Revelio and Open Sesame! Double Clutch Hatching!

You keep saying that... She wasn't so sure she was worth being bonded to someone as good and powerful as a dragon. She couldn't find excitement, only nervousness and anxiety. But Arlie put on a smile for her sister, whether it was a good mask or not.

"Look at the green go," she whispered as Felix made her entrance. "She's so cute."

Orri hesitated for a few seconds as they watched the dragons begin to move more and more, and then he put a hand on Falienn's shoulder. He wasn't sure what he could say to help, but hopefully being there and just putting out white noise against the odd silence about him would help. He could put aside his own nerves for that.

"I'm glad they're getting along," he said, as if Falienn couldn't see the bronze trying to care for the dragonet inside Hufflepuff. Orri knew that one had been special, or at least had it confirmed with the way the other candidate's gaze kept getting pulled. "It's okay. You're not alone. You're okay."

And so are you, he thought to Hufflepuff gently. Take your time. You even have a prince watching after you, so don't worry.

The blond boy looked over as the girl pointed out the Slytherin bronze. “You might be right about that one. He’ll want the spotlight as long as possible… he certainly looks good in it.” His tone was openly admiring, for all dragons were beautiful to his “uncultured” eye. Speaking of eyes, the eye in that yellow egg still looked unhappy. “I hope that one in the black and yellow egg goes first. Having its lifemate would make it feel so much better.”

"I'm Rhylune,"she added, softly giving a soft grin at Helane, Jeri, and Fahn, partly bouncing on her toes in her excitement at the movement on the sands and why was the hatchlings just so cute. "She is just so adorable and ooh.. ooh noes. I was going to ask what color you think that baby was but now he or she is all shy again." Poor little baby. Things were fine. Things were awesome.

Come on out?

As nervous as he was, Saekagi couldn't help flash a half smile, however brief, at the amusing noises from the cheerful little green, honking and trilling and bouncing... and she hadn't hurt anyone. Maybe he was wrong? Maybe things would... actually... stay fine?

Maybe there wouldn't be any blood except from the butchered meat for the newly impressed... Or maybe he'd just jinxed everything. No he'd definitely jinxed it. Maybe not her but he wasn't sure there was such thing as a hatching under normal circumstances where there was no bloodshed. This was... more eggs than he thought he'd seen in one place.

He shifted foot to foot again, casting a worried look to the dragons already on the sands, to the egg with the shy, Hufflepuff egg again, and hoped that things would continue as they were. Calmly. Cheerfully. Silly was fine, but he was anxious of too many dragons on the sands to watch.  

[Uta]

Once Upon a Dream Bronze gave another encouraging croon, and nosed the egg gently... But it seemed the egg wanted someone bigger and much more brown. Giving a little chirrup, the little bronze tucked back his wing as the large brown father approached, and turned back towards the Candidates.

Hmmm.

Not yet.

Instead, he trotted happily back over to Slytherin, giving him an affectionate boop in greeting. From where he stood, he sent another encouraging creel at Felix Felicis as well!

Kronoseth did not hesitate when the cry came out. He shifted away from Rhianth and carefully, ever so carefully, moved so he could be near the Hufflepuff Egg. There, there... Daddy's here. Not ready to come out and meet everyone yet? He leaned down to tenderly nuzzle the broken egg. Though his eyes had tints of red, they were nothing but blue-green for the baby within.

- - -
Avada Kedavra Egg once again gave another good shake before stilling. Someone within was testing things...

- - -
But before anything else could happen, a surprised squeal came from the A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes. A poor hind-leg was stuck at the very top of the shell, as it appeared the poor creature was a bit twisted up inside. The little toes wriggled, and it tried to bend its leg but the rest of the shell had it rather caught in place. Uh-oh... Halp! Those close to the egg might hear some frantic scrabbling from within.  

