2023/08/04 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.

Thistle!

Indivara was in a bad mood. This, of itself, wasn’t anything unusual, but usually when Indivara was in a sour mood, she kept herself secluded away and simply snapped at those stupid enough to live with her (V’ler) or visit (‘friends’! Hah!). Instead, the young woman had a basket hooked over one elbow with sand stolen from the Hatching Grounds on it, and in it, what remained of a clutch of eggs.

She’d filled the basket with sands when she realised Queenie had recently flown, figuring she could sell the eggs at the local Hold and make a few extra marks. She hadn’t really expected Queenie to use the makeshift nest – and certainly she’d spent enough time glaring at the blues to keep everyone in the weyr high strung – but she had. Unfortunately for Indivara, when she’d tried to take them to the Hold to sell them to the locals, she’d gotten rather solidly told off by, of all creatures, Venseth, who refused to allow her to make money off Queenie’s poor unhatched babies.

So, Indivara was in a foul mood. The eggs were worth a fortune, and what was the point in having a gold firelizard if she couldn’t make some money off her eggs? It wasn’t like anyone at the Weyr was going to pay for them (she wasn’t even going to ask and get laughed at) which meant the short, scarred woman was seen stalking around the weyr shoving eggs off onto anyone who stopped long enough to look at her. Her only relief was that here were no gold eggs in the clutch; she would have refused to just give away a baby gold. Especially when whomever got her probably wouldn’t have such an obnoxious blue dragon that would prevent them making some damned money!

Oh, please. You have more than enough money to fund your lifestyle. Just finish giving the eggs away and stop sulking.

Indivara’s eyes narrowed, sending a young man fleeing as she stormed down another corridor. Spotting someone new, she smoothed her features slightly so she would not look so furious and marched up to M’dox, eyeballing the brownrider. “Here!” she said, and with very little warning, she shoved the last egg into his hands. It was not very big – probably a green, a blue at best – but she did not care about that. He was getting a free firelizard. He would be grateful or he could give it to someone else, she did not care. “It’ll Hatch in a couple days.” She warned. “Queenie laid a clutch.” She pointed to the preening firelizard on her shoulder.

As a general rule, M’dox preferred to get meals a little offset from the most popular times. Riquarth kept encouraging him to eat at more ‘normal’ times, get to know more people, but the dragon hadn’t convinced him to change his ways.

Yet. Riquarth insisted. M’dox smiled slightly. His brown had so much faith in him. M’dox sometimes worried the faith was misplaced and he’d disappoint Riquarth someday, but Riquarth always reassured him he never would.

So, considering M’dox had expressly been heading towards the dining hall in order to avoid running into people, he was intensely startled when he was approached by Indivara of all people. Moments later, he was blinking at the tiny egg that had been shoved in his hands. M’dox knew what firelizard eggs looked like, of course. He’d lived among dragonmen long enough. However, he’d never actually had one himself. Despite most Candidates getting them, he’d been a Candidate less than a year. There’d been a clutch set to hatch in a week when he’d Impressed Riquarth, and at that point they figured he didn’t need the distraction from a ‘real’ dragon. But now…

“Do I need to keep it in sand?” M’dox blurted out, still staring at the egg. Having never actually hatched one, he was a bit fuzzy on the details of how to go about doing so. He flinched back as soon as he said it. Indivara’s temper was legendary. M’dox had managed to avoid it so far, but here he was asking her a stupid (in her eyes, almost certainly) question when she was stomping around as if the floor itself had offended her.

“Sorry.” He mumbled, clutching the egg to his chest.

Indivara frowned, blue eyes flashing with irritation at the question. “Yes,” she snapped, still scowling. “By a fireplace or over candles,” she continued. Her expression didn’t change, but she could hear Venseth scolding her in the back of her mind and she could tell by M’dox’s expression that he was terrified of her. Usually this would excite the temperamental young woman, but it was really just somewhat pathetic. Besides, B’jin was harping on her about being nicer to people and bettering her reputation. No one would want to be in her class because she was a woman, on blue. But to be a bitch at a drop of a hat seemed more than B’jin could embrace. Indivara felt otherwise; no one would respect her if they did not fear for her lives. It was not exactly the best kind of respect, but it was the one she was going to angle for.

What else did an apparent idiot need to know about a firelizard egg? She’d told him it would Hatch in a couple of days, and now she’d told him to keep it warm and heated. Scowling with renewed ferocity, Indivara grimaced. “You’ll need to keep dried meat on hand. Fresh is better. When it hatches, or you’ll lose it.” She raised both eyebrows, forcing M’dox to meet her gaze. “Anything else?” The sarcastic twang in her voice indicated there better not be.

M’dox flinched at Indivara’s harsh tone, drawing in a few, deep breaths in an attempt to keep control. He knew that showing you were scared made it worse, he had plenty of lessons from his childhood that had taught him that, but it was hard sometimes. Indivara was scary! M’dox had heard stories about her punching people for the most minor of infractions. He didn’t want to get punched, especially not while he was holding an egg!

After a few moments, after confirming he wasn’t going to break down crying and make even greater a fool of himself, he glanced up, peering through his bangs that were getting long again to see Indivara staring at him, eyebrows raised. At her question, M’dox started immediately, stumbling over his words.

“No, ma’am, that’s it, ma’am, thank you, ma’am, may I go, ma’am?” He stammered, eyes flicking around the room to pick the best escape route once she released him. The dining room was off the schedule now, he had to get back to his weyr and set up the little egg. But Indivara was on that side of the room, so M’dox figured he might take the long way, just in case. He held his breath, waiting for the bluerider to allow him to leave (He could hear the other brownriders laughing at him in his head at waiting on a bluerider’s permission, especially a woman one, and he flushed, embarrassed, but simultaneously not caring because at that particular moment he was more afraid of her than any of his fellow brownriders).

Indivara stared at M’dox as he began babbling, torn between amusement and horror at the way the younger dragonrider was reacting. If her eyebrows hadn’t already been arched, they would have done so at the way he was babbling and calling her ‘ma’am’ like it was going out of fashion. She kind of liked the sound of it, honestly, and she mentally elbowed Venseth to make him pay attention to the scene before her. She heard him sigh and apologise quietly to Riquarth. Indivara rolled her eyes, dramatically, not caring that M’dox would think she was doing so at his expense… When you thought about it, she kind of was.

When her gaze settled back on M’dox, she waved her right hand airy, dismissing him, and watched him flee. Then she turned on her heel, and skipped back to her weyr, barging into the rooms she shared with V’ler and draping herself over him dramatically as she burst out laughing so hard her stomach hurt and it actually ended up that she was using her fellow bluerider to hold her up, probably to his irritation (it did look like he had been working on something before she interrupted him. She didn’t care.)

“Oh Val!” She dissolved into giggles again. “You’ll never guess what just happened!” Waiting for his expected long-suffering sigh and attention to be turned towards her and not whatever he was working on, Indivara sat on the edge of the desk and delighted in retelling the tale of what had just happened.
