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!

Even though I've visited a few times now, it was still kind of weird to have my birthday in the North with my dad's family. I mean, they're my family too but... I dunno... they still don't really seem like it yet. Mom's been the only family I had for the majority of my life and then I suddenly had a dad because I blurted it out to him and now I have his siblings and his mom... Parella is more like a grandma to me than my actual grandmother is. They're pretty cool though. Except my uncle. He's... stand-offish, I guess is the best way to put it.
Luckily, Aunt Eridella is a perceptive woman and must have noticed the friction between her brothers and how I feel weird around him and dear Uncle Pendalier wasn't invited to my birthday party she threw at her Hold. That was also weird. A big party with fancy decorations, a lot of food, a large cake, and gifts just for me turning fourteen.
N'mor was there with his dad so that was pretty cool. He went exploring with me after all the pleasantries were done and the adults started chatting and my cousins went off to do their own things (they're not so bad but we're not exactly best friends). I think he had fun. I know the dragons did. Ayyonth was pretty cool with playing big brother to them. Syrendryth said Ayyonth made sure they didn't get into trouble but he also played with them and apparently showed them some tricks, which is a bit worrisome because neither one will tell me what they are.
Oh and Benden was there for a bit. Volfetti brought him down to see R'nd before politely leaving a bit later. I used to be envious of the time he got with R'nd and the attention he received but I don't think I am now. It's not that I'm happy Benden lives in the North now and I'm still in Katila with our dad but I am happy it wasn't me that was sent to live somewhere else and learn a whole new way of living. I like the Weyr life and I'm so happy I Impressed. I was told Benden can make a decision on where to live when he's twelve. That was awesome of his parents to agree to let him do that instead of locking him into a certain path. I heard that's pretty standard for the children of lords. Well, he's one of my little brothers so I'll keep watch over him and if he wants to live in a Weyr, maybe I'll see if I can get him into whichever one I'm stationed to.
But for now, I need sleep. I ate way too much and did way too much socializing. Tomorrow will be amazing if I can go without interacting with anyone so I can fully unwind. Having a large family is a lot of work.
