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'nd was moving dangerously close to daydreaming while waiting for the announcement so it was a good thing Kerrin always seemed to be around in such times to keep him alert. The seed to the cheek didn't hurt but it startled the bluerider back to reality and a quick glance in the direction it had to come from revealed the weyrbrat he actually liked. Most days, anyway. Today had been one of those days and has his lips started to curl into a devious grin, D'ren naturally chose to start speaking. He mouthed the words 'I'll get you later' before turning back to watch the man while he listened since he felt body language could often say so much more than mere words. That belief ended up being correct as he watched D'ren try to remain calm and confident while delivering news that would be met with mixed reactions and likely dampen the weyrleader's attempts at blending in with the commonfolk and showing he was approachable. Indeed he was approachable given the way a woman stormed up to him afterwards.
Going back over the speech left R'nd wondering if it was appropriate to cheer. He had just been told by their leader to go have more sex. Not that he needed that permission given how active he already kept himself partially out of the need to enter flights but also because he simply enjoyed bringing pleasure to other people. The only downside to the announcement was the child portion. He wasn't foolish enough to believe he wasn't the father of at least one of the babes still being cradled or getting under feet as they start to walk or get their hands into everything but that was easy enough to ignore with women having the option to go between. Now, however, they were being told it'd be appreciated if they avoided doing that which meant there was a higher chance of being told he was a father. Maybe. Most of his partners weren't exclusive with him so there was no guarantee it was his. Besides, as a dragonrider he wasn't expected to do that whole parenting thing anyway. So he was back to mentally cheering at the prospect of serving his Weyr well and proudly although he did give a moment's pause to acknowledge there were some great female riders and it wasn't entirely fair to deny the current generation of potential Candidates a chance to Impress.
He watched people arguing their points with friends as others clinked mugs together in cheer for a short while before wondering if any of the Candidates were good-looking. He hadn't seen many of them around given the way they kept to themselves or had classes that he wasn't allowed to teach yet but given he didn't recognize the young woman now arguing with D'ren and Tsuen, R'nd suspected that she was one of them. Since she was up there and looking rather upset, it was safe to say she wasn't for the idea which was almost a challenge to R'nd. Perhaps he could show her how nice some dragonriders could be. But that could wait a little longer, first he wanted to let D'ren know that he did have the support of at least one of his riders.
Standing, R'nd turned and gave a light smack to the back of Kerrin's head both as payback for the seed tossing, "come on, Squirt. Let's go tell the Weyrleader we support his decision. You're in need of the few extra bonus points that gesture will bring you."
