breakfast, but that might be a bit mean and doesn’t fit the man we’re naming. O’nd because B’jin owns him now. A’tay sighed, knowing the dragon had definitely been speaking to both humans and it wasn’t hard to miss how pleased Xyxyth was with himself for his joke.
“I hope he forgets that name before Dad comes to visit,” A’tay grumbled, hands rubbing at his temples as if he already had a headache from that meeting. It was definitely time to change the topic and there was only one real way to do it and it was what he’d wanted to do since Madiquel appeared. He lowered his hands back to his lap and then turned a slow sly smile at his friend, giving her a moment to realise he was up to something.
“So it’s not as cool as being able to offer to take you flying but… do you wanna ride Xyxyth around the Bowl?” Really, his dragon was still a glorified pony outside of lessons and Weyrlingmaster supervision but that was still something and he was definitely going to offer it to his friend! He knew he had fun meandering around the Bowl on dragon back and sometimes he raced some of his classmates so he hoped the idea appealed to Madiquel as well.
“And if you do, I have no idea if it’s easier for me to lift you up or to go up first and help you up that way,” A’tay frowned, glancing to his dragon. Xyxyth was larger than his classmates but he wasn’t the size of a dragon like Xyreith or Aradissicath, Madiquel’s usual rides, but he wasn’t sure which way was the polite way to help a woman mount a dragon yet. He’d never paid attention to such things growing up and it hadn’t been taught to them yet. Would they be taught that? He suspected they would be if they were expected to ferry Holders around.
