Revelio and Open Sesame! Double Clutch Hatching!

[ShinosBee]

Zelaya
She nodded, in total agreement. Every dragon was important and had their place and was needed. Just like how the one bright green had worked to free her cousin. That was a good thing, a perfect example. Of course, a moment later another green hatched...this one with eyes blood red. They resisted the urge to step back, facing the danger head on. Not clueless, but armed with their training. A breath, and they radiated only calm, placid openness. Not fear. Not worry. All was fine. The green was as loved and wanted as any of the others, even if she was a little upset today. "Hopefully she'll find her partner sooner than later. I wonder if she's only hungry..."

Falienn
Whatever Orri's said washed over Falienn like so many waves on the shore. In time they might wear away the grit and gravel, but now? When it was so fresh? "We'll see." If he even made it off the sands. He'd thought...but no. He watched, solemn as the girl the gold had chosen knelt to embrace her. Funny that. You'd think he'd be used to the sting of rejection. Being left behind for someone with a brighter future. Ah well. He really was happy for her—he just wasn't happy for himself.

And then, more. A blue, composed and ready. And...a green. Two greens, but that one. Those blood red eyes. "Orri. You should go stand somewhere else. If she comes after me...I don't want you to get hurt." Didn't want poor Orri, eager, bright Orri to have to see that. He couldn't look away from the green himself, though the terror he'd expected didn't rise up within him. Instead a sort of frozen acceptance melted into him. It even managed to smother what was left of his broken heart, leaving him finally, peacefully empty.

Rykin

With the arrival of the angry little green, Rykin took another couple of steps back, accidentally nudging into a High Reaches candidate he didn't recognize. He held out his hand in apology but didn't turn, watching the red-eyed hatchling warily.

"Sorry." He debated mentioning that he was trying to avoid being mauled before he remembered that he was meant to think positively. "She's... lovely." He didn't sound convinced.

Zeraiah

Zeraiah could hardly decide where to look next. Was it just him or had things begun to pick up speed, one eggs hatching setting off the next and one I pression coming hard on the heels of another. It wasn't just the heat of the Sands making his chest feel tight and setting his palms itching. No matter what happened, how were they expected to sleep for days, or maybe weeks, after today?

That thought screened around inside his head until the new green made her arrival, that was. With one look at those fiery eyes, a good portion of his overwhelming enthusiasm chilled. They'd been warned a Hatching could be dangerous. Were things about to get ugly? Zeraiah cleared his throat (quietly), swallowed hard (loudly), and watched. Breathe. Just breathe.  

[Hattaki]

While he was actually listening to Shar he was watching all the eggs that were beginning to hatch, the green that had Impressed and the people all around him carefully. So far there was the green bronze out on the sands still, a blue had hatched, another green was still on the sands after her sister impressed and now there had been an explosion over near the bronze and a red-eyed green had appeared.

Things were looking to speed up and at the same time get that much worse, so he shifted just a bit so that he could easily protect Zamista, Cavera or Nalacko if he had to, Shar as well but he knew she would be doing all she could to keep everyone safe on her own as well.

"I don't think this will be as long as you think though. Sure, shorter than the one on that beach when we waited for the last green, but this might go faster if they keep hatching so fast and violently." Rizdax stated as yet another green spilled onto the sands.

Oh but her eyes were... Keeping himself calm he looked over at the newly hatched little green with her frightened eyes and sent a warm feeling of support to her. It was going to be okay, she would find hers and be safe.

YURASTAR

Two greens! It didn't matter that one of them had red eyes - sometimes red eyes didn't mean anything in the long run. Yurastar had met plenty of dragons whose eyes tended to stay one color due to their personalities, but red wasn't forever an indication of rage. Sometimes it was jealousy, or hunger, or a long list of other things. He wasn't going to be afraid or wary of her just because of that since well, fear wasn't his thing. Being scared only made stuff worse, right? And if it was his time to die on the sands (that was an extreme jump) then at least it'd be at the claws of a pretty green.

The second green was small and nervous as well, but still so lovely. That was one things Yurastar loved about clutches, there were always so many greens. Pern was a green's paradise after all, and he was here for the eyecandy.

The blue was nice too though, really. "Hey lovely ladies...and sirs."

Ruunan [HR] - 16 - he/him/his - App Woodcrafter

As more eggs hatched, Ruunan’s ears grew hotter, and his heart gave a nervous little flutter. Shells. He’d simply accepted the fact there were close to sixty eggs… but realising what that meant when they all hatched… well… how come that had only occurred to him now?

It was the Crucio egg that scared him the most. Red eyes like that… the poor thing must have been very hungry, or very angry… and either way, he didn’t feel like becoming a dragon-meal just yet (or ever, if he had any say in it).

In that moment, as he contemplated backing off a little, another nudged him- doing exactly that. Ruunan’s face went blank- Rykin’s words seemed so very faraway… and yet, yes. They made exact sense. From the tone to the pause… to the words themselves. “Yes… very… big. An asset.” He tried to rein in his fear, but he heaved a sigh and shook his head slightly.

“She does look a bit angry though… right? Or am I just worried about nothing?”

And the appearance of another green- whose yellow eyes seemed to scream fear- set him on edge a little. “I hope that one’s okay, too…” He didn’t know this young man- but they shared a similar desire not to get hurt, and a fear of what would happen next. Surely that was how friendship was struck, right?

For C'vi from Maddy

Maddeck // male | Weyr healer, medic | Standidate

Maddeck returned C'vi's wink with a smirk. He seemed confused by something, or perhaps it was just sleepiness. Most humans would not be up at this hour. "Something wrong? Why aren't you still in bed?"

C'vi's joke was not surprising, in that the thought had occurred to himself. Maddeck shook his head. "Don't be silly; one Stands Impression in a family is more than enough."

