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 small, delighted smile tugged at Ekshan's lips at K'tir's reply, and a pleasant thrill ran up his spine. He liked the man, he seemed far more genuine than many he met with these days, and exuded a quiet confidence despite the not so flattering light many held dragonrider's in. The brownrider's open study of him left little doubt in Ekshan's mind about how the night would end and he was feeling rather pleased if also a little nervous about it. K'tir did not hide who he was and Ekshan envied his apparent freedom to be with whomever he wanted. Ever mindful of his surroundings Ekshan gave those nearby a quick glance for any disapproving looks. He was still Gabrin's assistant and had to be careful of his behavior, in public at least.
Ekshan dipped his head in wordless agreement with K'tir's suggestion. He wasn't sure how much common ground they had, beyond the obvious, but he was willing to find out what more there could be. Even if all they did was talk, the conversation was unlikely to be boring, so far K'tir had proved to be a willing fount of information. If Ekshan was lucky enough to become a candidate, knowing a rider could be beneficial and would definitely put him on a level above most of his fellow candidates. He knew from the hatching he'd gone to watch that most had simply been plucked off various cotholds and had almost no clue about Weyrlife or dragons. Knowledge was important and he was always willing to accumulate a little more.
"I can't think of many better ways to spend an evening, though I'm not sure if one evening will be enough time to satisfy all my curiosity." It had been unfortunate that the hatching had only allowed him to scratch the surface of his interest in dragons and the Weyr, and K'tir. With an entire evening laid out before them there seemed little reason to rush things along. It was unlikely Gabrin would be home until later the following morning, giving Ekshan plenty of time to "question" K'tir. "I do know a spot that should be quieter." He offered, getting to put to use his knowledge of the area as he moved off through the crowd, holding his breath until he heard the telltale tread of following footsteps.
Pausing only long enough to procure some wine, being Gabrin's assistant did have its uses and meant he could get a bottle of something palatable, Ekshan moved confidently through the gardens. The sounds of the crowds faded slightly as they left the larger groups behind. Finally he nodded toward a convenient bench beneath one of the garden's older trees, large enough to give the illusion of propriety while still providing the means to slide in closer should the desire arise. "Will this do?" Ekshan asked, nibbling nervously at his lower lip as he turned to gauge K'tir expression. He'd considered just taking K'tir back to the hold, but he was neither confident or drunk enough for such a bold move. The area wasn't quiet deserted, a few smaller groups and couples seeking to escape the larger crowd wandered nearby, but it was still fairly private for being turn's end.
