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!

"It's a good thing all dragons are small to start otherwise I would not be able to take care of one as big as Morith much less a gold." Arddra knew in time she will adjust to the work and would have no trouble cleaning an entire dragon as often as they needed it. She tossed down her brush and took his hand, carefully sliding down into V'riy's arms.
As rubbery as her arms felt her grip upon V'riy to ensure she didn't slip free was firm. Not too tight as she wasn't afraid of the water just not a strong swimmer. Once again she was very much aware of his closeness and found she liked it far more than she felt uncomfortable being close to the dragonrider.
Once back on shore Arddra laughed when Morith nudged her. She turned and rubbed his muzzle in affection. "You are most welcome Morith, I enjoyed brushing you as much as you did."
Her arms ached but she didn't regret a single moment scrubbing Morith. It was good honest work as far as she was concerned. The need to clean one's dragon on a regular basis certainly explained how deep the bond was between rider and dragon even without the special connection forged at the dragon's hatching.
"I will be here when you get back," Arrdra assured him, smiling. "After all that work I am quite hungry too."
Once V'riy mounted up and Morith took them into the air, Arddra turned away to shield her eyes from the debris blown up by his wings. She walked over to where she left a towel she brought from her room and used it to dry off as much as she could. If she had thought about it ahead of time she would have brought a change of clothing. Not that she felt comfortable changing out in the open but right now there wasn't anybody around to see her. Fortunately her hair wasn't all that wet so it was just her clothing she couldn't dry at this moment.
It wasn't long before she saw the bronze return, landing a little ways away so as not to bury her with sand. Arddra had sat down by this point and found she felt quite tired but hungry too. She smiled as V'riy jogged up to her and laid down the food he had brought.
"There is more than enough here I like to eat," Arddra assured him. "Thank you V'riy." She picked up the plate he slid over and started adding a few things while he ran back to Morith to fetch something else. She was very tempted to have one of the bubbly pies first, Arddra liked pastries. Chuckling she decided to eat at least one meatroll and some vegetables before having a pie.
"Out of all the people taken from the north against their will, you would think somebody would have snatched up somebody in the wine making craft." Arddra joked when presented with a choice of wine or water. "I best have juice, wine is likely to put me right to sleep."
Once V'riy poured her a glass of juice Arddra accepted it with thanks. Taking a sip she savored the cool drink as it went down her throat. It was quite refreshing.
"V'riy, can I ask you a rather sensitive question?" Arddra said after she finished off a tuber. "I remember you told me about not approving with all the decisions of our leaders here, I was wondering, do you want to go back north?"
