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!

V'riy chuckled as Arddra commented that she could get used to riding around on his shoulders. "Well, with any luck, you'll have a dragon for that soon. They're really much better at it," he laughed. He was glad that she wasn't able to see the pleased smile that he hadn't been able to hold back in reaction to her teasing.
The bronzerider swam alongside Morith and grabbed onto the riding strap firmly. Moving one arm behind him, V'riy put his hand on Arddra's and guided it to the leather strap while turning to the side with his body, bringing her a close as possible. "Just grab onto the strap and you'll be fine," he assured her. "You can use it to lift yourself up, and I can give you a boost once you have a good hold on it."
After Arddra did as he instructed, he cupped her right foot with both of his hands and boosted her up as he treaded water to keep himself afloat. He found it rather more difficult to do than he had originally thought it would be since he had never done it before while swimming but he managed. He was glad that she was able to climb up the rest of the way without any issues. She didn't have that far to go since Morith was mostly submerged, but he was still a good-sized bronze so there was a small bit of climbing to do. Unhooking the brush from his belt, he passed it up to Arddra along with some sweetsand.
When V'riy was satisfied that Arddra was well-secured on top of Morith's broad shoulders between two ridges, he unhooked his own brush and made his way to Morith's rear limbs, intent on scrubbing his hindquarters and tail. Now that he was slightly out of Arddra's line of sight, V'riy took his time studying her appearance. She had a slim build, something that he preferred in women, but she was still quite shapely.
As she bent over to scrub a hard to reach area on Morith's neck, the bronzerider sucked his breath in with a hiss and mentally rebuked himself. He grabbed the pouch of sweetsand and applied some to his brush, scrubbing dutifully at Morith's tail as he attempted to clear his mind. He wasn't supposed to be sizing her up, he was supposed to be teaching her proper dragon care. The bronzerider had to repeat this to himself several times as his eyes kept straying in Arddra's direction.
"Just let me know when you've done as much as you can, and we'll stop for a midday meal," the man called out to Arddra. He knew that he could go for a long time just scrubbing his bronze but he was used to it. V'riy was sure that she would be getting tired soon and he was starting to get hungry.
