Sorsha / Western / she
That's a good attitude to have, Sorsha thought at the bright pink egg with a mental chuckle. I will take that to heart and try really hard not to be too excited. I hope you find the Candidate for you! Leaving the brightly colored egg, the girl moved on, wandering amongst the eggs until she settled upon the Charcoal egg. Hello! You are a nice big egg. I wonder what it's like inside?
*********
Tokki / Western / he
The young herbalist blinked. This egg wasn't the most rude he'd encountered, but it certainly wasn't friendly toward him, nevermind interested in him. "I'll leave you alone then, sorry to have disturbed you." With a shrug, Tokki removed his hand from the small egg and picked his way over to the Funfetti egg. "You look like a much more cheerful egg," he smiled softly. "How friendly are you, little one?"

Lelte
The positive feelings she got from the egg caused a big warm smile to cross her face. Such a good, happy feeling. Something she would continue to hold on to. Something perhaps she could in turn share with the others she touched. She didn't want to leave, but she knew there were others to, meet, and there were others who could use the chance to meet this particular egg. With one last gentle touch and a wave of fond feelings, she turned to walk to the next.
Though many had gone there, the next egg that caught her eye was Daisy. Placing a gentle hand on it's shell, she sent waves of kindness and happy thoughts its way. Hey there. You must be overwhelmed by all this attention, huh? There are a whole lot of people eager to meet you and your siblings.
Melhaika
The sharpness of the egg didn't bother him. One might say he was used to it from his early life. He lifted his hand from the egg thoughtfully. Perhaps the egg was right. Perhaps he was too closed off. But for one who was so used to depending on no and nothing but himself, to be any other way was hard. Even with the addition of the two lovely ladies in his life now. He had had to open himself up for them, but anyone else? How was he supposed to do that?
He might have to try to do things differently from now on. To try and open himself up, to be more vulnerable, though only the eggs would ever know. Because what if the one he was meant for didn't find him because of him? That was unacceptable. So from now on he would try...
Not sure where to go from the egg he had chosen to start with, he walked slowly and carefully between the eggs, walking this way and that. No one egg jumping out he decided to simply select one and try. Though it didn't seem to speak out to him the way others might have, Purple and White Swirl Egg was near enough, and seemed like a good bet. Taking a deep breath he reached out a tentative hand. So, uh... I'm not really good at this whole thing, but hi, I guess.

Eggshell Egg
The egg set a burst of support to Matotoka—it was all going to be okay, he’d see!—before shifting its focus to the next Candidate.
Mint Chocolate Chip Egg
Karunia would get the sense that it’d be much more exciting to witness Green Olive’s entrance, but after that the egg just seemed to wander off in pursuit of that fun idea.
Shining Star Egg
Whoever was inside the shell of Shining Star seemed to curl a bit jealously around the treasures it’d scooped from the minds of candidates. Maybe. But no promises! Neeeeext!
Shining Star Egg
Shining Star was all too eager to take Vesden up on his offer, and jumped right on in. Hrrm… Hmmm… Not quite as exciting as some of the others, but there’s definitely some good material there to work with.
Lothwolf For future eggs, please write the egg names in bold black as directed in the Touching rules on the first page, as that’s what we’re watching for when we go to respond, and we don’t want to miss anyone’s touches. Thank you! (:
Blue Cloud Egg
The egg continued to rifle until it stopped short, as if reaching the end of something, and gave the impression of a sag. Unsatisfied, it seemed to shoo the candidate away. Oh, great. Here comes another one. Meh.
Eggshell Egg
There was just a whisker of surprise at Meztli’s thoughts. Eggshell, daring? Ahaha! All those strange, colorful concoctions it could see in the candidate’s thoughts… now those must have taken courage to face!
Funfetti Egg
Cheerful? Is that the best you’ve got? This is the egg you’re talking to, buddy. See this amazing shell? Funfetti can’t, but someone else said it’s a spectacle. Oh, hmm. Looks like someone else in this “conversation” is wearing a shell, too. It’s nice, but Funfetti’s is way cooler.

Stormy - 19, she/her
Fair enough, she thought to Shining Star. Whoever was in there sounded like they’d be quite the storyteller when they grew up! Hopefully then they might decide to share even a snippet for a curious kind. She sent it well wishes and dusted the sand off as she stood.
