Revelio and Open Sesame! Double Clutch Hatching!

[ShinosBee]

Watching them all bustle and flee and worry and wonder and hope was...fascinating. The whirling eye of Forbidden Forest remained happily pressed to the tidy hole in its shell for some long moments, simply observing as many filed forth, and one or two were claimed. The eye focused on no one in particular, affording all an even span of attention. They were all interesting, those tiny lives, going about their own self-contained world. Each unique.

None quite right.

Until...oh. There. They'd caught just a glimpse, between two or three others as they all milled about like so many insects buzzing to and fro.

There you are... the voice purred, the lone visible eye bleeding to purple and green and blue, before being swept up in rainbow tint. My own precious one. In a rippling cascade the egg's shell fell away into little more than slivers, pooled around the slowly unwinding green's feet. Without hesitation she rose, moving without pause and with clear intent, carving a line directly to sit, expectantly at the feet of one young man.

Vesun, I waited so long. I looked inside them all, but none were just right. But you? You, I think, are perfect. And you are perfect for your Baciuth.

Fahn

More and more dragons were impressing now, and it seemed that beyond that...situation, everything had diffused down. But pain would continue to tug at hearts, and there was much sadness that would be poured out more openly once every dragon found what was theirs and continued on their way.

However, the amusement that was Firebolt was still worth the small giggle it pulled from the woman, no matter how close she continued to keep to both Jeri and Helane now. Her energy was not gone, but perhaps the boiling over of so many feelings had drawn it down to a low simmer for the time being. Maybe in time it would boil over as it always did, ready and raring to go.

"I still don't think I'll relax until they're all impressed, now..." she murmured.

Juhvek

It seemed the bronze Slytherin had chosen what was his before the healer was finished with him, and Juhvek...was frankly fine with that. A bronze was too fine of a dragon for somebody like him - and he preferred it that way. But it was at least clear now he wasn't going to die, and after some back and forth with Alosha, he was back on the sands, feeling more sore than ever.

Hmmmm.  

[houllow]

FISHER

With the bronze impressed and a green hatching and impressing, things seemed to be feeling better and calmer. Kinye at least looked like she wasn't as weepy and so Fisher considered that a massive win in her book regardless of what else happened at the hatching. "I'll do whatever it is you wanna do. I won't just force you into doin' somethin', so I'll follow your lead."

YURASTAR

Yurastar was still on the sands, just watching. Lovely greens.

Haveli

Haveli groaned inwardly as she watched the bronze present rainbow eyes to someone she knew was going to be insufferable from here out, but she couldn't really begrudge him. This whole hatching seemed to be "people get what they wish for", like some weird sort of....magic? Or at least some strange outside force controlling things in a manner beyond her comprehension.

But with two dragonets now impressed, she let out an ugly sigh and rubbed the back of her head before moving back to the crowds of candidates. She'd stopped looking for Arlie.

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

SOUI

It looked as though Dehka and the yelling stranger had made it to the healers proper, and that was a relief for Soui. The little teen remained absolutely still, watching and waiting.  

[Andranis]

Tarnaria

Finally, the pain was starting to become little more than a dull throb. With some effort, and ignoring the pain as it flared up again, Tarnaria rose back to her feet. She wobbled, then looked at the dragons forming bonds. Oh, so many of them already... How many had she missed? With another wobble, she sank back to the sand, simply... Sitting. She couldn't keep standing, but she wouldn't be moved so easily. It could make it easier to not get knocked over, she supposed.

Lady Grey

Shifting where she was, Lady Grey watched more young dragons pair off with people. Some appeared apologetic, others relieved... A couple demanding... At least one that was clearly under the impression it would get pampered, from what she could see. But she suddenly became aware of something, that even being by the stands, she would be easy to reach and get clawed up. With a glance, she turned and went to find a spare spot higher up in the stands. She'd get a good view, but she'd also be out of reach of angry hatchlings, right?  

