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!

"I don't know if I could do that much practice," said Zelana as she marveled at the knight A'tay had sculpted. She definitely knew she wasn't the most persistent person, especially for things that she thought were boring. It was one of the things she admired about A'tay. He seemed much more patient about that sort of thing than she was. Patient enough to teach her a few things even! "I'm glad you're good enough at it to try and teach me a few things. Even if it's just a little pawn. Maybe by the time I make enough pawns you'll be done with all of your other chess sets and we can learn how to play chess together." She gave a conspiratorial look around before whispering, "Maybe strip chess exists."
She turned her attention back to finishing up her rook and by the time she was finished, with a bit of extra help from her boyfriend for the final touches, it looked rather respectable and like the chess piece she was trying to emulate. Zelly grinned, proud of her little sculpture. "I still like yours better, but this came out better than I thought! Thank you for the help," she said before leaning over to give him a quick peck. "I think for the king and queen I'll make the bases and you can do the tops to make them properly fancy."
The bases were simple enough that she could easily do them, she just started making a bigger pawn, but without the top. Forgetting the warning about not sitting in snow, she sat down while she watched A'tay put on the finishing touches to the pieces. While she waited she quietly grabbed a handful of snow to pack into a ball, waiting until he'd finished before she threw it at him, narrowly missing his head and sending the ball sailing past. With a small startled squeak and the advantage of surprise lost, Zelly scrambled to her feet and tried to run while she still could, but her legs were cold, the snow more slippery than she anticipated, and she didn't make it far before she fell back into the snow from her own flailing.
