F'dral
The man had been walking around the group, watching each and every Candidate. He didn't care if they were from Western or not--but he had every expectation that HIS Candidates would have no trouble. Some had paired up in small groups, while others moved along solo.
His eyes did not miss the trio that had seemed to form, though, and he watched as Juhvek followed two younger girls, moving from Butterfly Egg to Sunset Egg. Had they not specifically been told not to crowd the eggs? It might have been one thing to touch the eggs individually and move on together, but between how they were touching the eggs, and where they were putting their hands... Had they not also been told to touch the egg? Why was he touching others hands when there was an entire dragon egg on which to lay them?
This would not do.
"Juhvek," he barked, hoping to catch the man's eye in warning--or at least to remind him to check himself.
Sinrunth would do the honors for this warning, though. The bronze dragon was perched up on the teirs to watch the Candidates from above. He was just as attentive as His. Mine would advise you to give the girls some room. No one is here to eat them, and if the eggs have their own opinions, than that is for them to address. You are here for the eggs, are you not? For if you say otherwise, we've a dragon on which to return you home. Focus, man--you're a High Reaches Candidate, not a creche worker.
Time for socializing could happen after the Touching.
"Make sure you're not crowding the eggs," F'dral called out to all Candidates. "Give them space. If a few individuals are already at the egg, find another egg, or wait for someone to leave. If you're done meeting the eggs, settle yourself in the tiers to wait for the others."
demon_pachabel SORRY! F'dral's not taking any chances, and if he's as protective as you described him, he's going to notice that and n** it.

Surel | Western
All right. Okay. You can do this, Surel. Deep breath in through the nose, hold it, two...three...four...exhale through the mouth...three...four...
Opening her bright eyes, Surel looked upon the Sands with forced confidence. Touchings always were nerve-wracking, someone always did something to mess up, and Surel would never forgive herself if it was her that set one of the babies off. She had yet to do so so that gave her a bit of confidence and she knew how to go about behaving on the Sands. She'd done this a few times now and understood how to go about touching the eggs, how to leave them be if they were cranky. But still...
She walked forward behind the first wave of eager Candidates, content to take a backseat and let them touch the eggs they wanted first. She waited in line to bow to Khamaith, Turoth, and Baihath before turning to the clutch, chewing her bottom lip as he tried to find an egg that wasn't too crowded. It was hard...there were a lot of Candidates.
Finally an opening appeared and Surel moved over to the Gold Striped Egg, pressing her hand gently against the shell. She closed her eyes again and cleared her mind, letting out another slow breath.
"Hello," she said in a tiny whisper. "It's a little busy out here today, I hope it's not too overwhelming for you."

[Candidate Sivu] [Western Weyr] [He/Him]
Yes, yes Sivu understood the usual instruction to conduct oneself as a proper upstanding Western candidate. He listened to the usual instruction intently. He wouldn't dare make a fool of himself, not where three rather large dragons might snack on him while watching the rest of the candidates.He bowed to all three of the parents. Ballads always go gold and bronze, but what do those old ditties know anyway! Bronze, gold, white looked cozy enough!
Sand in his boots, dry air in his nose, half done chores - all irritants forgotten in a heartbeat seeing the marvelous little clutch. What clever looking delights. A first time mom? So many? Sivu really ought to have brought Khamiath some sort of gift. Oh where would a dragon even keep that sort of thing? Or perhaps it would be the thought that counts. His manners would have to keep him from being empty handed.
He knelt beside the first egg to catch his eye. Sand covering his knees and catching on his sleeve, Faranath knows it'd probably be in his ponytail before the end of today. Ah well. He rested his hand gently on Teal Glow Egg "Promise I'm not ordinarily this sandy, my flying friend. How is it in there? Warm enough? It certainly looks like a cozy place."

Rasthell - He / Him
The man was surprised by the large egg's reaction, but gave it a small caress all the same. You aren't at all insignificant at all! He thought reassuringly. The egg was one of the largest in the clutch, but even if the being inside thought little of itself, that idn't mean it was so. You're important, you are loved, and you are wonderful. He thought tenderly back at the egg.
