[Mystery Hatching] A Mysterious Kind of Folk

[Teiha]

Having wished a more… peaceful outcome, Funfetti realized that the opportunity for such an outcome had passed. When Brown Paw Print broke away from the fight to give a candidate what for, he was at her side when she returned to the fray. That last insult had been too much. With no hesitation, he stood by his sister as she and the other green faced the two golds.

Tonori

Tonori sighed inwardly at Taibbi for not simply asking him to stand aside instead of huffily trying to peer around him. He couldn't help his size, but he did generally try to be considerate of less tall folks standing or sitting behind him in situations where his height might make him a barrier.

In another few moments, for reasons that completely eluded the muscle-bound candidate, the bombastic brown paw print green had stalked over and given Taibbi a firm dressing down. A part of his mind mulled over the possibility that she might've been better off staying behind him, depending on what she had done to earn the green's ire. Most of the rest of his mind was just glad she didn't seem to be bleeding, and he extended a hand to help her to her feet, even though her expression said she would rather die of embarrassment.

"Maybe don't do whatever you did again," he murmured to the younger candidate before backing off to give her some space and to avoid being in the way of any other diminutive folks that might be behind him.

Mari greeted Stormy almost as quietly, more interested in the eggs. Twins! Twins, and twins. He felt a pang. His twin wasn’t on the sands with him. He wondered if D’mar was watching.

He didn’t want to disappoint his brother. He didn’t want to disappoint himself. “Astri look,” he gestured to the twin golds. And then there were the twin green and blue... and then the brown and bronze! It was going to be a bigger clutch than they expected, wasn’t it?

Mari hopes Dolly is watching.

FISHER

While Fisher hadn't been expecting a voice in her head apart from the bellow brown who looked like he was weeping, she did raise both eyebrows in surprise over the green's snappy comment. "Obviously." Why was a baby dragon telling her something she was already like ninety-percent sure of?? At least now she also knew that dragons really could read minds quite clearly, and so she just....stopped thinking. No point in wasting anyone's time, right?

It was easy enough and it didn't break any rules, and she'd probably survive this and head back to High Reaches without so much as a blemish. Or maybe she could hop on a boating crew and find her way back to her Dads. Or maybe, just maybe, there was a dragon here for her somewhere. It was a betting game and Fisher was sort of lousy at bets, but at least thinking of boats and then nothing was better than apparently inadvertently insulting babies.

Faranth above, she was bad at being a candidate.

Aryale

With only half a thought, Aryale slid her hand into Bukichi's to give it a squeeze. "Okay," she relented, but didn't reclaim her hand. He'd had a rough week. They had a rough week, but it hadn't dampened her desire to take care of him. He was her best friend.

She jumped slightly when the second green came scrambling to the side of the first to hatch....then leaned into Bukichi when the Brown Paw Print Green started stalking towards the candidates. Oh, was she - Aryale flinched as Taibbi was struck. "And that's why we think nice thoughts..." she said softly.

Matotoka

Matotoka's lips pulled slightly at Karunia's answer. "Gotcha. Wonder how they know..." animals were strange things and at their core, no matter how wonderous and special of one they were, Dragons were such. So were people. Did humans have similar changes happen when Threadfall came? Scratching the tip of his nose in thought for a moment, he soon let it go.

"Did that one like golds?" he inquired, looking at the Mint Chocolate Chip egg curiously.

Papys

Papys flinched when Taibbi was struck, moving carefully from where he was towards the young woman. She seemed to have regained her composure - slightly.

"That could have been a lot worse - are you alright?" he asked, expression as bright and friendly as ever.

All this excitement and drama… pfaugh. Blue Cloud absolutely had had enough of it. With a lurch and a heave, the small egg knocked itself over, cracking in two and revealing a lovely green. Her yellow eyes were wide as she looked about at everyone but the ones who were making a big stink.

EURYALE

"GO GREENS GOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" There was more whooping coming from the stands as a certain redhead was getting hyped over the sheer number of greens on the sands.

Aryale

Aryale flinched and leaned further into Bukichi's side out of sheer embarrassment.

Candidate Aelyx : Western : She/Her

Those Golds and Greens were going to just keep going at each other, weren't they? How horrible for both of them. There were tears pricked at the corners of those eyes as she stared ahead, fingers tucking back a few strands of hair as she tried to make sense of it all. Her hands were gripping tighter to Huarwar's arm, a raw sense of anxiety prickling her. It was not quite as bad as the last one, but....She was worried that perhaps another candidate would anger the poor creatures. Ah well...Time to simply stand back and let them make decisions. "It's going to be alright...right?"

BastetAmun

Candidate Wren : Western : He/Him

Well, this was a right entertaining mess. He could watch this all day, and yet instead of focusing solely on the standoff, he was glancing around at all the hatchlings. Look at them all, so beautiful. Stunning creatures with beautiful hides all. Every single color and hue. A grin curved his lips as he shifted in spot, waiting to see what might come next.  

[BastetAmun]

Candidate Huarwar : Western : He/Him

Watching the drama unfold Huarwar couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. In a way he couldn't help but see the green as his younger half-brother C'ryn when they were younger standing up to he and Henwas. That train of thought was luckily pushed away as another pair of twins, a bronze and a brown, hatched from another egg. He watched them more, perhaps a bit more interested in them for the moment. His half-brother had impressed a bronze...what if he impressed a bronze as well?

Then one of the candidates brought the ire of the angry green towards her, though it didn't seem as if the green had done anything to truly harm her. It put Huarwar on alert more, a bit more tense. Aelyx's words had him turn his head to look at her, moving to pull her a bit closer to him,

"Everything will be fine. Just keep out of their way and let them find their own. They will work things out and if anything gets out of hand their Golden mother will step in." He wasn't going to get in between the feuding dragonets to try and calm them down. None of them had called out to him and even if he wanted to help he would just get in the way.

Allamor

“I am aiming it somewhere important.” Allamor told Nikal. “You are important.” He would forever be his friends advocate.

With a nod to Aerden, Allamor agreed after wincing at the strike from the green to the candidate. “Yeah, we could do with a relatively bloodless Hatching. Lovely dragons. At least they haven’t done that much yet…” Allamor remembered the last Western Hatching.

[Teiha]

Yes, Funfetti was standing with the greens. Did he want to be here, choosing a side between his darling sisters? Of course not. Thunder was such a terrible thing to steal, but rubbing salt into the gaping wound in her pride as well? Repeatedly? He tilted his head, a hopeful tinge of blue creeping in. Surely the Green Olive golds could see how that might hurt?

TETH

Teth was still pathetically weeping to his rider. His babies were mad and fighting.
