Welcome to Gaia! ::

There were so many! Ichta! Ichtamine!! Did you get to meet any of them at the party? Aurinkoth practically pranced about the Weyrbowl around the young woman, who watched him with a smile. “I didn’t, Aurinkoth. I saw them, though,” she answered, laughing as the blue bumped his head up against his beloved’s chest with a soft cheep of affection. It had been quite the hatching to watch, but after all the excitement and partying and politics were over, she knew which hatching had been her favorite.

Mine too! he agreed readily, though Ichta felt his bias leaned the same direction hers did.

Still, his excitement was so palpable, it would have been impossible for her to feel even slightly blue. I’ll be blue for you! Aurinkoth offered and Ichta booped his nose lovingly before he went prancing off again. “Don’t get into too much trouble, you!” she warned, knowing fully well that he was likely to find somebody - anybody - to go say hello to. And to tell them about all of the babies again.

New friend spotted!

Aurinkoth let out a happy bugle as he all but skipped towards Kalikath, despite not knowing him, with Ichta close on his heels. What did you think of all of the babies? he asked with nary an introduction, already content to just radiate his natural sunshine all over the brown. Ichta was already looking very apologetic for her overly talkative blue. She couldn't find it in her to be annoyed by his friendly nature, however.

Aurinkoth seemed completely appeased with this answer, practically vibrating with excitement. It was only Ichta's firm mental grip that kept him from pushing into a stream of questions. You asked your one question, she reminded gently. There were a lot! It was very exciting. Were my siblings and I as exciting? That's more than one. Did you see us too? Aurinkoth. Stop.

Maybe she didn't have him on as tight of a 'don't be a pest' leash as she'd thought.

She brushed off any stressing about it, mostly for her own sanity. "Oh, that's no problem. It doesn't bother Mine at all." Offering a slight bow at Ahlalei's introduction, Ichta quickly offered one of her own; "I am Ichta of blue Aurinkoth. The morning was very exciting! It was my first chance to watch a hatching since he hatched."

The odd, ominously worded statement seemed to only excite the blue, who did an excited spin in place before settling in place - barely. Was your hatching as exciting? he asked eagerly, nearly vibrating where he sat.

"No, the last few we were training - and I have no complaints about that," as Ichta spoke, she reached out to run a hand idly over Aurinkoth's hide, tracing the faint scoring that had marked them both true riders against Threadfall. "Well, if he chooses to ignore mine, I am sure Aurinkoth can talk enough for both of them," a pointed look was turned on the blue, who simply didn't seem to mind.