But it was time to move on from the Black and Rainbow swirl. He hoped that the egg would get all the attention it craved. The eggs surely couldn't be selfish or greedy of any's attention--especially not today.
Glancing around, the red-head moved quietly towards the next egg. The Rose Egg drew him next. Such a beautifully patterned shell. Hello, there. You're certainly a beauty.. And that was the truth.
Valendyr - He / Him
The young man gave a small grin at the egg's pleasure. Well, at least this egg seemed to know exactly what it was about. Valendyr gave the egg a few more moments of praise and admiration--and maybe a fashionable note concerning future hair dye--before he stood up and moved away.
Which one to go to next?
Yellow Swirl seemed off to one side. Once he was able to approach, he reached out a hand to softly caress the shell. It was a vibrant egg, but he appreciated its bold shell--and how it was separated from the rest of the group. The best spot of them all, really; making the Candidates actually seek it out without simply being an egg to touch out of convenience. But Valendyr also wondered if maybe the little one inside preferred a bit of isolation? If so, there'd be no judgment from him.
Rahimar - He / Him
Rahimar was pleased by the eggs reaction. Golden Flourish was certain to hold greatness with that sort of reaction. He'd be sure to try to catch what dragon might hatch from its gorgeous shell--but for now, it was time to move on. With a final caress, and smirk, the man looked about.
Orange Galaxy Egg was up next. An impressive egg, to be sure--and one of his favorite colors to boot. He was certain whoever would hatch out of this egg would be something great. Hello, there. Meet anyone interesting so far? Well, even if the egg didn't--he was now, and surely more interesting than some who had come along. His arrogance wouldn't allow him to think otherwise. |

Orry was enchanted. Not only was the egg a beautiful egg, it was also so very darling! As tempted as she was to linger at its side, she could feel the Candidatemasters' eyes on her. "Oh, you're so pretty!" she cried softly, astonished by the weight of the dragonet's own confidence. It was a lovely thing, really. She felt sure that whomever it Impressed to would be quite lucky indeed. Glancing up briefly to check if anyone seemed to care that she stayed, she regretfully gave the egg a second pat. "I would stay, but others would like to meet you, Egg."
Shifting over slightly, Orryxa placed her hand delicately upon the Green Tribal egg's shell. Hello there, she tried to think gently, letting her thoughts be of nothing so much as welcome and wonder. Each other these eggs was so striking in a unique way, none quite like any of the rest. She was ever so pleased to meet it. Hopefully the egg understood her feelings, anyway. It was hard not to be nearly overwhelmed with excitement at the chance to meet them all. What splendid creatures they were!

[ candidate lyfrocier - he/him - western ]
It was time. The eggs were laid, and his duties began anew.
Lyfrocier was calm as he stepped out onto the sands, although hew as certainly bottling up a slight nervous thrill dancing in the pit of his stomach--this was as close as he'd ever been to this many dragons, and it was hard not to be even a little bit intimidated by the sight of Khamaith looming over her eggs. She was more than impressive, a glittering golden queen poised to watch everything that went on before her; he bowed deeply to her before he even dared to think about going near any of the eggs, letting out his breath slowly. The heat of the sands felt like it was pressing in all too closely, but he'd just have to soldier on through it until he'd done what he came here to do.
The first egg that caught his eye was one nestled gently in the middle, and it was the one he chose to approach first. The Orange Galaxy Egg felt warm underneath the palm of his hand, and for a moment, Lyfrocier couldn't quite tell if the heartbeat he felt rattling in his ears was the dragonet's or his own.
For a few long seconds that stretched on and on, he remained silent, simply waiting for...something. Anything. Lyf wasn't sure if he needed to say anything or what--he'd never thought he'd be standing here in the first place, let alone actually communicating with a dragon in some way. He shifted in place, still touching the egg as he tried to compose the proper words.
Greetings. he began, keeping his thoughts far more measured than the pounding in his chest might suggest. I...am here to say hello, I suppose. So, here I am. How...eloquent of him. Lyf smothered a sigh, brow furrowing just slightly. Feel free to...observe me as you wish. That's what you're supposed to do, after all.

