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!

Ah, right. He had heard that M’quel had never had dreams of Impressing like nearly every other weyrbrat to ever exist. To be fair to her way of thinking, she was female and they had a lower success chance given they only had golds and a handful of greens and even less blues that would consider them. Top it off with her father losing his dragon while she was still rather young and that would likely create the perfect recipe for avoiding a dragon of her own. However, all that said, “your atypical Weyrlinghood is exactly why you’re so strong as a rider and a Healer. You have a strong bond with your dragon created out of love and determination to survive and that has also made you more in tune with the needs of your patients.”
D’hys took a moment to study M’quel, nodding in agreement that she wouldn’t be the best at fighting—which also meant no one else would expect it when she did throw a punch. Perhaps he’d still show her how to make a proper fist, putting her weight into a swing, and where the best places for her to strike would be anyway. It never hurt to have that as something to fall back on. As to her being quippy…
“You don’t have to have a snappy comeback every time. I’m thinking more along the lines of using the names of those you know. You have an arsenal of people close to you that will make people reconsider messing with you. You just need to make those connections known a bit more.” He pointed out R’nya, Rhaedalyn, T’ryn, A’tay, her dad, and even himself as people most wouldn’t consider angering. Yes, he agreed using the shiny hides to help her out wasn’t the best tactic but if a colourist was harassing her, then use colours back against them.
“For example, what do you say when someone says you're just a girl? You say, so is Weyrwoman Rhaedalyn and I'll let her know of your reminder over dinner tonight. The fact that you're just a greenrider? Say that the bronzeriders A'tay and T'ryn don't seem to mind. T'ryn is especially good to use as his dragon is mated to Telgar's Weyrwoman and there’s a lot of talk of him leading a wing when they start soon. Use your connections, Princess.”
