Friends,
I'm afraid that Temeraire was injured terriblyquite severelyrather badly last night while protecting the Covert. As such, we'll be remaining at the covert for the time being.
Please remain safe while this damned darkness lasts, but I'm certain that once it is all over, he will happily welcome any who would wish to keep him company, provided he surviif he is while he convalesces.