Rothgar // Male | Weyrherd, camelids/caprines | Candidate

Rothgar watched for his chance for the second bronze, but it never came. He was more interested in helping his siblings, an endearing trait, but a little difficult for those doing the Sand Shuffle. He danced a little in place while his feet burned and the deadpan humor put him into better spirits. He moved over to one side, somewhere between the two clutches. Over here he found the view to be much better. He watched the second bronze Impress, followed by a brownish queen and a spirited green. He wondered if the differently hued metallics had slightly different genes than their siblings. As a beastcrafter he found this to be very interested, even if he knew much about caprine genetics from breeding and next to nothing about dragons outside of Candidate classes. His mind wandered this way, giving in his own way, an excited aspect to the hatching and each new baby dragon. As Rothgar watched more green, a brown, and finally a blue all caught his eye. So far he had caught none of theirs. He had already seen himself through other hatchings so he was not surprised. And even if these had been the last hatchlings, he would not be surprised to go off to drown his sorrows. Except that he wanted to see a dragon healer about dragon hide genetics.

Beloved, may.....may I? Anakumath pulled away from Martirae after a long moment, the purples and greens of so much love being offered up faltering as the gold dared step away from her perfect moment. It was one she'd be able to return to with her chosen only in memory now, and perhaps it was too soon to let it end. But Marty's hands remained tender with only hers. It was hard to not feel envy twist at her heart, but understanding was immediate.

"We're going, I..." her lips tightened, as she finally looked away from the group she'd stood with. "I'll save you a spot," she said with a nod, clearly pulled away by the gold who was going to make a few last rounds before the two left. Anakumath carefully paced away from the girls and off towards...well, a few people. There was first, Soui, who seemed wound up in a very nice boy who was reassuring her. The young healer was first offered a nudge of a nose against a hand, and a small kreel. Then, a surge of affection.

These tears are my fault, aren't they? she kreeled, knowing only her Martirae would hear it - oh, it was not meant to beg for appeasement, but merely an observation. Marty pushed it out. Never. Dehka was similarly offered a nudge of warmth, before it was off on the little gold's walk. She needed...she needed.....

She needed Falienn, the little gold making her way to where the heartbroken boy was, all greens and purples nearly gone from Anakumath's gaze as she hesitantly reached out mentally to nudge the boy, as if a snout against his cheek. It was okay if he didn't want to see her after she'd broken his heart so - oh, maybe even her - No. Marty would squash that uncertainty that the little gold didn't even deserve her beloved before it could be planted. But for Falienn, she would at least offer something like love.

If he even wanted it from her now.

Rylyrr - High reaches - He-Him

Rylyrr watched the hatchlings impress and relaxed slightly. Three impressions and it had been peaceful so far. A third green though, red eyes in anger but there was no reason he could think for her to attack them. He would keep an eye out though. Little green just find your soon.

A new little green was on the sands and seemed hesitant. Ooh little one. You find yours.

With a quiet shudder, Colors of the Wind shifted again where it lay on its side in the sand.

Shift...

...Wiggle...

...Wigglewiggle...

........crack...!

From within a slow, almost ponderous crack, a green eye peered out...and then flecked with orange for just a moment before fading back to green. Was it time...? The egg wiggled again, claws pricking at the edges of the crack, slowly widening it.  

[demon_pachabel]

On contact, Imperio wiggled, the egg leaning as if to draw closer to Crucio in some mirror of the gesture. Then a sound like claws being dragged only one time down the inside of it's shell followed before it settled.

----

Something exciting was happening nearby and Firebolt wiggled with so much determination, the entire egg fell over.

Lauthisen

The lanky boy was glad to see that the queen managed to find her chosen partner without issue, nodding with quiet satisfaction to himself. Soon, a blue delicately made his way into then, a red-eyed green. "There's our blue," He commented, noting that dark hide appreciatively. As for the green... well, he kept his thoughts calm. There was no need to assume she was going to do anything rash. Hopefully the other candidates would remember that as well.

Still, being light on his feet was never a bad idea. "I always wonder if they know something we don't," Lauthisen commented dryly. Perhaps the browns and (most) blues were waiting for something?

Dehka

The fluffy-haired boy blinked with surprise, not... certain what to make of that statement. Too kind to someone like her? "I don't think that's true at all." She released him, and then to his utter confusion, started to move away... Did she need space? Had he done something? Dehka's brows furrowed for a moment before, on a whim, he reached out to snatch her hand. He stared at her intently, saying nothing.... and twisted his head to see the blue and the green that had emerged from their shells.

Before he could do anything else, the tiny gold from before had approached, and the boy's eyes grew huge at the sudden, sweet warmth that flooded through him.

He watched the little queen head off again, feeling both dazed... and extremely, extremely fortunate. "T-Thanks..." He whispered after her, swallowing thickly.

Zyanzi

Ah! More dragonets on the sand! The fine hairs on his arms and the back of his neck were standing on end with the tangible excitement charging the air on the Sands. He clasped his hands together, nails digging soft little moons into his skin. He wished he had more eyes to watch all the dragonets and eggs at once. Who to watch? Who... who...  

[SilverLutz]

The high laugh that echoed in her mind sent a shiver down Shar's back, and as the green nuzzled a few others eggs she knew this group could be serious trouble. Thankfully there were plenty here to help should things go awry and scars weren't something she worried about. Those around her, though...even if she didn't know all of them as well as she knew Riz or had promised to look after like Zamistia, she did know they were important to the two redheads on either side of her and as a result would do her best to keep them safe.

Colors of the Wind drew her attention as she decided giving attention to the red-eyed green would only make her act up more. Shar watched as an eye peeked out of the crack, but the dragon within didn't move.
