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!

Aparicus remained slightly to the side of the candidate group, closer to the bramble of gold candidates but still not fully part of them. She needed that space, even now. She was learning to trust people; so many seemed to have learned through rumors that she didn’t like to be touched and it has only proven to make her more comfortable around them. There were less accidental bumping every month and it just seemed to be becoming second nature to give the woman a bit of a berth.
Waiting patiently nearby, she smiled at each gold candidate as they touched the egg and came off the sands, more often than not with a look of slight wonder. How many golden eggs have the older, northern girls touched now? Apari could figure it out if she took the time to count, but a number wasn’t on the top of her mind.
There was a brief lull between girls as she watched the young Casa come off the sands. She had mixed feelings with the girl standing at such a young age. A dash of pride and encouragement for the girl to follow her dreams, but at the same time a bit of fear for the girls safety. Aparicus had seen the way some gold riders came out after a flight, carefully hiding bruises and marks. Especially Krypth’s maiden flight. She would never wish that on a girl so young.
Ah, it made her wonder if her own blanket of safety that seemed to have settled around her here at the southern weyr would be ripped away should she finally impress a little gold queen. The thought of being bound to a dragon was exciting and terrifying. She could honestly say that she’d happily live out the rest of her days should she never impress. At the same time she couldn’t help but wonder how it would feel to fly above the rest of the world under her own power instead of being forced to sit so closely to another person.
Taking her turn, she stepped forward and placed a slender hand full of gnarled fingers upon the little queen’s egg.
