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!

So far the Hatching had been a rather thrilling show, and Gangleri couldn't wait to let Quil know about Mylorah's new mate. He'd even considered sending her a note, but even being a few hours ahead of Fort, he knew it was possible she could already be asleep. Best wait until morning. Even better, he could try to just finish up his remaining interviews, spend a little time with Orgailian unless he impressed at the last minute, and then head back early to finish putting together the crib he'd started on. Hopefully by having Geric help him, his younger brother could pick up a few things that helped in his own little journey into fatherhood. Whenever those negotiations wrapped up and they actually had the baby in hand.
And speaking of babies, the Master Harper realized that more had hatched while he'd been lost in his own thoughts. He chuckled at the thirsty little green, then glanced over at the tarnished bronze that had hatched. Despite his stomach having settled earlier, he suddenly felt almost nauseated as his head began to swim. Maybe he hadn't thrown up as much of that poison as he thought he had? Eh, he'd be fine once he got some sleep, but for the moment he sharply shook his head and stood up. "Pardon, imbibed something earlier that disagreed with me. I'll be back soon enough. Geric, let me know if I miss anything."
Gangleri pushed himself up without further hesitation and made his way to the exit to at least get out into the cooler night air. There was an oddly dizzying sensation at first, almost as if he had double vision but could also see himself. It reminded him of a party drug he had once tried and he wondered if maybe the wine had also been spiked with a bit of that too. He took a deep breath and ran through the fingerings of an arpeggio to try and focus; by the time he'd stepped out of the Sands he was feeling much less dizzy and disoriented.
He saw Tiberuth lying just outside the entrance to the Sands with K'dar curled up miserably on the dragon's forelegs as if he were a boy cuddled up under the great looming head of a protective mastiff. He considered talking to the pair, to wish Tiberuth well on his speedy recovery and commend him for his valor in trying to slow his partner's fall, and tell K'dar that he also knew what loss felt like and would be willing to talk if the bronzerider wanted.
Only he was interrupted by a gentle nudge before he could get there. He turned around and saw that the baby bronze had followed him out. Gangleri smiled, tilting his head curiously as he studied the thing. "Now you don't belong out here. Who are you looking for?" L'ri- "Ah! Well then let's go find him shall we?" The bronze huffed in annoyance at the interruption but the harper just gave him an idle wave before he could respond, "Oh now don't be like that. You'll feel better once you find this L'ri fellow and eat something I'm sure."
He headed back towards where he'd seen the other baby dragons getting fed, the baby dragon trotting at his heels, and spotted Mylorah and her brother T'ryn, giving them both a cheery wave. "Hello! First of all, congratulations, your new companion looks as lovely as you are, Mylo. Second, this little guy here is lost and seems to have misplaced his rider. Some fellow named L'ri? Do either of you two know..." Gangleri's voice trailed off and he frowned as he caught their expressions. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
They don't know how to react to my magnificence. Gangleri raised an eyebrow and turned to glance down at the dragon. "While you are quite the dapper fellow, Oncaeth, there's no need to flaunt it right now. There's a time and place for such posturing and right now we have to find your person." Gangleri turned back to Mylo and T'ryn, shaking his head in amusement. "Youths right? And... no really. Is something wrong?"
