GOLDEN GREENERY
Bloom by The Paper Kites
1:24 / 3:33
▶︎
The Paper Kites are an Australian indie rock/folk rock band from Melbourne. The band was formed in 2009 by lead vocalist/guitarist Sam Bentley and keyboardist/guitarist Christina Lacy. Their 2010 single "Bloom" has been certified Platinum in the United States.
Recently, Town was decorated by locals and Fae folk both. Things are a bit more colorful and the sun is shining more and more instead of the continuous winter gloom from before. The world finally feels like it's coming alive again.
Sorry about your possible allergies as trees blossom and spit excess pollen.
There also seems to be an emphasis on both green and gold. Crowns or other accessories of clovers are being made for luck. Whether or not they're actually lucky, who knows! Dragon-bonded are also being enlisted in helping with post-winter (and post Mind Flayer) repairs. Those creatures did quite a number skittering around some homes so why not lend a hand - clawed or otherwise - now that you're here? It'll help with offworlders reputation if nothing else!
Meanwhile, the Fae appear to have taken to the opposite of helping as they are wont to do. They are instead trying to trick locals and offworlders both with glittering chests of gold that most would know are too good to be true.
These are mimics who will attempt to devour someone that falls for the temptation of quick riches. Not to worry though, they're relatively harmless and all just for a good bit of fun. You might need some help though getting unstuck since they can be pretty persistent once their trap has been sprung.

CH-CH-CHANGES
There comes a time in every young dragon's life where they begin to experience some changes. That might be nothing new to those established in Town by now, of course, as the majority of their changes have come and gone. Nothing can surprise them anymore about their dragon-bonds.
...Or so they thought!
Whether established characters or ones just pulled through the summoning circle, springtime is a season that throws almost all dragons for a little bit of a loop. It is a common rutting season and those hormone fluctuations can strike when least expected.
Even if outside of your specific dragon's season or newly arrived, they'll be swept up by the rest being in so close proximity and likely be at least mildly affected as well. Some handle this season better than others, but there are still specific things to watch out for as more 'universal' experiences.

- ⁂ Heightened aggression - The ways that this can manifest varies wildly! Perhaps you're more easily irritated or frustrated. It's also possible that this presents as an increased competitive drive with someone else or just in general.
⁂ Brooding - While usually described as an instinctual behavior of sitting on eggs to incubate them, for most dragon-bonded this will instead appear as a compulsion to cuddle up with someone dear. You have the instinct to keep them safe, warm, and where better than right here with you?
⁂ Nesting - That stick is really neat. It'd look great in your home, wouldn't it? Dragon-bonded will feel the desire to create a safe and comfortable environment for themselves and friends. This often involves cleaning, organizing, and preparing a space. For what? Maybe your character doesn't know, but will feel the urge to do it anyway!
⁂ Increased Libido (The NSFW Option) - For those of age, there will be a distinct increase in sexual desire that can be noted as well. While not everyone will experience it, it is something that can be present as an undercurrent either on its own or coupled with other instincts. (For example, the compulsion to cuddle isn't just that or nesting will be a result of attempting to breed.)
PLAYTIME
To help dragon-bonded with their seasonal and instinctual urges, Charlie and others have put together some games. They understand this might be a bit overwhelming and strange to those unfamiliar. So, why not make it as fun and enjoyable as they can?
- ⁂ Horn Locking - All dragon-bonded will find that due to the season 1) if they have horns then they aren't going away no matter their attempts to shift and 2) they're extremely itchy. Even the newest among them will have small stubs of horns pre-maturely! To help combat this and channel some unexpected aggression, dragon-bonded are encouraged to lock horns with one another. It hopefully scratches both the literal and metaphorical itches they're dealing with.
⁂ Scavenger Hunt(s) - To help with the nesting urges, a list of miscellaneous items has been given to dragon-bonded to search for. The reward for completing this list* is five (5) bond points. Charlie trusts that you'll find what has been asked for... but doesn't need to see it. Yes, that is a nice rock. It can stay in your home though, really.
⁂ Baseball - Even if called something else here, people will realize quickly enough: this is just baseball. Dragon-bonded will be encouraged though to hit the ball with one of their draconic extremities rather than a bat. They can use their tail, their hands, or even their horns to whack a small ball as far as possible. This game is set-up to help release some of that pent-up energy as well as indulge in that competitive instinct.
Rocky Talky
One of the things that was given to you in your welcome pack from Charlie was a summoning-stone. Although it looks like, well, an ordinary stone- It's actually magic! You can look through it and see someone else's face too if you're both viewing your stones at the same time. It can also record your speech and deliver that to someone else in a snap.
One of the other features is that you can scrawl on it. It will turn your writing into legible text that you can send others to read on their stones. Of course, you need to attune yourself to your stone first. To that end, it prompts you to set up a Rockstar Profile:

