Dynzrak

Finally. The young man listened almost impatiently to the rules they were issued, just as he had time and time again. Call people out? Not a problem. If they thought to jeopardize his chances with the eggs, they had another thing coming. Once they were released, the redhead confidently strode forward onto the sands--pausing only to bow to the parent-dragons present. He was no fool, after all, and he had no doubt that either gold would make good on removing a troublesome candidate from their clutch.

It was Rhianth's clutch that caught his attention more, and after a moment, Dynzrak moved to lay his hand upon the large egg centered in the middle of the clutch. The Slytherin egg... Yes, a fine egg to start with. The boy radiated confidence even now, wordlessly greeting the egg.

Iathe

After the disaster of the last few Touchings, Iathe hoped that everyone here knew sharding well what was expected of them. She knew she wasn't blameless, and the thought still stung. Well. She was no wherry--she'd learned from her mistake, and was focused on keeping herself calm and collected. Bowing to the dragons, she moved quickly, but carefully across the sands. The Hufflepuff egg was the first she stopped to linger by, letting her fingers skim over the yellow and black shell. She wondered, did it prefer to be out of the hustle and bustle by remaining to the back? Or was it mere happenstance that found it here on the outskirts of the clutch?

Phryana

A dragon was not meant for her, or so she thought, but Phryana had zero intention of getting herself thrown out of both candidacy and the Weyr by acting like an idiot. The nervous energy that hung in the air was all but palpable, though she did not allow it to touch her. Unlike some candidates that had worried and fretted over which egg to visit, she moved quietly without any real goal in mind. The pink hearts dotting the shell of one egg made her pause, and her dark fingers slowly brushed against the Amortentia Egg. Calm, happy thoughts? Well. Such was to be expected, when greeting a baby, and Phryana kept her thoughts warm. Hello, little one.

Dehka

He felt as though he'd swallowed live tunnelsnakes. Dehka didn't think he could ever recall a time he was more excited and more nervous, and the thought of breaking the rules was especially horrifying to him. He'd never ever do that, certainly not on purpose! He had been following Kahbrohm carefully, his eyes as wide as saucers as they approached the colorful shells of the eggs... and then, one of Fianth's clutch caught his eye.

Hesitating, he paused to step away from Kahbrohm, moving to reach out and touch the pink, creamy shell of Go The Distance. Was he... imagining the sensation he was feeling from it? Dehka allowed his own thoughts to grow wistful, but made certain that they remained positive! So many people were here, hoping for a chance. Everyone will be so excited to meet you. He thought at it, feeling his own happiness threatening to swell up inside of him.

Tokki -- Western

Gr'del's words still echoed in Tokki's head as he made his way across the sands toward the eggs. Not that he was the sort to intentionally misbehave, but he had no idea if he'd accidentally do something to agitate the queens sitting before him. He'd seen gold dragons up close and personal before -- he had been Searched by gold Killakeeth, after all, and transported both to Western Weyr and to this Touching by the beauty. But these two, Fianth and Rhianth, somehow seemed much more imposing. Must be how concerned they clearly were for the safety of their babies.

And the eggs! Tokki had no idea they'd be so big! Or so pretty! He nearly forgot his manners, hastily giving each of the queens (and what must have been the fathers, though why there was a blue dragon present he had no idea) a deep, formal bow. "Thank you for allowing us to touch your babies' eggs," he murmured softly, uncertain if the large dragons were listening to him with so many others in the Hatching Grounds.

Once he was sure he wouldn't get eaten immediately, he looked over the eggs. Two groups of them, each egg more enticing than the previous one. He finally settled on one and approached the Be Our Guest egg, gently laying one hand on the smooth shell and keeping his thoughts gentle, happy and welcoming. Hello, little one. I'd like to get to know you, if you don't mind.

*************************************
Jeri -- HR

Jeri had done this many times before, but each time was just as thrilling as the first. The tall girl could barely contain her excitement as she nearly bounded across the sand, her long legs carrying her ahead of most of the other Candidates from High Reaches. She would lead the way and show the newer ones how to behave at a Touching!

