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!

Gabrin had left for court earlier in the day, taking his pregnant wife along with him and leaving Ekshan to peruse the household records. Gabrin seemed to find the job mundane and Ekshan was glad to provide yet another service under the guise of assistant. It was a big step up from digging out weeds and stones out of the dirt, and he was eager to prove himself useful. He wanted to put his former life behind him and focusing his attention on such things as the books seemed a good place to start. He wasn't entirely sure why Gabrin had taken him in, though he was grateful he had. His new quarters were simple but luxurious when compared to broom closet his old room had been. His patched and strained clothes had been replaced with items more fitting for an assistant. He'd fantasied about wearing such things, but had never thought he actually would. He'd discarded the old for the new with barely a backward glance.
He wasn't sure how long Gabrin would be away, it would all depend on how soon he grew bored of the current company. Ekshan would never admit to waiting up for him, but he usually found some reason to. Rather than spend the time with idle pursuits he set to polishing the boots he wore when Gabrin required his presence at social functions. He rubbed the polish into the dark leather, using the cloth to buff a shine into the leather.
It wasn't right that the man should be so damn capable of slipping about unheard, but Ekshan continued to polish the side of a boot with just a fraction of a pause when Gabrin spoke. He bit the tip of his tongue between his teeth at his nickname and scowled down at his boot. He knew it was used to provoke him and was annoyed by the fact that it worked despite his efforts to ignore the pet name.
Ekshan made a show of setting the boot beside the one he'd finished while waiting, wiping his hands with a clean rag before turning slightly in his seat to face Gabrin. If he was going to keep calling him Ekkie then he wasn't going to rush to give the man his attention. "And what news might that be m'lord." He finally asked, wondering just what Gabrin thought would interest him.