Vimeran | High Reaches
Vimeran was in no rush to get onto the Sands. He'd been doing this for just about six Turns now and he knew the first one to touch the egg wasn't guaranteed anything. There were Stands Impressions frequently and those people didn't touch the eggs so jostling for position now was pointless. He let younger and more eager Candidates brush by him as he walked into the little arena, bowing deeply to Khamiath before offering her mate and the clutch's sire shallower, but just as respectful bows. He'd learned the hard way to show respect where it was due - his first Touching he'd been pulled off the Sands before he could so much as look at an egg - and he'd made sure to do things properly from there on out.
Once his gaze turned to the eggs, Vimeran studied them for a bit, gauging the reactions from the other Candidates to figure out where he should start. Sometimes the eggs very vocal in their displeasure of being touched so he tried to give those space, knowing that if he were an egg that didn't want to he interacted with he'd want to be left alone. Easy enough. None of the eggs were giving off intense vibes like that, though, so he eventually made his way into the thick of things, heading for one of the eggs that seemed to be off on its own. He liked that and found a bit of kinship with the tiny egg right from the start.
He pressed his calloused hand against the Yellow Swirl Egg's shell, letting out a slow breath through his nose as he focused. He'd done this enough times to know how to interact with the eggs, keeping his thoughts calm and...well. Happy was a bit of a stretch. Vimeran wasn't sad or angry, but he wasn't bubbly and cheerful like so many of the other Candidates by his side.
G'morning. Nice day for a Touching. How's it been so far?

It had come that time again, with a clutch on the sands once more. Though there had been some fortune for Western Weyr, with two sizable clutches back to back. It had felt like a heartbeat since Niviora had been walking this same path down to the hatching sands once more, though there were three clutch parents instead of the previous two. There's the briefest flash of humor, for she'd seen that very queen toddle around a beach in Southern Boll before -- and here she was, with a clutch of her own… and Niviora still on the sands. But who knows! Perhaps Khamaith might be the queen she needed. Yet she turned, bowing to the mother before to each father in turn and casting her gaze around the clutch.
Yet it was one egg closer to her that drew her eye, and why not start there? Niviora's fingers gently traced one part of Golden Flourish's curls, before placing her palm against the warm egg. "Good morning. It's quite wonderful to meet you. Are you having an alright day?"
----------
Oh, oh…! Another clutch meant another touching, and another hatching just around the corner. There's a slight bounce to Dystzha's step, trying to see over the heads over some of the taller candidates. Only a few turns into standing, and never did the excitement at seeing a batch of eggs wear down. And -- oh, it stole her breath away. A first time mother had made such pretty eggs, and Dys couldn't wait to go meet every one of them.
Oh. Oh wait. Manners.
She paused, turning to bow to Khamaith, Baihath, and Turoth before focusing on the eggs in front of her. Which to see first? Hm, hm. There's the briefest glance about, trying to find her brother amidst the candidates mulling about, but failed to spot Zhaydegan. Oh well, perhaps she would catch up with him after.
Milling over to an egg, she beamed at Purple Galaxy, placing her hand gently on the shell. "Good morning! I hope your day is good. What's it like -- getting to meet so many people today?"

Raiden knew the ins and outs of Touchings by now, the etiquette that seemed more common sense than anything else, the atmosphere, the expectations… He was excited, he was determined, he was ready. He glanced around the crowd of candidates for his siblings, then focused on A'ral's words. As much as he might have been a candidate for four Turns now, lack of attentiveness would put him straight in the Candidate master's bad books.
Where nobody wanted to be.
He bowed to the three clutch parents as he entered the grounds, his affable smile lighting up his boyish face. What a beautiful clutch, he tried to tell them. Congratulations!
It was Black and Rainbow Swirl that captured his attention first, and he nodded to the egg as he greeted. Pleased to meet you little one. Are you as excited as I am right now?
Hope. It was always good to believe in something.
And these eggs represented hope.

That time again, and Shoxiel was excited -- if inwardly. He had control of his emotions, as he'd been taught, for he didn't want to upset the precious babies. But with another clutch on the sands just shortly after Esurienth's clutch? He couldn't help but be excited for the prosperous turn Western was having thus far. There's a blip of a moment, glancing around for the familiar form of his siblings, before he's entering the great hatching cavern, and there they were. A nestled set of beautiful eggs, a sight of love in every glance. No doubt Khamaith and Turoth had produced a healthy clutch, and with Baihath parenting as well, he was greatly looking forward to meeting these babies.
