It was Touching Day. Touching, with a Capital T according to Teth, and the brown dragon could hardly keep himself contained. His rider, on the other hand, was the more subdued of the pair as he made his way towards the hatching sands. Honestly he didn't think he needed to be there at all but the sheer amount of excitement that poured off Teth was more than enough to make him change his mind. Killakeeth had enough to worry about, what with Candidates getting up close and personal with her children; the last thing she needed was an over-eager Teth ruining it for everyone.
~~~~
Killakeeth rumbled soothingly to her mate. She gently nosed her eggs, to ensure their positioning for the Touching. It was finally the day. Don’t worry Teth, the candidates will behave. Or Else. The gold settled herself behind the clutch. She would be watching all of them very closely.
Vosin nodded to F’ell as he joined the group for the event. “Ready for the fun?” She leaned on the rail, the children would be arriving soon. There was a couple she was looking forward to watching a couple. “Anyone you know standing?”
~~~~
F'ell gave a nod and a shrug in equal measure to Vosin's questions. Yes, he knew a few candidates who would be standing but beyond that, did it matter? Him knowing who they were didn't mean they'd Impress to an egg, no matter how much Teth was Betweenbent on believing in it. Plus, if he was absolutely honest, most anyone he knew happened to be friends of Teth. F'ell didn't have friends, or at least he didn't think he did.
As for Teth, he moved around between a few of the eggs as well, careful not to touch them or risk Killakeeth snapping at him. She had an order for things and he had promised to be a good boy about this. Good boys, Teth had been told, didn't get kicked out of the Touching. They're all good!!! So good, the eggs and the people coming!! Do you think the babies will like them??? I love lots of the candidates they're my best friends I hope our babies like them too!!! All his excited chattering had him settling behind the massive gold in a spot that had become like a second home over the past few months. I'm ready!!! When you are of course, I can't wait!!! Do you think the candidates will give me pets too??? And you too, because you're lovely and should be loved too.
F'ell was so sure his dragon was misunderstanding the actual full meaning of a Touching, and he shot his brown a look.
~~~~
There was a couple candidate she had high hopes for this time, and Vosin knew Killakeeth did too. She lapsed back into silence as the candidates started to arrive. All of us will keep an eye on them so they aren’t too rough, she reassured the gold, who was looking intently at the first (unfortunate) arrivals.
Killakeeth was not going to move from her vantage point unless action was necessary. As long as Teth didn’t disturb the eggs and didn’t interfere with her observation of the candidates touching, he would be allowed to remain. We will watch just to be sure Teth. She was fairly confident the candidates would be on their best behaviors today. They only need to like one, she replied amused. All they needed was one rider.
The gold gave Teth’s shoulder a friendly boop as he past beside her. We are ready Vosin. They may begin then they have sorted themselves out. Killakeeth rumbled with laughter, they might. I believe they are mainly here for the eggs though, but if some wish to pet us then I shan’t deny it. Thank you Teth.
Vosin nodded and waved to the candidatemaster to signal they could begin.
~~~~
Teth radiated happiness from his post, just as much as F'ell did sullenness, and bright lavender eyes swept over all the candidates who arrived. Welcome!!!! Make sure you're nice to our babies!!! The brown boomed the greeting that should have come from Killakeeth, but no matter. This was a happy and joyous occasion!!