Bowing to the two queens and the eggs' sires (and Krahsujuth! But of course he would be here -- never far from Fianth's side, it was so romantic), she approached the eggs, studying them one by one. The Crucio egg looked interesting, so she moved closer and placed both long-fingered hands on the shell. Think happy, loving thoughts, think happy, loving thoughts, she reminded herself, and did just that. "You're a very pretty egg," she said softly with a smile. This was a nice egg, yes.

*************************************
Willim -- HR

This was it! Willim was so ready for the Touching of the eggs. All the training, all the classes, all the lectures had all led up to this. The only thing that was going to be more awesome than this was the actual Hatching. He strode confidently across the sand, his hand in Shanley's, doing his best to remain calm even though his heart was pounding with excitement in his chest. Who knew -- in one of these eggs could be his future dragon!

Remembering what he'd been told, he released Shanley and bowed deeply to Fianth and Rhianth, and to the fathers. Then he turned his attention to the eggs. And what beautiful things they were! He'd never seen dragon eggs before, and marvelled at their colorful shells and varied sizes. Studying them for a minute, he finally approached the Go The Distance egg and, as he'd been instructed to do, touched the shell with one hand. It was so smooth, and so warm! He gently stroked the egg, thinking positive thoughts. Should he talk to it? Could it read his thoughts?

Gru was with Rhianth as far as not really seeing a point to this particular event. No dragons would be coming out of the eggs today, and the time they spent here could have been used for more practical purposes. It would save the mothers some stress as well, if he was interpreting their body language correctly. He wasn’t averse to the Touching. He just didn’t quite understand. He followed all the instructions given, bowing twice and then moving slowly and quietly across the sands. He selected what most people would probably consider one of the most boring to look at eggs—You'll Be In My Heart—and pressed his palm softly, almost delicately, against its grey shell. He was very interested to see if there was any sort of response, like the ones he’d heard described so many times.

Lauthisen

The dark-haired boy had hung back for a moment, allowing others to move on ahead while he studied his options. There--one of the eggs was by itself... and the closer her drew to it, the more he got the sensation that it wasn't upset about that at all. Well. He could relate to that feeling. Ignoring the fact that the shell looked as though it was covered in blood, Lauthisen reached out to touch Be Prepared. He had little desire to disturb said egg, however, and if it found his presence wanting, he had no problem with leaving it be.

The almost sickly sweetness of the egg beneath her palm made Shar shiver a bit, her stomach and heart still doing strange flips and flops. The egg seemed to be quite delighted with all of the voices and feet on the sands and she was glad, at least, that the daunting task of being touched by so many didn't seem to bother it. She gave the shell a little pat before glancing over at Riz to see how he was getting on. He'd picked a pink egg not far from her and so far things seemed all right. Her heart fluttered a bit harder before she removed her hand from the egg, frowning just a bit as she rubbed her chest, glancing back at the blue shell. Strange...very strange.

Sticking close to Riz still, she moved away from the little batch to a smaller egg off on its own. Crouching down to rest her palm against it, she was glad to find this egg didn't instill any flipping organs inside of her. The Be Prepared Egg was much more her speed in terms of gushy emotions. She knew how to project good thoughts, but having sensations like the ones caused by the other egg weren't particularly wanted, especially at a time like this.

"An interesting shell you have," she murmured, noticing just now that the red splotches looked more like bloodstains than spots. Now that was unique.

Veltanna couldn’t help but laugh in return as the feelings from the egg came through. “You are going to hear a lot today, I do believe. I would tell you all about it myself, but then I would be kicked out. We don’t want that, do we?” She gave it a fond pat before she moved away. She moved to a close by egg, the How Far I'll Go Egg and still smiling place a hand on the top of the shell.

Let It Go
Karone's touch is met with understanding. The baby inside seems to gently look over the young man's thoughts and ultimately seems satisfied enough. Chin up. That's the least there is to be done.


stella cinere

Go the Distance
This baby seems to bask in the affection that Vodex has to offer, allowing any nervousness it has about meeting so many people to ebb if only a little bit. Are there a lot of people out there? Oh, it will do its best!