Carefully picking her way through sand and candidate and egg, Stormy went and pressed a few fingers to Sunset as she gave a soft greeting, though she didn’t want to disturb its thoughts if it was in the middle of something. Much as it could be awkward, she looked forward to getting these little glimpses before the perfect match was made. Several here were curious ones to boot.
- - -
Karunia - 20, she/her
Oho, someone was a fan~ Or a good friend! Or both! Karunia grinned and pabbed the egg once, telling it that she looked forward to seeing them both in action before moving on.
“Ayyyy,” she said to Blue and Purple Paint when she was close enough to touch. “How’s it hanging? Or sitting I guess in your case. Lookin’ snug in the sand.“

Serfie was nervous, she was everytime she was at a touching or a hatching, how could she not be, but .. she was trying her best, doing her best, for A'iel, for A'ral, trying to be a GOOD candidate, despite everything, the longer she spent in the weyr, the less she wanted to go back to how she was living before she snuck in, she was sleeping well, she was even gaining curves, though she would never let herself get too complacent.
She listened to everything the candidatemasters said and gulpled, eyeing the golden mother of the clutch with apprehension ... and who could blame the (now only slightly) feral girl, but she had worked hard to deserve to be here, so she fought down the feeling, looked away from the mother and looked at the eggs, these were what she was here for, in one of these eggs, could be the one dragon meant for her, it hadn't happened yet.... which made her face crease into a frown as she approached, but the feeling of welcome from the brown father of the clutch chased away all bitter feelings.
Looking at Teth breifly, she smiled, took her place among the candidates moving around the clutch and went towards the one that caught her eye first, something about the Eggshell Egg drawing her, perhaps it was the outward plainness compared to the other eggs, she supposed what was on the outside didn't really matter though, as she touched the egg, it was what was on the inside that really mattered, especially to dragons.
~~~~~~~~~~
Helane was so nervous, she'd been told she hadn't been allowed to attend a few clutches at High Reaches due to the fact she had almost killed a poor baby by punching it's egg, she had been so mortified that it was more of a self punishment than anything, she buckled down hard, stayed rather quiet for a long time and had earned the right to Stand again but for Helane it was difficult, sme days she wanted to just give up and go home, back out onto the sea where she knew what was what but she knew she couldn't just give up, sure there had been no dragon babies that had wanted her ... yet... but surely someday... soon? ...
When the call had come that Western was to allow High Reaches candidates to attend this newest clutch Helane knew she had to go, she wanted it badly, she'd learned, was .. mostly, on a quieter level, and it had been drummed into her not to interfere AT ALL with any eggs or hatchlings come the hatching and she'd sworn to herself, when it came, she wasn't going to move a muscle, no matter how much a baby begged. So she had gotten a ride from a lovely rider pair, she'd thanked them and gone to stand among the candidates.
Her stomach dropped and she went pale at the warning from the candidatemaster of Western Weyr, she almost felt it was directed at her, if she was a more paranoid person, she would have felt eyes on her, but even so, she did wonder how many other candidates would remember her from that disastrous hatching... made more heartbreaking by the betweening of that poor baby who's rider had been a mauled candidate. She took a deep breath, tried to empty her thoughts and moved out among the eggs, trying not to think about anything in particular as she reached her hand out to touch the egg that attracted her the most, the Night Sky Egg reminded her of nighttime fishing trips, of the open sea, she missed her home but that didn't mean she wasn't glad to be here.

Farellen was excited, just as he always was whenever a clutch was ready for a touching, his dragon could be here, he was so sure his dragon was here SOMEDAY, perhaps this time, perhaps not but he was sure, the one that he was meant for, would be here one of these days. He worked so hard with his firelizard faire to compensate for his missing eye, he was outwardly so confident that it wouldn't matter but deep down he wondered if he had been ruined forever for a dragon, sure he knew riders with missing parts but they had been riders before the part had gone... He smartened up when A'ral gave out a warning to the candidates, he was less pleased that High Reaches had been invited to Stand, especially one in particular, but he was reminded, as he adjusted his eyepatch, that she hadn't been the only candidate in the world to have put dragonet lives in danger with their actions, still he looked at the frizzy haired candidate with distaste, he'd tried to stop dragons fighting .. SHE had punched an egg...He shook his head and tried to ignore her, tried to ignore the feelings inside of whether he was worth of a dragon looking his way, as he made his way towards the Gay Flag Egg and laying a hand on it's brightly coloured rainbow shell.

Vesden || High Reaches || He/Him
Hmm. Well, that was almost as unsettling as when the charcoal egg did it. Not the he minded, he did offer after all and today was about the eggs and what they needed in meeting the candidates. He wished the egg good luck with its hatching and quickly moved on.
