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!

R’nd was still wondering how and why he agreed to the dinner honouring N’gelt’s promotion to WeyrSecond. It wasn’t that he hated the brownrider, it was just that they didn’t have the greatest start to a friendship and ever since the man’s fist met his face, R’nd wasn’t sure he liked being anywhere near him. It also didn’t help that I’shan was hosting a dinner that he made himself, just like the time N’gelt walked in on them talking and assumed the blueriders were about to take the party to the bedroom. He adored I’shan, counted him as one of his closest best friends and did a lot for him, but R’nd wondered if he would ever find the line he finally couldn’t cross. He had even withheld information from the Weyrleader for I’shan! And wasn’t that something? How much trouble would N’gelt be in if R’nd finally confessed to who hit him? R’nd had a feeling D’ren wouldn’t believe him thanks to how long he waited and saying it as soon as N’gelt became a man in a position of power would seem suspicious.
Not that he had any intention of saying anything. It would break I’shan’s heart and while R’nd still didn’t like how easily his friend submitted to N’gelt’s every whim and drove himself into that horrible drunken state of existence during their break up, R’nd would still support I’shan and do his best to keep his friend happy. Thinking on it, the break-up occurred because I’shan and B’jin danced together and now they were to all dine together. What was I’shan thinking? Likely the same thing he always was; it would be fun and entertain his friend. R’nd should have said no, explaining the dangers of this idea but he had accepted the invitation in the end and even convinced B’jin it would be a nice night together with friends – and a questionable brownrider. Perhaps he was just being unfair and N’gelt deserved the chance to show his good side, the side I’shan was always fawning over.
Whatever the reason was that convinced him to go and bring B’jin with him, R’nd had put on a smile and greeted B’jin properly with a kiss when they had both landed outside of N’gelt’s hut. That was another problem with the night; why weren’t they meeting at I’shan’s, especially when he was the cook? It didn’t matter, not really, or so he hoped. It wasn’t like they were walking into a den of pain with no escape. R’nd was confident the door would work from the inside just as the windows would break in case of an emergency. A quick glance at B’jin as he brushed back some of his lover’s fringe had R’nd briefly wondering if B’jin was mapping out the same escape routes. “Everything will be fine, love, you’ll see. You know I’shan and how much fun he is and from what I’ve seen, N’gelt likes seeing him happy.” Yet again R’nd wanted to warn B’jin not to flirt with I’shan or to mention Flights around the sensitive brownrider but he held his tongue. It would likely make his friend nervous or provoke to do both things he was warned against.
“I’m along for the crazy ride as well, remember.” R’nd gave a reassuring pat to B’jin’s arm. He didn’t mind how close they seemed to be, taking his own comfort in the closeness of his friend. Perhaps if they showed a unified front, N’gelt wouldn’t eye either of them suspiciously all evening and attack one of them when they asked I’shan if he was serving dessert. Knowing he couldn’t delay any longer, R’nd knocked on the door, not at all in the mood to risk entering the hut of a brownrider he barely knew. If it was I’shan’s hut, he would have let himself in without question, but now was a ‘better safe than sorry’ situation.
Ayyonth nearly glowed as he took up a casual stance with Larrikith pressed up near him. He liked the older green and how she seemed to delight being in his presence as well so there wasn’t a need to be embarrassed by her desire to show off their level of friendship. She was quirky and fun, what more could be asked for in a companion when their riders were off causing their own mischief in one form or another? He returned her nuzzle and crooned before greeting Ilveriath and Saquith as well.
I look forward to the entertainment. R’nd’s dynamics with the other men are always fun and I don’t see tonight being any different. R’nd did an excellent job of keeping N’gelt’s name locked away as the one who punched him though with all of his stressing since the invitation had left R’nd not as focused on what he kept from his dragon. He had seen the fight play out in R’nd’s memories earlier that day and while Ayyonth wasn’t sure he liked the idea of going to the dinner, he hadn’t said anything and instead encouraged everyone to go. What good would come from cowering all the time? It was best to face fears so everyone could move on. He had no doubt B’jin and R’nd would look after one another but R’nd had also already learned to watch what he said, or at least how he phrased it.
