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!

After watching to make sure the young man was settled in and had his warmup ride, Cazan guided the mare through the gate with a lazy trot. It had been a while since she'd taken the road out of the Weyr for any reason, but she was reasonably sure she wouldn't get lost. After checking back to make sure the gate was closed she gave a soft click of her tongue before nudging the horse onward at an easy canter.
She slowed down a bit once they got out of the Weyr and into the rocky trails, waiting for the stable boy to catch up so he could lead the way. "I don't know these trails very well, hopefully your or the horses do." With as long as she'd been in Telgar she felt she probably should know them a bit better though, but between the murders, the twins, and Malvayth on top of her work she hadn't really found the time to go exploring on the ground. Cazan was much more used to looking at the mountains from above. Maybe she'd actually take K'dar up on his constant offers to take everyone fishing. "I haven't been able to go riding in quite some time. I even had to give up my horse, Sprink. She's a pretty girl, hopefully she manages to have some foals who are just as pretty."
For now though she gave the mare she was riding another fond pat as they made their way along the trails. Riding dragons hadn't spoiled her enjoyment of horses it seemed and she was quite enjoying the ride as she chatted idly with her silent companion. "Maybe one day I'll be able to get the twins on a horse, see how they handle it. They're still too young right now, but if K'dar can go on and on about how he has already made them tiny fishing poles then I'm allowed to think about them one day riding horses. Your little friend is adorable, I'd offer to introduce mine but if I call for Lady then Sir will also come since they're lounging together and... well he's a good boy, but not particularly friendly."
It was certainly an understatement, but she loved her grumpy little bronze and knew he usually had good intentions. "Oh that and he'd probably end up spooking the horses." Of course that thought happened right as the gold dragon began to stir from her nap and suddenly Malvayth was wide awake.Where are you? Her voice held a touch of screech at the edges of it that made Cazan stop the horse. "Oh no..." I'm just spending some time with a new friend. IS YOUR NEW FRIEND HORSES?! An annoyed screech echoed from the Weyr as the gold launched her rotund form into the sky to go intercept her rider and the treacherous horses she was with.
"Fuck." Cazan certainly did not expect the gold to be flying with how full of eggs she was, but soon enough she was having to focus her attention on the skittering and prancing horse as the gold landed nearby, eyes swirling red with rage. "Mal! Mal calm down! If you scare the horses someone could get hurt! And what are you even doing?! You need to go back and go rest on the sands!" The gold dragon glowered down at the horses, eyes narrowed for a moment until she realized there was someone else with Cazan, sitting on the second horse.You don't look like a horse! Who are you? In an instant her voice had settled to sweet curiosity as she studied the boy.
"Malvayth, please, this is the boy who S'far brought from his camping trip. Remember he was telling us about it at his fitting? If you don't go back we'll get in trouble and be grounded to the Sands again. Do you want that?" Cazan normally tried to keep her conversations with the dragon quiet, but she figured speaking aloud would make it easier for her mute friend to both keep up and also be aware of what was going on. There was a wave of annoyance from the gold that she didn't bother to filter to only her rider, setting the horses to nervously prancing again.You don't need to ride horses. You have me. "You shouldn't be flying right now-" You can both fit on me at the same time while I walk. Malvayth sent the words to both of them, her voice obviously hurt. She couldn't believe her rider would think riding something else was more fun! Cazan sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Fine... you go back to the Weyr, we have to take the horses back and then we'll go straight to visit you okay?"
Mal let out a cheery chirp and relaunched herself into the air to go wait. Cazan sighed and reached down to pat and soothe the mare before turning her to head back. "Well, we better go before she goes off again. Sorry about that... I hope you don't mind a surprise dragon ride."
