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!

Verec raised an eyebrow at R’nya’s words. Negotiate a proposition, hmm? Interesting. What could the dragonriders want from the Healers today. It was hard to guess, though he could almost guarantee it would be an inconvenience for him and the Hall. Well, it was worth hearing out at least.
Bringing up that particular Hatching wasn’t a promising way to start. Verec was still rather vexed over the whole situation; losing a Healer was terrible, though he supposed at least the boy wasn’t dead. Not that it really mattered either way, Impressed or dead, as it still kept the young man from continuing as a Healer.
He snorted quietly at the suggestion the other Weyrleaders wouldn’t want Healers at their Hatchings. Of course they still want Healers at their Hatchings. It’s in their best interest to reduce the amount of death and injury resulting from them if they want to continue Searching holders. Which Verec understood, of course, they needed new people for dragons to Impress, more than even their prodigious…breeding could produce. But having damage control for injuries was necessary to keep holders allowing their children go to Weyrs. So Verec had no illusions about whether or not all the Weyrs needed them. It’s not like they were going to deny healing to them, that’s not how the Healer Hall worked. Even if Verec would love to tell most of the dragonriders to fuck right off.
Even so, the offer to provide compensation for lost Healers was intriguing. The extra funds could be used to get better supplies or reduce tuition costs for especially promising Healers who did not necessarily have the money to pay for a full education. Of course, not losing Healers in the first place would be best. Verec was working on that though. Still, he noted down the amounts R’nya cited and the conditions, making sure he had it all written down, just in case.
The ‘further proposition’ was also interesting, but if the dragonrider didn’t think he would like it, Verec was almost positive he’d hate it. Though really, what did dragonriders know about what Healers thought? Except the ones that had been Healers before Impressing, and that thought just made him grumpy again.
“And what is this exchange I will not be liking?” Verec asked, holding his pen over the paper ready to note down whatever distasteful thing R’nya would be saying next.