[Uta]

Fianth
She watched as one of her sister's greens came on over to investigate the clutch. When the little one honked at her, she couldn't help but croon in return. Stretching out her neck, she reached over to boop the little one fondly, sending it happy, hopeful thoughts.  

[Hattaki]

So many things were starting to happen, with a little green now out on the sands and the two bronzes still moving around, Rizdax felt some concern for the little Hufflepuff egg that had shown such worry and concern during the Touching, even with the second bronze there beside it and now it's father, he couldn't help but show a touch of worry himself.

But there were things happening over with the other clutch that made him chuckle softly and look back towards the protective bronze that was interacting with it's cousins. One of your siblings is in distress and twisted up. Riz thought towards it, warm feelings following it as he looked at the poor little egg's toes cracked through and wiggling. Dream is a Wish needed some help for sure!  

[Revel1984]

Rokar was glad the huflepuff' baby's father went to comfort him. He caught his breath as a foot emerged from...the top of an egg, what a strange little thing, why try and go up and out?

~~~~~~~~~

Farellen tightened his jaw, he was glad the little scared brown/bronze's father went to him but then another egg shook, and one from the other clutch started to hatch... upwards, he was near-ish, as near as he dared to get, and could just about hear the scrabbling from within .... he clenched his jaw tighter, NO... he wasn't going to help... look what trying to help a hatchling did to him last time... no... no... the mother or the father would help it, surely.. he didn't dare...

~~~~~~~~~

Helane grinned wider/creepier at Ryhlune "Helane" she replied, "Soooooo cute" she squealed quietly "I think it's brown, egg goo looks shiny" she added, before turning to pay attention to hufflepuff egg, "oh no he's so scared, or sad... i hope his rider comes for him" she added, a little louder, then another egg rocked, and yet another tried to hatch, the wrong way up and got stuck? "OH NO!" she cried, caught herself, but looked at the adult dragons "someone, please help it" she thought quietly, to no one in particular, just wanting the baby to be safe

Saekagi

It was hard not to twitch at that cry for help, even if you knew how... pointy... that distressed, helpless sounding baby was. It was just... reflex. The urge to help people, that was a powerful, necessary thing for a rider, or... he sort of thought it ought to be, in some form.

It would figure it out, it could... maybe pull the foot back in? He wasn't sure. He'd never been stuck in that kind of position, but it seemed impressively acrobatic. Was it hard to tell what direction was up, in the shell?

It was just... scrabbling for now anyway, after that alarming squeal, no more loud distressed noises so... so in spite of how awkward it looked he thought he could convince himself that Dream was more inconvenienced at presence than anything else.

He thought he might loose the sounds from the sands over the sound of his own heart beat at this rate, with these dragons still loose on the sands, and none of them apparently hungry or desperate enough to partner up and bow out of the collective eyes of the watchers and the hot, fascinated, hungry in their own way candidates.  

[Smerdle]

Torin

He had expected all of this to take a lot longer, the end of the last hatching he had attended fresh in his mind. They had stood out in the sun for so long that he'd almost passed out, and all for a green, no less. Not that there was anything wrong with greens, only the greens that made him wait for hours and then did not choose him. The green that was bouncing and booping around on the sands right now was an absolute gem by comparison. Torin chuckled as he watched her go, sending her his happiest thoughts and extending them to her siblings and cousins for good measure.

This was going well so far, and so much faster than the last time.

Rykin

It wasn't long before Rykin's attention was back on the sands, now dotted with damp baby dragons and wobbling eggs. He was surprised to see that the lavender egg he had so enjoyed spending time with had hatched bronze, and it made him give Slytherin a second look. Perhaps his regal nature had little to do with his color.

One thing was for sure, he was not going to help that stuck hatchling. He liked his guts right where they were, thank you very much.

Korbet

Korbet leaned to the left, looking past Theo to see the woman on his opposite side.

