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 immediately stopped scrubbing when Arddra indicated that she was ready to stop. Morith had informed him that Arddra was taking a brief rest and the rider had known it she would soon be ready to go. The midday sun was beating down on their heads and reflecting off the water. While he was more than comfortable in the water and had plenty of energy to spare, her muscles wouldn't be used to such physical exertion and coupled with the sun overhead he had expected she would tire out quickly.
With a brief nod to her, he swam over quickly to the point directly below her and hung on to the riding strap with one hand while he braced himself against Morith's side with his foot for support. He held out his free hand to Arddra. "Throw down your brush first. Okay. Just take my hand and slide yourself down his side. You'll be just fine. It just takes a little getting used to."
Once Arddra was back in the water with her arms around his neck again, V'riy grabbed the second brush that was now floating in the water and hooked it onto his belt next to his own. He swam steadily toward the riverbank with Arddra in tow. The bronzerider was not tired in the least from bathing Morith. On the contrary, he was invigorated from the physical work, but he had worked up an appetite and was ready to take a break.
Morith submerged himself fully in the water as soon as V'riy was able to stand, not wanting to cause any waves while the pair made their way to the shore. His bronze head broke the surface of the water and he followed them to the shore where he outstretched his wings and fanned them slowly a few times to let the water slide off of them. He bumped Arddra playfully with his nose in thanks for her efforts on his behalf. The bronze was being relatively quiet but he had been enjoying himself and hadn't felt the need to talk.
V'riy settled Arddra on the blanket that he had set up earlier in the day. He smiled at her and cocked his head to the side, grinning as he asked her, "Fun, huh?" He nodded to Morith as the dragon came closer and proferred his foreleg. "I'm just going to pop to the kitchens and grab us something to eat. Be back in just a moment."

V'riy quickly jogged up to Arddra with a bundle of cloth that he deposited on the blanket. Untying it carefully, he revealed several meat rolls, bubbly pies, and an assortment of vegetables and tubers. It was definitely more than the two of them could eat. "Well, I promised you a picnic and here we are. I'm a man of my word. I wasn't sure exactly what you'd want, so I made sure to get you a good selection," he said, smiling kindly at her.
"Don't feel obligated to finish it all. Whatever we don't eat, I can always have later on in the day, or tomorrow." He pushed a plate towards the girl, sliding it slowly along the soft blanket. "Help yourself."
He got up and jogged back to Morith, climbing up the dragon to grab another bundle. Making his way back to the blanket, the rider quickly took a seat and unrolled the second bundle, revealing two bottles. "Juice and wine," the rider said as he nodded at them. "Well, what passes for wine at Katila, anyway," he chucked, winking at her. He unwrapped two glasses and picked up one as he gestured to the bottles. "What are you having?"
With a brief nod to her, he swam over quickly to the point directly below her and hung on to the riding strap with one hand while he braced himself against Morith's side with his foot for support.