He bowed to each of the three clutchparents in turn, before stepping away to look between the eggs. There was a poetry about how beautiful and gleaming these shells were, but he had to start somewhere -- and thus it was the small Rose Egg that drew him closer. His hand gently touched the warm shell, and Shoxiel couldn't help but smile. 'Hello, little one. Your shell is quite a lovely color.' |

Teal Glow Egg
This egg would rock and wobble against Haveli's touch. But there was no ire, no malice, no anger. In fact, the egg instead would blast Haveli with nothing but pure, unadulterated joy. She was here to see it? HOW EXCITING! How thrilling! How amazing!! MOM! DADS! ITS BEING TOUCHED!! THIS CANDIDATES HERE TO MEET IT! LOOK LOOK LOOK! The excitement is palpable and Haveli, along with anyone else nearby, will find themselves feeling as thrilled as the little egg. Yeehaw!
Trude would be slammed with the excitement that the egg was already radiating. Another touch!? Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!! It's too much! LOOK! ANOTHER ONE!! LOOK AT THIS! ANOTHER PERSON TOUCHING IT! If an egg could laugh than this rocking, wobbling egg is absolutely manic with excitement. For being such a little egg, it certainly packs a wallop.
Any further afterthought would be shoved to the wayside from poor Amahno. Rocking and wobbling, this egg is thrilled. Not only being touched, but now an adventure buddy? MOM! DADS!! I MET A NEW FRIEND! LOOK! COME SEE!!!! SO MANY NEW FRIENDS AND ONE WE'RE GONNA GO ON ADVENTURES AND DO CRIMES!! BUT I WON'T TELL THAT PART! IT'S A SECRET! So much for that.
The jolt that Serrekhar had received earlier was now nothing but an overwhelming wave of excitement. BEST. DAY. EVER! LOOK! ANOTHER ONE TOO!! The egg is bubbling with nothing but sheer mirth and pleasure.
When Sivu would approach, just like the rest, he would get hit with a wall of adulation and excitement. LOOK! LOOK THIS ONE! ANOTHER AND ANOTHER!! SO MANY!!!!!!! The egg is literally shaking in its joy. WHO NEEDS COZY WHEN I HAVE ALL OF YOU!? I DO LIKE COZY THINGS THOUGH. ARE YOU COZY?
At this point, the excitement and joy is spilling over to any Candidate near the Teal Glow Egg
Gold Striped Egg
The egg would greet Kadosse with a wave of pleasure. Why hello there, cutie! Finally, someone was ready to give this egg its due! It was more than deserving of admiration, certainly! As if to prove it, the egg would give a little wiggle. How fun, no? What does Kadosse like to do for fun? Oh, do stay a minute! What's the rush to leave?
Orange Leopard Spot Egg
This egg continued to send all the affection and love an egg might possess, right to Matotoka. The egg was only too happy to find a receptive partner, and listened eagerly. If an egg could stroke a Candidate, as a mother might a child, this egg would be doing so with all the comfort and care it possessed. Surely, all this Candidate needed was a little hope! Clutchmates might be trying, but time can change things--and perhaps things will change. What's important is to never get up--if, at least, that's what Matotoka wants. One never knows what tomorrow will bring.
Green Tribal Egg
The tribal egg would give Eliaza a long once-over, before giving a little shift within its shell. Perhaps away from the newly-wiped hand. Yes, yes, that's all very well. It is a rather magnificent egg, isn't it? There's no doubt that it will be a brilliant affair once it does choose to break shell. Anyway, child, perhaps its best you seek out another egg? It's never in good taste to keep the eggs waiting.
Gold Striped Egg
First one, then another? This egg can't help but send a ray of geunine pleasure at Nashwa. Well hello to you too, doll! The pleasure is all this egg's! Its more than happy to meet Nashwa, and can't help but give a little happy wriggle. Now, why not stay a while? Soak up the heat with this egg? What's a few more minutes going to hurt--especially when they could all have some fun?
