2024-07-17 - Grateful for this Attempt at a Stolen Glance
Kanyoth learns some useful information about a dragon's choice from a former candidate, and he is grateful for it.%r(Tagged for death because the prompt as a whole is tagged for death, and therefore just to be safe, but there's no actual mention or discussion of death in this scene.)

2024-07-14 - Drawn to the Light
There are many candidates drawn to the Layers of Time in a Canyon Wall Egg, since it is wiggling so fiercely, like it's trying to hatch already. The sand has been piled high around it, at least at the start of the Touching, to the point where only the top of the dented shell is visible - clearly this was done in order to keep it from rolling right out of its wallow in the sand and causing chaos.%r[The True]

2024-07-12 - A Sandy Adventure
Kanyoth doesn't think that much about the weather until the sandstorm arrives. They don't know why everyone has suddenly left to seek shelter, until they once again attempt to escape from their shell and find that the wind is blowing around way too much sand around outside. They end up retreating back to their place with the clutch to wait out the sand-bearing winds.

2024-07-08 - A Lone Pillar Can't Hope to Hold the Ceiling Away from the Foundation
Kanyoth witnesses his mother's long vigil and thinks that the reality she should bear so much of this burden alone, and that there are so few leaders are shouldered with these burdens, is ridiculous. (Content Warning: brief mention, discussion of death)

023

The inhabitant within Canyon starts learning about the ways in which language can be multi-layered in meaning and therefore confusing, and is irritated by it. Pertemarth is cool though.
023
2024-06-24 - The Vow
Whose words can influence the world, and others out there in the world? Not Canyon's, not really, not while they're in the egg. They'll figure out how to change that. They're going to get out there. You'll see.
023
2024-06-17 - It's All Too Much All At Once
The inhabitant within Canyon discovers, in a relatively short amount of time, distance, that there is an "in here," and an "out there," that they are embodied and can move, and that "in here" is full of gross-ness and awful and they want out immediately but rolling is terrifying and and and!
023
2024-06-16 - DEMANDING ATTENTION OF YOU ALL