Tsunake

Go The Distance
Does Dehka really think so? Oh! That's a relief! Oh, it will try it's best to not let them down! Is Dehka excited to meet them? They're not a disappointment, right?


Tatterpixie

Go The Distance
The baby inside of the egg seems to wait Willim's judgement. It is ready for it! What does the young man think? It is ready to do it's best!

Be Our Guest
Wants to get to know - Why this baby is more than happy to oblige to Tokki's request! It is practically on it's (proverbial) toes, bowling the young man with warm greeting and affection. Hello! Hello! How is everything out there? Is everything good? Just right?

Aroontwa began to lean closer to let the egg see? him better. But he remembered that he shouldn’t linger. Even if the eggs asked them too. There were just too many eggs. It wouldn’t be fair to all the others! With a regretful parting of ways, Aroontwa moved on. Maybe, if there was time he could come back! That thought perked him up and he placed a gentle hand on the Felix Felicis Egg.

Fehral gulped, totally intimidated by the pair of glowering dragons who watched them balefully from the other side of one of the clutches. Not to mention the pair of glowering Candidatemasters! He. He was going to be good, okay? He tried to make his thoughts clear, just in case the dragons were listening. He wasn't going to hurt any eggs.

However, when Chayrel squeezed his hand, he did get in a squeeze of his own, lingering a touch longer than Gr'del might have liked. But Chayrel needed reassurance, too. Taking a deep breath, Fehral walked over to the two clutches. He paused, bowing deeply to Rhianth and Fianth, but moving toward the latter. Fianth wasn't quite so terrifying at present. ... Well, actually, she never was.

He squared his shoulders, marching over to the I Can Go the Distance Egg and placing his hand upon its shell. Just as he had been taught, he greeted the egg with welcoming, kind thoughts. After all, it was very young, and deserved to be treated with great care.

Fisher - high reaches candidate

Instead of the magical talking like she was expecting, or the feelings or what not, all Fisher got was....force. Pressure as it were, and that was weird. Not too strong, not too weak, but the dragonet didn't do anything else (if it was supposed to) and so Fisher assumed that meant it was time to move on. The instructions said no conversations and no lingering, and so she moved herself slowly through the clutch until something hit her in the gut.

There was an egg the color of blood that caught her eye, and again her stomach, and Fisher found herself tilting her head as she approached the Sectumsempra Egg. Clearly it wanted to be left alone and she probably should do it, but the bosses had also said to touch all the eggs and make yourself known and she was somewhat paraphrasing at this point.

"It'll be done soon. I'm just here to say hi and I'm on my way." Her hand on the shell, the gut feeling of go away echoed again. Fisher felt in the back of her mind that it would be best to go, but she couldn't just touch and leave. Right?

Dehka

The boy gave a noticeable start when the egg's thoughts came so clearly, unable to help the smile of awe and delight that immediately broke out on his face. You won't let anyone down! He reassured it, his heart beating all the faster. But yes, I'm very excited to meet you too! The question of being a disappointment made his eyes widen with surprise at the Go the Distance egg. No, of course not! Everyone is really glad you're here! Ah, was he staying too long? A quick glance around reassured him that none of the dragons seemed upset with his presence.

As with the first clutch he’d met before at Western Weyr, Farinalgo was excited to meet these eggs and get that small, early taste of their personalities. This was still a fairly new experience for him, and a delight in that each egg was unique and absolutely fascinating. He decided he’d leave off of asking questions this time, though. Some of the Western eggs had not cared for his innocent prying. Perhaps it was because they thought he was being nosy, or perhaps they were simply too young to have answers.

His bows to the queens were sweeping gestures of both respect and joy, and then he made directly for the bright pink egg at the front of Fianth’s clutch. He bent and placed his hand atop of the You've Got a Friend In Me egg, sending it a bright, Hello, friend!

Andrestia -- HR

Andrestia shook her head ever so slightly at the Hufflepuff Egg. “I think you are just as interesting as the other eggs here and I am sure whoever you choose will think the same!” She let her hand linger just a moment longer before withdrawing it to give others a chance. Shifting away she watched again for a moment before settling on another egg, this one was blue and bronze swirled Ravenclaw Egg.

