[ORP] A Springtime Surprise! [Hatching!]

[TheWishling]

Rune And Rhys

Oh Rune certainly liked the bold little green. So powerful and sure of herself. The lighter one was far too energetic. Her smile was clear as she rested back on a foot, crossing her arms as she watched. And such a pretty little thing trying to hatch from another egg. Good.

Rhys sighed at his sister, more content to watch the far more gentle one of the females. He was always looking after everyone. Even now, it was his job.

Aelyx

Such a sweet little Green....she was making sure Huarwar was ok. It was a blessing, one she offered the tiny one a smile for. So kind.

Aly'on

"If they are smart it will remain friend till the end of the hatching, after that I am not going to poke in there business."Aly'on hummed slightly. "If she is I hope she going to be on the larger size..." His brother was really large, and heavy...depending on the size of the dragon in question.

"But I don't think it will be a match...." His brother was too calm for that.

Beligian - High Reaches candidate

Beligian hadn't been paying attention to anyone walking toward him. He had come so late and was so far back that he wasn't sure anyone would really notice!

So when he was bumped into, the thin red-head went straight into the sand, pants slipping low on his hips and thankful his shirt was long. The boy yelped loudly as he landed on his bum and then tried to scramble up, sending sand flying every which way. Anyone around him would probably be hit with sand.

"Sorry! Sorry, sorry!" He managed to scramble up and grab his pants, tugging them back around his waist just in time for a dragonet to come to a stop in front of him.

Well this was exciting.

The dragonet seemed just as excited as him and he let out a laugh and held both hands out for the curious little one. Who cares if his pants were noticeably slipping yet again.

"Hi! Hello there." He just watched the dragonet before remembering someone had actually bumped into him.

Shoot, new friend, potentially, but also a dragonet! He hadn't seen one this up close! "Just look at her! She's so pretty. You're beautiful! Lovely green!" So he'd talk about the dragon while taking to the one who bumped into him. This

Sylfie

The young goldrider was hardly surprised by the rejection; she was, after all, just Sylfie, whereas Z'tir was a wingleader and Zelaya's father. Of course she would stay with him. And she was very nice about it, which was...nice. She swallowed the lump in her throat, nodded, "I'll s-see you after, then. Or...sometime." With such a high-ranking parent, there were probably much better and more interesting people for her to be around. She nodded again, a little more firmly this time, and choked out another, "Wingleader."

And took her leave, making her way carefully away so that she didn't look to be in as much of a rush as she was. She just...needed away. In spite of her words, she didn't make a beeline for Hesperith, but meandered aimlessly in that general direction and tried not to bump into anyone on the way. Which was made a little tricky by the fact that she was walking with her eyes to the ground.

Akaris

The green continued to stare at them for an uncomfortably long time before it snorted - snotted?! - on Rylyrr, only to make an unexpected movement that caused Akaris to flinch, but no harm followed. Only the return of her hat, with a nudge, and...a pronouncement that she was weak, someone the hatchling wouldn't want. She received this - and the advice, such as it was, that followed - as well as her hat, mutely. And then, once the green had gone, she curled her hands into the fabric of Rylyrr's robe and buried her face against him (mooshing her poor hat a bit in the process), muffling her answer of, "Well she didn't have to be mean."

And now that the hatchling had gone, she thought resentfully that it was just as well the green didn't want someone like her, because she didn't want a dragon like it! She liked her silly, sandy, squashed hat, and that green should mind its own business.

[ renose - HR ]

There was still a lot of movement and another...hatching, perhaps? Renose had been watching the eggs intently as the two greens moved around, both of them clearly uninterested in him. Which was fine, they had better things to do than watch him melt under the southern sun, so that was good. Perhaps the first Impression wouldn't be too far off now? If it stayed calm and quiet he'd appreciate it, though maybe a little action wouldn't be too bad.

Running in this heat though? Why not just ask the candidates to catch themselves on fire? Renose had never heard of anyone catching on fire but that didn't mean it'd never happened before. He doubted it could happen now but it was so hot and there were two baby dragons and - a gold. Was that a Gold snout coming out from an egg? The first sign of a metallic, and it was a future Queen.

"Fab." His comment was....uncertain, for sure. Golds really didn't hold his excitement, considering he was....not its type in the least. Still interesting though, to see which girls would fall over themselves in an effort to get to it. Certainly a Gold on the sands would persuade many of the higher ups to forgive and forget the location and carelessness of the original goldrider, seeing as ~fancy~ and ~titles~ and he was sure he was going somewhere with this thought. Whatever.

[ soui - western ]

She'd been slowly creeping closer to the fringes of the watching crowd, eager to see what was going on. There had been an audible gasp as the latest egg hatched, and she frowned at her inability to see what happened. Whatever it was didn't involve blood, as there were no shrieks nor people running their way, and that suited the teen just fine. Still, she wanted to see what was going on. It would be a shame to go through her first hatching (viewing) unable to witness all of it (while not working), and so she looked again at her cousin and the other bronzerider.

Swinging her gaze over and up, she started towards the overly familiar and very beloved smaller bronze of her cousin. "Yudu, help me up for a moment? I'd like to see what's going on while it still seems quiet. IF that's okay with you, of course." Her question about permission went straight to the dragon, completely bypassing her cousin - as usual.

Jagmund

The other Candidate fell right over, and his pants were visibly slipping off, though luckily nothing Jagmund didn't want to see was visible. He was about to snap at the boy for getting in his way when two things happened.

