[Khamaith's Hatching] The Best of Life [Open]

[Spockat]

Sivu - [He/Him] - Western Weyr
Sivu tried again for a glance at the hiding dragon, not as thought he could tell the color of the hide. He still tried to catch a peek then stopped himself. Perhaps.. They weren’t emotionally ready for so many to look at them. He understand that a fair bit. He too wasn’t exactly the loudest, or the most gregarious. He’d have to leave them be until they were ready now wasn’t he? Eggs shaking, and greens tripping. Hopefully that little one wasn’t too seriously hurt... he bit his lip, thinking. There were many healers on deck, he shouldn't let himself worry too terribly.

Etansi

BOOM!

Gold on the sands, a vibrant gold no less, but that wasn't what Etansi saw after just the briefest of moments of appreciation. She'd be a fool not to if only just for a second, but her eyes glanced to the Rose green who was backed up quite quickly by her sister.

Only to be slapped by another green that hatched and hissed. Protective instincts had her want to go and help that little green, but she'd seen what moving towards dragonets could do at the clutch on the island. Aspalath had nearly betweened before even meeting her brother and Impressing, she'd never risk that here with Khamaith's babies.

Still... she felt concerned. It'll be okay.

Rian - she/hers - HR

Oh. Oh, that was a gold on the sands. Maybe that didn't mean quite the same thing here in Western, but Rian had grown up in High Reaches, and so she found her eyes drawn to that glowing hide despite herself. What a beauty she was! Except --- except beautiful as she was, what happened to rose drew her eye more. Rose bumping into her sister's egg, her now very upset sister, and---

Oh no. It took all of her willpower not to do something foolish. She wanted to go help the baby, and from a quick look around at the other candidates, she wasn't the only one... but they... they couldn't. As much as she wanted to help, as much as she wished she could help untangle limbs from wings, doing so would only cause more trouble. And if she wanted to help her weyr, she had to not get in trouble. Surely--- surely the little one would be alright?

'Oh, hang in there, little one, you can do this, it'll be alright, it will, you'll see...' The poor dear; if she could just right herself and find Hers, she'd be able to get taken care of and start feeling better in no time. But--- but that didn't make watching and not being able to actually step in any easier.

Amahno

Wasn't a party more fun when everybody was there? Not that Amahno was against starting a party, just that he wanted it to be a great one. He did feel some sympathy for the little Rose Green who was being knocked about by her siblings - and the red eyes on that newly hatched Green Pink Striped Green (fjalkd) were at least a little concerning.

She had a temper!

"Think she wasn't ready to come out yet?" he asked his two companions, tilting his head slightly. She was feisty and that was still pretty fun!

Juhvek

"Well look at her," Juhvek was happy to keep pushing Oranie and Elibrie to look at the greens, but he also (bless his High Reaches heart) couldn't keep himself from having both girls at least take a covetous look at the freshly hatched gold. If only to admire.

Did she not deserve that as much as the bronzes should have had his attention? Perhaps he wasn't quite as thirsty for metallic hide as he could have been. A blue would have been more what he expected. Or a brown. Yeah.

Dextelia-High Reaches-She/Her

Another little green caught her eye after her golden sister hatched. Seeing the green trip up and end up falling and running into another egg causing it to hatch earlier then the occupant inside had been ready for. Seeing Green Striped Pink Green attack Rose Green had Dextelia gasp, her hands moving to cover her mouth as she did so.

Her heart went out to the hatchling and as much as she wanted to go up to the little thing she knew she couldn't, not unless she was called to or asked by the little one. Blue eyes moved to look at the parents where they were seated wondering if they would do anything. For that moment Dextelia found she could not focus on anything but the little Rose green.

It will be okay. She thought this to herself but she hoped sending a feeling of love towards the little one might help....would it do anything at all? She hoped the green would be okay.

Josen

How many times had he elbowed Serrekhar this entire hatching? "Isn't that sweet little green your brand of damsel? Why don't you ask if you can go help," he suggested, as though he wasn't considering it himself - but the little lady's parents would have it under control.

Sivu - [He/Him] - Western Weyr
Sivu swallowed an audible gasp. That tear looked like it hurt. “She’ll be okay,” he said towards Etansi, but more so to himself. “Right?” That little darling would be alright, and patched up in no time at all. The candidatemaster’s words echoing in his skull. Hatchlings were clumsy, sometimes people and dragons got hurt. Thats why there are healers near by - and you stay out of your way as best you could. It was self-soothing to run through this logical little list while he fussed. He couldn’t help them, but he could worry fiercely and keep his eye while he watched the dragons moved along the sands.