As much as he hated to pick favorites while the little ones were still in their shells, Vesden found himself glancing back at the blue spotted egg now and then. Everyone probably had a favorite, didn't they? It wasn't as though he expected to impress his first time, he knew better than to set himself up for disappointment like that and of course it was reasonable that the first one he touched would be his favorite... still, he'd be very interested in seeing that one in particular hatch.
Next egg... the swirly one was pretty, and when he reached the purple and white swirl egg he realized it also felt very nice. What a soft gentle feeling he got from this little egg! He was a too busy for a moment marveling at it to think anything coherent in response, petting the shell gently and just appreciating it.
You're going to be a lovely dragon, aren't you...
OOC: Got it, no fancy colors. Sorry! Thank you for all the effort you guys are putting into this. heart

Vosin/Gold Killakeeth
Do not fret Vosinmine. There are many eyes upon them, they will not misstep with my clutch. The gold soothed her rider. Vosin smiled, wasn’t she supposed to be soothing the dragon? I know, and I know the candidatemasters have given them stern lessons and lectures on it. I just want this day for you to be perfect.
Vos smiled at the candidates to help put them at easy in case any were nervous. A scowling goldrider wasn’t a good sign. Things were going smoothly far as she could tell. Killakeeth was calm, and the eggs were holding out fine.
Killakeeth rested behind the eggs, keeping her eyes on the candidates and eggs themselves. She did glance patiently at Teth for his exuberance. Don’t distract the candidates too much, Teth. They must focus on the eggs for now. If they wish to give us pets afterwards though, I won’t say no. Killa rumbled softly with amusement at her mate.
Vosin nodded to Jaiyce as she saw him pass by. She wondered what he’d make of the eggs and the Touching. Another new, familiar face, Vosin smiled to Tostokki, then to Kyzier. Her eyes scanned over the mingling candidates.

Candy Cane Egg: This egg would press back against Aelyx and give a wave of support and encouragement. All that confidence the egg seemed to ooze would wash over the girl like a shroud. Now this is someone the egg liked! Be true to yourself and reach for the stars--this egg is sure Aelyx will go far!
Teal and Yellow Spiral Egg: The egg would lean against Wren's touch, nothing but delight pouring from it. Oh ho! What a treat. Well, this egg's current pleasure is getting all the touches. So if Wren could just keep on doing what he's doing, that would be best. And maybe invite friends. And tell this egg all about his pleasures, oh ho ho! Oh, and if he he could touch just a little harder and a little more near the top. Yes. Excellent.
Purple & White Swirl Egg: The egg, who had been feeling so slighted, immediately brightened when a hand touched its shell. Oh! Oh, did Ketaleel come over because they wished to or because it had... it had been upset? It hadn't meant to force anyone over, truly! Either way, it was entirely grateful for the Candidate to give it a moments notice! The egg would lean against the other, raw gratitude and pleasure mixed together with its previous joy.
Nanner Egg: The egg would keep exuding nothing but calmness, though it would shift a bit beneath her hand. Does Fisher not like her current home? What's stopping her from going home? Does she want an ocean or a dragon? ...maybe if she's lucky she'll get both.
Purple & White Swirl Egg: Oh! Oh another Candidate! How sweet, and kind, and wonderful of Omurntas to touch this egg! The purple egg would send nothing but awe and gratitude back at the Candidate. Such a kindness could never be repaid! .. nevermind that the egg had all but begged for attention.
Blue & Black Rosette Egg: The egg would immediately acknowledge the girl as soon as Aryale touched its shell. It is meeting a few, though not as many as it knows is out and about. But just you wait... This egg doesn't need hands on it to know what must be done or who to seek in which to conquer the world. Once this blasted shell is torn apart, the world will never be the same... And what of Aryale? Have they met good people? ...Hmm. Tut. The egg doesn't like that memory. Noted. Duly noted. And if a flash of red hot ire could be felt beneath Aryale's hand--not at her, but at someone else--it could not be helped.
Charcoal Egg: The egg would certainly turn to study Allamor but wouldn't give much up. A small acknowledgment, nothing more, nothing less.
Teal & Yellow Spiral Egg: Oh honey, this egg hasn't had a better day in its life--but it would be amazingly better if Nuamia would rub in circular patterns. Oh yes, just like that. Perfection. You've a healers hands, you know, and they certainly work wonders on this shell. What a doll you are!
