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!

S'bel tried to appear at least a little sympathetic as the girl complained about the day's work. Even with his polished insincerity, it was still a bit difficult for him to fake it when he had generally had little pity for those who hadn't had to live through the plague and exile. A girl her age, even if she had been alive for them, wouldn't have been old enough to probably even remember any of it, let alone have to deal with it on her own. He decided to not even touch that comment- trying to come up with a reply would probably just come out with some hint of the biting lack of sympathy he felt.
His eyes lit up at the comment about Katila. "Ah, but don't you know? We're going back North!" S'bel sounded even more enthusiastic than normal. Usually not much could get his truly excited- mildly amused, maybe but not honestly excited- but he had to admit that the prospect of going home was a welcome one. "Surely you've heard that from some gossip monger in the caverns." They couldn't be that ignorant, could they? Surely not all of them. He settled back down into his comfortable lounging, his moment of excitement done with. "As for what makes it a good day? Hm, well, objectively? There was no natural disaster today. You have all limbs, as do I. We have shade. You're not dying of firehead. There's a few things that are generally considered good." He gave the girl a sidelong glance. "Unless you do have firehead. In that case, keep away, it was most decidedly not one the favorite moments of my life." In fact his darkest hour, in all probability, but S'bel dragged that thought back down into the depths of things he absolutely hated about life, but ignored for his own sanity.
He continued talking casually, a lazy smile on his features as he did. "And more subjectively, there are those who would argue that being happy is all that is worth anything in life. The pursuit of happiness- doing what feels good- is all that actually matters in life. A noble pursuit. Though I can see you quite disagree." Really though, S'bel did too. While he did hold a few hedonistic tendencies, he had long ago given up on the idea of ever being truly happy.
S'bel smirked, then let a chuckle escape as Kiamyn introduced herself. From vitriol to introductions so quickly? The bluerider was quite amused at that, but didn't offer any explanation or insight into what he found so funny. Instead he offered up his own name. "S'bel." He let the name stand on it's own for a few moments before he waved a hand and added with very little decorum or care, "-of blue Ipsyth, or whatever."You forgot searchrider. I also left out the part about being a selfish bastard. Mustn't give too much of myself away. I have to retain some mystique before people wizen up and realize they probably should never talk to me. S'bel... A joke, a joke. After all, what was life, but a cruel joke?
