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!

Dareji had a feeling she wasn’t unique in her feelings that morning. Touchings used to always bring an air of excitement with them but since Thallyath’s maiden clutch, it seemed everyone dreaded them. She kind of did as well, to be honest. She knew it was normal to have bad reactions but she’d never experienced anything like that before and was afraid to again. Still, she kept attending every single one she was allowed to and would proudly Stand at every Hatching she could despite how many deaths she had seen beside her on the Sands or how she was nearly mauled and trampled herself at poor T’ryn’s first Hatching. She was glad his second one went a lot smoother. T’ryn and Mulrissa were both sweet, as were their dragons—mostly; Syrendryth was a snob and she didn’t know Bedith too well but heard she was nice.
Aradissicath had a reputation for having good babies and calm Hatchings so this time, Dareji felt a bit lighter going into the Touching. There had to be good to balance the bad, and this would be it. Maybe one of her eggs would make her doubt something, but it wouldn’t show her a vast expanse of nothing with only dread to fill her or a gnawing hunger that could never be sated. She could handle this, she was determined to.
When she saw Katiryn stop and gawk at Rhaedalyn, Dareji gave a little giggle and nudged her friend. The girl got crushes so easily, though she knew this one was a crush and more. Katiryn saw what she wanted in Rhaedalyn’s life and a role model, especially one as nice as the Weyrwoman, wasn’t a bad thing. Still, it was fun to tease a friend when you could!
She giggled again as a bunch of girls dashed over to the golds. She knew she would have to touch them eventually as well, but to be honest, she kind of had her heart set on blue. Her brother and dad were both blueriders so she’d always had blue dragons in her life and she simply adored them. She wouldn’t be opposed to a green or even gold since having her own dragon would be amazing no matter what, but blue spoke to her the most and she could easily see herself atop one. Maybe that was just because she had been riding Gamalieth since she was born and Kadaisicalth since he was old enough to shuttle her butt all over the place.
Yes, a blue would be lovely. But who knew if or when that would happen. For now, simply meeting the babies was her priority and Dareji carefully made her way to one off to the side and set her hand on it, with a whispered greeting she knew wouldn’t be heard but made her feel more inviting to the dragonet.
