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!

Vee grinned broadly, her amusement shining in her dark eyes as she moved to the sand and away from the water to deposit her shoes and bag, not wanting either to get wet, then went back and took the offered scrub brush and moved to Ironth's side. "Well you just tell me where to scrub Ironth." She gave his leg a pat then wet the brush a bit and found herself a spot opposite K'ton and gently started scrubbing Ironth's hide. She loved being near dragons, and having them all around was wonderful, having one that considered her friend enough to bespeak her and invite her to help bathe him was an entirely different level of happiness for the girl.
The water lapping at her legs was cool and felt good on her skin and she had started to softly hum one of the teaching ballads when K'ton spoke up. At his words she gave a little sound of surprise and lost grip on the brush. It plunked into the shallow water and she reached down to snatch it up before it had a chance to fully sink into the water. She blinked and thought to look at him with the surprise she felt, but thought better of it and instead what she did was give a faint nod and said, "Well...", she paused, not really knowing what to say. "I think..you should quit saying 'bastard', and start using the child's name first.", she said gently. She hated the term 'bastard', and though it was widely used it felt like a horrible filthy word. And she was certain no son or daughter of K'ton's would be either. She was a bit annoyed she supposed, that he used the term, why she didn't really know. Slowly she casually moved toward him, as if she did it without realizing it, but of course was perfectly aware, as she was not denying Ironth any attention at all as she moved.
She chanced a look at him, not certain where to go with the conversation. She absently wet the scrub brush again, pushed the hair out of her face with the back of her damp hand, leaving a smear of water along her forehead as she went back to scrubbing. "Tell me about him?", she said after a moment, her tone light and friendly as always, but cautious as well. She had no doubt that K'ton could easily be a wonderful father, or at least a fatherly figure to the child he found, or to any child really. He was a loving person, even if he didn't think so. Her mind wandered to Evritt and she wondered, a bit sadly, but only briefly, who Evritt's father was. He had been gone when she had woke the morning after that flight and none had stepped up to claim him. Not that it mattered, she didn't need anyone to help her with Evritt, they could face the world together if need be. She pushed her thoughts away to better concentrate on K'ton, she was certain he needed a friend or else he wouldn't have bothered to mention the child as he had.
