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!

Madiquel was having possibly the best time ever, and cheerfully – if with a great deal of exhaustion – followed A’tay when he led her back off the dancefloor what felt like hours (and just moments) later. Madiquel slumped on a seat, feeling her feet throbbing and she swung them, hoping that would alleviate some of the rumbling pain; she’d learned the basics for actually caring for overworked feet, of course, but it wasn’t like she could jump in a bath right then!
“Food sounds fantastic!” Madiquel said brightly, before her expression fell and she frowned at the reminder of A’tay’s curfew. “I guess,” she said, frowning sadly as she took his hand, curling her fingers through his, and brushing her thumb absently over the scar she could feel on the back of his hand. “That’s true!” She brightened visibly, looking up at A’tay with a teasing smile. “And then you can take me wherever I want to go.” She stuck her tongue out, playful. They both knew she could go anywhere on Pern she wanted, just by asking R’nya or Rhaedalyn or anyone of the older-young-riders, like T’ryn. Getting away without her Papa getting upset was another story, but Madiquel wasn’t thinking about that at the moment.
Finding a vendor with food they both liked the look of, Madiquel excitedly ordered her own dinner, the tender wrapping it up for them and Madiquel took the items, dropping her share of the required marks into the man’s hand along with A’tay’s. Food in arms, Madiquel let A’tay carry the drinks as he led the way to his dragon. Madiquel grinned as he directed her, finding it enchanting the way riders always seemed to know exactly where their beast was. She supposed Xyxyth could have told A’tay precisely where he was located, but that wasn’t nearly as mystical as A’tay just knowing.
Madiquel squealed when she saw Xyxyth again, and clinging to the food, she bound past A’tay and over to Xyxyth. It felt like a life time since she’d last seen the young bronze (excluding earlier that day), and certainly he hadn’t been that big, she decided, as she put the package of food down carefully! Madiquel circled Xyxyth, running her hands over his hide (that she could reach) and ducking under his belly and tail as she zigzagged, oohing and aahing over him as she went. While she'd greeted the bronze that morning, she hadn't really examined him; it really did feel like she hadn't seen him at all! How rude of her!
“You got so big!” she squealed, coming to a stop at his lowered nose so she could give him a hug, nuzzling her face against his cheek. “We have to go flying!” She said, her tone begging, and while her words unintentionally implied ‘now! Food be damned!’ she actually meant once the pair had graduated. Beaming as she bounced backwards, Madiquel excitedly gestured for Xyxyth to spread his wings (flapping her own arms wordlessly as she struggled to find the words she wanted), gasping when he did so, eyes huge. “Oh goodness,” she moaned, absolutely enchanted. “You’re so gorgeous, Xy!” spinning around, Madiquel flung her arms around A’tay’s waist and gave him a tight hug. “He’s perfect!”
