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!

A message from the assistant on duty was a welcome distraction. A’ryn wiped her oily hands on a cloth and checked to make sure her precious green was comfortable before heading outside. It had been far too long since she’d talked to anyone other than a fellow classmate or the weyrlingmaster or assistant, and word of D’nei wanting to swing by was met with a grateful smile.
“Dnei! So good to see you!” A’ryn bounced on her toes, nearly about to throw an excited hug around the blue rider, sending Rudi launching into the air above her. The redhead hesitated, though, at D’nei’s worried demeanor, dropping her arms to her side instead as she took in the drawn expression. Her brown chittered excitedly before settling on her shoulder once again as she waited, brow furrowed, listening to the young man.
“No, I’ve got time. Jen’s down for a nap after her last meal, and I’ve got a little while at least before she wakes again.” Her expression flowed between excitement, joy, and worry, settling into a half smile oddly paired with a furrowed brow as he pulled a tiny, squalling firelizard from his jacket. A most unusual pattern, the creature looked completely white at a glance, but when he stopped writhing splotches of blue across his neck, nose, and a few on his wings were easily made out. Other than most of the color in his hide, he seemed to be missing some other color, too, and she noticed it as the words came from the blue rider. The creature’s eyes were completely white.
Her own eyes widened in wonder at the little thing, and shooing Rudi to take a perch on a bench close by, she bent to get a closer look at the creature wrapped around D'nei's arm. “No…no, fire lizards are much like dragons in that…whirling eyes, red with hunger at hatching. They work well right from the shell, they have to, as they have to be able to fly away to find food if there isn’t any being offered to them when they break shell…Good job getting him fed, for sure…”
“Hang on, I want to try something…see if he responds to movement or sound…” As quietly as possible, she waved a hand to one side, nodding to herself when the creature didn’t seem to notice, and then, the other hand behind her back so the movement wouldn’t be a factor, snapped her fingers. Watching as it drew a reaction. “I—I don’t think he can see…”