Night Sky Egg: Oh yeah! Another one. Of course this egg is beautiful--it'll be even more beautiful and impressive once its out of this egg. As for what'll happen, well... It'll break its egg, that's what, and... crack it open. Now do it a favor and tell it some more how wonderful it is.
Bone Egg: The egg would immediately push itself hard against Nikal, sizing the other up with clear judgment. What it thinks about others isn't important; what is important is how it thinks about you and right not, this egg can tell much work needs to be done. Quit hiding who you are, and start accepting what will be, will be. There's more to you than you realize, if you'd get your head out of your a**. Just because you haven't gotten to where you want to be, doesn't mean you're not already on your way up. Bone Egg believes in Nikal even if Nikal doesn't believe in himself.
Nanner Egg: ....The egg seems to stare at Dhawsn and even rolls back just a bit from the other. It is clearly unimpressed and worse, not at all amused.
Blue & Black Rosette Egg: This egg would stare long and hard at Xanael. Orders are orders, and Xanael is right to follow them. A small touch of approval would touch the other, faint, but clearly for the young man. Now tell this egg, are you here to follow or lead?
Teal & Yellow Spiral Egg: That's the spot! RIGHT THERE! Oh yeah, you know how to touch an egg! Keep on doing that, exactly that. To say that Rio had brightened the egg's day was an understatement; Rio would be hit with a wall of joy and pleasure at the sensation. Yeah, you stay right here with it and keep on doing what you're doing. This egg approves.
Blue & Black Rosette Egg: The egg would turn to study Bukichi. A big day, yes, but even bigger days are coming. The egg sends a waves of approval at the other, though it's much more subtle than some of the other eggs. Perhaps a new future is in store for Bukichi.
Purple & White Swirl Egg: Oh! Oh yet another one... Such words, such kindness, such feeling! The egg would lean into Phyrana's touch, sending nothing but genuine pleasure towards the other. And this egg is absolutely certain everyone here would love to meet Phyrana, too! Truly! Such a beauty. Such strength. Such class. And Phyrana can well tell that this little egg means it.
Charcoal Egg The egg would study Huarwar with amusement. So you assume its motives then and why it sits where it sits and acts as it acts? If an egg could laugh it would have. Instead, it would nudge the boy's hand but otherwise let him be to carry on.
Teal & Yellow Spiral Egg: Why hello there, gorgeous! Why don't you just keep on a touchin', than you. Have you met this egg's other wonderful friends? Oh yes, a little bit closer to the top, thank you. Now aren't we all having fun? The egg would send nothing but pleasure and joy at Keleres only too happy to gobble up all of this attention.
Charcoal Egg: The egg would lean a bit against Tostokki and the large man would certainly feel himself being watched. Still, there is a sense of gratitude, and perhaps approval, that runs over the other like a light shroud. Still, this egg has its opinions, and it will keep them well to itself.
Night Sky Egg: The egg would lean against Lesta and enjoy the girl's touch. Welcome to the Best Egg To Ever Egg! Does she feel good? Because she TOTALLY SHOULD! There is no better egg than this one. This egg is on top. Well, it's actually on sand, but it is almost like being on top!
Blue & Black Rosette Egg: The egg would regard Vitryx with a sharp look. No need to be shy. This egg would give the boy a small hint of approval, the equivalent of a nod. That said, the other seemed entirely more interest and invested in the others around the egg, than the egg itself. So perhaps it was time to let him carry on.
Night Sky Egg: WHY HELLO! The pleasure and happiness that radiated from the egg would wrap around Orryxa like a warm blanket. It is a beautiful egg, isn't it? Best of the bunch, and don't you forget it! Since you've found yourself at the Most Important Egg on the sands, perhaps you'd stick around? No sense settling for second best now that you've met Number One!
Charcoal Egg: The egg would give a bemused snort, and lean against Sorsha's hand. Dark, would be the answer, before the being inside retreated.
Purple & White Swirl Egg: This egg would wrap all the affection and fondness into Melhaika. Oh! You are doing so wonderful. Don't be shy, don't be afraid. You are perfect and strong enough to let others in... They won't harm you, they won't hurt you. Let love in, so others can adore you, too. The egg's praise was nothing but sincere, even as it leaned against the boy, encouragement dripping off its every word.
