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!

As the minutes ticked by, R’nd realised he still wasn’t very good at handling someone crying but he felt his holding skills and staying silent skills had improved by several points. He didn’t tell T’bia to hush in gentle tones nor did he whisper promises that everything would be okay. He simply held his friend and waited. When T’bia finally pulled away and tried to compose himself, R’nd let go and pretended to fiddle with a boot lace to give the illusion of privacy while tears were wiped away and voice found.
As suspected, the issue was about Flights and how Jycenth had yet to show interest. It took a moment to sort through the way the confession had been worded but R’nd was glad he knew the boy enough to know his way of speaking and thinking. He’d hate to make T’bia try to explain again when he was already so distraught.
Taking a moment, R’nd thought about how to explain that Jycenth was fine and nothing at all was wrong. It had to be hard to have a subdued dragon when so many others chased if a green so much as flinched. It likely also didn’t help that his mentor was one of the bigger playboys in the Weyr as well. “T’bia, you really don’t have anything to worry about. There are a few reasons why a dragon might not give chase and none of them have anything to do with being broken by anyone, especially their rider.”
R’nd paused for a moment but decided to list everything all at once and field questions afterward. They’d no doubt end up getting lost in questions and other fears before either of them remembered what else he wanted to say if gave too many openings. “Sometimes a dragon’s needs aren’t that… needy. They might not need to chase as often as others but that’s still natural. Sometimes a dragon doesn’t want to chase multiple greens because he’s interested in only one. You know how Larrikith and Ayyonth are. He only chases her unless they’re playing their own twisted games,” R’nd scowled a bit as he mentioned the games his dragon liked to play and Ayyonth laughed in the back of his mind before being quickly shoved aside again.
“The last reason Jycenth might not want to give chase yet is, and it isn’t your fault, okay?” R’nd took a breath and knew T’bia wouldn’t like it and would still blame himself. “Green and gold dragons only rise when their riders are sexually ready. If they Impressed at a very young age, the dragon will make sure the rider is ready for what a Flight brings. Male dragons are the same way. Jycenth wouldn’t want you thrown into a situation you’re not ready for. You look out for each other, right?”
