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

[Tsunake]

Hunthyex - He/Him

His eyes flickered to the side for a moment, assessing Vannek quickly before returning to the two rocking eggs--one of which he'd had very much enjoyed meeting. "I couldn't even begin to say. I've heard bronze is good luck." He offered a brief smile to take any unfriendliness out of his words. "Are you hoping for a particular color?"

Hunthyex had heard plenty of big talk about people saying what they'd do if approached by a white or green. Please. As though they'd turn their nose up if a dragon bothered to look their way.

Oranie - She/Her

"A few." She didn't mind admitting, flashing Juhvek a smile. There had been many eggs that seemed thrilled for the attention, and she'd been equally thrilled to give it to them. She didn't know if that really counted as a meaningful connection, however. She would glance to her sister curiously. Maybe Elibrie had found one egg she'd fallen for...?

Miomellai - She/Her

Miomellai snorted at that, her eyes locked onto the two eggs beginning to wobble and stir. "No." She could have left it at that, just to spite him... but relented enough to keep going. "It won't matter. If it's meant to be, then it'll be perfect."

She did finally glance to him, challenging him with a stare. "You?"

Jihiro - He/Him

"Yeah, I remember you hanging out with that one..." He murmured, his tone a bit reverent as he watched the eggs twitch. "Maybe that's the one meant for you then." It would surprise Jihiro one bit, really.

A'zota

He'd been waiting to hear her voice, so he'd naturally buried the desire deep down while beginning to assist in the preparations for the incoming new Weyrlings. Hauling up buckets of meat, he paused to look at her, quietly taking her in. "Find a decent one." He commented after a moment, casual and indifferent if not for his focused, dark stare. "Never know how long they'll decide to take."

Ask her how she's been. Eriath chided, well aware of how her rider's mind worked.

There would be time for that later, though. Right now, he was busy, and she needed to go. Still, before he turned away, he found himself speaking again. "I'll find you at the Feast." And since he'd said it, that meant he had to do it.

Finnisa - HR - She/Her
"That's fair enough. Sometimes they seem completely different when they hatch to when you meet them." Her eyes stayed fixed on Lisa Frank for the most part, although she glanced briefly around at the others wiggling. You never wanted to miss when one finally opened up, and not just because there was always a risk of accidents or bad tempers. "I'm sure sooner or later the right one will come by. And if not, well, it's not the end of the world, right?" Of course, she was pretty sure it would still feel like the end of the world, to age out. Some things, when you wanted them so very badly, hurt deeply when you didn't get them, or lost them. She wasn't going to sugarcoat that. "I'd like that, of course. I liked that egg a lot, and obviously anyone would love to have their own dragon come to them. But it'd be nice if we both could. We've been a bit in-rhythm so far... maybe the luck will hold for us both, and just... turn for the better?"


Zelaya - HR - She/Her/They/Them
Zelaya listened silently to Nala and Lojze's discussion, the faintest of smiles hovering on her mouth. She'd hope for their dragons to be in this clutch, though it did seem silly to assume that the largest eggs would shell the largest dragons. Some lines ran in twins, after all, and others ended up more cramped, or with excess room. There was no real way to tell, and no matter what was shelled from where, she was sure they would be perfect just as they were. Blue Moon's tapping and chipping caught her attention a bit more than the rest—that one had been the first of this clutch that she'd touched, after all. It was taking its time though, which was also fine. "I'm sure that all of them will be wonderful, once they find theirs, of course," she added at length. "I'd be glad to be chosen by any of them. Who wouldn't?"

Oh, was it time already?

It supposed it must be, since everyone was here, and others of its siblings were starting to give this hatching thing a go. Red and White Toadstool Egg gave the very slightest of wobbles, more of a test than anything. Hmm...

Hmmmmm.....

No, now was really not the time, even if others were doing it. It could stand to wait awhile yet.  

[Tsunake]

The Sunshine Egg shivered, tipping gently back towards Lisa Frank Egg as it did so. Whoever was inside was beginning to stir, and small cracks would appear on the colorful shell.

