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!

He was a cautious man, growing up as he had he'd quickly learned how to look out for himself and his own interests. Logic trumped emotions and in a situation where emotions may have gotten the upper hand he maintained some semblance of self control. Gabrin was smart enough to offer him what he wanted most and he wasn't foolish enough to refuse in order to maintain some holdbred moral code. Yes he'd keep the man's secrets as if they were his own. Revealing them would lose him far more than he would gain.
Logical thought became a struggle as Gabrin's hand drifted lower, and Ekshan suspecting it was done to distract didn't make it any less distracting. He nodded, teeth clenched as he only half heard what Gabrin was saying, it was difficult to think when most of his blood was racing elsewhere. He turned his head toward Gabrin as if trying to gauge the truth of his words. Kindness was a foreign concept. His father had a firm belief that kindness bred weakness and if you could not stand up to the cruelties of the world you had no business being part of it.
He sagged back when Gabrin suddenly left the bed and moved toward the window. He took a few deep breaths, attempting to clear his head as he watched the other man, not sure what he was up to, but glad he'd vacated his personal space. Unfortunately that did not last, and gave a surprised grunt as Gabrin straddled his lap his expression a mix of annoyance and uncertainty.
Ekshan stared, mouth falling slightly open as Garbin recited his pedigree. He'd known he as a young lordling, but not an heir to a hold such as High Reaches. No he didn't think his father would resist at all and the look on his father's and brother's faces would be priceless. His fantasy was cut short by Gabrin's mouth against his own and after a minor hesitation he returned the gesture with an inexperienced zeal. He wasn't entirely sure what he was getting himself into, but such opportunities did not present themselves very often if ever, and he wasn't so innocent as to let such an opportunity pass him by. "I suppose you will wish to begin lessons on what is required of personal attendant right away?" He said a bit breathless after pulling back enough to speak, something that may have been teasing coloring his tone. He knew he was going to have to hold Gabrin's interests long enough to make sure his own were accomplished.