Loctius - [He/Him] - Western Weyr
Poor thing! Oh, oh no. He watched the green tear her little wing and he wanted to rush to help them. To fix their poor little fouled claw. However, he definitely knew better than to rush across the sands ilke a candidate on their first lesson. Instead he watched carefully, relieved to see the little green head towards their parents.

He had regrettably missed the blue’s entrance in his worry, but turned his gaze to admire them in turn. What a handsome presence!

Baihath

The small dragon warbled with delight as more and more eggs began to hatch--and immediately ducked his head to fondly nudge the Orange Spot Leopard Green. His little brown son was bonding wonderfully with the Candidates, his other blue son had hatched magnificently... and this little darling was here for cuddles!

A golden daughter hatched, and some were beginning to squabble... but Baihath fixated upon the Rose green with a soft creel. He glanced hurriedly at Khamaith and Turoth, not wanting to overstep, but oh....!

Quickly, he minced across the sands, gently seeing if he couldn't nudge her claws free of her wing. Oh! Such an ouchie! It's okay, beautiful one! We'll get this fixed up, no problem! He radiated his adoration at her, doing his best to gently work those sharp talons free from sensitive flesh. His poor daughter! We'll make sure it doesn't hurt at all soon! I promise.

Khamaith

Pressing a gentle nuzzle to Orange Leopard Spot Green’s head, Khamaith had been content to let her daughter stay and cuddle to her hearts’ content. Instinct and hunger would eventually win out, but she would be content to soak in the affection.
But another cry, from another daughter, drew her attention -- and the pain in her voice made her ache.

Size was sometimes a boon, and she uncurled where she had tucked herself in to glance about -- until landing on little Rose Green, and her mightily-fowled wing. Oh, darling -- Mama is here, don’t worry. A gentle calm to her words, soft reassurance as she inspects the wing. However, seeing Baihath move across the sands, she picked her head up to watch her beloved mate gently try to work her claws free. Papa’s got you, darling.

Niviora - She/Her - Western

Things were beginning to pick up, and Niviora hums softly as she eyed the little green who walked up to the preening bronze -- only to be rebuked by the bright and smashing arrival of the young gold. Her eyebrows raise slightly at her bombastic nature, with clear appreciation for a dragon who wasn’t shy about what she wanted.

----

Dystzha - She/Her - Western

The bronze content to go back to grooming, Dystzha relaxed some. She wasn’t scared of him, more in awe, honestly--look at that presence he commanded!--but she’s following the movement of the eggs, of greens and blues -- awww, green baby wanted her mama -- and… oh! A gold, and another green! Ohh, they were darling, weren’t they? “Here -- I’ll protect you -- come see the babies a bit better.” Dystzha scooches over so Surel could see a bit better, beaming.

Shoxiel - He/His - Western

Content to rock back on his heel, he watched with interest as eggs cracked and exploded, revealing their contents. The hidden baby skulking around the eggs drew his curiosity, if only to see what the baby was besides a shadow.

However, the green who ensnared in his brother drew him with alarm, gaze drifting over them both to see that Loctius and the baby were alright (and the relief they were both alright.)

Zhaydegan

It had all began with the very dramatic flop and sprawl of the brown across another candidate's legs. What had begun? The mad whirl of chaos and confusion and everything that made up a great Hatching. Eyes bright, he slung his arm around Savindri's neck in turn, just for a moment. "Look at all of them," he breathed and laughed. "Look at all of them showing off for us. Do you think they even know that we're showing off for them too? Blue, bronze, brown, green. They want us to see them and we want them to see us and it's crazy!"

Eliaza

With each new Hatching, Eliaza actually seemed to relax. It helped, of course, tat the bronze who had been so angry when he first emerged had settled into something more contained, and he'd been followed by dragons exuding such utter joy. How could anyone not feel better after all of that?

The gold exploding out of her shell made Eliaza squeak in surprise, then cover her mouth as she laughed at herself. Rather than trying to keep some sort of distance between herself and Alisaide, she stepped sideways, closer to her new companion, and reached for the other candidate's hand. "Look at her. Just look!"

Ollandin

They'd been wary of the bronze when he was angry, but that had faded now, and with so many little rushing dragonets on the Sands, it was smart to be alart of all of them, not just the ones who moved agressively. Ollandin kept a little bit behind Ollanmar, though he would have sworn it wasn't intentional. It just made sense. If he had to drag his twin back a step or two, out of harm's way, he was in a good position to do it.

"That blue has your ego," he teased his brother, when the showy blue had emerged from his shell. And that became a running theme. Each new dragonet that announced itself with flair and attitude was suited to Ollanmar. Even the gold. Which made Ollandin grin ear to ear, though it was never going to happen and he couldn't even make it through the taught without laughing.

