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!

Zelly was such a mystery to him. Mystery? Maybe more that she just left him confused. It wasn’t even like he didn’t know other people like her. He had a sister that was very much like the girl currently diving into the water. But A’tay couldn’t help but think running head long into the unknown was how Zelly approached everything in life. She didn’t seem to have any fear or reservations about what was before her. He wished he could be like that but even the idea of running toward the water as free as she was now scared him and had him strolling up the water instead.
“I’m fine with being boring over here,” he pointed out while taking a few steps into the water and letting it lap just above his ankles. It was cool but nice. He was a Katila baby and loved the heat of summer and the sun-warmed lake that they left behind but there was something rejuvenating about the jolt of cold that hit with cold water. “Boring is safe and I really don’t mean to offend you since you’ve been so nice, but I’ve only known you about an hour and I don’t want to put my life in your hands just yet.”
He paused as he gave a shy grin, “maybe tomorrow, though.” There was no way he would start up any level of swimming lessons the following day as he would need a lot of time to mentally get to the physical portion but he figured he could try to friendly, fun, and not a boring boy with such a comment. He let his toes dig into the mud and strolled up and back down the water’s edge while Zelly did her laps. He felt a bit bad for not trying to go in further but she didn’t seem to mind and only gave a light splash of water in his direction as she got out.
He shivered as the cool drops hit his chest but he laughed and sent his own splash back before dashing out of the water. “I’ll grab our clothes since I’m a bit drier than you. Then we’ll head that way for Xyxyth,” he pointed in the direction and went to grab their items, carefully stacking them so nothing in pockets fell out.
Xyxyth landed down a stretch from where they came and he crooned in greeting to the new friend. “That big lump is Xyxyth. He’s rather friendly and if you let him, he’ll talk your ear off. I’m afraid you two will be good friends and team up against me to be perfectly honest.” Laughing, A’tay set their clothing down on a log and went over and gave his dragon’s neck an affectionate pat and waved Zelly in so she could get in on the pats.
