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!

She nearly softened her words when his face hardened, tensing a bit and realizing her dragon was crooning to her. I'm fine.
Liar. Shanith's words held no censure, just quiet humor and R'ana looked down to hide the inappropriate smile.
She did listen, flinching. He had to be kidding. She nearly told him not to worry about Tsuen, then stopped.
The only gold rider on Pern. For nearly ten years. She stilled, her eyes locked forward. Ten years of being the hope of the weyr, of all Pern, really, with your dragon not rising to mate. Of whispers, rebellion and outright attempts on your life. Of fear and distrust. And when Nirinath does rise, a gold to replace her. One that rises often, with a young rider. Tsuen had to be feeling...in a way used and so very betrayed. Even the best of women would have snapped under the pressure.
And Tsuen could only depend on D'ren. Out of everyone, only a few had tried to shield her and help her. She bit her lip, unhappy with her thoughts. Shards, the weyr owed her better than this.
She looked to D'ren, her eyes thoughtful, the look showing she didn't like the conclusions she had reached. She spoke quietly, eyes looking around, trying to make sure she wasn't overheard. "I hate politics. You know that? S'kef or M'bal, that's the choice right now." She leaned forward. "I fear those in power. It twists people, even the good ones. But...I can try and help Tsuen."
She looked up, then at him. "I know someone, he works with canines. One of them had a litter with a few very small puppies. He can probably train one of them to detect poisons and redfruit, and give the pup to Tsuen. He said he was going to settle a few of the pups in places where they will be viewed as more than tools anyhow." Terken was going to yell when he heard he was volunteered for this. Oh well. "And I can try and befriend her, though I don't know if it will work. But she is owed more than this."
She wanted to shake him for making her realize that. She was happier seeing Tsuen as a symbol to fear, because if she was human, then so was everyone else at the top. Faranth help her.
