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!

N'kal had risen early that day, the scheduled touching of Torath's eggs, as the bronze beast put it they were at least half his, had kept the rider up half the night. He didn't know why he was so anxious about it, he hadn't fertilized the massive clutch of eggs. He was less then cranky, but he was't quite ready for laughs, smiles, and chuckles either. When are you ever ready to laugh?, came a less then amused question from a less then happy Torath. 'Oh hush. And stop being so grouchy..it's not like you and we only have room for one grouch in this duo.', he said, attempting to lighten his bonded's mood. Torath snorted at him and said, You wouldn't be happy either, if it was you're children people would be putting their grubby hands all over.... N'kal just rolled his eyes as Torath paused in his grumpy behavior just long enough to nuzzle Okalinath when she pranced around and licked his cheek. He was so very proud of her, and proud that he had sired her clutch. N'kal felt there was far to much pride bouncing between the two dragons for his to handle.
N'kal eyed his dragon and shook his head. His children indeed. Like that was ever bound to happen. He pushed that thought from his mind, eyeing the beast from where he was curled up, not too close to the clutch, and definitly not near Krypth's, but still close enough to the gold egg that he was IMMENSELY proud to have sired. His and Okalinath's cluth was in his opinion the pride of Katila and one could easily tell his pride by the way he lay there, head held high. Yes..he was definitely overdoing it in the pride department, had N'kal been a woman he might have blushed with embarrassment much like Kahleena tended to do. If Torath was upset by Okalinath bouncing around the clutch it did not show, he knew she was excited, knew she would never harm their children. He trusted her completely, it was the humans that were to touch them he didn't trust or care much for. 'Stop it...', N'kal warned gently at his grumbly dragon. 'Everything will be fine, they will be gentle with the eggs, you will see.' Torath rumbled at him, still not convinced, as he watched Okalinath bound around her eggs, rearranging them for whatever reason, while N'kal watched her from the corner of his eye, and though he trusted her as well, he still flinched a bit every time she bounced near the eggs.
Eggs and dragons aside, hewas feeling a bit awkward at the moment, sitting there on the sands eating his morning meal with Kahleena. The girl always made his feel awkward, like if he spoke to loud or moved to fast she would break and dissolve into a fit of blushing and or tears. He took the offered stack of toast with a nod and a half smile. He took a bite of toast and a swallow of klah, he needed to be more awake for this event or he might not make it through it any more gracefully then Torath who was huffing and puffing, stopping only occasionally to watch Okalinath then went right back to being grumpy. N'kal, downed his klah and refilled the cup giving a slight sigh, eyeing the girl who had seemed to come into his life from absolutely nowhere, and didn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. She still amused him, but she didn't seem to blush quite as often as when they first met so he took that as progress toward being friends at least. Oh..considering her a friend finally?, Torath asked, suddenly amused with his rider. 'Shut up...', was all he said, shooting his dragon an icy glare over his cup as he drew in another swallow of klah to wash down another bite of his food.
He had just looked back at Kahleena to ask her something when Okalinath let out a bugle that startled his so much he nearly choked on his klah. Torath was instantly up as well..looming menacingly over the candidates as they entered while Okalinath pranced over to them, more than excited at the arrival of several of the fifty or so candidates that had been needed for the large clutch. He shifted in the sands, a low rumble of warning to those gathered as he moved his body to be sure he could see each and every one of them and his eggs. Where Kahleena ran to save the candidates from her excited dragon, N'kal got up as well, shooting the girl a grin and took off for Torath who's jaw was now parted, sharp teeth glinting in the light as another growl came from from the massive bronze. "Hey!", N'kal shouted up at him, 'Hey now! Stop that you hear me!" To which N'kal received a orange and yellow whirling glare and the snap of teeth that seemed to echo off the cavern walls. "They won't hurt them Torath. Calm down.", he said calmly, and out loud so that the candidates knew he was trying to reassure and calm the dragon, not rile him up.
Why must there be so many of them!? They better not hurt them!, he snapped his teeth again and flared his wings sending sand flying. "Enough!", N'kal had had enough of his bad behavior and meant for it to stop. Glancing around he saw Kahleena had managed to reel in Okalinath, who was rather sulky as she came toward Torath. He shielded his eyes from the upheaval of sand that occurred when Okalinath dropped beside Torath, who nuzzled her gently, his sour mood almost instantly better in the golds presence. N'kal narrowed his eyes at both of them, then turned and headed back across the sands, his dark eyes still narrowed slightly as the candidates were instructed on what to do. He came to stop by Kahleena, sighing a bit and trying not to appear quite as savage as the unhappy dragon he was bonded too. He also didn't want to upset Kahleena, then the irony of that thought struck him as he looked over at his dragon and Okalinath, then looked down at Kahleena. Both of them, beasts tamed by females. He rubbed a hand over his face, shaking his head at that. After a moment he spoke quietly to Kahleena. "Are we going to survive this?", nodding toward the pair of dragons, one annoyed one sulking, with a bit of a grin.
