Another trinket!! I'm still without my pencil case, and also had no more blank paper in the house so I used the backside of my first drawing with the willow tree lol. I wasn't sure what to draw today but while sitting in class, I had this idea to draw Treble's flower. Spinner was a challenge but I'm glad I did it anyway. :D

Big, big thanks to bonjournal_on IG since I've been following their flower-drawing tutorials recently for my own bulletjournal. ^^ This was their cherry blossom tutorial, but it's not a cherry blossom in-story. I have no clue what the actual flower which Treble found in the meadow is, it's... a strange species that only grows on Sorneith, I guess. :P

@Petall I'm so glad you like the camp!! ^^ I had fun coming up with the details for it lol. My next task (when I get to it) is to figure out how the tunnels underground look!

When they awoke the next morning, the dragons did not speak much of what they had shared the previous night. Instead, they seemed to carry themselves differently, more confidently - or perhaps, more comfortably.

Surprisingly, Luana was the first to rise. She was shoulder-deep into the mostly-built storage hut, swiping with a paw, trying to reach some plants stocked in the back. "Ugh, too far," she grumbled.

When the others saw her, they were amused to see her tail lashing in the air, her back legs scrambling, her claws digging deep trenches into the earth. Treble purred quietly with laughter, but Gabi stepped forward.

Breed or Scroll a Dragon

Gabi and Treble were busy gardening at the north end of camp. They did not speak much between the two of them, except to ask for advice or compliment one another's gardens. Gabi wanted a garden filled with edibles - veggies, some fruit bushes, and even some ferns with crunchy leaves. Treble worked on lining some flower bulbs uniformly. Next she would turn to transplanting some sprouts, and she was thinking of adding hydrangea bushes, too.

While the two worked on their gardens, Maple barbecued some meat by the firepit. It had been a while since she had eaten meat - lately, it had mostly been insects.

The scent of the searing, spiced meat brought Luana over. The Guardian sniffed the air delicately, and then gave the Nocturne a nod of approval.