“Hello sir or lady egg I hope today fairs well for you.” She tried to focus all the happiness and warmth to were her hand gently rested on the egg.

-------------

Vodex -- HR

It was happy, and nervous, or at least Vodex thought the egg was a little nervous he wasn’t entirely sure who it was feeling it. “There are lots here to see you today, but you will do awesome so don’t even worry about it!” It was a smidge of a pep talk but it made Vodex feel a little better and he hoped the egg did too. Pulling his hand away he let the other candidates have their turn with what he considered was the best colored egg there before reaching for the blue egg with a music note in the center.

With a bit more confidence then he had the first time he rested his hand against the Remember Me egg. “Hey, you seem cool I wonder if you like music?”

Uta


Slytherin Egg

A strong stir of interest rippled within the hidden depths of the egg, and it rose up slowly to meet the girl's touch. A fierce girl from a distinguished line, she. No bumbling Candidate to trip over herself greeting it. How... intriguing. It was indeed good to meet her.

Hufflepuff Egg

Cedarian's interest was met with a deep fluster. Oh. Oh dear. Surely he might turn his regard upon another? Hufflepuff had so many fascinating siblings. Look, there. Over there was another who might charm him, surely. Still, Hufflepuff tried its very best.

Crucio Egg

A cruel, cold, high laughter rippled through the egg when Chayrel touched it. Was he afraid? Not nearly frightened enough, pet. Touch it again. Touch it again! It echoed his feelings up back at him multiplied tenfold.

Tsunake


Slytherin Egg

This swaggering fellow thought himself equal to it? Please. Touch it if you must. Admire it, perhaps... a little longer. But it was certainly the better between them. Tch. Confident though he might be, he lacked a certain je ne sais quoi.

Hufflepuff Egg

Suddenly, the egg felt very... very... noticed. That. That wasn't something the egg was used to! It. She seemed to see right through it. Oh no! Oh, it's... it's just that it isn't quite as important as the others, not when they want attention so badly. Some of its siblings were truly lonely, and some demanding of attention. Oh dear.

Amortentia Egg

How... very, very fascinating. Phryana had experience that quite intrigued the egg. It delved gently within her thoughts, sorting through for this and that, turning them over curiously. What was that like? She seemed quite fierce indeed. Something the egg appreciated.

tatterpixie


Crucio Egg

The egg was not, however, overly interested in happy, loving thoughts. How dull. Sending a light jolt through her, it waited expectantly for a response.

Tsunake


Be Prepared Egg

A boy touched its shell, and the egg regarded it. Hmm. There was a mind in there, it seemed. It had no difficulty whatsoever standing alone. Nor indeed did it find this entire song and dance entertaining. However, he was certainly not unwelcome... for the moment. It might have a use in his presence.

SilverLutz


Be Prepared

She had noticed, had she? Pay no attention to its sibling - there were other, better things to be doing. For example, learning which of the eggs might prefer her best. Not this one, though it didn't hate her by any means. No, it seemed to approve of her general attitude, but still, the sense was not that of welcome.

stella cinere


Be Prepared

Oh please do stop dawdling. It did not have time for that. Hmm, yes, it noted his welcome. However, such a welcome was not returned. It did not have time to waste on boys who didn't know what they wanted.

How Far I'll Go Egg

Oh , what was this now! This was a new experience. Tahira was met with an insistent curiousity. What adventures had she been on? Tell it! Tell it!

Gryffindor Egg

Of course it could meet everyone! How could they not come to see this egg? CLEARLY it was one of the best eggs here, and Lucius was right to visit it first. Meeting all the people would be wonderful, wouldn't it?

medigel


Gryffindor Egg
It was MORE than ready to go, and Orri should definitely stick around for the action! There would be excitement all around, and IT would be the star of the show.

faesinger


How Far I'll Go Egg

Veltanna was met with a surge of wonder. Veltanna must tell it all the things she'd seen. There was a world outside this shell, and the Egg was more than ready to meet it, but there was waiting to be done. It didn't like the idea of waiting....
