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!

Rhaedalyn stared at Indivara in silence for a span of seconds as she tried to figure out what the girl meant. When the word ‘short’ echoed in her head over and over, it finally dawned on her that the horrible haircut she had been given was being mocked and her lower lip started to tremble again. It wasn’t like she wanted to lose all of her hair! The long curly strands may have been a handful but they were like a security blanket to Rhaedalyn and now she had nothing left. “I… I didn’t… she said… no choice,” a gasp for air or a sniffle punctuated every couple of words as Rhaedalyn tried her best to carry on a conversation about something she knew should have been mundane and nothing to cry over.
She purposely let the silence consume them as Rhaedalyn stared at her hands. No matter how many times she scrubbed them, dirt still seemed to cling under her nails and she took to picking at one to try cleaning it again. While she liked Indivara and wanted to thank her for attempting to distract her from her horrible thoughts, the truth was, her haircut simply wasn’t the best way to go about it and neither was questioning what she had been talking about with the gold dragon that was remarkably behaving herself rather well. I’m not made of bad manners like some tiny golds running amok. Aradissicath commented on a haughty note, not at all pleased at even remotely being associated with the younger gold dragons that had left a bad impression from the moment they hatched.
Normally Rhaedalyn would have flailed around mentally and even physically at insulting her dragon but she couldn’t even find the energy to do that. She was miserable and alone. Friends had died, R’nya was concussed and almost too weird to spend too much time around, and Kahleena was busy with her own recovery of friends and piecing together life again. You are not alone. You have me and the little ones. You still have Kahleena and R’nya but they have their own struggles to deal with first but you’ll all be back together soon. You also have the tiny girl with the big mouth that keeps staring at you like you’re pathetic and fragile. You are no such thing and you should show her that. The dragon chided Rhaedalyn but it was done out of love and the way her head swung around to nuzzle at the upset girl confirmed that. Self-pity would never do and while Aradissicath didn’t want to take away the grieving that was needed to help heal, she didn’t want Rhaedalyn getting lost in the grief and possible blame that could come from it.
Rhaedalyn sighed, nodded, and gave Aradissicath a kiss to the nose. That seemed to be enough to make the dragon lie back down, giving a sigh of her own. Being egg-heavy and so close to clutching made every action seem like she had flown to the North and back in one day. She couldn’t wait to be able to move once more without such exhaustion!
“And we can’t…” Rhaedalyn picked up the conversation that Indivara had not only interrupted but invited herself into. It didn’t seem like it would hurt any to have the girl know what was going on. Everyone knew Tsuen was dying and Krypth likely wouldn’t be strong enough to control the dragon population on her own. “Tsuen isn’t improving so we were told what would happen when she… passes. Dissi is to help keep Nirinath’s order in place.” She spoke quickly, far too afraid to slow down in case she lost her nerves or ability to speak without turning into a fountain of tears again. Rumour crooned at her and Rhaedalyn picked him up to cuddle close.
