Recent posts have been getting a bit lax in adhering to canon regarding flits.

Please remember... Pictures and Emotions only.  Flits are not capable of Speech.

Fire lizards almost always communicate by verbal sounds - like any animal you've ever known. They may occasionally project mental images to their owner, but they never talk in speech. For this reason, flits may be a little harder to understand. Someone who is unfamiliar with them may have a harder time distinguishing their moods, whereas their own "pet" can usually "feel" a general emotion the flit is feeling.

Things like ~~~come here~~~ are not acceptable.  However, ~~~image of weyrlake~~~ accompanied by the emotion of needing their pet's presence could be used instead.

Please just be careful with your posts not to attibute words to the Firelizard.

My apologies. I understood that firelizards send imagery and don't speak in words, but I see I'm taking too much liberty with my shorthand. I'll be sure to drop the shorthand and just describe the images and emotions in full instead from here on.
