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!

Ch'es groaned at the heavy weight on his chest and tried to shove at it without fully waking. Not to be ignored, the weight grew even heavier, and the boy recognized his dragon's nose shoving more insistently into him. Eyes still closed, he blindly reached up to pet Pardrith. Is everything alright? What do you need?
But instead of answering, Pardrith only pulled his head away from those soothing hands and braced against Ch'es's shoulder before shoving him unceremoniously off the bed and onto the floor.
Landing with a heavy thump on the fur-lined hollow that was meant to serve as Pardrith's bed, Ch'es growled. We've talked about this, the boy grumbled.
Instead of the hatchling launching into an argument about how he should still be allowed to sleep in the bed despite his quickly growing size, Pardrith hopped off the bed and snagged Ch'es by the pants of his sleep clothes and started to drag him.
Feeling the pants start to slip off his hips, Ch'es hissed and sat up to swat lightly at the misbehaving dragon. Stop that! What is it?
Pardrith huffed as if to say, 'finally!' Blowing out a breath, Ch'es stood and followed the bronze from the weyrling barracks. He bumped into the dark hatchling when Pardrith came to a sudden stop. With a frown, he got down on all fours to peek around the corner alongside his dragon and noted the way Pardrith watched one of the attendants.
What are we doing? You're not sneaking us out, are you? Why? Ch'es jolted when Pardrith's tail whipped at his thigh in admonishment as if to tell him no more questions. On a tired sigh, he relented. Fine, fine. Lead the way.
Keeping behind his dragon's dark body for cover, Ch'es followed him until they were free of the barracks and out of range of any listeners. Are you going to tell me what this is about?
I want to swim. And I heard the lake reflects the galaxy at night and wanted to see it.
Who even told you that?
Ch'es felt rather than saw the dragonet shrug. Keep your secrets then.
Can't you move any faster? the bronze asked with amusement, and bounded into the dark, leaving Ch'es to follow. It became a game then, of who could race faster to the lake. While Ch'es stumbled at the shoreline, Pardrith plunged right in. Ha! I win. You hesitated.
I don't want to get my pajamas wet, Pard.
Fine, fine. There's a seat up there. See if you can see the galaxy in the lake.
Not unwilling, Ch'es glanced over to the boulder he could just barely see in the light of a crescent moon and scrambled his way up onto it. Perching on the flat surface of it, he let his legs dangle down while Pardrith swam in lazy circles in the shallows. Don't go out where you can't touch the bottom, Ch'es instructed with worry.
I am an excellent swimmer.
Yes, well, if we get caught because you wanted a moonlight swim, it's me who will get yelled at for endangering you, he pointed out.
Seeing the reason in his boy's argument, Pardrith relented and kept close to the edge.Can you see it?
There are too many ripples to make sense of any of the reflections. You'll have to stop moving for a bit to let it all settle.
Pardrith hummed and lay down to lounge where the lake lapped at the shore and looked to the sky where stars glittered and blinked like precious gems in the dark. The pair continued to star gaze until the lake water was almost as still as glass.
It does look like the galaxy from up here. If I didn't feel that I was looking down, I could believe I was looking up there.
See? Wasn't this a good idea?
I guess, Ch'es admitted with a fond smile.
Suddenly, Pardrith stood and whipped around back the way they'd come. With a growl, the dragonet splashed through the shallows to leap up onto the rock his boy was perched on and made to guard him against whoever approached with an arched back and bared teeth.
