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!

It wasn't one of Orgailian's best performances which was probably why he was able to hold his own against it this time. Still, he did have a bit of guilt creeping in on him as he passed the broom over with a bit of a shy smile. Everything the older boy would need for beating the rugs was already set up on the ledge and he knew Orgailian wouldn't need directions on getting out there or how to do any of it. Despite the whining, his brother was still a Candidate in mostly good standing and did his share of the chores, wherever they may take him that day.
A'tay eyed the bucket with a small frown. His early morning had already been spent running around the Weyr getting updates from the various departments and mediating disputes between various riders that didn't need K'dar's attention. He would have preferred to simply go right to bed for a nap, but the cleaning had to be done. He tried to stay on top of it weekly, bi-weekly if he absolutely didn't have the time due to his position, and Zelly was great at maintaining a clean kitchen and taking care of their laundry. Even with tapestries draped along the entrances, dust from their dry environment still made its way inside for a never-ending battle. Washing the walls was also like washing Xyxyth so there wasn't any threat of losing muscle tone any time soon.
Normally, he would start inside and work his way out to the ledge and that would have made sense with Orgailian beating rugs out there, but his brother mentioned his Telgar punishment and A'tay realised they had never really talked about what had inspired it or explained why he was grateful. And then he decided to let Orgailian get out some of his frustrations on the rugs first and focused on wiping down the walls in the living space.
Eventually it seemed like that task was done and the rugs were left to air out as Orgailian manned the broom and began sweeping. A'tay dunked his rag in the water a few times, wrung it out, and began wiping down the next spot. "So, uh... I know I said thank you before, but... I really do appreciate you looking out for Winnie like that. It means a lot to know someone's there for her. I mean, T'ryn and Mylo are both there and they'll watch out for her, but they're also busy with their positions and..." and he wasn't explaining it well at all.
He could feel his face warming from how flustered he was getting and while he stopped wiping the walls, A'tay couldn't look away from the rock as he confessed, "It's been hard being away from her. It's been years thanks to Xyxyth in Ista and then K'dar dragging me here and I could have transferred to Telgar at any point before Igen happened so it is my fault, but I've always looked out for her since I can remember." Why was he suddenly unloading on the one sibling that seemed the most emotionally detached and would probably laugh at him?
