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’tay laughed at the rambling apology he had read so easily in her voice and now actually got to hear. “I’ll say it as many times as I have to for you to believe me but it’s okay. I think I would have been too nervous to focus if you had been there. I’d probably die of embarrassment if we couldn’t do it or overshot the landing and you had seen it!” Luckily they hadn’t done either but it had been scary enough without spectators of the friend and family variety that A’tay wasn’t sure he would have stayed upright or kept his breakfast down if he had known any of them were watching.
The sudden serious expression had A’tay stopping and paying attention and he was suddenly worried. Was something wrong with her dad? Did something happen at the Hall? None of the above, apparently, as Madiquel declared how proud she was. A’tay simply stared, managing to blink, and wondering where that came from. He didn’t feel like he had done anything amazing. Xyxyth had chosen him but he supposed they had worked hard together to be near the top of the class and they had managed to keep each other alive. But before he could shrug it off and change the subject, Jajojin was brought up and that actually caused A’tay’s mouth to fall open as he tried to form words.
“What? Your Papa is? I… wow, DiDi,” sometimes he still used her obvious nickname everyone had used since they were little but the names Xyxyth had given them were special, something for them. Not that he would care if anyone called him Tay, but TayTay was theirs, just as DiDi was. But that wasn’t what was close to making him cry. “Really? I’m going to work even harder so I don’t disappoint either of you!” It was a promise and A’tay wasn’t a fan of breaking them. Knowing that Jajojin, the ex-rider who couldn’t be near dragons for fear he’d have a breakdown, was proud of what he had accomplished so far was such a strong motivator that A’tay felt like he could run for Weyrleader the night he graduated. He knew that wasn’t true but the idea amused him all the same and seemed to tickle Xyxyth as well as he rumbled with laughter and leaned down to gently nudge Madiquel with his nose.
I’ve missed you too, DiDi. I promise we won’t let you down either. I’ll keep TayTay focused and one day he’ll run a Weyr and you’ll the Weyr’s Master Healer! A’tay didn’t want such a job but the enthusiasm and idea of them both being so high ranked made him laugh all the same and he shrugged.
“Sure, why not? Could be fun with you there to patch up my papercuts and give me something for the constant headaches the job would give me. Because you are amazing and I’m proud of you for doing what you want and I know you’ll be in charge at a Weyr one day, too.”