Green Tribal Egg
No sooner had it been touched by one Candidate, but another appeared. This time it was Aerden. The egg seemed to stifle a sigh as it turned to look over this new Candidate. Good day to you as well, sir. As fine a day for a Touching as an egg could ask for--except this egg hadn't asked for a Touching. Ah well. Such is the burden of being an egg.
Sunset Egg
Hey now--it is all good. So good. Elibrie, Juhvek, and Oranie would feel nothing but peace, calm, and happiness from this egg. No matter what might have happened before, this egg is simply happy to be here!
Oranie would find her worries about disturbing it laid to rest. Put your toes in the sand, and stay a bit. There's no rush to leave--you're more than welcome with Sunset Egg! All's well, and this glad is happy for the company.
Juhvek would find a wave of chill surrounding him. No need to worry, bro! All's well here--especially around Sunset Egg. No need to keep your guard up. Take a note from its book and kick up your feet, relax, and enjoy yourself.
Elibrie's concerns about being just Elibrie would be immediately washed away. No sense in thinking that! Surely, she's not just anything--at least not to Sunset Egg. Breathe deep, seek peace, and chill out with this egg. The sand's warm and inviting--why not bury in your toes and relax?
All three would find their cares washed away by this egg--even against the bark of the Candidatemaster.
Pink Striped Egg
Rykin would feel the being inside lean into the touch, pouring nothing but happy energy into his hand. So long as you're having a good time, that's all that matters! This egg is more than happy for Rykin to be here--and will happily speak for all its eggmates! The day couldn't possibly get any better! The longer Rykin stands around the Pink Striped Egg, the more rosy everything suddenly starts to look.
Purple Glitter Egg
Pleasure? Ha! This egg knows all about pleasure, thankyouverymuch. Now, if you want some tips, this egg is only too happy to share. If Allamor is at all a little scandalized, that seems to be the reaction the egg wants. That, and some more pets, thank you. Stick around--live a little. One more moment or two with the best egg on the Sands is sure to give you a pass! And if this A'ral person has problems, you can point right back to this, amazing egg.
Gold Striped Egg
Cut this short? Not only are you an absolute babe, but no, why would this egg want to cut it short? Look at all these beautiful Candidates, hanging around this beautiful egg? Why not stick around, Heleste, and have some fun? The egg would give a few wiggles, just to prove how badly it wants to rock...and maybe roll.
Gold Striped Egg
Well hello, handsome! The day's only getting better and better with more Candidates coming over to this egg! Someone needs to invite a Harper cause this party is hoppin'! ... you don't happen to know one, do you? Loctius would get hit with nothing but good vibes from this egg. Good vibes, and a sudden need to... dance?
Gold Striped Egg
Now this was really livin'! Yet ANOTHER Candidate! Surel would find any nerves immediately soothed by this egg. Lighten up, sweetheart! There's nothing to worry about--you're going to be brilliant, this egg believes in you! It's not overwhelming--it's wonderful! All we're missing is music and laughter and this group would be brilliant! Let's get this party started!
If Surel suddenly wanted to start moving to some unheart rhythm, it's clearly an influence from the egg.
In fact, anyone around or nearby the Gold Striped Egg would start feeling restless and have a desire to sing or dance or start getting a bit wild.. The egg itself is wobbling and rocking--and having a grand old time.
Prism Shine In case mama might notice.
Tsunake In case Papa might notice.
SilverLutz In case Dada might notice.
Green Tribal Egg
Mm, yes, what's this? The egg would give Orryxa a look before seeming to squirm deeper in the sands. Hello, child. Yes, hello, good day, and fare well! Do send my regards to the other eggs, and don't take the dismissal personally, sweetling. It's just I'm a terribly busy egg. Tata! Ciao!
Purple Glitter
Dystzha would be well received by this egg. Now this was what was expected! A glorious crowd surrounding it, and all the attention it could possibly want? Why doesn't she stick around, invite a friend, and take this egg in. Is it not perfection? Is it not the most beautiful egg? Say it.. Tell it it's beautiful.

Purple and Teal Swirl Egg
Why darling, I'm already beautiful enough to make any day a lovely one, the egg informed Etansi, more than pleased at her thoughts. Still, it enjoyed carefully browsing through, checking all of the nooks and crannies that it hadn't seen before. But thank you for saying so. You're just a peach, do you know that? The egg was practically... well, flirtatious. Certainly it was complimentary, at any rate.
