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!

Vaera spun around when she heard her name, taking in the girl approaching her for a moment before the name came to her. “Kaiza! Hello, it’s a pleasure to see you again,” she said, clasping her hands in front of her waist. “I was looking to go to the Weyr Bowl, but I’ve realized I don’t know the way. If you don’t mind, I mean, you said you’re free and while I’m sure I would find the way eventually it would be faster if you were to—well, it doesn’t have to be the Bowl, really, I just thought it would be a good place to start since I haven’t been to Benden before, but if you know a better place you could take me there instead—um, if you want to.” Vaera trailed off, mortified at how much she was rambling, and a blush spread across her face.
She was usually a lot more composed than this, but Kaiza had surprised her a little. Vaera could be calm and in control in classes, and with other Healers—she had to be, for anyone to take her even a little bit seriously as a woman of her age trying to be a Healer. Even Tovas, who often borrowed her as something of his own personal apprentice, was only doing it to gain favor and access to her father. Which meant that Vaera had to be perfect when dealing with him and her other teachers.
And then, when any girl roughly her age spoke to her Vaera felt like she lost every ounce of poise she possessed. Especially if they smiled at her. She’d developed something of an immunity to Madiquel over their friendship—she was less blushy and tongue tied whenever her friend smiled, though it still snuck up on her sometimes.
Vaera just really, really hoped Kaiza didn’t think she sounded stupid. There was no reason she had to impress Kaiza, not really, not like the male Healers who had influence in her life path, but Vaera wanted to impress her, or at least not make Kaiza think she was a complete waste of her time. She twisted her hands restlessly and tried to will the blush to recede from her face.
