She was seventeen now. Despite everything thrown at her, despite her chances having dipped the moment she accepted candidate status with her sister, despite being chosen for the deadliest work there was, she was alive. They had reached graduation, even, though they couldn't be part of the ceremony and weren't officially taken in just yet.
And finally, finally, she could feel Alegriath's warm love resounding in those thoughts. < I told you we'd be okay, love~ >
Was she? Arlie wondered as she stroked her beloved's head. Were they? Their injuries put them even further behind. It'd be almost another turn before they got to join the other ex-weyrlings in the skies...
< Don't worry about it, > the white fussed gently. < That just means they need to be really good by the time we get up there, or else they'll really SUPER silly when we show them up! And in the meantime, we can think of some games to play when they come by...D'you think the healers would be mad if we borrowed more pillows? >

Heya! Here's a drabble rp (drp) so I can handle multiple dragons visiting these two without making like 13 rps! A drp just means different "scenes" or rps are encased in the same thread and separated by titles, like you'd titled an rp! Here is an example between Pach and me, but please feel free to ask if it's confusing still!
During the Magic clutches' First Blooding, Arlie and Alegriath ran the second half and, after a strangely astounding firestone bag toss to the weyrleader himself, were too strained to fight the winds and blown straight into a huge clump of Thread which knocked them both out before they could hop Between.
The extent of their injuries is as follows:
Arlie has lost the use of her left eye, a scarred left cheek/ear, and some scoring that's healing on her shoulder. The early weeks (prior to Alegriath waking up) were spent in either utter silence or keening/crying with little communication otherwise. If she heard someone coming, she tried to fake being asleep or medicated to avoid having to talk anyone while she was distraught; she still would've done so if a dragon reached out to her while flinching. You're free to have assumed something like that happened if your character tried to visit beforehand. She's currently subdued but grateful that they both made it out okay, albeit with major injuries to work through.
Other things known about her for your rp flavor:
Alegriath has lost her left forelimb, has Threadscore on her left shoulder/upper ribs, and some chewed through wing membranes that are healing nicely (compared to the others). Not that any of that has kept her down, true to her Cheering Charm theme: she's spun it as "now you have even MORE room to go cuddle against me without my leg getting in the way!" And she has so much time to make up for, wowie wow! Please tell her about every little thing that's happened please!! She'll give good cuddles if you don't mind the weird smells!!!

Other things known about her for your rp flavor:
- Arlie was and still is in a strained and toxic relationship with her older sister. She's been seen defending Haveli despite the latter being domineering and more than a little disagreeable to other people, because despite their differences (cough dragon cough), they're family, and Arlie owes a lot to her for being alive to begin with.
Was a straggler in classes at the beginning but really began to shine in the latter half, albeit quietly. Always nervous about live exercises, though. Excited to learn how to read.
Exuded little sister vibes out the wazoo. Secretly liked being coddled and held but never admitted it. (Out of fear Haveli would see or hear.)
Was roomies with W'ill and Faloth in the senior weryling stage.
Sturdier than her 4'9" baby looks - she grew up on a farm and is used to doing manual labor

Other things known about her for your rp flavor:
- A serial gift giver! She spent a lot of time thinking of how to top her previous Turnover gifts and wanted to give them as graduation presents, but now that that's passed, it's now Turnover Gifts: THE SEQUEL!
Always cheered for every clutchsib when Magic clutch greenflights started happening. This made for some confusing messages when she didn't want any one particular dragon to win, whoops. Well, except for the rising green, they always got lots of hearts regardless! (It's exactly this sort of love everyone behavior that's made it hard to determine if the white has been crushing for a long time or just is forever affectionate. Maybe both?)
Often made up games for the clutchsibs to play and attempted to drag everyone in to participate in at least one. Usually ended up as "narrator" if a group was big enough. These moments showed how well Ale functioned as a dragon that supports others, as she had a knack for knowing the types of parts someone would enjoy.
Grew fond of herdbeasts through many visits to the stables with her bonded and through Ingonth. She's named and loved many despite knowing they're food and even entertained a costume with her cousin to better hang out with them so they don't get so scared. For some reason keeps returning to the name "Pacha."
