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!

Rhaedalyn wrinkled her nose at being called Weyrwoman. It wasn't that S'laire was wrong in doing so, but she still had moments of feeling awkward when people used it and especially hated it when a friend did so. No comment was made on it, though, as she figured it was done more for the benefit of anyone walking by as they were in a public space but if he did it again, she'd consider wrinkling her nose in distaste at him even harder than she currently.
But she let it drop when he gave her a once over and smiled at his compliment and explanation. "Thank you but I won't agree with you most days on if I look good," she was often tired--more from her daughters than actual Weyrwoman things--and her curls sometimes got away from her and made her look rather wild but she could agree with one thing, "but I am happy. Tired, but happy. Aradissicath on the other hand is radiant and ecstatic. She's so happy to be back on her Sands, as she puts it. I'm so happy she doesn't Fly again right after a Hatching though I wouldn't put it past her to try!"
Even I like to stretch my wings a bit more regularly than what a Flight can offer so we'll stick with the current routine. Rhaedalyn bit her lip to keep from laughing at her dragon's distaste of being constantly on the ground despite the amount of love she had for sprawling out in the Sands. Gold dragons did what they wanted and it didn't matter if it was contradictory to five minutes earlier.
"Anyway, enough of golds. You and Luxilth should visit again soon. Varlea loves her blues and a certain fellow hasn't come by lately." It wasn't surprising that her children loved blue dragons given so many of their mother's friends rode blue. Varlea's actual parents were blueriders and came by from time to time, then there was D'hys who was always around and Zeianth even tolerated the kids for a short time. R'nd, T'bia, and even the sweetest boy R'dal came by regularly, winning the hearts of all of her girls. Thinking on it, Rhaedalyn now understood R'nya's random comment once about their daughters running off with a bluerider. Guess it wasn't so off-handed after all.
It was a testament to how tired she was that Rhaedalyn didn't stop to think before speaking about her daughters. She knew S'laire had been plucked up out of his perfect life with a family and a Craft to be brought to Katila and also knew that the family wasn't in the Weyr with him now, though she didn't have much more information than that. As much as she wanted to help her friends, Rhaedalyn hated prying or pushing them too much but knew S'laire would share what and when he wanted to.
Still, just in case he purposely didn't visit much because of memories, she offered him a quick alternative with a mischievous grin. "Luxilth can play with them while I play with your hair. You still haven't let me braid flowers in it and you promised I could do that the day before you Impressed. Don't you think I ever forgot, Sithulaire." To be fair, he had Impressed and six months later, she Impressed as well so they had been a bit busy at the time. Then add in the move North and finally opening more Weyrs... still, Rhaedalyn was happy to pretend S'laire was purposely avoiding it and that it hadn't been eight years ago that the promise was made.
