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!

“Lucky her, since she’s looking unimpressive as always on the ground,” Nerreh said with an eye roll as she hugged R’dal back. Faxx’s inability to walk was endearing, and Nerreh had no interest in changing it — she was just obligated to give her dragon shit about it every chance she got. Faxx knew she didn’t mean it. The conveniences of mind links.
“I’m pretty sure the only thing that will stop her from living in the sky is the fact she needs to rest.” One of the good things about all the flying Faxxonth did these days was that it tired her out, so she spent more time napping and less time knocking things over being a nuisance to everyone. Though really, Nerreh usually only pretended to be annoyed at Faxx playing tricks on other dragons or people — most of them were actually pretty entertaining. Nerreh gave Faxxonth’s leg a pat, and froze in the action when R’dal seemed to notice something on Faxx’s nose.
At the bluerider’s words, Faxxonth stared wide eyed at R’dal. Her nose was what now? She went cross-eyed trying to see her own nose and her adult colors and sat down heavily as she got a little dizzy. She was going to be a proper adult soon! With new hide and everything! How exciting! Some of her clutchmates had their full adult hides already, like Xyxyth, but Faxxonth hadn’t realized hers was starting to appear. That meant big changes, if R’dal’s words were anything to go by. Suddenly bashful Faxx hid her nose against Nerreh’s shoulder.
I don’t look silly with a splotchy nose, do I? she asked, voice full of concern. She didn’t want to look silly, she wanted to look pretty, and Faxx recalled some of her clutchmates looking very undignified with their half-changed hides. What if she looked as bad as that?
“You’re still the prettiest dragon in the clutch, little girl, don’t worry about it,” Nerreh reassured her, while also taking a closer look at the nose herself. She hadn’t even really noticed the changes, they had been so gradual and she saw Faxx all the time, but her dragon’s nose really was much darker. The hide around her eyes was turning the same color, making her somewhat resemble a teenage girl who had just discovered eyeliner and hadn’t gotten good at it yet (Nerreh had never had that phase, generally thinking makeup was dumb and looked silly on her). There was also a little darker splotch on Faxx’s left headknob, which was actually pretty cute. Taking the look at the rest of her dragon, Nerreh noticed some of the darker points on Faxxonth’s feet, tail tip, and wing tips, though it hadn’t spread very far yet. She wondered how long it would be until the entire hide had changed color.
Already Nerreh had mostly forgotten that R’dal had called the darker color ‘blue,’ brushing it off as R’dal being R’dal. Faxxonth had always been a very bluey-green, and would probably be a very blue-green adult, just darker, apparently. The blue was probably just stronger in the sunlight. Probably. Nerreh didn’t want to think too hard on it, would just get confusing or disappointing, which she didn’t want — Impressing a blue would have been cool, but Faxxonth was the most perfect dragon ever and Nerreh would not be disappointed about her, or let her girl feel like she wasn’t good enough or something. Faxxonth was better than any blue and Nerreh didn’t want her own weird feelings to give her dragon self esteem problems.
“I hope it comes in fully soon, so I don’t have to deal with too much of Faxx worrying about if she’s still pretty,” Nerreh said, scritching Faxxonth’s headknobs and grinning at R’dal, clearly not concerned about it at all. Faxx purred at all the attention, and glanced up at Edath — he was the only one there she hadn’t gotten a compliment from yet, and she was kind of hoping to complete the full set.
