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!

Torath rumbled deeply and moved to lay his bulk beside the smaller green, nozing her before giving a wide jawed, lazy yawn. Indeed. Your rider may not mind him being angry, but I do. He is far too grumpy lately, with all that has happened., Torath rumbled deeply as he settled down, watching both the riders and Shaith, his great eyes swirling slowly. He watched Shanith nudge her rider toward N'kal, it amused him but he didn't comment, simply watched them for the moment. When R'ana stepped away from Shanith he turned his head slightly, scratching his chin on the ground gentle before lifting his great head and dropping it on Shanith's playfully. You should not pick on your tiny rider, you know they are fragile., he told her, amusement in his tone.
N'kal had lifted a brow again, watching Shanith nudge her rider forward, and couldn't help but ask, "Why does she keep doing that?" It was as funny to him as it was to Torath, so there was amusement in his tone. He knew most riders and dragons interacted the same way, but Shanith seemed adamant that her rider be shoved forward, towards him. He was just slightly curious about that, considering he didn't know either of them at all. He really needed to be out and about more. Yes. You do., Torath told him quietly. As I often try to tell you. 'Yes I know..be quiet you...and quit gettin' cozy with Shanith...', N'kal answered, half in amusement, half in annoyance. The great beast of a dragon was forever trying to get him to be more social then he was comfortable with. He was perfectly fine spending his time in his hut...far away from the rest of the weyr. Yet you are lonely..., Torath pointed out quietly as he nuzzle Shanith purposefully because N'kal told him not to.
He glared at Torath slightly, looking past R'ana to do so then focused d on her again when she spoke. He gave a sigh and shrugged slightly in response. "Life has been exceptionally unkind to her since we arrived. I continue to hope her mind will be at ease and that she and Nirinath can once again regain some control over the weyr.", he offered quietly. "There are too few who care for the woman, and though I would not consider us friends, I hold a respect for her that most do not, nor do they understand. It makes me..hmm..glad I suppose, that you wanted to try and brighten her day, most simply dismiss her.", his tone had turned a bit stern, even though he wasn't certain why. Torath rumbled at him but made no comment on his rider's emotion regarding the crazy lady and her dragon. It had always been that way, since things first settled around them. Whenever someone spoke out against the woman, N'kal and Torath were among those to defend her, crazy or not, so there really wasn't anything to say on the matter that hadn't been said in the past. N'kal thought over the younger rider's words, she seemed surprisingly intelligent for a green rider, something that was fairly uncommon in his opinion. He couldn't say he blamed her for not trusting her superiors, they usually only had their own interests in mind.
When R'ana answered his inquiry on D'ren he grunted, fearing as much. HE hoped the man made a steady recovery, but was afraid they would be stuck with S'kef until someone knocked him out of rank, which needed to happen sooner, rather than later. It could easily be us who tears him from his position., Torath said with a slight growl to his voice. N'kal shot him a look that was both surprised and annoyed, it was rare that Torath spoke up about such matters and it proved to N'kal how very unhappy the bronze was, being beneath a brown. 'It is not for us to lead.', he answered sternly. Torath left it alone, knowing that tone all too well and instead prodded at Shanith. Humans are so fussy..., he said to her absently. N'kal, having ended the leadership conversation a bit tersely with Torath sighed and gave the young woman a grunt before replying. "Trust me...You will not find any argument here. I stay as far away from politics as I can get, considering Torath is a bronze." He knew Torath was right, but he had never wanted anything to do with leading, he didn't care for how people used one another to get higher ranks or get things they wanted. He didn't like the whole business of politics, not one bit, even if he sometimes felt he could do better.
When R'ana brought the conversation around to Torath, he smiled gently, instantly relaxing. Definitely a smarter green rider then most. "Yes, he does fly very well, exceptionally fast for his size and he likes to show it off." Torath perked up, forgetting his sour mood with his rider, crooning deeply at both humans at the compliments from both. Please inform R'ana that I appreciate the compliment., he said with a bit more cheer in his voice then before. N'kal grinned at him and looked to R'ana, still grinning. "Torath wishes to thank you for the compliment."