"We've been training on this for some time," A'ral said, addressing the Candidates of both Weyrs. "I expect that you will be on your best behavior. If I or F'dral discover otherwise, this is your final warning. One more toe out of line, and I am not joking, you will be ousted from the Weyr. If you are a weyrbrat, you just will not be allowed to Stand for any future clutches. Have I made myself clear? More lives than your own depend upon your good behavior."
Standing with his arms crossed, the Western Candidatemaster wore an uncharacteristically stern expression. "Danzik and T'nus will also be watching you. Remember that you represent Western and High Reaches. Every action you take will count for or against you. It will be on your permanent record. If you weren't paying attention during lessons, the rules are very simple. Don't upset the eggs. Don't linger too long on a single egg. Don't be loud. Don't even think about reprimanding an egg, or I swear by Faranth's golden hide, it will be the last time you ever go near one. These are young minds, children. They are still malleable. Welcome them."
- - - -
Closes: TBD. A'ral will call the Candidates back to the barracks, and F'dral will usher the High Reaches kids back home. If your dragonrider was a transport, they are welcome to sit in the stands to watch. They also can linger in the Bowl or near the mouth of the entrance. Riders may either write PRPs or, if they're near the Hatching Sands or in the stands, can RP here. We'll leave it a little organic but if you want folks to touch the eggs, now's the time to do it!
Welcome to the Secret Clutch!
Please keep the following rules in mind.
IC Action will result in IC Consequence. Remember this!
You will not get to break or crack the eggs. Don't even try. If an egg is meant to break or crack, staff will dictate this.
Misbehaving now can get a character banned from the Hatching itself or kicked out as a Candidate. Don't test A'ral, F'dral or staff!
Staff will try to respond to ICly to individuals touching the eggs. Depending on RL and time, we cannot guarantee a response to every post,but we will try! We will guarantee responses to at least two or three of your posts -- so make sure if you want your Candidate to meet an egg in particular that you have it be one of their first.
Please make sure you mention which egg your character is touching by the proper name and in bold type i.e The Hot Pink 80s Egg
Do not move your Candidate on once they touch a egg until you get a reply! If you move them on before staff responds, we will not write a response!
Please keep in mind that you might not get to all the eggs. IC events might cause the eggs to be untouchable or for it to end early. If you have a favorite egg I would suggest touching it early because we will not keep this open or delay closing once we're ready to move on.
Please do not edit or backdate which egg you touched. We'll try to keep things moving in the RP.
If you feel staff has missed responding to your touching post, please PM/DM either Uta or Mr Cheri. Note: Cheri prefers DMs, as he has a mostly full inbox. We'll quote individuals with their eggs response but please understand that it might take some time. Give us a day or two, as we both have RL jobs and aren't always able to sign online daily.
We will move slowly due to how many eggs need to be touched AND the fact that we have less time than we used to!
You will not likely touch every egg OOCly. So pick your favorites and get your Candidate to them! We cannot guarantee responses to from every egg to every Candidate due to the size. We will get to as many as possible, but to keep us from suffering burnout, we may need to wrap well before all the eggs are touched.
If something goes wrong ICly or the Queen gets upset, the Touching could close early!
Please remember your Candidates have been TRAINED on how to act around the eggs! Don't play them like fools or idiots because this is IMPORTANT to them. They could get banned from Candidacy if they act poorly during a Touching or barred from the Hatching. They all know better, whether they are new to the Weyr or not!
It is okay if you don't touch all the eggs! You can either claim they did and got no response OR that they didn't bother with all of them and that's okay too. Not every egg has to be touched.
You may join in or make new characters as long as the Touching is running. Once it closes, it will be assumed that all Candidates participated whether they actually did so ICly or not.
Due to the size of the clutch, we ask you only bring in Candidates that you want to have eligible for the Hatching!
You do not have to participate in the Touching to have a shot at Impressing from the clutch.
You may RP with others while touching eggs or waiting for responses. You may also have your characters remove themselves to the sidelines or the stands to chatter. Candidate should not leave the Hatching Sands though. If they do not wish to continue, they can sit quietly in the tiers until A'ral and F'dral usher them to leave.
Once again, for sake of RP it is encouraged to touch one egg, and not move on to another until you are given a Staff Response. If your Candidate leaves the egg before the response, you won't get one at all.
Any other questions? PM Uta or Mr Cheri
Clutch Specifics
Don't linger near an egg for more than one response! One response is about all you'll get. Why? Because longer responses only add to our burnout. You might be able to linger if the RP is appropriate, but you're only ensured one actual reply from a staffer.
If your Candidate lingers too long at an egg, A'ral or F'dral, one of the Candidatemaster Seconds or Assistants might move you on.
We are NOT limiting how many eggs you can touch, but just assume you will NOT touch them all. So we still suggest you pick your favorites first! ICly, your Candidate likely had time to touch them all, but OOCly we just can't manage that with this big of a clutch and so many Candidates! So get your favorites out of the way early or be satisfied that you might not get to see the egg in the Touching.
Teiha will be helping us run some the eggs this time. That said, if she is unable to keep up, burns out, or replies aren't going out in a timely fashion Uta and Cheri might respond on her behalf or take back movement of the egg.
We will shut this down ICly if things get out of hand, if the gold gets upset, or the eggs get upset. Please, remember, this is a Big Deal for your characters. Even new Candidates will have been told how to behave, what to do, what not to do, and the consequences if they break these rules!
Again, nobody leaves the Sands even when they're done Touching the eggs. Just go sit in the tiers and wait. Riders may also sit in the tiers or hang out in the Bowl to socialize or wait for their wards to finish so they can return to High Reaches.

