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'tay blushed under the fussing of the icing kiss and the excitement in general. It was just Zelly and someone he was comfortable with--mostly, and after a lot of patience and nudging from her--but he still had issues with accepting praise or most levels of attention. Becoming Weyrsecond was probably how he was going die. A few months into the role with people coming to him regularly and expecting things of him or sucking up to him and he was going to curl up in bed and never rise. Heart failure, he imagined. Shock, anxiety, stress. He wasn't ready for this job.
He managed a small smile that showed his discomfort at the continued praise and light teasing. "Just remember that the next time I start drawing charts for a presentation." Even though it had just been his half-brother, A'tay still wanted that board as a security blanket and distraction. The attention would have been on what he pointed to instead of directly on him and maybe his insecurities wouldn't have shown as much. At least K'dar was also patient with him and full of a lot of optimism.
He held his plate out again when Zelly came in for another hug and this time his smile reached his eyes and was far more genuine. He owed her so much for all the lessons given over their short time together and it was because of that time that A'tay also knew how important her brother was to her. How could he not try to find a way into Igen Weyr for Lazerat when the man didn't seem inclined to become a Candidate? Honestly, he was glad the man was willing to leave behind the established life for a lot of unknown in a fresh start. A'tay would have been devastated if Lazerat turned down the idea and crushed Zelly's hopes he had raised with the idea.
"In a month or so, K'dar wants to meet with Lazerat personally so they can go over the details of the position. But we'll be too focused on the clean-up for the next few weeks still but it will come." A'tay promised as he carefully reached over to set his plate down so he could properly return the hug and guide Zelly into giving in and lounging against him. "I bet it just ends up in bickering over where he will live. I know K'dar wants to make everyone happy and comfortable and Laz keeps saying he'd be fine with a little room in the lower caverns. I'll try to get us there for it. It'd probably be entertaining."