Night Sky Egg: How many hands were on it now? Well, it didn't matter, because this egg would be happy to have more. A true party, just like the Candidate claimed...if touching and admiring is what consists of a party! Welcome to The Only Egg That Matters because this egg is it. Metzli would find themself practically brought into the equivalent of a hug. Oh yeah. If you're only going to remember one egg this Touching, remember it!
Blue & Black Rosette Egg: Was it ready to do it's job?! The egg would give a very sudden and rather impressive lurch, leaning hard against Brenley. The Candidate would feel all of the eggs attention on it, but also a surge of joy and power. Oh yes this egg was ready! If only it wasn't in this egg. What of this one? Was Brenley prepared for the battle to come?
Bone Egg The egg would take one long look at Leiheti. There's a nudge of approval, though not much else. The warmth of some Candidate isn't what this egg necessarily wants.
Night Sky Egg: Though Helane might have been nervous, she would be hit hard with the wave of joy from this egg. Step right on up! No need to be shy. This egg has no judgment because you came to see IT! And IT is happy to see you! Really now, there's nothing to worry about.... Nothing but good, awesome, happy times here! Oh yeah!
Purple & White Swirl Egg: Oh!! Vesden would find himself encircled with nothing but warmth and fondness. Oh, and you are the sweetest, most kind Candidate to say such a thing! The egg would press happily against the other, sending nothing but joy at the boy. How kind, and good of you to say hello to this one!

Brown Paw Print Egg
He was the one who was cute, was the vague impression. Coming right up to the egg and pointing out what was obvious. But perhaps he had better sense than some of these others. Did he think he was worthy of its attention? Probably not.
Blue and Purple Paint Egg
Well, that was more like it. Yes, he should thank it for existing. For a moment, the egg actually felt... a bit mollified. Then it remembered that it was being touched. Now stop breathing its air.
Daisy Egg
Suddenly all of the feelings were happening right at the egg! The egg... didn't know quite what to do. It softly brushed against Astriana's hand before retreating all the farther into its shell.
Green Olive Egg
Hello. The egg was a bit curious about why it seemed to be receiving all of these welcomes for merely existing, but... it was a nice sentiment, it supposed. Not a bad one. Welcome, Lauthisen.
Gay Flag Egg
Oh! Oh, how nice! What a lovely image! Oh, the egg liked that. Could they think about more... nice things? Nice, calming waves. It had never seen waves before, but it knew they existed. By description only, you understand.
Blue and Purple Paint Egg
... What was she going on about? Yes, the egg liked the thought of water, maybe, but really, wasn't she here to touch its shell? Not to drone on about things it had never seen before?
Sunset Egg
Oh... it was all right, it supposed. The egg gave a dreamy little sigh. What a nice warm spot it had here. Did she like the Sands?
Daisy Egg
The quiet voice drew the little dragonet within the egg out, so that its awareness brushed across Vasadryx's hand. It was a brief touch, but held a tinge of gratitude.
Gay Flag Egg
H... Hello? Suddenly anxious, yet eager to please, the egg tried to put its best... shell... forward. Yet this seemed to backfire, and the egg almost rolled in place. Oh dear!
Please. Please don't... don't judge it too harshly.
Hot Pink 80s Egg
It was a handsome egg, wasn't it? Wasn't she the clever one for noticing. It supposed that they were all beautiful eggs, in their own way. So was she!
Ace Flag Egg
Not with an attitude like that, he wasn't. Next.
Daisy Egg
Oh. The shy presence within the egg retreated for a moment, before seeming to peek out. Did they have to want to meet it so badly? It wasn't sure it was ready.
Sunset Egg
It didn't mind being disturbed. However, that was difficult to do when there were so many things on its mind. So much to take in.
Blue and Purple Paint Egg
...
The egg didn't even want to dignify that with a response. But it did deign to look Karunia over. It was not sitting. Resting, maybe. Which was very dull, thank you. Especially now.
Sunset Egg
The infant within happily followed the meandering of his thoughts, sometimes offering up curiosity regarding a direction they were tending. This was more fun than egg touching.
Gay Flag Egg
It... it wasn't sure. There was good, there was bad...
It was all around a bit on the overwhelming side. Didn't he think so?
Gay Flag Egg
Maybe this time... he'd be lucky. Maybe this time...
For the first time...
Oh, what was the silly egg even thinking? The candidate probably wouldn't like a song about him. Radiating anxious energy, the infant within the shell sent a shy greeting to Farellen.
Hot Pink 80s Egg
The egg gave the impression of a languid stretch. It was already twisted in inside the shell... why worry about anything else?
