[Anakumath's Hatching] From a Little Spark May Burst a Flame

[Spockat]

Sh’vel of green Misuth

Misuth was had very very carefully found herself a suitable place where she could watch all the eggs wiggle, and hatch. She laid her head gently on a foreleg, happiness bubbling over her.
She quite loved watching hatchings, the delight when someone found who they belonged with. The excited hush that fell over the weyr when all eyes were watching the little ones. She raised a happily whirling eye to Sh’vel who seemed to be in an animated conversation with just about anyone who wanted to listen. It was a good day for their home, a good turnday for these little ones.

Anakumath

Anakumath was calm in spite of the fighting, though a faint yellow ringed her eyes over the whole affair. But she made no motion to step in and break it up. They would settle themselves and then she could give them both love and support in the aftermath of things - and as the fight did indeed break up, she offered both of her impressing sons a wave of love.

Then, it was on to nuzzle both of her newly hatched greens from 90s Picture Day in their anxiety and distress, offering up her love as well in hopes to calm any nerves.

She even offered a nuzzle to the rolling, but seemingly undistressed (as he'd not asked for help from his predicament) Funfetti blue.

When Red and White Toadstool egg hatched into a handsome blue and offered his bows, Anakumath inclined her head to return it, before leaning out to offer a boop, if it would be accepted.

Hello, my darlings.  

[Zaikt]

Elsewhere, the Rainbow Egg had finally made some progress. Now that the fight between Mihrath and Sathanaseth had been finished, the situation was a little bit less pressing, but Rainbow felt that it had already wasted enough time as it was.
For a long moment, the egg froze, all signs of movement abruptly stopping as the hatchling pondered its next course of action. There was no warning for what happened next--the dragonet simply headbutted through one of the weakened sections of its egg, revealing the head and neck of a somewhat perturbed-looking Green. She made short work of the rest of the egg from there, picking apart the shell with deliberate, measured movements; it had held her back for long enough, and she had things to be doing.

Apologies for the wait. She didn't pause to look at the Candidates when she spoke at them, still shaking off a bit of her shell from around her shoulders. Let's get to it, then.
Rainbow did, however, turn towards Elzebuth and Anakumath once she'd been properly de-shelled, eyes whirling a steady purple. Words weren't necessary for them--she made certain they could feel the wave of love she'd sent them, straightening herself up to let them see her better. It was all she could do to hope they'd be proud of her; and if not, she'd work until they were.

Valian - HR - He/Him

The bronze’s pull was strong, and Valian couldn’t help but be compelled to listen. A bronze was calling the boys forward, and Valian is careful to step into place amongst the forming group gathered for the regal bronze.

Finnisa - HR - She/Her
For just a moment Finnisa thought to hold Haveli back when she began to move towards the raging brown... but then she let go. Her friend's voice, firm as it hadn't been in all the time she knew her... and the way the brown stopped at the same moment. Oh. OH. She let her hand fall slack, and even managed a smile—she really, truly was happy for Haveli. "Not so alone now, huh? That's wonderful. Go kick all their teeth in..." She wished her quietly, as she went.

Although... well, now Finnisa was alone. Again.


Zelaya - HR - She/Her/They/Them
Here came the little blue, right up to her and the rest of her little throng, and Zelaya was cautious not to get in the way, but neither did she step back. If the blue wanted a look, far be it from her to stop him. "Yes, quite," she agreed patiently, reaching out a hand not to touch, but to be sniffed or nosed at if the blue wished it. "Just let us know if you'd like us to move, alright? We don't want to be in your way, but we're also happy to stay here with you for as long as you'd like." It was a balancing act, giving the little dragons what they wanted but also being ready for sudden mood swings. Still, it was wonderful to have the chance to admire him up close. So finely formed, even at that young age... dragons really were marvelous, weren't they? "It looks like two of your brothers are settled now too, so you've got all the time you need. Thank you for your composure also."  

[Uta]

The little, white-eyed 90s Picture Day Green gave an anxious creel as Anakumath gave her a nuzzle and wave of love. She half-reared up, wanting to paw tenderly at her mother's face for a longer cuddle--but alas, her mother had moved on.

Still wobbly on her legs, the little green one tumbled back unsteadily on the sand.

Something wasn't right...

She peeked over at her sister, who looked absolutely fine. With Anakumath's attention elsewhere, she creeled softly again, looking about. Some Candidates were stained with red blood (or in some cases, green ichor), there were emotions all over between the Candidates and her clutchmates, the boys were being summoned elsewhere, and, to top it all off, she was very much alone.

