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!

Arddra folded the rejected tunic and placed it back on the shelf then found another, not much smaller in overall size but the cut was more tapered. There will come a time when these will be too tight across the chest for Casa, or so Arddra felt but for now it should fit her better. "If it's still too lose, you can always tuck it into the top of your trousers and secure with a belt. The sleeves can be tied off too. Loose and flowing sleeves and hems does allow breezes to help cool your body."
"I enjoy wearing dresses and lady clothing," Arddra smiled. "I was the youngest girl and very carefree and wore many dresses which my other felt was what all girls should wear. I am not Weyrborn so I don't know how things are like being raised in a creche, my mother wouldn't let me wear trousers unless riding. My father was a beastcrafter so he did tend to runnerbeasts and such for Fort Hold. I never liked riding side saddle, like some of Fort's richer Ladies would do. I thought it was silly and in truth, it's not easy to stay seated on a runnerbeast in such a posture."
"I don't have fancy dressed like I used to have, definitely not like my wedding gown. It was my mother's, tailored to fit me of course but I felt very beautiful and special in it." Arddra smiled at the memory then quickly pushed it away. Thinking about her marriage, despite how happy she had been, had it's own load of pain. "The dresses and skirts here are mostly very simple, we don't have the masterweavers and dressmakers in Katila like we had in Fort. The Gathers there were truly wondrous. You can find cloth traded from one end of the north to the other and such vibrant colors. Not that I could have afforded the most beautiful dresses or cloths but it was nice to browse through them."
"I wear dresses because I am a woman and these simple gowns are convenient in many ways. They are also cooler on the legs here." Arddra smiled. One of the reasons she still wore skirts and dresses when not doing certain chores was because it was cooler on the legs. "Trousers are more useful for the rougher chores and well, riding."
"If you like Casa, I can find you a nice dress or skirt and blouse and fix up your hair. Even short there are things we can do with it to enhance your natural beauty." Arddra smiled thinking she may not have had much mother/daughter time being raised among the many children born to dragonriders and weyrfolk. Out of all the differences between Hold life and Weyrlife Arddra learned, the fact children were shunting off by many to the creche to be raised by strangers was the worse. The pain of losing a father or mother may be seen good to avoid during a Pass but to totally remove parents from a child's life, was just cruel. "I have a feeling you didn't get too many lessons on being a women in the creche."
