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!

There was only one thing Ulliendis had come across that he hated about the whole Hatching thing; they seemed to happen far too early in the morning or the middle of the night. He was still curled up under a fairly nice blanket in a somewhat comfortable bed—neither of which were his, or temporarily his in the barracks. They belonged to the warm body beside him. The one that had to so rudely wake him up to pass along the message from his dragon that the eggs were wobbling. The pretty face just had to go and ruin a good thing with that news by waking him up. Ulliendis had pouted spectacularly at him but he knew it was his own fault. The Hatching was due at any time and the Candidates had been warned about bed hopping at this point and that they better still get their asses in there on time.
“Next time you wake me up at this disgusting hour, it had better be for something still involving this bed,” Ulliendis pointed out as he started to get up—only to be pulled back down as his latest friend laughed. “Mm, now you’re just being a delicious distraction from duty,” he murmured against an insistent mouth. It truly was tempting to linger but Ulliendis was still new to Hatchings and was in a new Weyr as well so he didn’t want to piss off the Weyrlingmaster or arrive late. He felt like Hatchings weren’t something you arrived fashionably late for.
Still, a few minutes of lingering was okay and Ulliendis grinned when he got his friend riled up and pulled away to toss on clothes. Some of the more experienced had told him to bring his Candidate garments just in case and now he could see the merit in that. Lesson learned if he didn’t Impress this time! He blew the rider a kiss and laughed as a pillow flew by his head before exiting and making his way back to the barracks.
Once there, he cleaned himself up and changed. That’s when he sighed and found there was a second thing he hated about Hatchings. He wasn’t allowed to accessorize. He took off the rings and necklace that were still on from the day before and set them in the case with all the others he owned. “I’ll come back to you soon, I promise,” he told the baubles as he shut the lid and tucked the box back into his travel bag. He stopped by the table filled with fruit, breads, and juice for the Candidates to eat before standing around. He noticed most seemed to run right by, likely too afraid to eat anything for one reason or another but he was hungry and ate a muffin and had a quick glass of water before continuing on.
Inside the Hatching grounds, Ulliendis looked around, taking in the space he’d only seen briefly at the Touching. The biggest difference now was Iliyith had a clutch she was guarding and he made sure to stay as far away from her as possible. It didn’t seem like she was ready to share yet and he could respect that. He instead took up a spot that had a nice view of Mizeath’s clutch and the stands. He casually took in the faces of those already gathering to watch and who they might be there for. He had a feeling Hatchings could be a good place to learn a thing or two about people.
He took a step back when the first to hatch gave his hissing roar. He hadn’t been expecting that! Maybe he needed to focus a bit more on the eggs and less on people after all. With a laugh at how he and a few others around him had reacted to the arrival of the bronze, Ulliendis watched the new pair walk off together.
