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!

Despite how he didn't always let a subject drop or the way he said things when the timing was less than appropriate, Valerian did have a good handle on reading situations and people. He could tell Erisi was reaching the limit of being pushed about the encounter and Talian seemed as nervous as he had the first day they met with Allendris in the Healing Hall. So while he wanted to grill Erisi more about the encounter and learn what he could about the jerk that seemed to think he could walk all over the weyrlings and give him a piece of his mind -- though Valerian suspected he'd end up in the same shape as his friend if he did meet N'gelt -- he held his tongue and let the subject drop. It didn't hurt that he suddenly had his lap full of a little green's head. With a crooked little smile, Valerian patted Charath on the head and began petting her gently. He knew of the animosity between Veeth and the green but he couldn't shake the flimsy little connection he felt was made at the Touching. Besides, she was sweet in her own way and helped Erisi when she wasn't picking on him.
Veeth tilted his head to the side as he regarded Talian with curious eyes and once again ignoring Charath and her comments meant to bait him or belittle him. The man seemed nervous but the little blue couldn't figure out why since they were all friends. Well, there was Charath so maybe there was a reason to be a bit on edge after all. But what a strange collection the humans were! They were all so different but Veeth could already see so many similarities amongst them as he merrily picked his way through Valerian's mind. Once he had plucked through everything he could with a more thorough examination than he had previously done upon Talian's arrival, Veeth made the decision that while the Healer was a bit skittish and on edge, he was still a good man and only in need of loving friendships.
Why are you nervous, Talian? We're friends and wouldn't hurt you. The idea that his talking to the man or his very presence alone had the negative effect on Talian didn't enter Veeth's mind. He was so sure that Valerian's friends were his friends as well. He left the gentle touch of Erisi behind and took the few steps over to sit pretty next to Talian and give him a soft head butt to the leg like he had done with Erisi to show his affection for the man.
Valerian eyed his dragonet with amusement before sending Talian a curious glance of his own. He had his suspicions about how deep the man's hatred for dragons ran and hoped Veeth didn't scare him off in a record-breaking run. It was at Erisi's idea of what he would become and Talian's floundering to soothe their friend that Valerian realized he had better jump back into the conversation, especially when a pleading look was sent his way. "I don't think that came out wrong, Tal. Eri is more than just a means to an end for horny riders. We're both more than the simple definition of 'bluerider' or 'greenrider' and I don't see either of us settling for being only that label either."
He picked at his food again and shrugged as a playful smirk spread over his lips and green eyes locked back onto the green weyrling, "but if nothing else, I guess it's a good thing I'm a bluerider. I'll just train Veeth to fly quickly and work on him and Charath liking each other to save you from the fate of being an outlet to every random stranger on a male dragon." He was teasing his friend but also slightly serious if that was what it took to help ease Erisi's fears of the future. He glanced down at the green he still indulged with petting and wondered what exactly it would take to get her to accept Veeth as worthy enough.
