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!

Erisi stared at Talian for a few stunned seconds. He hadn't expected anyone to be awake at this time of night, let alone Talian, who he imagined went to bed as soon as it was dark and woke up at the crack of dawn. Erisi hadn't been aware that he was closer to Talian's room than his own, but to his credit these rooms all looked the same. Needless to say, he was mildly stunned to see Talian poke his head out of the room next to him. For a moment, he had no idea how to react. He was the type of person who hated being vulnerable, and even more than that, hated letting people see how vulnerable he was. It was a sign of weakness in a place where weakness meant converting to the Weyr's lifestyle.
He realized how he must have looked, and true to his nature he immediately set about trying to look as if nothing was wrong. He ran a slender hand over his face as if to rub the redness out of his eyes. Likely, the action only made the look worse. Erisi was in the process of tying his hair back out of his face when he finally gave Talian's question an answer. There was no telling how long he had let it hang in the air as he nervously fixed his appearance and adjusted to Talian's sudden appearance. Really, he had expected to be able to make it back to his room so he could continue to look as miserable as he wanted to be in peace. Perhaps it was his fault for lingering in the hallway, but he had to take a breath to calm the horrible flow of emotions in his head.
"Y-Yeah." That didn't even sound convincing when he heard it himself. Sucking in another breath, he glanced away from Talian to relieve the pressured feeling the man's inquiry had laid on him. It wasn't really Talian's fault for caring, but Erisi was usually entirely closed off when it came to personal matters. He could lay down a heavy front through anger and one sharding good bickering voice, but that had always been the surface emotion to his own issues. In that moment, he wasn't even sure Talian was a close enough friend for him to feel comfortable opening up to. "I just..."
Shard it. He was really terrible about opening up. It was clear that he was trying to a degree to say what was wrong, but he kept chickening out. His hands would go back to his face to block off any reply, even when the action only made it more apparent that something was up with the young Harper. "In a little bit. I'll be fine in a little while." So, he definitely wasn't fine now, but at least he was promising to be eventually.
