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!

R’nd was pretty sure that was his heart breaking that he felt as he successfully acquired the knots and began attaching them to his favourite pupil. He hadn’t meant to scare the boy or upset him! In fact, R’nd thought they had gotten over the shock T’bia seemed to have every time R’nd appeared or made a sudden movement. Then again, R’nd thought he had toned down the sudden movements so the misunderstandings would vanish. He was such a bully to the poor kid!
Before an apology could come, R’nd found himself hugging T’bia as the boy clung to him. There wasn’t even a pause to consider what had happened or what he should do as arms wrapped instinctively around the sensitive young man. This wasn’t entirely uncommon given T’bia’s weyrlinghood being filled with tough moments that needed consoling as well as joyous ones that needed celebrating. They both had a habit of being touchy-feely in entirely innocent ways and the current moment was no different. He had upset T’bia and the young bluerider needed a moment to compose himself and reassure himself and R’nd was more than willing to give him all the time that was needed.
“I’m sorry, T’bia. I only wanted to see you wearing the knots to prove you would look as amazing as I always knew you would with them on.” That hadn’t always been the case. Early on, R’nd wasn’t sure the young blue pair would make it a month with their bumbling ways and the headache they sometimes caused him but they worked hard together and had so much to prove to themselves and others. It had all paid off and R’nd wanted to show off T’bia’s hard work and accomplishments to the world.
The smile was returned and R’nd let his young friend poke at his food and act like nothing was wrong for several seconds before he gave T’bia a light nudge on the arm. “I’m so proud of you, T’bia; and of Jycenth, of course. So is Ayyonth. So much so, that I’ve asked B’jin to recommend you to the wing I’m in.” R’nd’s smile grew larger at his surprise. Since he wasn’t an official assistant, he was still a member of a wing and had to attend practices regularly. There wasn’t a guarantee they would be placed together but given T’bia’s reputation and how closely R’nd had worked with him to get him to survive weyrlinghood, it only seemed logical to keep them together a little longer. He wouldn’t always be there to guide T’bia and be a safety net but R’nd wanted to be there a little longer anyway.