Introducing.... A Mystery Clutch!
Killakeeth x Teth (brown)
3575.06.12
37 Eggs // 23 PC // 14 NPC
Purple Flying Heart Egg: A large friendly egg right in the middle of the clutch. It seems genuinely happy to be a growing egg. Eggeggeggeggeggegg!
Hot Pink 80s Egg: Those who gather around this medium egg will feel themselves begin to unwind. Take a load off, and hang out with it!
Ace Flag Egg: A small egg that seems utterly, terribly, most magnificently... bored.
Brown Paw Print Egg: A medium egg that carries an air of challenge, judging and weighing anyone who approaches. You get the sense that it finds you very... quaint.
Purple and White Swirl Egg: This small egg that exudes nothing but warmth and love to all who approach. Don't be shy, all are welcome!
Blue and Purple Paint Egg: A small egg that does not appreciate the way that you are touching that other egg. Yes, that one. Excuse you, notice me senpai. Rude.
Bone Egg: A small egg that isn't here to take any of your s**t. There's a sharpness to this egg, so beware any who draw near.
Blue and Black Rosette Egg A large egg that seems to be ever vigilant and watchful. This egg is alert, and ready for whatever might come.
Daisy Egg: This small sized egg seems rather shy, and is definitely much more quiet than the rest. Please don't... don't judge it too much.
Nanner Egg: A small egg that seems to exude a calm air about it.
Green Olive Egg: A large egg that seems a bit restless, yet curious and quite bold. This egg is both welcoming and supportive.
Eggshell Egg: This medium sized egg seems to tremble with excitement and good-feelings. Every now and then it gives a little, or big, twitch.
Blue Cloud Egg: This small egg almost seems to be muttering whenever anyone comes near, but you can't quite make out what it is saying.
Shining Star Egg: This small egg seems to have a curious air about it. Why not come over and say hello?
Teal and Yellow Spiral Egg: A medium egg that wants all the touches, please. Yes, even yours.
Sunset Egg: This small egg seems to be lost in its own world. Perhaps you'll draw it out of its shell?
Mint Chocolate Chip Egg: A medium sized egg that beckons you closer. This egg wants a better look, thanks!
Charcoal Egg A large egg at the back of the clutch. This one is very guarded but every now and then, you get the feeling you're being watched.
Blue Spotted Egg: A medium that seems to be pondering something very deeply. It's not clear whether it has noticed your approach.
Funfetti Egg: A medium egg that draws the eye immediately. All eyes over here!
Gay Flag Egg This small egg really wants to meet you... but it's having vapors right now. Oh Faranth! So many people!
Night Sky Egg: A medium sized egg that exudes nothing but good-vibes. Come check this one out!
Candy Cane Egg: A small egg that seems to exude nothing but confidence.

