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!

The bronze really was angry at the boy's temper tantrum. It was one thing to become angry at someone but quite another thing to get physical and start throwing things. Even if it was only throwing foodstuffs, it was crossing the line. The boy was lucky it had happened inside; V'riy may not have wanted to discipline him, but Morith certainly would have.
V'riy, upon hearing that Faredin was J'di's son, clapped the boy on the shoulder. "Well, what a lucky young man you are, then. I have a great deal of respect for your mother, paired with a blue and being responsible for the weyrlings." And it was true, he did have a lot of respect for the woman. "She sounds like one of the few women capable of handling a fighting dragon. It's too bad there aren't more like her..."
During his time at Katila, the bronzerider had not had more than the briefest contact with the boy's mother. A female bluerider was a rare enough occurrence. From what he had heard of her, she had impeccable control of her emotions, and was a dependable and capable dragonrider. Although he had somewhat limited knowledge of the blue riders, he had concluded that J'di was probably more capable than at least half of the male ones in the Weyr. This particular opinion he had kept to himself, knowing that it would be highly unpopular with many of the other dragonriders. V'riy felt there was no harm letting the boy know he held his mother in high regard.
He looked forward to meeting J'di one-on-one, though he felt a bit embarrassed that he had to seek advice on how to discipline a child properly. He had children of his own but had had such little contact with them so far that he was at a total loss. And since he usually avoided the Weyrbrats due to his lack of skill dealing with children, he really had no idea about what kind of punishment he would be allowed to give to a misbehaving weyrbrat.
V'riy's thoughts turned back to the boy's flight on his mother's blue. The child was sure to be a Candidate eventually if he wasn't already, having a mother like J'di. And he certainly knew how to behave properly around a dragonrider, which made V'riy more comfortable talking to him. The boy had seemed quite comfortable in the air. "Tell me, how do you like flying?"
