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 liked to believe he was in tuned with his surroundings and could read people rather well but in the end, he was often oblivious about the most obvious and even confused easily, especially when it came to certain people. B’jin had thrown him for a loop several days earlier when he nearly stomped his way up and gave an irritable hiss of a whisper asking if he was proddy. R’nd hadn’t done much more than blink before slowly pointing out that yes, the greenrider did seem a bit proddy, before he wondered if that was the wrong answer as B’jin stomped off again and ignored all calls – that were borderline pleas – to return.
A closer eye was kept on B’jin after that since the behaviour even before that encounter seemed just off enough to the bluerider that was slowly catching the subtle nuances of B’jin to be noteworthy. Besides, if B’jin truly was proddy, then there was definitely a good reason to stay close! The flight Ayyonth didn’t even bother to enter which led to Tyrrisath winning still upset R’nd and he sometimes wondered if he was more upset over that than even B’jin was. The shape his lover had been in and how B’jin had nearly drowned horrified R’nd and made him want to try smacking the brownrider around some more even if he hid behind the title of Weyrleader now. But B’jin let it go or at least hid any emotions about that flight well enough that R’nd couldn’t risk confronting S’kef. The greenrider had once told him after he had his back savaged by a whip in S’kef’s hand to leave the man alone and not put himself into the line of fire. Of course R’nd had done that easily when drunk and seeing B’jin being accosted but he’d tried to behave ever since.
The most recent flight, however, irritated R’nd almost as much simply because Larrikith had pooled the wool over his eyes by flying by the lake when only Veeth was around. Even if Ayyonth wanted to chase that time, the flight was over almost before it began. What a traumatizing day that had been all around! B’jin had slept with Valerian and he had… well, R’nd was glad he hadn’t won Par’a but losing hadn’t been a victory for once thanks to Indivara. R’nd suspected B’jin wanted a win together as much as he wanted it and wasn’t it about time they were that lucky again? Ayyonth had been lucky three times in their attempts over the turns and while it wasn’t really needed given their relationship of not-mates, R’nd didn’t mind adding to the tally all the same. He was still a bluerider in the end and it also kept creeps like D’hys and S’kef from laying a heavy hand on B’jin.
Even with that determination, R’nd wasn’t near B’jin and barely acknowledged the shriek since greens rising wasn’t that unheard of. It was Ayyonth that noticed first, perking up as he heard Larrikith’s challenge but head snapping up and turning in the direction the greenrider was at when he started threatening the dragon. Ayyonth snorted even as he got to his feet and stretched, preparing for a fun flight after a nice nap. B’jin’s threats weren’t needed this time! Much like R’nd, Ayyonth was done – for now – with not getting invited to the party or purposely skipping out. There would be other times to play their humans’ minds but today he wanted to be with his pretty green companion and no other dragon would stand in his way!
Larrikith flies… and as do I. That was all the warning R’nd was given before Ayyonth pushed off from the ground and joined the tail of males following Larrikith in her always fun patterns across the sky above Katila. She was always a bit of a show off but that was part of why he was so fond of her! Life was never dull with Larrikith around.
R’nd scrambled off of the couch where he had been sprawled while reading a rather boring history book. Through no fault of B’jin’s, the bluerider sometimes felt inadequate with his lack of continued education and only the basics in all areas given to him so he had lately taken to reading more and even copying some of the more interesting stories as a means of increasing his writing abilities as well. The book was forgotten though as R’nd ran out of his hut and in the direction he instinctively knew B’jin would be in – though putting on shoes before leaving was one instinct that was overlooked.
With too many hops, skips, and jumps along the way thanks to pebbles and even a few blurry visions as Ayyonth’s lust crashed with his own and threw him off balance, R’nd finally slid to a halt at the Weyrling Barracks. The pause was only long enough to squeeze by a couple of weyrlings laughing at those entering the building. They’d be in his shoes before they knew it! Only not entirely, he hoped! R’nd didn’t want any further competition since he was the only incoming bluerider that mattered!