Candidate Aelyx : Western : She/Her
Oh, by Faranth it was time again. Aelyx would be lying if she said she wasn't afraid. This might well be one of her last times standing, for her heart was entwined with a man who'd lost so much. However, today was not the day to think of this. Today was a day to devote her mind to joy, to smiles, to peace. No reason to let such lovely little Eggs feel her own anxiety, fear, or sadness. She would be the paragon of Candidate virtue, and would not disappoint A'ral. The last few hatchings had been so...chaotic. Her hope, for this clutch, was for a hatchling to find favor for Huarwar. Nothing about herself really mattered....But still she was excited to try. Ah, time to see what awaited within those shells. A bow to the parents and their riders was deep and respectful, the green tips of her hair re-colored to glimmer brightly in the light above the sands.
Always should look your best for such huge occasions.
Moving around the clutch, it took her a moment before she made a decision of what she was going to do...of who she might approach. It was the Sunset Egg that got her first brush of fingers. She waited for it to come to her, for Aelyx was not the sort to intrude on another's territory without permission. "Sorry if even my touch is too much. I hope you're not too overwhemed."
Candidate Wren : Western : He/Him
A touching was where pretty little Wren got to shine, or so he thought. He put on the appropriate attire, clipped a few of his precious pieces on him. Today was about the Eggs, true, and yet well...Hm. No reason for Wren not to look his best~. He'd delivered a kiss to his N'ceph (for the man was his, whether he was sure of that yet or not), and been on his way. A'ral's lecture didn't go unheeded, but that was not where Wren's attention was. It was on the clutch, on the beautiful, BEAUTIFUL babies that had been laid. Hm. Once the lecture was over, and he was able to pay his respects, it was time to approach. Bows, and then straight to that VERY pretty Blue and Purple Paint Egg. How lovely was that shell! And what an energy. Hello~.

Nuamia - Western
Nuamia was excited. She had been looking forward to this day for so long. It was with great difficulty that she listened to A’ral, trying to focus on the words and meaning of what he was saying…and not the eggs.
The eggs! She didn’t really know where to start. But there were a few that stood out to her. Should she do those first? Last? She let her feet guide her more than anything else. Maybe it was the press of people, maybe it was the happiness that seemed to almost match her own that brought her to the Purple Flying Heart Egg first. Gently and with great care, (these were living beings that deserve respect!) she touched her first egg that day. She couldn’t stop the excited “hello there!” from coming out.
Allamor - Western
Allamor stood patiently listening to A’ral. He knew that soon he would get to touch eggs and it was important to be in the right frame of mind. Calm would be good. He was imagining the wonders of the Hatching already and had to refocus on A’ral. When they were released, he had no plan. All the eggs were equal in his eyes so it was hard to chose a first one.
The first one turned out the be Brown Paw Print Egg. With a light touch, he greeted the egg, “Hello. Are you as excited as all of us?”
Aroontwa - Western
Oh boy, oh boy! Every time they did this was the best day. The only thing that was better was the day the eggs actually hatched. Aroontwa listened to A’ral while having slight vapors. Thankfully he was well aware of how important today was.
He was practically bouncing when he touched his first egg. Just before he did, he took a deep breath and tried to think calm thoughts. Remember the training, he thought. As politely as he could, he touched the Blue and Black Rosette Egg. “Pleased to meet you!”
Leiheti - High Reaches
Leiheti wasn’t sure about Western still. But the eggs were not something to be sneered at, and they were not what had caused the drama. They were innocent in everything. Gravely she listened to A’ral, fully aware that this could be the last thing she did as a candidate if she screwed up.
She was more sedate in going out to the eggs. They didn’t need to be rushed. They were going to be so overwhelmed at the end of today, she feared, even if everyone behaved. Her first egg was the Blue and Purple Paint Egg which seemed to suit her well. It was a good egg. Pretty and a nice size. “Hello.”

