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 recalled the day they got to move into their own weyrs. Of course that was only about a year ago so it wasn't too hard to do. Still, it had been exciting and even a bit nerve wracking since it would be his first time living alone. He'd lived with his mom and little sister in Telgar Weyr and every time he Stood at another Weyr, he was always in the barracks. And then he Impressed and was in a whole new barracks so moving into senior weyrlinghood and getting his own place was strange. Though, he wasn't really alone since he had Xyxyth with him.
They had chosen a modest sized weyr given the colour of his dragon's hide. A'tay didn't care too much about the space he would have but cared more about Xyxyth having enough. The bronze liked the size of his den and deemed the ledge worthy based on the sun it would catch throughout the day and still large enough to have a friend visit. It was perfect--for what he thought would be a short term arrangement. The plan had been to transfer to Fort upon graduating so he could be closer to Madiquel as she studied in Healer Hall and help keep an eye on Jajojin. Since she Impressed accidentally at Ista and her papa found his way there as well, A'tay decided to stay and still didn't find any faults in his little weyr.
Madiquel's choice of weyr had surprised him. Well, sort of. He assumed the two bedrooms was selected so her father could live with her but she said it was in case he stayed while visiting. Did she think he was going to return to Fort or maybe the walk between her weyr and his own would be too great for him after a visit? He was a bit confused but didn't question it. Madiquel knew her papa better than anyone else and maybe there would be times that he needed to stay because he was having a bad time.
When she asked him to help pick up items she had ordered in the Hold, A'tay happily agreed. She was a friend in need of help and it simply made him feel useful and got him out of the Weyr for a bit. It was odd not having much to do and he blamed it on Xyxyth's hide. No one asked him to run errands, though he had been asked a couple of times if he could ferry around a lord that wanted a bronze. He probably wasn't happy that he got such a young one but at least he got his bronze!
Shadow popped in several feet from them as they descended to Madiquel's weyr. The chubby blue firelizard was usually close behind and that day was no different as Shadow accompanied them on every trip to the Hold. He was a nosy fellow and also good at begging and managed to snag a few snacks out of charmed holders, much to A'tay's chagrin.
When they landed, Xyxyth greeted Zezeth, again, since it was her ledge and he was visiting despite them having been back and forth several times. His dragon was nothing if not polite, it seemed. "It is! I think it might be the heaviest piece but we should be able to move it together," he laughed, having said that at the same time Madiquel asked if he wanted to help set up. He supposed that answered her question and he quickly got down from Xyxyth's back to examine the haul.
He had debated moving each piece in as soon as they brought it up but ended up thinking it would be best to have Madiquel see everything and get an idea of where she wanted it. He had always planned on helping her move the furniture in since he wasn't going to let her move it on her own! Truthfully, he wanted to call in T'ryn to help him while Madiquel supervised but he knew that gleam in her eyes well enough to know she was looking forward to getting her hands dirty and doing it herself.
"We should start with the bedroom since we brought those up first so they're closer to the entrance and that means we won't have to work around the living room set up." He was pretty proud of himself for not blushing at the idea of being in her bedroom. But then, he had been in her room and hanging out on her bed so many times growing up that it really shouldn't have been a big deal. In the height of his crush, maybe it would have, but he had spent the last several months working hard to move on when he finally got the clue that Madiquel wasn't interested. Now, he focused on how a bed was just a bed and Madiquel was just his best friend and he was excited to help her set up her perfect home.
