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!

The months since Niath hatched passed mostly in a blur of feeding, oiling, bathing, and getting to know the little green. There had been little time that wasn’t with or for the dragonet, especially the first two months, and Tala had put just about everything else in her life aside to focus on Niath. Now, though, the dragonets were growing and the Weyrlings were getting personal time again. That gave Tala time to miss her other little girl.
Not that she’d spent the entire four months wishing she was with Ryvala — Niath needed her, and Ryvala was nearly two turns now. Besides, Tala knew her daughter was well cared for. The Ista Weyr creche was great, as all the creches were, and one of her friends was keeping an eye on her baby as well, so she wasn’t worried, per se, but well, she was still a little paranoid. Ista was very far from Telgar when you couldn’t just hop on a dragon between. Niath couldn’t go between yet, so neither could Tala. But now Niath was old enough Tala had enough personal time — and the dragon understood that Tala had other important people in her life — that there was no reason Ryvala couldn’t be brought to her.
She’d even talked to Indivara about it, wanting to check with the Weyrlingmaster that having her daughter brought to Telgar would be okay. Indivara had agreed that the dragonets were old enough for that, and Niath in particular seemed mature enough to handle her bonded having a child about. Not that Tala would neglect her dragon for her daughter! Ryvala would likely still be spending most of her time in the creche, but Tala would be able to spend some time with her. What if Ryvala forget her because she was away so long!
Which had brought her to the predicament of how to get Ryvala from Ista to Telgar. Tala couldn’t do it herself, and pretty much all her friends were either fellow Weyrlings, Candidates, or just plain didn’t have a dragon. Left her with very few options. So she ended up borrowing a firelizard to send a message to R’vi, who both had a dragon and could travel between Weyrs (and she could maybe guilt him into it). Indivara had actually given her the idea to message him, but Tala thought it was a good one. Worth reaching out, at least. And okay, maybe her message of ‘Please come find me, need your help with something,’ was pretty vague, but Tala knew R’vi was terribly flighty around babies, especially his, and didn’t want to scare him away too soon.
Now she just had to wait.