Phryana - she/her
The balmy weather of Western Weyr was shockingly different from High Reaches, but Phryana was focused upon the Candidatemaster as he spoke. Nothing was different--save for the lectures that continued to mean that Candidates continued to step out of line, despite their constant lessons. She was a little bemused by it, having only come to High Reaches a little more than Turn ago now. She swept into a curtsy once they were dismissed before doing the same for the gold and her unusually chatty brown. The enthusiasm was almost too much for her, but her lips quirked. It was sweet in a very simple sort of way.
It was the Brown Paw Print Egg that drew her close, letting her fingertips settle gently on the shell. They were here to be judged, after all, and Phryana was never one to shy away from honesty. Regardless of what it thought of all of them, she knew what an honor it was to be able to meet these new, young dragons.
--
Lauthisen - he/him
His shoulder was nearly fully healed by now, though it still gave him some stiffness thanks to the mess of scar tissue formed from the ruthless teeth and claws of a young dragonet. Despite it all, Lauthisen's quiet confidence wasn't shaken, though he did glance to Danzik and Eosphoth for the briefest of moments to offer a nod. They had... both helped him a lot, after he found himself unable to focus and apply himself fully during lessons.
The Charcoal Egg was the first he reached to touch, his thoughts light. Being guarded... well, he understood that very well, especially with so many new people here. He didn't blame the egg one bit.

Aryale - She/Her
She'd known he was nervous and this had all really snuck up on them really quick. Despite all of Aryale's reassurances, there was nothing to really prepare someone for their first time touching something that would immediately probe into them and decide what they thought. Still, there was no way to break the ice except diving right in.
"I'll find a good one for you..." she said, carefully passing by a few eggs, and even testingly running her hand over one or two to get a feel for them before her palm ultimately came to linger on Night Sky. Here was a good one to start with. "Bukichi," she motioned him over with her free hand. "This one will be a good first time for you." She was certain of it with how good it felt under her palm.
Please be good to my friend. He's nervous - I'd dare say scared. I know you'll be good for him to meet. I can tell. It was so easy to send good vibes back to this egg.
----
Matotoka - He/Him
Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Part of him knew that many amongst them had earned these instructions, so he found it in him to not be bothered by the repetition. If he wasn't a problem child, he wouldn't have to be reprimanded for stepping out of line. Still, he couldn't help but looking pointedly in the direction of.....nevermind who.....at that thought.
That he trailed along several steps and people in the same direction that little thing his brother had taken to was a cooincidence really. Some were much more confident about this - veterans of the process, perhaps - and he watched for a time to see what they would do before he too finally stepped in to rest his hand against Candy Cane egg.
Have a secret to all that confidence? I'd love to learn the trick. he greeted, carefully rearranging his thoughts to the nicest ones were in the front. A little way to edge into the rest of it all.
----
Papys - He/Him
While he had been listening, there was probably little doubt from those around him that somehow the young man would find a way to bungle it all. Papys was fairly good at that - but something had made him worth keeping around so he didn't mind that all so much! He couldn't be perfect, after all, so why worry?
Some seemed very thoughtful in the decisions they were making. Papys, on the other hand, rested his hand on Blue Spotted egg without too much worry or fuss.
HELLO! What are you thinking about in there, friend? Mind if I share the thought?

Bukichi - he/him
If Bukichi had any idea of what Aryale was saying, he would have been absolutely mortified. As it was... He certainly didn't regret who he was or what he'd done, but the thought of the young dragons being negatively impacted by his experiences troubled him. He allowed himself to be led, focusing on keeping his thoughts calm and level. The attempt was nearly ruined by the glimpse of a certain someone, feeling bile rise in the back of his throat, threatening to choke him with anger--
Aryale was talking, and he visibly tore his attention away to listen. The dark, smooth shell of the egg sat before him, and Bukichi took a few moments to force his thoughts back down. Calm. Collected. He pressed a hand gently to the Night Sky egg, unsure of what to expect. It was strange, but he got a good feeling from it, and perhaps that was what made it a little easier. It's an honor to meet you. He offered, meaning every word.
--
Aerden he/him
At least, he was able to see the children that Teth was understandably so excited about! After bowing to both the parents, Aerden sent a mental wave to the large brown before he quietly wove his way through the other clustered Candidates, marveling at the colors of the shells. The Blue Cloud Egg was what caught his attention... because was it... trying to speak?
He brushed his fingers against the shell. "Hello," He offered simply. "I didn't quite catch what you were saying, sorry."

