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!

Ironth crooned quietly to the weeping woman cradled in his paw. He could feel the warm of her tears as they hit his hide and his distress heightened and though unseen, his hide had begun to take a decidedly greyish hue. Grey interspersed the yellows and purples that vied for attention in his quickly whirling eyes and they shifted to gaze at his bonded as the man slipped a blanket around the shoulders of the woman. Fingers opened to admit the man.
What could he do? Her tears ate at him, breaking his heart for her just that much more but he was at a loss. It wasn't something new, K'ton never handled tears and weeping well, always unsure of what to do. Did he comfort her with awkward pats on the arm? Did he lie and say everything would be okay? What did he do?! His mouth opened to let loose a string of words but they never came. His arms moved without his knowledge to gather the woman to him. He didn't shush her. He didn't make soothing noises, he only held her as she cried out her heart cradled by him and Ironth.
Finally her cries subsided and K'ton nearly heaved a sigh of relief but held it in check. Then she started to speak and if his heart could shatter it would have. He hadn't realized the depth of her doubt or the fractured confidence that she possessed. He hadn't - and wouldn't unless he could get her to say - known she felt herself flawed and incapable of what she dreamed of the most. What he wouldn't give to put a smile back on her beautiful face.
She thinks she will never impress, Ironth told him quietly, a touch contrite. The brown didn't often eavesdrop on another's thoughts but Vaelya was so loud right now! Its not polite to eavesdrop, Ironth. Especially on our friends, K'ton chastised lightly and the big brown shifted as he murmured softly. "Vaelya.. Vaelya, what are you giving up on?" he asked quietly. He didn't want her to give up on anything. He wanted her to think that the sky was her limit and she could have anything and everything she wanted, but he couldn't say the words because he couldn't be sure that she would have everything she ever wanted.
