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!

Indivara enjoyed the casual and companionable silence that often came with R'nd's presence. It was an enjoyable change to the bitching and bickering that came alongside Kerrin, though she wouldn't swap the older Weyrbrat for half the dragons left on Pern (not that she'd tell anyone that - especially not R'nd!) and enjoyed the fighting as much as she knew Kerrin did. He wouldn't come seeking it if he didn't! R'nd, on the other hand, tended to come in peace and bring quiet peace along with him. It helped that he sided with her as often as he sided with Kerrin when they had fights. She liked having someone insist to Kerrin she was right... She liked it less when he tried to convince her Kerrin was right (especially if she knew that made both men right!).
The quiet swear word would have been lost on Indivara, who was rather swept up in digging out the moat and wondering if she would be able to steal a container off someone to fill it with water, or if she would have to dig a trench all the way to the lake's edge, though in truth it wasn't all that far away. Maybe if she dug a few more inches it would fill itself up? The girl's thoughts were interrupted and she blinked as R'nd skittered toward her, shifting to sit up properly she eyed his expression suspiciously, a sly smirk weaving onto her lips as she did so. Pure terror, who would have thought R'nd was afraid of beach critters. "Dig up a 'snake, R'nd?" She teased, even as she leaned over the castle to peer where the bluerider had been digging. She burst into laughter when she spotted the nest full of eggs sitting there harmlessly. Blue eyes sparkled with devious amusement as she counted them.
"Wait, what?" A scowl transformed her features into a rather horrific array of frown lines and furrowed scar tissue as she glared at R'nd irritably. "One?" She gestured at the nest in irritation, though the girl did oblige and pick up the egg R'nd took such pains to pick out for Kerrin. Putting it aside, Indivara peered at the rest that were visible, quickly snatching one about the same size as the one R'nd had picked for Kerrin before the bluerider began burring the nest once more and she giggled, amused by his expression. "Don't you want one," Indivara cooed mischievously, waving her egg carefully in his face. "They're most likely tunnelsnakes of some description." Oh, the terror she would wreak upon the Weyr with a baby tunnelsnake hatching! Indivara smirked deviously, sitting back and popping the eggs together in her lap.
"The dragons only survived because of their riders. Do you honestly think that firelizards had enough brains to keep themselves alive?" Indivara had never seen a firelizard - they'd all been long dead before she was born - but she'd heard stories, especially since the first egg was found on the current expedition, and had very little faith in the intelligence of the creatures. The answering shirt thrown in her face made Indivara laugh more, and she removed the eggs from her lap to spread the shirt across her knees ("Oooh, it's still warm!") with a sideways smirk and top it up with sand. Then she placed the two eggs in carefully and covered them with a little more sand. Tugging up the edges of the shirt, her smirk grew as she tied the short sleeves together in a knot to hold the entire thing secure.
"Are you going to finish the castle?" The eggs were put aside, and Indivara stared at R'nd with an upraised eyebrow. Abandoning her current task wouldn't make the eggs go away. It'd probably keep her twitching companion happier knowing the nest was within his sight and out of sight of everyone else. Indivara grinned impishly and emptied a handful of sand on R'nd's head.
