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!

Sitting in the library, at one of the many small tables, her stuff sprawled across it and a frown on her face, Madiquel glared down at the question she was supposed to be writing an essay on. Today, it was how to handle burn wounds, and Madiquel was trying not to let her queasiness win out. For a while there, Madiquel had forgotten all about her inability to handle blood and gore and so such; it had quickly come back to her, though, and she’d been fighting tooth and nail not to let anyone – not her classmates, not her teachers – see how deeply affected she was by anything icky. Just the though of raw burns needing patching up was enough to make her feel lightheaded and sickly.
“Faranth,” Madiquel groaned, and gave up. At least for the afternoon. She’d try again later, when she could team up with one of her fellow students and brainstorm what ingredients were best for treating burns, and the pain associated with them. Madiquel hadn’t realised there were so many herbs on the planet – everyone knew about numbweed, of course, but it seemed like every other flower, leaf, and root had a medical property she’d never dreamed was possible. Madiquel’s head was a flurry of plant names… Never mind remembering their correct weights and process for using them!
Shaking her head, at herself mostly, Madiquel sat back in her seat and gently ran her fingers over Clover’s back. “I’m beat. Let’s get some sunshine, hey?” Smiling as Clover gave a sleepy chirm, Madiquel put all her papers, books, scrolls, ink and quills into her bag, and quietly left the library, her firelizard curled up (still far more asleep than awake) in her empty arms.
Making her way through the assorted hallways, Madiquel finally escaped out into the spring sunshine, weak as it was, though the sky was a very pretty shade of blue. It kind of reminded her of Shadow and she glanced at her sleeping green firelizard with a soft sigh. Clover and Shadow had spent quite a few hours in the (very) early morning popping between herself and A’tay with an assortment of gossip. Madiquel couldn’t remember who had started the exchange, but it had been fun and she’d enjoyed chatting with A’tay, even if it wasn’t as nice as when they got to see each other in person. She was probably the only non-Weyrling of that group who was actively counting down the days until their graduation.
“We’ll sit over there,” Madiquel decided quietly, talking to her sleeping firelizard even as she was stepping aside as a group of senior apprentices hurried past her. Glancing around quickly, Madiquel made her way to the tree, and picked out a spot on the sunnier side, settling herself near the edge of the tree’s shadow, but not quite in it. It wasn’t warm enough that she felt the need to sit in the shade, and besides, the cool breeze would more than combat the weak sunshine. Setting her bag as a pillow, Madiquel flopped back, and stared up at the sky.