Spotted Green
H-H-H-Hello, the dragonet all but stuttered back, though how one could give the mental impression of a stammer was a mystery. Yet somehow the egg had managed. Um. Hello. Is... everything all right? it asked, sounding a trifle unsure.
Purple Galaxy Egg
I think the question you should be asking is whether my lifemate is ready to meet me? The suave, urbane tone of the egg was quite out of keeping with its small proportions. But oh it did seem delighted to have the attention, and leaned slightly against Tyanan's hand.
Yellow Swirl Egg
Well, when she put it that way! All of them! They are all great! Maaaaybe... Purple Glitter? It was a very shiny egg! A very big shiny egg! Everything was REALLY EXCITING!
Green Pink Striped Egg
No, the egg said with what amounted to a sniff. No one had given it the proper attention. This egg was due a certain amount of true admiration, and so far the compliments it had received were only a little over awed. How disappointing.
Purple Galaxy Egg
Yes, just like that, but more, the egg laughed, rolling slightly so that it could lean into Papys's touch. What fun this was! Ah, the egg definitely deserved every moment of attention. Whether it could keep this going was another thing.
Spotted Green Egg
By the time that Alisaide's hand had touched the egg, Spotted Green was certainly feeling more the thing. Hello, it said quietly, seeming a little bashful yet appreciative of the compliment. I don't know about that, but it's very kind of you to say. As nice as it was to hear, truth be told.
Rose Egg
How kind of you to ask! the egg exclaimed, delighted. But I am right as rain, my dear. Right as rain. It was a happy egg at present, and how could it be anything but? It was surrounded by its loving siblings and its parents were near. All of the Candidates had been so kind, too.
Purple Galaxy Egg
This was... splendid! The egg was having quite a brilliant time of it. Why everything, darling! Just everything. I'm in an egg, after all. At present all it could see were images from its parents and the Candidates who touched its egg. But this contact was wonderful.
Rose Egg
The egg gave an impression of a blush. Everyone had such lovely things to say! It's a wonderful day! the egg confessed, as if confessing to some deep secret. It was just over the moons with how perfectly charming everyone had been! And you? How are you?
Orange Galaxy Egg
If the egg shared Zhaydegan's opinion, it certainly didn't let it show. Or much of anything show, really. It did, however, take his measure. There was no way of telling how it felt about him, however, as it gave no sign at all.
Yellow Swirl Egg
WHAT! the egg could not contain its excitement at that. Do I?? Do I really glow? Reaching out for its mother, the egg continued: Mama, am I glowing??? Am I really glowing?
Black and Rainbow Swirl Egg
... Hem hem. Was that... an attempt at flattery? I will thank you, good sir, not to presume that I should be so easily swayed as all of that! the egg rebuked softly, practically drawing itself up in mild indignation. One places one's hand upon a shell. I should imagine that ought to suffice as an explanation.
Rose Egg
It is everything that is charming, my dear! the egg delighted in telling Savindri. What a marvelous place to be, and around so many good eggs, too! And such splendid people. The Rose Egg was having quite a lovely time, it truly, truly was. And you? How do you enjoy it? For indeed, Savindri was around a number of other Candidates at present.
Spotted Green Egg
Oh, the egg's hearts went out to poor Aelyx, who surely understood the touch of anxiety it had felt not so long ago. You're doing so well, it whispered, shyly brushing its own thoughts against hers. Surely she wouldn't mind that, it had to hope.
Golden Flourish Egg
Yes, this egg was destined for big important things. That much was true. It was pleased that someone else had taken notice of that very fact. As for him, he seemed a bit... subdued. Why was that?
Black and Rainbow Swirled Egg
How do you do? the egg inquired graciously, noting his polite greeting. If his emotions seemed a trifle unwound, well, the egg was not going to draw attention to that fact. It was a mannerly egg, and it had no intention of behaving so badly. I am well indeed. A fine affair, a Touching. A bit overdone at times, of course, but one mustn't quibble when one is on the receiving end, I suppose.