[Sweet Symmetry]

It was hard to know where to look: all of these babies were very beautiful, and so very unique. Her heart was stolen by the blue and green siblings who were investigating the candidates at their own pace. Yellow swirl brown seemed to have decided to take a nap- on some candidates! Well how about that!

And that Tribal Bronze... Well, he was just a proper gentleman. She watched with fascination as he groomed himself, tail-in-mouth. Was that more pressing than food, and a bond that would give him as much confidence as he would ever need, for eternity? Until the darkness... Ah, no, happy thoughts. She projected the warmth of an open heart and a world ready to cherish them.

When the Rose Egg hatched, Kel sighed softly to herself, amazed and awed. What a sweet, beautiful girl! She was transfixed as the green offered her brother comfort and encouragement, touched by her manner and thoughtfulness... It reminded her a little of the world she'd left behind- thinking of and putting others' needs first.

When Gold Striped revealed a gold, Keleres was stunned. What a beautiful sight the newest golden daughter was, and her parents had every right to be proud. But Kel worried, too, for there had been an undeniable hint of red in her eyes, and she feared it was for the rose green. Perhaps a mark of her own intuition, her worries came true: the young Queen carried herself with such bearing, and pushed the green away from her brother. There seemed to be no denying her authority.

It went from bad to worse, for the little green at least. She backed into another egg, was swiped at by the green within, and tore her wing as she tripped. No. /Oh no. Please be okay. Please little one./ Keleres' hands rose to her throat, her face paling at the thought of losing a precious baby... No... Flashes of the lost green from High Reaches still haunted her dreams, at times- sentimental, some might have said, but Keleres had a difficult time with death.

"She'll be okay right? Right..?" Her voice grew quieter, eyes fixed on Baihath as he nudged his daughter, attempting to free her. "They'll help her. She'll be okay." Keleres tried to think happy, welcoming thoughts- especially as the Queen began her inspection... Breathe, and remember the moment. Stay with it.

/Everything would be okay./

[ candidate lyfrocier ] - he/him - western

Lyfrocier had been comfortable enough, given the circumstances--he was quite sure he'd wind up with a scalded back for all of this when the dragonet on top of him decided to leave, but...he found himself to be okay with it. He wondered if he'd be able to handle the whole Hatching here. He'd been keeping an eye on the Greens still milling around, and Rose's plight had distracted him from her approaching sibling. That looked like a Green on a mission, and Lyf liked to think that he knew trouble coming when he saw it. Delicately, he patted the Yellow Stripe Brown, hoping not to upset him any further.

"There's no harm in letting your siblings take a look. If you'd like, you can settle back down when she's done." Lyf did his best to sit up just enough to get a good look at the Green Pink Striped Green, meeting her scathing gaze with a much more level one in response. He could remain calm--now was certainly not the time to falter, anyway. The Green knew what she was after, and she had a lot of searching to do in order to get it. It went without saying that he didn't want to get in her way in the meantime.

En'cai of bronze Spurth

"Dust, for certain," En'cai agreed, clearing his throat. No matter what emotion he might be feeling, or what he was sure he'd seen in his wingleader's eyes, you just didn't argue when another man was covering for himself. You did not.

En'canthought about it, looking down at the candidates thoughtfully. "I don't know many of them. Any of them, really," he confessed. "Not this time around." Eyebrows lifting, he ventured, "If you want to make it official, though..." He smiled a sly grin, having finally caught on. "I'd put a quarter-mark on one of our young ladies first."

Even Halvor had to admit that watching the green tear into her own wing was awful to watch. Her siblings had zero desire to help her. Halvor knew candidates shouldn’t intervene, but the rules could be shoved aside to at least get the claws out of the wing. It’d be a shame if the little green torn her wing so completely that she couldn’t fly, ever. What was a dragon if it couldn’t fly? It looked like Baihath had it handled so Halvor stayed stoically where he was. The green was far too gentle and seemed easy to rile it seemed. Though if he had to choose between this green and the one strutting through the candidates he’d prefer the weaker one. He knew what it was like to be her and he wouldn’t mind showing her how to be fierce.

Thinking about it though, he’d prefer the bronzes. The butterfly bronze was much more on his level. The other bronze seemed to interested in preening. That was the antithesis to everything he was. No, he’d prefer apathetic to that. Looking out on the sands and the dragonets playing or strutting about didn’t seem like his. Right? Yes.

Halvor recalled that the last hatching he’d been to on that island had shown that sometimes even opposites attract. Then again, maybe they weren’t all that opposite. Halvor focused his attention on the gold now demanding her due. Thank all the gods above he’d never impress on a gold. A sentiment he was sure she’d share.

“That is a fierce little green.” He quietly admitted about green pink striped who strutted about. Still maybe not a good match.