[Tsunake]

Dynzrak -- Impression post

As soon as those eyes caught his own, Dynzrak felt his steps slowing in the sand. A smile curled at his lips before it broke out into a full grin, and the redhead laughed. After all that teasing at the the Touching, after all that time basking in the adoring, envious gazes of the boys that wanted him so badly... Slidrianth chose him. He knew it. He'd known, ever since he'd touched that green shell.

Oh! The small bronze raised his head indignantly, the rainbow hues of his eyes immediately fading to a baleful red. You did not! Don't flatter yourself! His was certainly not helping his sulk, oh no!

Alright, alright. Dynzrak was still grinning widely as he approached the tired dragonet, even as Slindrianth lifted his head to watch him almost imperiously. Should we get you fed?

There was an indignant huff, and the bronze tucked his head under his wing once more. Perhaps I am not very hungry after all. Sulk. Sulk. Sulk.

Dynzrak considered that for a moment... and then stooped, easily gathering his perfect, tiny bronze into his arms. Slindrianth lashed his tail with surprise... and then settled into his rider's arms. Yes, this was much preferable to walking. Dynz paused for a moment to catch Amare's eye, his grin widening with no small amount of cheek before he walked them both towards the other newly Impressed candidates... no, Weyrlings.

Cousins. Siblings. He greeted them all with genuine warmth, his eyes whirling even as Dynzrak set him down and meat. Daintily, he opened his mouth and chewed on whatever pieces he was offered, humming to himself with pleasure.

Niika - EGG BETTING TRACKING

More impressions, more bets. Niika sighed into her list, thankful that things had settled down while trying to keep that burning envy in her heart from setting fire to everything she was feeling right then.

She was already planning her evening, and it involved a certain green, her rider, and a bottle of something strong enough to maybe knock both of them on their asses for the next turn. Of course, he'd never let her get that bad - and he himself had too much self control. But it was worth the entertaining thought, at least.

Mystery Egg Two:
Finally, the egg fell apart, and a green dragon fell out of her white shell. She seemed not at all fussed or alarmed, spreading her wings wide, and giving a happy cheep. Well, well, well....now that she was here.... Time to look everyone over!

Struggling to her feet, the green seemed oblivious to the carnage that had taken place moments before.

Mystery Egg Three:
A few more hesitant scratches and then finally a blue dragon wing burst through the shell. It gave a little shake, and the shell shattered around him. Without hesitation, as sure on his feet as if he'd hatched earlier on, the blue dragon immediately sprang forward.

Why all the long faces? Tired out all ready when he'd only just arrived?

Mystery Egg Four:
The yellow and pink striped tipped, and suddenly rolled. Ack! Whoever was inside seemed to give a start of surprise, before the egg cracked and out spilled yet another blue. Though the dragon rolled onto the sands, he finally came to a stop and gave an irritated hiss. Eyes flashed yellow-red in surprised and irritation. This wasn't how he'd meant to make an entrance, not at all!

Mystery Egg Five:
Back and forth the egg shook, the dragonet clearly wanting out. The egg bulged where the being inside seemed to kick and push. Out, out, out! There were things to do and they couldn't do it while stuck in this egg! Pushing, shoving, its hard work was finally rewarded when the egg gave way, and out came a green arm.

Of course.... that was the only part the green managed to get out, and it began to flail. Ouch! This shell wasn't as cozy when its edges were biting into her little arm! In its flailing, a tail broke through, and finally, a hind leg. The egg shell collapsed, and finally there stood a red eyed little green.  

[faesinger]

“Pleasure to meet you.” Veltanna said genuinely as she followed Dhawsn. “The egg is adorable. Maybe they will find theirs before even getting out of the shell!” She laughed lightly.

Someone was moving out of the line and Veltanna realized that it was Dynzrak. Was he..? He was. He had impressed the bronze. Well. She had mixed feelings. She was elated for Dynzrak and resigned to having to deal with the showboater. She would get a lot of practice regulating her thoughts, at least?

