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!

R'ana knew that look. It was the look of someone who thought she was a ditz. Normally she would have been offended, but she had a feeling it might be better if D'hys thought her an idiot.
She was trying to figure out the best way to react when he threw her another curveball by creeping up behind her and wrapping arms around her. It made her instantly aware that the robe was all she wore, and that he probably noticed. Before she could gather the courage to stomp on his foot and make him let her go, he tensed behind her.
She answered, "I have no clue. I ran around the lake, made sure Shanith was flying the entire time I ran. I ate breakfast in the dining hall and I went for a bath. Next thing I know half the damn firelizards in the weyr have descended on me. I need to ask Shanith if she stepped on a nest or something but she's not that careless normally, reputation aside..."
Forgetting she was supposed to be acting the ditz, R'ana hmmed. "Look at the scars on some of the fair. Those aren't tame. If someone treated their lizard like that, it would go wild." She thought that over, trying to work out what she did, then gave up for now.
She reached to grip his hand in a surprising gesture. His tension showed he he was unhappy but most negative emotions would have her bearing D'hys inflicted bruises by now. It meant she suspected unease and wanted to ease it and make him feel better.
She winced when he told her his dragon came, felt him keep her in his grasp, and tensed herself as the icy blue landed and roared. She had the sudden sinking feeling that D'hys would now say she owed him. It was a typical bluerider tactic and nothing in this weyr was free. Well at the very least she owed him an apology. "I am sorry they came here. I will wash Shanith thoroughly to make sure she doesn't get lizard germs all over your dragon and the others of the weyr."
Shanith pulled herself to her feet and went to nuzzle Zeianth. She stopped at R'ana's shouted command to freeze and froze. She brightened upon reassurance that R'ana wasn't mad at her, just didn't want her touching Zeianth until after R'ana had bathed her.
Though, that did remind her...She turned the blue and bowed a bit to him in gratitude, a trick she had picked up back at Fort.I thank you for your timely aid, Zeianth. I don't know if you and yours care, but a bronze friend of mine sent those lizards to chase mine around as a joke. She nor I did anything to provoke this. Tell yours to be careful, she was bitten and scratched a bit and from the way she feels, fell a few times in transit. If she doesn't want me touching you until I'm washed of firelizard germs, the same will probably apply to yours.
R'ana was released and stepped back a few more steps from D'hys, straightening her robe quickly. At his words, she shook her head and said, "I expected that to take another five minutes. But you are right, I do owe you, and better to negotiate now than owe you a favour later. I'm utterly awful in bed..." She trailed off in thought. She wasn't sure she was really, just the words prude and frigid had been tossed at her enough times that she didn't want to test it. She picked up after a moment.
"My skills are recopying books, drawing, making oil for dragons, cooking, and making assorted herbal concoctions." Her stone experimenting she left out of it, not trusting those skills enough for her to consider them tradeable. "I could cook dinner for you and that greenrider you're dating one night, or do a sketch of his dragon for you to give him as a gift. Or I could copy you out one of the recipe books I have somewhere on my bookshelf? Or make you a jar of massage oil. I did that once for someone and he said it was worth the trade of helping me fix my hut after the storms."
She folded her arms, nervously, hoping he picked one of those. Her body language was beginning to show how trapped she felt, how uncertain suddenly of her footing here with him. When he moved, she rocked back a step then froze, unwilling to show him how badly she wanted to just run. D'hys was mostly an unknown and she hated unknowns!
