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!

He was knee deep in puppies and despite the general chaos and noise lever that came from dealing with this many young canines at the same time, Terken was happy. The pen was large enough to give them some room to play, and in a moment of weakness, Terken had allowed some of the younger weyrbrats to festoon it with brightly colored strips and cloth and ribbon. How was he supposed to say no to the big eyes and pouting of a toddler? Oh well, at least they hadn't wanted to paint the pen. That would have been bad.
He kept looking around for Thief, hoping but doubting that the little beast would wander back on his own. His luck wasn't that good. He had his back turned when the entire knot of puppies switched from nosing about the pen to rearing up, yipping and pawing at the wall. Sighing, he turned, hoping it wasn't a firelizard. All but one of the litter adored the creatures. Well, all of them adored the creatures, it was just Trouble that seemed to think they made a wonderful chewtoy.
It was a woman. Terken couldn't place her right away, but stopped trying, enough in his element to greet her with a relaxed smile. "Yes. Might you own that slipper there?" Thief was trying to chew on her fingers, and Terken reached out to gently tap his nose and told him firmly, "No." The canine whined, but stopped trying to chew her fingers and licked instead.
"I'm Terken. The mother's Kela, and the fluffballs don't all have names yet. Who are you?" Yeah, he was a bit blunt about it, but there was seldom a point in beating around the bush. He continued. "Thank you for returning Thief to hi..." That was cut off by an undignified yelp as sharp teeth closed around his ankle.
"No, Nibble. No." The canine in question sat and looked up at Terken sadly, then resumed nibbling on his ankle. Not correcting her this time, Terken scooped up the canine in question, gave her to Vaeyla and reclaimed Thief. "I apologize. Thief's an escape artist and I was supposed to have help socializing this litter but the drudge helping me got reassigned this morning." He held Thief close to his chest, knowing if he set the pup down he'd escape again.
Hearing another play fight break out between Trouble and Chaos, he moved back to break it up, using his free hand to place each pup on opposite sides of the pen. They each settled a moment, then started to sniff around the area, then rejoined their brothers and sisters. Thief was given a pet, Terken relaxing as the canine covered his face in licks. "Yes, yes, I like you too."
