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 shouldered the tied together skates and stood beside Xyxyth as he watched Zelly take off to frolic in the snow for the first time. It hadn’t been that long ago that he himself had done much the same thing. He’d also only had tales from those that had lived in the North before the plague but given the tropical location he’d spent all of his life up to that point—it was hard to believe such a thing could exist. A lot of the other brats thought it was as fake as the stories they were told before bed. Boy were they proven wrong!
He laughed when Zelly returned and hugged him. Even without the affection, he was already glad he’d brought her early to experience a northern winter and the delight it brought. “All winter and sometimes longer, I’ve been told. I think it’s nice in small bursts but I don’t think I’d want to leave in this for months at a time.” But that was okay—plenty of people that were Searched and came to Ista said much the same about how hot it could be year round so they balanced each other out.
As they neared the pond, he laughed again and leaned in close to dramatically whisper, “you’re just catching them all at the right moment. I bet they’ve all fallen or will fall at least once.” Smiling and straightening again he added with a shrug, “if you fall, I’ll probably fall with you or be the cause of it because yes, I’m going with you, and to help you balance and find your ice legs, I’ll probably be holding onto you a lot.” He was glad for the cold because no doubt he was blushing at the idea. They’d done a lot more than holding hands or wherever else helping her balance might be, but that was alone and in his weyr, not out in the public at a Hold!
A fallen tree trunk had been split and turned into some makeshift benches that A’tay led them to. He had Zelly sit as he crouched before her, dropping the blades to the snow. “I asked Mylo to see if any of her friends had their own skates that might work for you, since hers would probably be too large. For some reason, Katiryn did and she let us borrow them for the day.” From what his sister had said, Katiryn’s dad spoiled her rotten and she often got the latest hot item or trend. She’d barely gone skating since they first went several years ago but she had a pair of blades just in case. “I’ll tie yours onto your boots and then do mine and then I’ll help you wobble to the ice.”