Candidate Nalacko - HR, she/her
Sunshine a bronze? Anything was possible until they broke shell. As long as they were health dragonets and found their riders quickly, then she’d be happy. She watched Happy Ghost roll to its side. Definitely not ready to come out yet. Nala smiled.

“But what if your dragon was disappointed in you?” She whispered to Zelaya, thinking of Moo Cow’s disappointment in her. She wouldn’t want to disappoint her dragon. More and more eggs were starting to wiggle. Some continued the effort. Some, like Toadstool, seemed content to wait a bit longer. She noted when Sunshine tipped lightly towards the Lisa Frank, who was one that was giving it some effort.

The Candidates were gathering, there was humming, and it was time! The Eggplant Egg was well aware, and it intended to make an entrance. The Lisa Frank Egg had been enough of a cue, and Eggplant didn't need to be told twice.

Unfortunately, despite its best efforts, all it did was just...shift in place, a few cracks spiderwebbing over the shell under the strain of an eager dragonet. Nothing of the hatchling inside was visible yet, but--perhaps soon?

Heleste She/her - High Reaches

The eggs were starting to wiggle and crack! No were showing yet but soon, Heleste was certain. She spotted Kedriom nearby and waved. Moving over she asked, “Isn’t this grand?” too excited to keep quite or still. She was vibrating with excitement still. “Look at all of them wiggle! Which do you think will hatch first?”

Vannek

"Not really. Every dragon is a good one." He was going to have trouble getting where he wanted to be on a blue or green, but they would make it work.

With the rules in mind Vannek went silent, watching all the little eggs twitching and wiggling. He was too new to this to be anything but excited, even though he was well aware that any one of these hatchlings could easily tear out his throat.

Rahmsii


Rahmsii was now no stranger now to the captivating rush that fell over High Reaches when dragons began to hum. He was quick to change into his robes and to hush his firelizards. They would behave and stay put, but the green and brown flits did not have to like it. Blood gave him a particularly haughty honk, as if to promise his pillow would be defeathered. He ran his fingers through his hair, getting the long mop to stay some semblance of tamed. Presentable, proper.

He was quick to fall in place with his candidate class, his heart pounding in his throat. It was time! The many eggs he had Touched on his mind as he bowed to the clutch parents. Would one of them be first to hatch? Perhaps they were one of the first to be wiggling!  

[ShinosBee]

Zelaya - HR - She/Her/They/Them
She immediately shook her head. "Then it wouldn't be your dragon, I don't think." Sure, a dragon could be disappointed in a rider, but now, at this age? At the moment of choice and impression? She couldn't fathom a dragon looking at their person and going oh, so this is what I have to have? It just couldn't happen. The dragon would choose someone else, or between, wouldn't it? It was just an impossibility in her mind. "I don't think you should worry about that. Your dragon, when it comes, will love you wholly for all that you are." She said it with the calm conviction of fact that she felt for all such dragon-related, Weyr-related things. It had been drummed into her from birth, and ran in her blood. Thread would fall. The sun would come up. A dragon would love its rider, and always pick the right person for them. That was simply how things were, and that surety was comforting.

Slowly at first and then with more fervor, the Avocado Egg actually shook. Back and forth it rocked with force for the span of a few heartbeats and then settled once more, listing to the side on the sands that had shifted beneath it.

Not just yet then. But soon.  

[magnadearel]

Candidate Nalacko - HR, she/her
Nala watched the eggs thoughtfully as she considered what Zelaya said. There was a good point there. Was it better to have a disappointed dragon, or no dragon to disappoint? Well it was probably a moot point. She smiled to herself. Nala wanted to check the stands and see if her friends were up there watching. There was no reason to think they wouldn’t be.

It was nice to have reassuring people standing with her this time. Another egg decided to join the wiggle dance. Nala nodded towards Avocado. “They are sure getting into the groove.”