Golden Flourish Egg
On the whole, the egg had to agree with Nuamia. It was having a perfectly fine day, and if there were a few hiccups here and there, well... it wasn't going to point them out. Why sugar plum, it's a beautiful day. From what the egg could see, anyway.
Rose Egg
Charmed, I'm sure! the egg said, and it was clear that it meant it. What a nice boy! And so very polite. It so appreciate how wonderful everyone was being. In fact, it was so happy it gave off beams of joy to everyone around it.
Golden Flourish Egg
The egg preened under the attention, certainly, but gave the impression that it was waiting for something. A touch more effusive praise, perhaps? Why, sugar, I know that. But how sweet of you to say. Whether it actually felt that way was another question.
Rose Egg
Still giving off positive rays of happiness, the egg gave Rasthell the mental equivalent of a hug. There now. Do you feel better? it asked, letting him soak in the joy that seemed to suffuse it. What a lovely, lovely day! And ... he'd called it a beauty! Oh my, I don't know what to say. This is all too much!
Yellow Swirl Egg
I'M GLOWING! Do you see me? I'M GLOWING! Oh, it was so excited, just so stoked. It couldn't believe how amazing this was! It was a glowing egg! It didn't even mind that Valendyr thought it was off to the side for some particular reason. Yesssss. Glowing!
Orange Galaxy Egg
There was no response from the egg. It did not move, it did not stir. It did, however, take Rahimar's careful measure. Whatever it thought or felt about him, it did not say.
Orange Galaxy Egg
Nothing. Not a peep, not a budge, not a thought. The egg did as it had done before, and simply weighed and measured Lyfrocier. It did not have any interest in revealing itself to him or anyone else.
Yellow Swirl Egg
GLOWING!!!!!!!!! The egg had been reduced down to one excited thought. One wildfire thought that it just couldn't let go of. It beamed with happiness, and excitement, certain that it was in fact glowing. Surely the glow was quite visible and quite real.
Golden Flourish Egg
The egg supposed that one could describe the most important day of its life up until now as 'all right', but really now. It is certainly all right. Are you all right? A good question, in the egg's opinion. It wasn't entirely sure at this point.
Purple Galaxy Egg
Oozing with smugness, the egg did not at all mind the renewed attention. Tons of them, darling. Just tons. And where was the lie? It had had so many hands upon its shell, and many of them had remained put for the duration. To say that it was pleased with itself was an understatement.
Black and Rainbow Swirl Egg
Quiet for a moment, the egg pondered. Was it excited? I suppose I must be excited, but this is a very important, very serious moment. We might find our lifemates today. As exciting as that surely was, the egg could not help but feel that such an occasion demanded a... well, it demanded a certain sense of dignity.
Rose Egg
By now the egg's zone of happiness had extended well beyond what some might assume was its reach, and it was being fed more and more by the moment. Hello! Oh, do you think so? How kind of you! Everyone was just so kind!
NOTE: If you are near the Yellow Swirl Egg you will be hit with a wave of excitement and shiny. If you are near the Rose Egg, you will be hit with a wave of happiness.

Instantly a blush settled over Etansi's cheeks at the compliment and she swallowed around what felt like a rock in her throat of confusion but despite the confusion she was thrilled. Really thrilled. "Thank you, you're a wonderful little egg, when the time comes I hope your partner is everything you're looking for." And they would be, as she knew full well that dragons never missed their mark when impressing. Still, she left it with a warm feeling and removed her hand to move on, only to be smacked in the proverbial face by 'excitement' of a kind she personally never felt outside of the times when she would steal.
Those weren't good exciting times though and were far behind her.
No, this was excitement pouring off at least one egg, or possibly more from what she was feeling. For just a second she stood and let that feeling envelop her and then passed the feeling off herself so she could be clear headed when touching the next egg. Luckily for her the next egg was right beside her, or had been before she'd taken a couple steps away from the last one she'd touched. Etansi took the steps back and placed her hand on the Black and Rainbow Swirl Egg. Her head was clear and she was in awe, as she was with all the eggs shells, with all the babies inside.
"Hope you've been meeting some good people, and meet more." She said quietly as her fingers idly traced the swirls. It was the first impression that any candidate could make, touching an egg, but the babies inside were the most important ones of all.
