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!

T'ryn's lips twitched as he tried not to grin at Ereben as he gave himself further away by saying High Reaches was fine instead of sticking with his story that family was here. His desire to help the younger man grew and he didn't think S'far could complain if he showed up with his own random find from a forest. Maybe Ereben and Ch'es would even become friends with what T'ryn assumed was a shared background of living conditions.
"Truthfully, if you come to Telgar with me, I can wave away the Search dragon approval and get you right in. I can try to do that here as well. Weyrleader M'ris is pretty cool and Weyrsecond A'dis and I have helped each other out before." He didn't think either man would put up a fuss since Candidates were always needed and T'ryn was still convinced Ereben wasn't a murderer on the run so he probably wasn't inviting danger into a Weyr.
"As for what you would do after that, you would help out with daily chores like the other Candidates until you get closer to a Hatching and your full attention is put on lessons and preparing for that." Since he had Impressed in Katila at his first Hatching at the age of twelve, T'ryn had never truly experienced the life of a Candidate. The basic idea was still the same but Katila was its own world with its own rules, but he had seen enough of the life in Weyrs at this point that he was comfortable in explaining what Ereben could look forward to. He knew a lot more of the intricacies of the back end of things now as well since his promotion but Ereben likely wouldn't be interested in all of that.
"But if you're ready, we'll land and I'll introduce you to some people and even help you get settled in if you'd like." Was this how his dad felt after a Search? R'nd always seemed to form a friendship of some sort with the Candidates he brought in and checked up on them regularly. When he was younger, that made T'ryn envious of those kids since R'nd didn't know he had children of his own yet but now, the bronzerider was starting to understand. He didn't just want to toss someone into a whole new world and never look back. He wanted to make sure Ereben knew someone still cared and would have his back if needed.
It also made T'ryn give one more little nudge to Telgar. "Telgar Weyr will be a lot warmer than here, just in case you like your toes," he gave a light laugh to let Ereben know he was teasing about the toes--he hoped. At least he hadn't heard of anyone getting frostbite in the first few months the Weyr was open.
