Lileth's faceted eyes took on a greenish tinge of subtle annoyance, but the brown's understated response was satisfactory enough that she daintily deposited herself at his side. ((This seems like the

The weather in Arolos was hot, but no worse than he remembered from Igen - save for the intense humidity here. That took adjusting to, and he raked his fingers through dark auburn hair as he stepped o

Calyse hesitated, something like pain flashing across her face before she was able to compose herself. "He.. he did. His name was Selyon, you might have known him. He was a good person, had a lot of f

Calyse had been a candidate for four Turns by the time she transferred south, arriving at Arolos a few sevendays prior with high marks in her previous lessons. She was proud of the effort she had inve

Calyse settled the stack of books against her side, cradling them with one arm. Hearing that Kashara had been born here made her eyebrows rise; what luck! She couldn't have hoped to run into anyone be

Calyse didn't complain at his offer to join her, instead waving at him to follow - as much an invitation as he was going to get. She stopped just at the shoreline and began wringing out her clothes wi

Calyse spent the majority of her time in the Infirmary, her home away from home. There was always work to be done, and though it often wasn't the most exciting, that suited her just fine. Excitement w

Calyse quickly took the offered hand, using his help to pull herself back to standing. She couldn't have been more drenched without diving in headfirst, ugly uniform clinging to her skin and dripping.

Calyse watched PrettyGirl once he mentioned that she might rise soon, tilting her head at the thought. Given the vastly different personality between green mother and daughter, Calyse preferred the on

Calyse thought about the dilemma silently for a few minutes. K'sway seemed very kind, giving consideration to her future with the hope she might Impress. "It's.. it-it's hard not to get discouraged af

"A lighter fabric?" Calyse wasn't entirely sure what that would entail, but the concept was intriguing - especially when even the candidate uniforms felt like blankets in the heat. A smile appeared fl

"Thank you, Sixanth. I want to be sure you are spotless as you deserve," Calyse replied to the dragon directly, beaming proudly and working all the harder to clean him with the praise from K'sway. His

"It-it's alright. You didn't do anything," Calyse answered gently. "It's part of being a rider, losing people. You have to get used to those punches in the gut." When the brown nudged her, she seemed
