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!

"Well maybe if we get some extra time you can help me practice with moving targets later," Zelly said with a laugh. Maybe she could get some practice in before they brought her brother up to experience snow, because she could imagine he would be merciless in such a battle. Images of him pelting A'tay filled her mind and she shook her head as she laughed, "Maybe we shouldn't tell Laz about the snow fights if we bring him up. Or I can just say this was all terribly, terribly boring. And cold. Definitely not something he'd be interested in."
She followed him to the fresh patch of snow, and before he could finish warning her she plopped down to sit next to him. "Oh. That makes sense." Zelana hastily got up and brushed the snow from her bottom. "It really isn't that bad though, I'm sure it will be fine. I've been wet plenty of times before, though maybe not while this cold." She gave him a smile before crouching down next to him, perched on her feet, hugging her knees to get a better look at his initial sculpting before reaching out to start scooping her own little pile of snow. "You make a fancier piece, like the knight. I'll do a pawn, since I've already made one. Do you think these will be sturdy enough for us to move around, like the snowballs? Or..." Zelly's voice trailed away as she accidentally toppled the tall shape she'd been trying to make. "Never mind. Just for looks then. I don't even know how to play chess, really."
It took a bit more experimenting before she managed to get a structure that was vaguely pawn shaped in the snow, though now that she looked at it she supposed it was a bit more phallic than she intended. This called for a change in tactics, especially since she remembered she was here to meet A'tay's family. Zelly started to try and thicken the shape up and give it less of a taper; maybe one of the castle pieces would be a bit more distinct and less vulgar instead. "I think you are much better at this than I am. With making shapes out of things. Were you always good or did you have to practice?"
