[ORP] A Springtime Surprise! [Hatching!]

[magnadearel]

High Reaches Candidates
Makimton
He shuffled slightly to get a better view of the proceedings. A few dragons walking about, and more eggs rocking. He raised his hand to try and guess how much time had passed; not nearly as much as he would have thought. Makim lowered his eyes back to the pile of eggs. He smiled as the gold gave a yawn. He could sympathize.

He wished her the best in finding hers. His eyes roamed back toward the other dragons.

Nalacko
She dug a toe into the sand, wondering if she should even be here. Then she felt a hand touch her and gasped. Nala looked up to find Rizdax at her side. She smiled as he lead her back toward the group. “Ooooh, I doubt a gold would want me though. Perhaps she’s one of yours?” Nala gestured to the other girls in the group. She felt she had as much chance with a gold as she did a bronze.

The sun hadn’t been as harsh to her as it had to others so far, but she could feel her skin tightening. “I bet the healers are going to have a mad rush for numbweed for all the burns after this.” Nala fell quiet as the gold began to make her way among the candidates. She felt better in a group to face the young queen than by herself.

Western Candidates
Rinis
She was watching eagerly for the next dragon to show itself. It looked as if Yellow and Teal wanted to be it. Silently she cheered on the tiny, tiny egg, waiting for each new crack. The young dragon was methodical and precise. Rinis quickly spotted a crack in the egg. Soon. It would be free so soon!

Omurntas
After the bronzes impressed, the line sort of dissolved again. Omurn made no move one way or another, standing as solidly planted as a tree. He watched the tenderness the Blue and White patterned blue impressed to his rider with. Ah interesting.

Talis

"It's possible, I'll give you that, but not the most likely turn of events." More like something an unrealistic, overexcited Harper would invent, no doubt with all sorts of embellishments, including about her companion. Who...didn't like the ocean? Talis blinked in quiet, mild surprise and looked out at it again.

"If all you want is a drink, sure, but I'm sure everything that lives in it would disagree about its being useless." And it was pretty, and so very much better than anything she'd seen in the last turn.

Ielin - HR Candidate

Things seemed to roll on, and before Ielin seemed to process it, things almost seemed to be winding down. The bronze that collected them had chosen his, so had the blue and green. It was good, yes. Still a few eggs left on the sands.. and the only newly hatched dragon currently roaming was a little gold. A lovely little queen, something that made him warm-- one of the Weyrs would gain such a lovely queen. But she wasn’t for him. With a positive warmth in his mind for her to find Hers, he turned back to the clutch. The yellow and teal egg seemed to be close to making an entrance..




Ezyzu - Western Candidate

“She looks a bit sleepy.” Well, once she impressed, she’d be able to eat and get a well deserved nap. Ezyzu smiled, watching as she started to make her rounds to inspect the candidates. She glanced around--as the little bronze found His. Yay!

Bouncing on her toes, she glanced around for the blue, who had also found his. But Ezyzu’s eyes brightened to find the pink-striped green had finally impressed. “Oh, The one little green impressed!” She pointed in their way, realizing belatedly her new friend had been a little late and might not understand her excitement. “She was the second hatched, I’m so happy she found hers!”

So the only little baby dragon left on the sands was the gorgeous little gold--but it looked like the yellow and teal egg would be cracking soom, and there was still a few left to hatch! “That one seems close, I wonder what’s inside?” Its an idle wonder. As long as they were healthy, that’s all that mattered!

Haizea - Western

Haizea has been looking elsewhere when the soft crunch of footfalls in sand drew her attention forward. Was another candidate scooting closer, a dragonet? Arching her brows in surprise at being face to face with the little Queen, she paused a beat. Then was booped! Just the unexpectedness of the thankful nose boop brought a little laugh bubbling forth from her just from the surprise of it all. Hey, now! Good luck finding Yours. Thanks for visiting!

Ah, and as she moved on, it looked like that particular Blue found what he had looking for amongst the available Standees. Good. So far things had been going pretty smoothly! Though the tapping coming from the Yellow and Teal egg was almost ominous.  

[demon_pachabel]

Juhvek

And with one blue impressed, another came out to take his place, dark and ready to not have to share the limelight with his similarly blue brother, likely. Juhvek nodded slowly at the new hatchling.

What would they make of you, little one?

Controlled chaos, perhaps?  

[Uta]

The White Bunny Egg finally gave one shudder, and it shattered, revealing a lovely and delicate green. The dragon blinked slowly, before getting to her feet, and stepping over the crumbled shell. She moved with grace and ease as she strode with confidence forward, not shy or worried. She did pause to give an encouraging peep at the still struggling Indigo & Yellow Egg, but stepped out to move among the Candidates.

All eyes on her now... even if her sister was stealing the show.

Who might be worthy of her this day?

---

The Indigo & Yellow Egg continued to struggle, before it lurched off its mound, and went rolling right into the Candidates. Well, it still wasn't open, but it sure was fun!

---

The Purple Patterned Queen continued to make her rounds, though she did pause to trill happily at her newly hatched sister! Her eyes whirled brightly as she moved.

Zelaya, standing so far back, was given a happy little warble from the queen. Ah, so sweet, but not quite right...and oh-so far away.

Akaris also looked interesting, but the poor girl seemed more afraid than anythinig. Though she softly approached, she kept her distance, and instead creeled sympathetically. She sent a wave of support, of calm, of peace to the other, and though she reached out her head to offer a boop, she did not touch. She did not wish to scare her further. All would be well.

Farensil was given a sweet trill and a encouraging nuzzle, as the queen passed.

Kinyegele was also given a sweet little nuzzle and rustle, before the sleepy queen carried forth.

