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 with the last Hatching at Fort, A'tay went with firelizard and paper in hand. Madiquel had told him to keep her updated again--though he had shyly sent word to her before he left if she would still be up and want the updates as they happened. He had worried he was waking her but Xyxyth assured him all was well and in the process discovered that her friend Quinvalis wasn't Standing this time so some of the stress he had been carrying vanished. He really didn't want to report that another friend of hers was injured.
That relief was short-lived.
He had quietly joined his siblings and their blueriding friends just before the first egg cracked open. He hadn't meant to arrive so late but he'd taken his time getting around to bothering Madiquel--which only made the hour grow even later and made him feel even worse. He had learned from the last Hatching that short notes made it easier to keep up and Madiquel and her classmates were fine with that to help keep them in the know and get more details later if needed.
1 - lazy blue to boy
2 - hissing green to boy
He added names when he knew the person but he honestly didn't know that many Candidates anymore and A'tay felt a bit bad about that. Maybe we should visit them more! More friends is never a bad thing. A'tay wasn't too sure about that. He was shy and didn't like too much attention but maybe he could try to say hello to more Candidates. Maybe Mylorah knew the names of the newly Impressed and he could update his notes.
He had just started to lean over to ask when the third and fourth hatchlings also appeared and the fight broke out. He winced, heart sinking as someone was mauled and his eyes shut when one of the bronze babies went between. It never got easier seeing such things. He also knew it was all in his head but his hand that had been nibbled on by an excited hatchling started to throb and A'tay absently rubbed his other hand over the scars as he stared at the paper on his lap. He didn't want to write the note but he knew he had to.
Two bronze got into a fight. One vanished. Other Impressed to the boy that was mauled.
He sighed and glanced over to where the new pairs were feeding and saw a brown as well. he quickly noted that down and then finally leaned over to Mylorah since it really did seem like she knew everyone. He crossed out all mentions of 'boy' and replaced them with the appropriate names and then sent Shadow off with the paper. He debated waiting to add some more but it was quiet and he was distracted with trying to keep up with the conversation beside him while watching the Healers work since he knew Madiquel would ask about that.