He presses in, feeling his hips meet the shape of the man's cock under the water. deft hand-paw follows it, touching gently at first. Light grazing touches before taking it more firmly in his grasp and guiding it to press against his own.
The draconic anatomy has provided quite the boon in that department. He steadies his breathing, pressing a kiss to Lahabrea's neck and shoulder. He presses into the curious touches when they happen, encouraging him for more.
no subject
True, he still relaxes into the enjoyment but slowly. As if he is allowing himself this for the first time in a long time. But relax he does all the same, tension slowly bleeding away from his frame as he gives himself all the more to the sway of the season and the desires that have come with it.
He is still quiet, yes. But as Byleth presses a kiss to his neck and shoulder, the touches Lahabrea is offering turn from cautious to determined. As if he wishes to seek out how much Byleth is willing to give - and more importantly, what he enjoys best, the fingers of one hand coming up to explore where Byleth's wings meet his body. And this time it is very clearly not just scientific in nature.
no subject
He leans into the tentative touches, wings flaring ever-so-slightly for the pleasant feeling. His kisses in turn, begin to involve much more tongue and teeth. Happy to mark up his shoulders and neck as he likes. His hand squeezes, stroking them together, his cock in the center of the two. It makes for a lovely arrangement. He's able to rock his hips to press between them.
He finds a nice, leisurely rhythm, resting more firmly against Lahabrea's chest, gaze fixed upwards, studying his expressions now.
no subject
As does the fact that he finally breaks his silence, offering a faint noise of what is unmistakably appreciation at teeth and tongue being involved. Something he returns in kind, as if a dam has finally broken. True, he is still not rough with any of it, but he has finally reached a point where he is willing to acknowledge the desire running through him.
He is, however, perfectly willing to let Byleth set the rhythm in regards to their cocks. Though he would have no objections to anything further, he cannot deny that this is perfectly enjoyable - and not something that would have occurred to him as a possibility now that he has a pair of cocks instead of just the one.
But neither does he stand idle. Instead, the tips of his claws press gently against Byleth's back. Gentle pinpricks, yes, but ones that are meant to see what Byleth might think of such things. Even if it means leaving off his more thorough explorations for the moment.
no subject
As much as Byleth might like the challenge of two at once, he has an intent here. Perhaps an instinct leftover from memories of other places and other selves. The sense to be dominant unless pushed otherwise is there. So he slides from between the dual shafts and uses one clawed hand to pull Lahabrea's leg up, giving him more space to lean back and try to find an opening. He slides the tip of his cock between the man's legs, pushing slightly. Prompting him for perhaps some guidance on where exactly to push it into. His ass or perhaps if he has one as well- cloaca? It doesn't matter.
Green eyes flick up to look at his partner, another prompt. Checking to see if he wants this, or if he prefers the other way around.
no subject
Still, he catches the prompt in that gaze, and though he, too, tends to prefer to be in control just at the moment he is willing enough to see how matters play out should he leave control in Byleth's hands. If nothing else it cannot be worse than anything that had come of Athena's desire, and it will assuage the heat running through his vein as surely as anything else.
There's a nod, in answer to the gaze, and a moment later Lahabrea speaks.
"You may."