Jacquol—Western—She/Her
ALRIGHT!! This was it. The day she'd been waiting for! Well, almost. A step in the right direction at least. She'd been eager ever since the goldflight, her excitement and expectation ticking into overdrive that'd made her restless, and honestly even more of a mischievous handful than she could already be. Harmless pranks and small thefts had been all she could do to keep herself from going stir-crazy, and poor Ambrin had suffered the brunt of her worked up energy. Not that he tended to mind.
But TODAY they got to meet the eggs! That meant meeting the BABIES! And one of those, one of those little eggs around the sides, she was positive was the one for her. Her perfect green dragon, just as they'd planned, just what she wanted. She was so excited, so eager that for just a moment she almost forgot her manners—pivoting on the spot at the last moment to bow to Killakeeth and Teth before striding, openly grinning, ready, here to cup a hand gently on the shell of Shining Star. "Hey in there. Big day, huh? Can't wait to meet you, little girl... or guy, I guess!"
Meztli—Western—They/Them/He/Him
So... this was it. The last hatching (the only hatching) Meztli'd stood for had yielded no results, and had been a... messy affair. Like a cake that sloughed off half its layers right as you started icing it, really. Worse. But things in the last months had had a way of wiping that fear and worry fro their mind, and they found themself shockingly at ease when the day of the touching came. After all, eggs couldn't hurt you.
Though it occurred to them that they had dropped a number of eggs before during their apprentice days... hopefully these eggs wouldn't pick up on that.
Trying valiantly to shove all thoughts of cracked shells away, they made a moment to give a (somewhat showy) bow to the gold and her mate... They seemed happy, despite what must be chaos to them. That was nice. Then they paused, took a good look around at the myriad of brilliantly colored shells... and moved towards Funfetti, giving it a gentle touch and a brush of their thumb over the speckled egg's side. "Well hello! You're certainly a speckled spectacle, aren't you?" Thankfully the lovely colors were more than enough to chase off thoughts of dropped eggs, and they found themselves idly tracing lines between the spots, content and relaxed.

Vesden || High Reaches || He/Him
Vesden's heart was in his throat. This would be his first time standing, and this was his first time even seeing dragon eggs this close. He'd been told what to do, and he certainly wasn't as young or excitable as some of the other candidates, but he needed a long moment to settle his nerves and remind himself of procedure none the less.
He was there, on the sands, with the eggs, about to touch them; him, it was still hard to believe.
He took a deep breath, squared his shoulders, and bowed to the queen and her mate, trying to project the respect and gratitude he felt for them. They could feel it couldn't they? He thought they would, and if they wouldn't no one would know he was being silly.
He didn't make a decision quickly, the eggs deserved consideration. Would one of them... well... call to him? Would he be able to feel which one his attention should be one? He was feeling a lot of things and if some of that swell of emotion was egg induced he couldn't pick it out.
Right, pick an egg. The blue one. Vesden approached the blue spotted egg on a whim at first, but once he did, the egg did feel very...deep? Calming. He gently placed both palms on the shell, feeling the egg and letting it get a feel for him.
Hello there... you're lost in thought aren't you... I know that feeling. Whether I am meant for you or not, you're an interesting one I think. I look forward to seeing you outside that shell when you're ready, little one.
Oh yes, that felt silly, but on the chance the little dragons could hear the thoughts of those who'd come to meet them he was going to "speak his mind" as it were. He doubted he would impress on his first try, very much so, but he was decidedly fond of this egg.

Nikal - 19, he/him
Welp. He shushed away the flits, took a deep breath, and began his rounds.
He could hear Allamor being his polite self in the background and snorted. Completely avoiding Aerdan as he moved, Nikal circled around to the Charcoal Egg, drawn in by the quiet vigilance. And the size. Faranth. The arrangement of eggs alongside it made him think of a sky darkening to night. What are you looking for? he asked. Trouble?

