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!

T'ryn had never been the quickest at skinning no matter how many times he had been told it worked better to move with more speed. He had to make sure it was done with as clean of strokes as he could manage and with minimal tearing. Considering this would be for Cazan's work, he definitely didn't want to produce something she couldn't use or would be embarrassed to have amongst her supplies. It was also a good way to focus and let all of his emotions drain away with each stroke of the blade. He should apologise. No you should not. Whether he should or not, he wasn't ready to voice the words.
By the time he finished, Chironhes was finishing up a second one and moving to the river with the hides. The boy had that mysterious speed he was supposed to find but T'ryn also knew that came with a lot more practice and even confidence. He wasn't too sure about getting in more practice with skinning, but T'ryn did think he'd try to get in a bit more time at the range to keep up his archery skills. Brushing off the dust and relying on luck would only carry him to success so many times before it failed hard.
And then K'dar mentioned bones and T'ryn gave him an odd look. Why would people want to put skulls on their wall? He didn't have a wind chime from T'cai but he did see that they could be multipurpose like giving an audio cue for how windy it was as well as being some form of music on top of just being decoration. Maybe a skull could be used to hang a jacket on? It was still weird and T'ryn didn't think he'd want one in the weyr since the twins would either be afraid of it or try to get to it. But if K'dar wanted the constant reminder of the day he punched a feline, he wouldn't stop him. Maybe it would remind them all to be more vigilant in their hunting.
He let the others deal with the carcasses since they both seemed so eager to do the tasks as he scanned their surroundings. When K'dar announced he'd take over while they cleaned up, T'ryn did a quick scrub at his hands and arms and called it done. He didn't need to take a bath in the river, perhaps a bonus to being slow and precise. But as he was tossing a shirt back on, he watched Chironhes with a curious expression until he realised what the boy was doing and frowned. At least Syrendryth had decided not to escalate things further by flat out ignoring the offering but gave a small shake of his head before looking back at the jungle.
"It's not personal," not entirely, at least. "Syrendryth prefers to provide for himself. But thank you for the gesture," T'ryn added, hoping to keep the peace and not upset Chironhes. He means well.I am aware. But it does not excuse the earlier issues. I'm just as much at fault, T'ryn pointed out, now that he was a bit calmer but still extremely ready to go home. He normally hunted with just N'mor and that hadn't happened in over a year, but it had been even longer since he'd gone out with K'dar. He was out of practice, K'dar was still recovering and extra paranoid, and it was obvious Chironhes was used to hunting alone. This was an ill-conceived trip that would have benefited from a lot more discussion.
"You two do what you need to do. I'll take up the watch." T'ryn announced as he slipped his quiver back on and grabbed his bow. He walked a few lengths down from Syrendryth to continue watching. He knew they were being overly cautious now but it didn't bother him after the encounters they had. And to make sure the others didn't think he was trying to get out of working on the meat and packing everything, he grinned as he called over his shoulder, "better shot, remember!"
