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!

Jada nodded as Valerian rejected her offer of assistance and looked to the first of the doors that she would need to open for him. They weren't heavy, but she'd piled his harms high with little things that he would be able to use for his craft. There were people that they would pass, and how would he be able to greet them properly if he were so loaded down with supplies? Ah well, it was only his first day in the Weyr; there would be many more days to come, and he may as well take his time. Goodness knew she had, still sulking even after they deemed her 'safe' to come to the Weyr proper. Melodramatics had been quite common through the first sevenday, but finding herself ignored had put a quick stop to that.
The women smiled, tucking a strand of hair behind her hair, remembering the Flight vividly. "She glowed, Valerian." if her tone was reverent, she didn't recognize it as such. "Admittedly I could have done without the side-effects, but I wasn't the only one avoiding them." Her name on his tongue stopped her, and she blinked at the other Harper, curious. Was he going to- oh. She grinned, then paused. Had she ever heard him say her name before? Had he even known her name? Litir had always called her "J" so it was entirely possible that her little joke had been cruel, and he'd legitimately been at a loss. Oh well, too late now!
Valerian turned, moving for the door and Jada stepped after him, intending to pass around him in order to get to the first of the barriers that he would be unable to pass without her assistance. But she almost ran into his back- broader than she remembered, now that she was standing so close to him without cheek-pinching in the way. Still lithe, not muscle-bound. She smiled when he spoke of her brother, then laughed. "Litir never let me have any friends once I became a formal apprentice." she kept her tone light. "I think he was a little jealous of the fact that I could sing soprano and he couldn't." Either that or he was among the first to notice when she hit puberty.
Then again, older brothers always were.
"I was on my way home when I was taken." she admitted, and felt her lips tremble. She missed her family very much. She wished she had gotten to see her family, so that there wasn't this unfinished feeling. "I was being called back. They just told me they needed me. I was afraid something was wrong with mother or Litir, so I'm glad that they seemed alright." He turned, and she hopped back a step to avoid being nose-to-nose with him. "Thank you for letting me know." His hands were full, so she took advantage of the fact to lean up and in, pressing her lips firmly and briefly to his cheek. "I mean it."
She could feel her eyes threatening to fill up, so she moved past him and pulled open the first door. "After you."
