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 hadn’t thought he asked a tough question but watching T’bia squirm and turn various shades of red and seem to struggle with an internal battle made him correct that. He felt rather bad for saying anything and was about to comfort the boy and assure him he didn’t have to answer and change the topic entirely. It was obvious T’bia didn’t want to discuss such a thing with him and R’nd was starting to realise that while he may have been picking up on how to be a teacher and never had any qualms with assisting in sexual education when it came down to a hands on approach, he really wasn’t the right person to deal with budding hormones and practical dating advice.
The faint reply in the positive was almost missed from his own inner debate and attempt at beginning to say something else but catch it he did and R’nd paused again with a crooked smile showing. He wanted to encourage T’bia to approach the person he liked but hesitated, still a little worried over making his friend even more uncomfortable. Given the timid nature of T’bia, R’nd was surprised he had lasted as long as he had without trying to hide under the water or run away. It actually made the older bluerider want to protect and assist T’bia all the more but that only left him going around in circles as he tried to figure out how to do so with his lack of skills in subtlety. The hardest thing to remember was T’bia was younger and inexperienced. R’nd really didn’t have much to draw on from his own time at that age since he was in exile with one bluerider who had tended to all of his training in a variety of areas.
“I think life would be a bit dull if we didn’t have someone to admire whether from up close or afar,” R’nd started his attempt at calming T’bia down and once again point out there wasn’t anything to be ashamed of. He had no idea if he was on the right track but it had to be better than sitting in silence. “There’s something wonderful about the way that person can make you smile or catch your breath.” Though, he supposed, not so much when that person didn’t really notice the admiration or had someone else they were with. That could sting but at the same time, R’nd stuck by his stance that it still felt nice to have that light to look towards, especially on a bad day where a smile was needed.
“Something no one knows is,” R’nd gave a little look around them to give the illusion that he was worried someone would overhear the secret he wanted to impart only to T’bia and then leaned in a bit closer to his friend to whisper, “I wasn’t much older than you when Katila was established and I got my first glimpse of B’jin. I harboured a bit of a crush on him from that moment on and winning that first flight with him blew my mind. Kerrin found me utterly intolerable for days.” He laughed lightly as he leaned back again, shaking his head at the memory of how cranky Kerrin had been while he himself had been living in bliss.
“But really, other than with B’jin, I’ve always told someone when I admired them and I think you shouldn’t be afraid to tell the person you like either. Are they a friend? I bet they feel the same way.” T’bia was a great kid; how could anyone not like him? Sure, he had his quirks, but who didn’t? They helped build the man T’bia was and R’nd enjoyed spending time with him because of those unique traits and views on things and he couldn’t believe he was the only one to think that way.
