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!

After such a suppressive childhood, Apari loved to find someone willing to have a harmless conversation and this young girl was willing to do just that. She really needed to find the courage to talk to children more often! Absolutely delighted, she smiled and nodded vigorously in agreement. “His color is why I’d chosen that name for him.”
Smiling as Cinnamon gave the girl a snort in response and disappeared off the table and into Aparicus’ lap, she shrugged to indicate that the bronze was not the most social of firelizards. Well, that was not completely true. He could throw a tantrum with the best of greens if he felt someone was upsetting her. It seemed that he’d found Casa an unlikely threat.
Ah, the mud. Yes, that was something Aparicus tended to forget came with the rain. As a farmcrafter, she was in the dirt throughout most of her days already. She did give Casa a sympathetic nod though and made a mental note to herself to check her boots the next time she came in from the gardens.
“Oh all kinds of plants.” She answered. “Mint, Basil, Cinnamon… Just about any plant that can be used in cooking fresh or dried. In fact, I have a whole workroom that I use in the crafter’s hall for drying spices for the kitchens. What I love to do most though is starting fresh shoots. Whenever we have a demand for more of a plant than our gardens can handle, I start new plants growing to make sure we have enough without hurting what plants we have by collecting too much. I even help with a lot of the herbs in the healers garden.”
That made her falter a moment in memory. Working in the healers herb garden had almost gotten her into a lot more trouble than she’d have ever wished for when Weyrleader D’ren had been poisoned. She still remembered vividly how fearful she had been when she’d stumbled upon a suspect list to find her own name upon it just because of her knowledge of herbs. Shaking her head, she tried to bring herself out of the past and back into the present.
Hearing about how flowers had stained the girls tunic, Apari laughed again. “Oh yes, some you do have to be careful with. It took me a long time to get into the habit of wearing gloves. My hands use to look pretty strange stained so many different colors.”
