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!

It was one of their quieter nights in as they drank wine and enjoyed each other's company in both companionable silence or with stories from the past or what they thought life in Benden would be like. The hour wasn't exactly late for them and Z'rin felt the shift in the air around them when N'mor turned to him during one of those silent moments. It seemed like they would be heading to bed soon but he had a feeling sleep wouldn't be on the menu just yet. In fact, he was certain he was on the menu with the intensity of that gaze on him.
They were just getting warmed up when they both froze, alerted by their dragons to a visitor. Z'rin frowned, wondering who would stop by via dragon at that hour and worried it was something serious. He braced for the worst news he could think of--one of their family members sick or injured--and nearly laughed when he saw Tala and heard the news of the Hatching. He didn't know why a firelizard couldn't be given the task but he supposed N'mor being the rider of the clutch's sire meant special privileges.
"Go get ready," Z'rin laughed again as N'mor leaned back in to continue on after Tala left. "You shouldn't be late and we can celebrate what will be an excellent Hatching when we get back." Z'rin knew he was more excited about the Hatching than N'mor was but he couldn't help it. He was the bronzerider's biggest supporter and he was so proud of the win and not at all worried or jealous that it seemed like Rhezalth might like Iliyth after winning both of her Flights. He was mated to a bronzerider and it seemed like bronze dragons were designed to mate with gold dragons, it was just the way of things. Besides, N'mor held no attraction to women so there wasn't anything to fear.
After N'mor left, Z'rin tidied up. He finished off his glass of wine and then washed the glasses in the bucket of soapy water that he had replaced that morning. The blanket was folded and draped back over the couch before going to gear up Varralath. He was just finishing up that task when he heard the knocking at the hall door. Another late night visitor may have been odd if he wasn't already aware of the Hatching. Someone likely coming to make sure N'mor was aware had been his guess but he found himself to be wrong when Mylorah stood there, smiling bright as he welcomed her inside.
She mentioned her fears of Impressing in the stands but her love of her friends was stronger and it was so last minute that she didn't have a ride. Z'rin couldn't say no, even if she hadn't wanted to come for N'mor and the others. She could have simply asked for a ride to see her weyrling friends and he still would have gladly helped her out but it warmed his N'mor fanboy heart that she was going as support.
They chatted about this and that as they sat in the stands, both doing their best not to embarrass N'mor with waving frantically at him though they both joked about it and what his reaction would be like. When T'ryn arrived, the teasing turned to him and Z'rin found it rather interesting what the reason was that brought Mylorah to his door. So T'ryn had a new lover, eh?
He may not have been jealous or worried about Helyna stealing his mate but Z'rin did have secret fears about T'ryn. He wasn't blind or stupid no matter what his difficulty in reading may have shown. The two bronzeriders had a tight friendship that sometimes Z'rin felt would have become more if they had the chance. Sometimes he wondered if he got in the way of that but he had also seen how T'ryn looked at Casa in the past and Cazan at the Hatching before and after she accidentally Impressed and Z'rin didn't think T'ryn was interested in men. It was petty of him but he wondered how he could bring it up to N'mor but a glance to his lover made him squelch the idea as fear of hurting N'mor came to mind. Instead, he just chuckled at the teasing between the siblings, not taking either side, and quietly enjoying the moment.