“Looks like he isn’t yours.” She shrugged. “There are still so many to go. This is taking a long time. Even I am starting to get hungry. The poor babies must be starving.” She watched as even more got out of their shells.

Kinyegele

"Oh!"

Four more eggs had hatched, and Kinye seemed to absolutely inflate with a returned sense of security - whether that was excitement about baby dragons or the safety offered by the large woman was uncertain. "Some of them don't look the happiest, but more greens!" It was very clear what the tiny girl had her heart set on, and it was also the very thing that if she'd been looking to buy a house would have made her overlook every fault in a very obviously haunted house.

When Poor Unfortunate Souls suddenly piped up, Kinye nearly lept into Fisher's side....then looked up at the woman with a face that said 'Do we help?'

Well, despite their hopes, the little bronze had chosen someone else. Still, as they turned to apologize to Lucious for getting his hopes up, they noted the glance he'd cast in the direction of another dragonet still lingering. "Maybe that one? You never know. He seems nice though." It was true. That one had come from an egg they'd especially liked. Of course, being a bronze, it made no matter. But it was nice to know that an egg they'd got on well with had hatched into such a splendid dragonet. If she'd only been born a boy, perhaps...well. No point wondering.

And then...a voice? They looked about, unsure quite where from...oh. One of the eggs. But...They hesitated, hanging back.

Theo
His grin was back in full force when the bashful bronze indeed impressed, being scooped up and carried off. Oh! How adorable! In his haste to sketch the scene he missed the squeaky noises from Regory—who had stretched his neck up up up to tap his snout against that cute-nose when she leaned down next—but he caught himself smiling all the more for no real reason he could discern. "Thank you Hes, that is good to hear." And it was. Perhaps that's why he felt so pleased?

"Four more...gracious but there are so many." As if remembering something, he twisted in his seat, plucking a wineskin and a bundle of wrapped paper. Inside—fruits and a few pastries. "Since it seems we'll be here a bit longer still, and I'd hate to think of you g-growing hungry when I've got this..."

A voice distracted him then, and he frowned, again turning away to press a palm to one ear. Perhaps he ought to see a healer while in the Weyr, if he was hearing odd things.

[faesinger]

The voice was asking for help. Veltanna looked over at the Poor Unfortunate Souls Egg. “Is…Are they asking for help getting out of the shell?” Surely one of the siblings or cousins would help. Right? But if they didn’t…Every instinct told Veltanna to help but training told her to not. She began to walk towards the egg, trying to decide what to do.

Saekagi

.... Another request from another dragon??

Not directly to him, just... a general request for aid... but... he glanced around him, searching to see if they were asking one of their kin or a candidate, and others seemed just as uncertain.

...You weren't... -supposed- to touch the eggs though...

He swallowed hard, looked around again and took a cautious step or two forward, stopped and hesitated again.

"...Us??" He asked, out loud, uncertainly. Maybe Poor Unfortunate Souls would clarify... "I mean... If you.... I..."

His stomach did a little flop. Dragons had helped each other out before... but ... He edged another step or two toward the egg, glancing around and afraid to touch the egg without being answered, willing to let another take over for him.  

[ShinosBee]

Finnisa
Welp, things finally seemed back to normal. Dragons were impressing, no one was bleeding...But then, oh? A voice? She swung her glance around, fixing it on one of the wiggling eggs. "Looks like it wants help..." She glanced to Zyamel, and then began calmly, casually walking that way. "I don't think we're meant to help directly, little guy...girl?" She mused to the egg. "I mean. We can hear you though. Maybe ask yours directly, if you know who that is?" She wouldn't mind lending a hand, but also knew they'd been told to be careful. A direct request from a dragonet though...you were supposed to comply, right?

It was very confusing when different advice and rules clashed.