Rinis was also given a sweet little boop, and a wave of encouragement, before carrying on.

Hmm. None of these were quite right... But. Oh, wait... what was that? Could it be? Was it she...? !!!  

[Mewsings of An Angel]

Zyanzi was quick to move closer to Ezyzu, sharing in the feeling of excitement that was clearly exuding from her. "That beauteous gold must enjoy the hype she's creating. Look at her!" He leaned lightly against the other candidate, musing as he watched the dragonet. Not His, but he would relish the beauty anyways... And then.. The egg! The rumbling egg hatched! His copper gaze flicked back to the sands, and his eyes widened at the appearance of a Blue! A musing noise left his throat and he took in the color and watched as carefully as he could. "Look at that one! That pride!" A hand crept up to cover his heart, and he could feel it fluttering like a moth. Was he nervous all of a sudden? No... he had been nervous since before the Hatching had occurred. "Oh Blue... I hope Yours is here waiting!" He whispered. As he said it, another egg hatched! A Green! Another beautiful dragonet on the sands!

[ soui ]

Soui's eyes drew wide as she watched the dragonet hatch, actually hatch, and the smile on her face threatened to make her jaw fall off. Even if she had to go back to the Hall this very night she'd have no regrets, because she got to see something wonderful that she could tell her family all about. They'd have long talks while she did her training, and maybe she's be allowed to come back and watch another hatching? Certainly having a healer on hand was never a bad thing.

It was then an egg went rolling, and another hatched, and the sands were a flurry of activity. Hopefully no one got hurt during the rushing scattering, and the young teen was unsure if she should keep an eye on the gold, the beautiful blue, or the pale green who'd just emerged. Soui wished she had three heads, or at least more eyes to watch, when the sound of hissing caught her ears. Oh...oh no.

She knew that sound, knew it all too well. She'd helped treat bites from the thing that made that noise, and a cold drop of fear ran down her spine. On the sands, like this? Would....would everyone be okay? Was this part of a normal hatching?  

[Thaliawen]

“Close!” Ionan grinned when a beautiful blue emerged, and then a green emerged from another egg. “Maybe that one’s yours,” he said. Ohhh, the gold had come over—was it Kinye’s? ...But no, it left.

What was the blue doing? A tunnelsnake? “Won’t it hurt the baby?” He fretted.

Kinyegele

"Oh!" Kinye absolutely bubbled with delight from the attention she received from the Gold, practically beaming as the Queen continued on her way. Oh how delightful!

-----

Martirae

Marty pulled her heart back into herself as the Queen wandered farther away. No, the Bronze would be the only one coming back to his in such a dramatic fashion. She'd been looked over, and now it was time to build up to keep from disappointment. The little bubble of upset stayed inside of her chest never the less, even as she built a careful little fence around it.

Besides, an egg had just rolled into their ranks.

You've been at it for a long time. Need help? she offered up to the little Indigo and Yellow egg. She was feeling particularly....helpful, at least.

-----

Juhvek

Well? What had the dark blue found? The hiss caused his shoulders to square up. "Don't!" he said it without thinking about it - certainly, the baby just wanted to play, but not with a Tunnelsnake! THAT IS NOT A TOY!  

[ShinosBee]

————Jacquol————

Just the blue and the gold now. No, wait! Okay, so...just the gold. The woman shuffled slightly, unable to not cast glances her way, but also trying her best not to be interested. Poor thing seemed sleepy...but kind. That wasn't bad. She seemed sweet. It made it all the harder to dislike her, to try to be uninterested. Would a gold really be so bad? Any dragon would get her stuck at a weyr...but maybe...and if the gold had a clutch...well. Honestly, a green sounded way more her speed. Or a blue, or a brown. But then an egg was on the loose! That was obviously more interesting than the gold, right? Maybe in the distraction she could duck out of whatever area she was snooping at!

————Zelaya————

Zelaya meanwhile had taken another step back. And another, out of the lineup (which was already collapsing into more of a crush). And then the mental brush of the gold froze her in place until it passed. That had been...very kind. But indeed, not for her, and once it passed she moved to more fully retreat. At least until an egg came bowling into the crowd like they were pins lined up to strike. With a a rather worried 'oh!' she threw up her hands—to protect herself, or halt the egg, it was hard to say. This was...really all a mess. She didn't dare to look back at Z'tir. No doubt he looked even less approving now. A sudden snarl and hiss from somewhere did little to aid her nerves.  

[Revel1984]

Farellen watched as another egg, then another hatched, oh another blue, and a green, then he laughed as one egg rolled into the candidates, he wondered if they'd help stop it or just get out of the way but a sound from the sands had his heard in his throat when the blue began to dig. "Tunnelsnake!" he gasped, his eyes shooting towards the Gold mother, no..... a tunnelsnake could seriously hurt a newly hatched dragon, depending on how big it was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Becka eyed the two new hatchlings, a blue and a green and that adorable gold, giving the girls little bits of her attention as she went, what a sweet thing she was, then an egg rolled towards the candidates and she almost laughed....wait what was that the blue was doing now? "NO!" She let out, clamping her hands to her mouth as she realised she'd been very loud, oh no no no a tunnelsnake? a stupid one it had to be but still ... "No please little blue, let mama deal with it now" she whispered to herself, hands clenched, concern making her feel suddenly sick

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rokar only vaguely took in two eggs hatching, blue then green respectively, in fact he pretty much ignored even the novelty of an egg rolling towards the candidates. He only perked, and stood, staring intently when a scrabble in the sands revealed something hissing, oh no this was bad... this was what he expected, but feared, a Tunnelsnake ... it had to have been attracted by the eggs hatching. He glared at the Gold mother, "do something... DO something" he muttered to himself