"Oh! Hello!" he said to Sylfie, offering her a smile and a brief wave of ink-stained fingers before he got to collecting his firelizards. "I am too! Not a Harper, but something approaching one on a good day. Korbet." He held out a hand to shake or ignore, their choice.

"I look forward to seeing some of your work performed. Will it be about dragons, do you think?" He would have rather written about the two of them and all of this... blushing.

Dehka

"It's hard to tell just yet," He whispered back, frowning with thought. "I feel like it could be either of those three... but...--oh.." Oh , no, something had spooked the infant, and it withdrew again... The bronze sitting nearby had withdrawn to the Slytherin once more, and Felix seemed to be greeting her aunt Fianth...

Dehka gave a start as Kah's--no, the big egg stirred again, but blinked with surprise at the squeal that came from one of the eggs. A limb was sticking out... and the dragonet within appeared to be struggling. As much as he wanted to help, that was strictly against the rules. He chewed his lower lip and stayed where he was, glancing at Soui. Poor little thing...

Lauthisen

Luckily, his companion only grinned and left it at that. Lauthisen arched his brows at the flurry of activity on the sands--especially when one baby appeared to be temporarily stuck. "Good temperments so far." He murmured, pausing to try and assess the Hufflepuff egg once more... ah, but Kronoseth had moved to nose at it. Interesting...

Her lips curled quietly at that, nodding almost absently to herself. "Yes, he's quite the specimen. He'll only settle for someone equally worthy." It was interesting that Cedarian did not seem to be desperate for a metallic hide to call his own. Phryana watched impassively for a time until it appeared that one babe had gotten itself stuck... Clicking her tongue, she spoke up again. "How many do you think will run to help even after being explicitly told not to?" She mused.

Awww, you're awesome Auntie Fianth! The little green reared up to nuzzle the gold's snout as she retreated post-boop. Ample love there, and her cousins were super lucky to have her as a mom!

...Whups!! A noise of distress caught Felix Felicis' attention and the green whipped her head about to spot...oh! Oops! She made a strange almost coughing noise—a laugh!—at the converse bad luck of A Dream Is a Wish, slipping around a few other eggs to inspect the situation. Huh! Wow, you managed to get that leg stuck right at the top, huh? She nosed at the orange shell, and then with surprising delicacy reared up, wings splaying for balance as she huffed, snuffed, licked Dream's leg...and then sat back hard with a whump as the bit of shell she'd been leaning on gave way, breaking down the side from where the leg was jutting out in a long, crumbling crack that split the egg wide open.

Well...that worked out nice, didn't it? She thrust her snout forward into the gap, eyes bright and blue. Hey cousin! HWONK!!  

[houllow]

YURASTAR

Was that...distress? Yurastar had happily been watching the actions of the peppy green that it took him a moment or two to notice anything else. It wasn't like he had tunnel vision, it was just that she was so energetic and her movements were loud and bright, so most everything else escaped his attention. It wasn't until he heard the sounds and noticed everyone around him shifting with anxiety that he understood there was some sort of distress on the sands, and not from the egg that had been having issues from the very beginning.

This was different from anxiety, this was someone being trapped? Or at the very least uncomfortable, and Yurastar shifted in his sandals. There was no going to help even if he wanted considering all the lessons he'd been through and all the rules he'd been taught. If the baby inside was really suffering a parent would arrive, right?

"Don't panic, just relax. You can get out if you take it slow."

...or, in the case of it, someone would come and help. That loving green, again. Slowly but surely she was becoming Yurastar's little hero.

"It certainly seemed to be a striking little thing," and now it was hiding again but it seems the clutch father was attending the little one. "Poor thing." It was clearly overwhelmed and he sent it good thoughts.

And then.. ooh. "Poor hatching." It had managed to get stuck but it seemed its cousin was going to break it out. Go little green.."That little green is adorable. And now I wonder what that egg will be." He remembered that one. There had been a warmth and he could feel himself smile slightly at the 'you were a wish'.
