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!

Tal watched with patient interest as B'jin worked. Having no artistic skill himself, Tal both respected and was fascinated by such endeavors. It was certainly something he could never hope to replicate.
He could only imagine how much effort went into such creations. But how, when B'jin made it look so easy? Perhaps Tal's stitches and incisions looked easy to other people. Were artistic and mechanical skills similar in that regard? Could it be learned, or was it purly natural? Tal still wasn't such which category healing fell in to, but art and surgery had to have something in common. The delicate motions, the intense concentration! Tal smiled, musing over the possibilities as he watched B'jin work. In a way, it was relaxing.
When it was finished and the final product revealed, a warm smile quickly crossed the healer's face. In truth, he'd have greatly preferred those ugly dragons be left off, but he'd never say that aloud. It was still beautiful, and the content was more fitting and perfect than B'jin could have known. Tal gently took the paper and looked over it, marveling at the exactness and liveliness of the artwork. How could something made from lines look so real, like it could start breathing on it's own?
"That's amazing," Tal said in a delicate whisper. He carefully set the parchment aside to avoid wrinkling it before leaning in and giving his father figure a gentle hug. "I wish I could give something to you, but I'm afraid I'm not good at things like that," he said, almost purring. "I'll make everything up to you one day, though..." His voice became distant and almost hazy at the end, filled with unspoken thoughts but still tinged with gentle warmth. It had been a good day.
