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!

Lazerat still felt bad that he missed the last Hatching and how he was glad Zelly hadn’t Impressed at it. He didn’t want to miss her big moment but he also had his responsibilities that he couldn’t shirk no matter how much he sometimes wanted to. But this time he planned better. He told his father he was more interested in staying on land for a bit, doing more of the book work, than going out on the ships. It made it easier to sneak off when Shadow appeared with a note saying the Hatching was starting.
Grateful that he wasn’t stuck in a meeting of some sort which would have ruined all of his planning, Lazerat was free to disappear for a bit since he put in some work that morning. His parents could rely on him to get work done and return to it later on if he happened to slink off for a bit of fun. He was also grateful to A’tay for being kind enough to continuously bring him to the Weyr for visits, though Lazerat hadn’t gone to Benden yet. He felt a bit awkward sneaking into a Weyr that his sister was only a visitor of herself.
When they did arrive, Lazerat was blown away by the size difference. He’d only seen Ista Weyr up until that moment and Benden seemed massive in comparison. It was also fully enclosed, unlike Ista with its missing side. A part of him wanted to stay up in the air a bit longer to take in more observations but he was too excited to see his sister again and he could feel A’tay’s own excitement as well.
In the stands, it was all he could do to stop himself from running down and giving Zelly the biggest hug when she arrived. It had been months since they had last seen each other but he could wait a few hours more and hug her afterward. Maybe it would be in congratulations for Impressing! Lazerat hadn’t fully processed that idea still, almost a year later. But he would be happy for her if it happened.
When the Hatching began in earnest, Lazerat watched with interest and then with fear as it seemed like a fight was about to break out. Where were their mates? Weren’t they supposed to find them quickly and shouldn’t those boys be helping to stop whatever was about to happen? His own instinct was to dash down there and guard his sister but A’tay placed a hand on his thigh to steady him. A glance showed the younger man was just as worried but also confident it would be okay. Lazerat had to believe it would be.