Would her sister stay? Shaking off the sand, the little green reached out her neck to her twin, her eyes still white with anxiety and fear.

Today was a very hard day, indeed.

Remdianori He/him - Western

Remdianori had been watching everything happening with interest but no alarm. It hadn’t gotten to the point of some of the previous hatchings he had been at. Really, a small tussle between two dragons and a few swipes at candidates was nothing. He was glad for the impressions though. That kept it from getting too far.

When the other bronze called for them to ‘attend’ him, Remdianori had to think about it. On one hand, he didn’t want to miss out on the baby if it was meant for him, but on the other, he didn’t feel like falling in line just because someone commanded it. In the end the desire for independence won out. If the dragon was meant for him, the dragon could find him. Remdianori stood his ground and watched on with continued interest to see what other males did. He kept scanning over the rest of the dragons out on the sands as well.

Rahmsii

A green hatched who seemed to be full of purpose! Even her egg precisely cracked apart! He watched as she shook egg from her hide and announced her presence. She looked ready to take on the world already. Rahmsii stood on his toes for a bit of a better look.
By the time Lisa Frank bronze was urging male candidates to him, his nerves were a little less frayed from the brown than when Eggplant Blue had called for candidates. He felt less transfixed to the sands (and like he ought to be defended the girl who had hid behind him). Should he? He gave a glance to Dalini who seemed to be a bit calmer herself. Maybe he’d move a bit towards them… Yeah that’d do. Their voice was just a bit too compelling to stay put!  

[Prism Shine]

Wa’ren of Brown Caironairth

Maybe something should have clued him in that something was happening around him; but the days leading up to the hatching, Wa’ren had soaked himself in the excitement of the upcoming hatching. Getting a seat for himself and J’er as soon as the humming had begun, his arm around his weyrmate, he was thrilled to see the new dragons that would be gracing the Weyr, and helping to beef up their wings.

He almost misses the voice over his shoulder, glancing back quickly but not quite registering. “A fight between a bronze and a brown, an’ looks like they both--”

Wait.

Wait--!

“Shaffit, B’jor!” Wa’ren outright laughed, jumping to his feet and almost half climbing his seat to drag his son into a hug. He took note of the meek little greenrider at his elbow watching, but he can only grin, letting go of B’jor and sliding back into his seat. “I didn’t know you were coming.”

Kahbrohm - He/Him

Kahbrohm considered it, really. It pulled his attention from Blue Moon green for a moment as he looked at the bronze who told them all to step up. Perhaps it was even a briefly covetous look, because if there was a boy at High Reaches (or anywhere else) who didn't even briefly dream of a bronze for themselves, they were a liar.

But his pride was too strong to simply line up. If he wanted to look at him, he could come to him - even if that meant he came with claws.

-----

Midrymear - He/Him

Midrymear, however, had no such reservations if it meant he got more than a passing glance from a fine dragon of High Reaches, moved up to join the little group that Lisa Frank Bronze was making for himself. It was efficient, after all, and it wasn't as though once he was done the other dragons wouldn't come over and have their own looks upon them all.

-----
Juhvek - He/Him

Lisa Frank bronze, no matter how strong of a call it was, no matter how compelling it was, Juhvek didn't budge for it. The bronze had made his opinion on the man known when he'd touched his egg. Juhvek would not give him honor that he'd already said he didn't want. It was a waste of both of their time....but mostly of Juhvek's.

----

Beelim - He/Him

Beelim couldn't help but frown a bit at the command, but he didn't have much of a strong ego that told him it was particularly insulting to simply do as the bronze asked. So he joined the group, not much minding if it was the right thing for him in particular to do at that time or not. The baby was just lookin'. Why not?  

[Smerdle]

Vannek

No.

He had just been over this.

Vannek felt the Lisa Frank bronze's compulsion and swayed in the dragon's direction before tamping it down and remaining still. He would not be paraded around like some puppet. The young man turned to the twin greens instead, focusing on the pair with a singular curiosity as his thoughts tried to stray back toward the bronze.

 

[Zaikt]

Oh, hold on. Hold on. This? This was rude. More than rude--it was practically a betrayal, and just--the, the disrespect? How dare they? Not just the Lisa Frank Bronze, but Lojze as well--he'd simply walked away, as though the Eggplant Blue wasn't even there.

He'd remember that. He would absolutely remember that.

He snarled and bared his teeth, tail lashing as he lowered his head--the Blue's eyes were whirling pure red now, practically boring holes into Lojze's back. He'd been a little too right about sudden mood swings, whether he knew it or not.
And where do you think you're going? I didn't say you could leave.