Karunia - 20, she/her
Alright!! She had spent the morning pumping herself up, and now the moment had arrived. Karunia wore a head cloth of bright gold and white today, which hopefully translated to something something sunny prospects something. She wasn’t bothered by the harshness of the candidatemasters—after all, she was a totally model student! No time to worry in all the excitement!
Bowing to Killakeeth and Teth, she then immediately beelined for Green Olive. “Hey, Toto!” she chirped in passing as she pressed a hand to the shell. “What an absolute unit you are! I love it. Gonna make a big entrance when you pop out, huh?”
demon_pachabel these some short a** posts forgive me

Stormy - 19, she/her
She tried to tell herself not to be nervous, but it was hard not to be when A’ral spoke up. One false step and it was bye bye candidacy. Stormy clapped her hands together around the tubers she had gathered and tried not to think too hard about it.
“For you,” she said with a little smile to Teth, offering the tubers to him after she had paid respects to the queen. She wasn’t sure if Killakeeth liked them too, but Teth could share if so. “Wish me luck?”
She didn’t mean for it to be a question, but there it was.
Despite the large number of eggs, it was impossible to just pick one that was wholly alone. Shyly, she scooted past Aerdan to Daisy and crouched down before touching it, hoping she didn’t disturb the other candidate and Blue Spotted. Hello, Stormy greeted it, library soft. Is it scary being in the middle? If it is, I wanted you to know that your eggshell is very cute, so it’s okay.

Dhawsn - 29, he/him
Dhawsn took the time to soothe some of the more flighty candidates after that tense speech. All eyes on them and all. He couldn’t blame the need to reinforce it, but he felt for the people that might have crumbled under the pressure, especially with some folks from High Reaches adding some silent judge-iness to it all. But he wasn’t going to get shaken by a bit of anxiety, no sir! He grinned widely and ushered several candidates along with them as they peruses the eggs.
Off to the side, he first stopped by Eggshell and rifled through his prepared jokes. You in a good mood too, huh? he thought to it. Okay, check it: What d’you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh!

Sunset Egg
Ha! Sunset Egg wasn't overwhelmed at all. Actually, it wasn't... whelmed yet. Was that a word? Anyway... Aelyx was okay, it had decided. Even if it didn't know, and really didn't care, who she was or where she had come from.
Blue and Purple Paint Egg
... Excuse you. Who was that man in his thoughts? This moment was for the egg, and the egg alone. Who did he think he was fooling? Was he sure that that man belonged to him? Blue and Purple Paint Egg wasn't.
Brown Paw Print Egg
And why, pray tell, would Brown Paw Print Egg be as excited as them? It was in an egg, if he couldn't tell. It was hardly places... and the company left so much to be desired. Do carry on. It was done here.
Blue and Purple Paint Egg
Yes, it was a nice size. An impressively shaped egg, didn't she think? It didn't really care what suited her well, but please, do go on...
Brown Paw Print Egg
Its serene majesty and highness was a trifle tied up right now. It Phryana would only wait, it would get around to taking her measure. For now, though, it would be prudent of her to linger a moment. Patience was a virtue that so few candidates seemed to have.
Blue Spotted Egg
The egg seemed to be quite deeply mired within its own thoughts until suddenly -
DO you mind? Its thoughts were invaded without so much as a by your leave! How excessively - oh, all right. One did have appearances to maintain, after all.
It... wasn't sure that an egg's thoughts were possible to share. Oh dear.
Blue Spotted Egg
... Why, there was a very mannerly mode to this young man's address, in a way. He had not, precisely, introduced himself, but the sentiment was there. For a moment, the sense of a deep, many layered mind reached out ever so slowly to touch Vesden's own... but then it retreated within its own depths.
Green Olive Egg
Although the egg was not entirely sure what Karunia meant, it was certain she didn't mean any harm. There... there? It was quite likely to make a big entrance, being a rather large egg, but... it wasn't quite sure about the rest of all of that.
Daisy Egg
...
...
Stormy would get a very brief, very gentle sense of something pressing up beneath her hand, before the presence would immediately flee deep into the egg.
