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!

The hesitancy T’bia displayed worried M’dox. If he was upset, that meant something was wrong, right? And it was probably M’dox’s fault if T’bia was upset because he had been such an awful friend recently. Stupid. He should have prioritized his friend more, not been so self-centered and waited for T’bia to come to him. He was the worst.
“I’m glad you’re okay too,” M’dox whispered. Throughout the fires he’d had Riquarth check in with Jycenth and a few other dragons to check people were safe, so he’d known T’bia hadn’t been injured. M’dox may have been out of it, but he would have made time to check on a hurt friend. He was sure he would have! It just hadn’t come up.
T’bia’s admission that he’d missed M’dox both made him feel soaringly happy but also a bit like the bluerider had punched him. He’d been missed, which meant T’bia liked him! Every time T’bia said he liked him, or came to see him, or kissed him, or anything, was like M’dox was learning it for the first time. Nothing seemed to really convince M’dox that T’bia liking him was a continuous thing, not just something that lasted in the moment. So learning he’d been missed was a reaffirmation that T’bia did in fact like him.
But if T’bia liked him, that also meant M’doc was a terrible friend because he hadn’t talked to him or gone to see him or anything. Not even a message through their dragons to just check in with him. That was his fault. It didn’t occur to M’dox that T’bia could also have reached out to him, and the brownrider put all the responsibility for their lack of communication on himself.
M’dox opened his mouth to speak, to tell T’bia he’d missed him too, but his throat was dry and no words formed. He swallowed. Just more proof he was the worst, he couldn’t even tell his friend he’d missed him. Tears started building up in his eyes as he stood there and stared at T’bia, trying to say anything. Eventually, some internal barrier broke and M’dox threw himself forward and hugged T’bia. He clung to his friend, as his tears finally started falling and he sobbed into T’bia’s shoulder, finally able to speak but only saying “I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” over and over.