First, he paused when he noticed that the Candidate almost looked like him, if he was smaller and younger. He had to double check in his mind to confirm that he wasn't actually a Western Candidate. Nope, a stranger. Heh, wouldn't that have been weird, though? Perhaps a relative... he had been left in the creche with no knowledge of his parents, after all.

Second, the friendly green came bounding right up to the boy as he was apologizing and quickly tugging his pants back into their proper position. jagmund wasn't quite sure whether he was babbling to her or him, so he kind of just stood there for a moment, then stuck out his hand experimentally.

"Um, name's Jagmund. You are...?"

Beligian

Kamila and Cituvath

Cituvath suddenly let out a sound of mirth.

"What is it?"

One of ours walked into another and made him fall, she replied, eyes swirling blue and green.

"Of course, you'd find delight in that..."

Leiheti (High Reaches)

Leiheti slipped between a couple of candidates to try to see what the big fuss was about. The Western candidates sure did have a lot of issues with the greens it looked like. Really. It was a baby dragon. Things happened at Hatching. Get over yourselves and show up mentally for this clutch. She even made a clucking noise of disapproval, much to her amusement.

Luciand (High Reaches)

Luciand had been relaxed, though aware of the going on. If something truly horrendous did happen he would step in and try to stop it. It was just his nature. But for the time being, he would have been standing hands in pockets relaxed and apparently carefree, had he had pockets.

Aroontwa (Western)

Aroontwa was practically vibrating with excitement. Look at the green! Wasn’t she just adorable? And the other green! She seemed very composed compared to her sister. And a GOLD? Oh that was always a good sign, right? His hands were twitching at his sides as he tried to contain his enthusiasm. He just wanted to grab the person next to him and shake them. Why were people not more excited?!?

————Zelaya————

The slight widening of Zelaya's eyes was not imperceptible, but also was not blatant. Permission to go with her friend...Out of the corner of her eye, she tracked Sylfie's progress across the beach. Her head was down, her pace...not quite hurried. Alone.

But then, in the corner of her other eye, Z'tir. How many moments had they spent together? How much time had his busy schedule allotted him to spend with her? She barely knew him, and yet...he'd been kind, in the end. Her hands in her lap clenched, just a moment, then relaxed. "That's alright," She ventured after a moment.

"Thank you...father...but my place is right here."

And when her eyes found the rippling crowd of candidates the next time, they did not seem quite so conflicted, lifted of some burden or other.

————Oseathiol————

With his book clenched nearly to his chest (and quill half-bent as he still struggled to write even so!) Oseathiol was just, simply entranced by all that was happening. Babies here, cracking eggs there, he'd seen the little golden snout, nostrils flaring on that last attempt to break free! The man was as starry-eyed as Pern's night sky.

Which is probably why he didn't notice the young woman, similarly distracted, wandering aimlessly across the beach. "Just wonderful, look at them all!" He muttered under his breath...and then froze, just in time to stop a collision. "O-oh! Oh my! I'm, I'm so terribly sorry!" He babbled, immediately taking a step back, and ducking into an awkward, off-balance (thank you, sand!) bow. "I'm afraid I was...well, a bit distracted there." His smile was genuine, and rather self-deprecating. He'd never been the least clumsy fellow. Or the best with social interaction. Or women. His fingers drummed along the back of the book he'd clapped shut a moment before, eyes flicking between Sylfie and the eggs. She wasn't in robes...did that mean she was a rider?

Oh Faranth. Who'd he gone and tripped over this time?!

[Uta]

The Pink Striped Green was about to ignore Beligian completely when the man went flying, kicking up a flare of sand that landed on her. Whirling around, her wings flared, and she gave an irritable RAWK at both Beligian and Jagmund -- only to stop and see her sister cozying up to one of the fools.

With a loud bugle -- or was it a shriek? -- the green launched herself at the Solid Pink Green, wings spread, fully intending to land a blow...

The Green Zig-Zag Egg
Almost. There. Another push, another shove, another wobble.... Soon. SOON!

----

Quietly, without much fanfare or excitement, the Yellow Egg broke in two, leaving a handsome blue dragon flopped in the beach sand. It quickly, almost nervously, righted itself, and looked quietly around at all the faces. It did not move, it simply sat, watching, waiting.

Bronze Yudueth

At the beckoning of his smaller twin the delicate bronze tilted his head down, knowing full well that she could easily sit upon it without a problem given her small stature. Eyes still on the hatchlings that had begun to dance across the sands, Yudueth was nervous for Soui and wanted her up as high as he could get her.

Climb on little twin, I'll get you up as high as I can.

really crappy work post I'm so sorry! D8 Have Soui go for a head ride!

Rylyrr

Rylyrr hummed trying to tempt Akaris to look up and to give a bit more answer then what ever muffled words were said into his chest, not that he terribly minded having her pressed up against him.

"You okay?" He questioned, again, soft and gentle. and reached down to gather up the top of the snotted robe and tried to flick the glob onto the sand an away from them both. Gross. "You might want to brush off your hat, it got terribly sandy."

Beligian - High Reaches candidate

Beli was not babbling, thank you very much. He was sweet talking this pretty little green before him. The little red head giggled to himself and just completely awestruck. If there could be little hearts circling his head, there probably would be.

Finally, when a name was said, Beligian's eyes were torn away from the little green to see someone fairly similar to him. "O-oh! Hello! I'm so rude. I'm Beligian! I got... a little distracted." He cooed toward Jagmund, but it was really meant for the dragonnet. He just didn't really turn his head in time. At least until he heard a shrieking noise.

Another green launched itself at the green in front of him and Beligian froze on the spot completely.
