Tyara-She/Her
Tyara felt the reassuring wave of affection towards her from the little one in the green vine egg. She sent her own appreciation back to the baby, hoping it picked up on it. Wait, of course it could, this was still very new to her. She was glad it seemed to be in such a good mood, seemed to just be radiating that happiness. When asked which eggs she liked, she felt the egg shift enough as if its attention was on her. More and more she was getting how different each of these eggs was.
To be honest, I have only met two of you so far. Your sibling on the other end of the clutch and you. And you both have been so very kind to me in your own ways, I like you both. However, if I meet anymore of your siblings and have time, I could certainly tell you if I like them too,the black haired girl responded. She made sure her hair was over the right side of her face.
((She doesn't mind staying longer, least til someone else comes to visit smile ))

Butterfly Wing Egg
Kedriom would receive an equally regal regard from the egg before him--before a warmth of humor and amusement would trickle through their bond. Are you truly ready for me, young man? We'll just have to wait and see come Hatching day! Mirth would color the egg's words, but also a welcoming warmness. The egg was pleased to be approached by such a stout-hearted young man, and honestly, as far as the egg was concerned, it was indeed a great honor to meet it. I do believe in the importance of first impressions but I assure you--breathe easy--you're brilliant just as you are. And the egg was most confident about that!
Hunthyex
The egg would next turn its regard on Hunthyex, and if an egg could give a nod--or even perhaps a bow--it would do so. How considerate of the Candidate--why yes, this egg is receiving its due and all the proper attention an egg could want. At least as much as one can while still being generous! ts siblings deserve their share of attention, after all! What of Hunthyex though? Is he enjoying its clutchmates? The egg genuinely wished to know.
Sketchy Cupcake Egg
Oh ho! OH HO! A sudden surge of mischief would hit, not just Jaleeri but anyone near Sketchy Cupcake Egg She'd done it! Blimey! Oh, you are a doll--most happily obliged! See you at the Hatching! And though Jaleeri had only patted down the sand and cause, seemingly, minimal disruption...
It was all the egg needed. That little pile of sand was keeping it from gaining the momentum it needed. It rocked back towards Jaleeri, with the patted down sand, only to jerk hard the other way---and down the mound it went.
This was living! All eyes were going to be on this egg! Ahahahahaha! Time to get this show on the road! The little egg would crow, rolling faster, and faster, until it smacked right into Chocolate Chip Cookie Egg
Tsunake Incoming...Chocolate Chip Cookie!
Sweet Symmetry Since Mama's watching--little egg was off like a shot
SilverLutz SORRY! The egg didn't think Jaleeri would do it but is sure glad it did!

Pansexual Flag Egg
... The egg was given pause by Isha's remark. What could Isha do to ease its pain? Surely nothing. What, indeed, could Isha do for an unhatched egg? The egg brooded, now seemingly lost in its own thoughts and no longer responding.
...
Whatever the egg had needed after Isha's misguided effort to provide aid, Jihiro's cheer was not it. Did he understand its suffering? No. It didn't want to have a trivial conversation in its moment of woe.
It had better reject him before he surely, inevitably, rejected it.
Pawprint Heart Egg
Melka's, Melka's memories, were almost too much for the egg. Oh, oh dear! It had not been ready for such knowledge. But then she soothed it, letting the egg retreat back into safer territory. It was definitely confused. What did... cute mean?
Like a breath of fresh air, here was Yeliya who only wanted to hug the egg. A sense of relief swept through it, transferring to the girl in turn. It didn't mind that for Yeliya it was an indulgence; for the egg, it was comfort offered at a critical moment.
Pansexual Flag Egg
Jhiroquel moved on too quickly for the egg to respond, but it was not in a state to do so anyway.
Pawprint Heart Egg
Oh! Yes, this was exactly how the egg felt. It liked the attention, but it was definitely overwhelming. Did Oranie also feel overwhelmed? A gentle curiosity would settle over the young woman, even as she touched its shell. The curiosity was, of course, entirely the egg's own.
Cloudy Skies Egg
My dear girl, the Cloudy Skies Egg said with a hint of roguish amusement, you are entirely correct. It was quite a fabulous egg, wasn't it? It seemed to preen a little under Miomellai's gaze, enjoying her appreciation immensely.

Melka
Melka wasn't far from her sister's heels. "That little one is half-buried! Definitely could use a bit more attention, I'd say!" Thankfully, Melka was more than happy to give it. Like her sister, she reached out to touch White Tiger Egg, and traced her fingers down its stripes. Hello there! What's a good looking egg doing so buried? Enjoying yourself covered in the nice warm sands? She wasn't even an egg and she certainly enjoyed sunning on the sands on a warm beach in summer.
Lusialu
Lusialu pressed against the Gold Sunbeam Egg just a moment or two longer, taking in the little egg's comfort, and more than happy to linger. It was so kind, so good--how could she not want to remain? It was a nice, safe little egg--and she was happy to be in its company. But she also knew that its eggmates might wish to be given their due, and others might want a chance to meet Gold Sunbeam, too. So, after a few more moments of relishing the little egg, she gave it a fond farewell. Thank you for being so good. She thought at the egg, grateful for its time. She couldn't wait to see what hatched from such sweetness. Whoever Impressed it would be very lucky, indeed.
Seeing that Oranie had returned, but wanting to give her a little space, she made her way to the Pansexual Flag Egg. She had just lain down her hand against the brightly colored, pretty egg when anothere egg suddenly moved. Though she was surprised, and a bit alarmed--the eggs surely were too soft for such jostling, weren't they?--she did focus on the little one before her. Hello in there. I hope you don't mind another visitor. Your egg was so inviting, so pretty. She thought admiringly.
Razanel
The Worried Bear Egg was a bit of a surprise, At first, he got the impression the egg was displeased--but after what seemed like an impossibly long moment, the egg seemed gentler, softer. Razanel was almost self-conscious--whatever did it find? Still, he felt the comforting pat--albeit awkwardly--before the egg left. Should he stay? Would it be okay? Well, no sense in making it uncomfortable by lingering. Good luck. I hope you find worthy Candidates to meet.
Moving away from Worried Bear Egg, Razanel made his way over to Green Vine Egg. He had just settled his hands on the egg, id stop when an egg suddenly moved. Now that eggmate has somewhere to-- When it smacked into another egg, Razanel did wince. He hoped it would be okay! Still, he pet the little egg, perhaps reassuringly--whether it needed it or not. Seems like some of your eggmates are getting a little wild. Are you having a nice time? You're not going to roll off anywhere, are you?

White Tiger Egg
Ah. The Sketchy Cupcake Egg had...left. The White Tiger Egg wasn't quite sure how its sibling had managed to do such a thing, truthfully, but that wasn't the most important part--it was very suddenly alone in a more genuine sense, and without its larger clutchmate, it felt a little exposed.
But--perhaps this was a good thing. Perhaps it was an opportunity to be outside of someone else's shadow, to try something new, even! It could-- It could stand on its own, metaphorically speaking! The egg shifts, and it begins to try and right itself with a flurry of quick jerks--
--oh right there's candidates. Very, um. Very close candidates, even.
Oh dear.
Draza comes a bit close to getting bopped as the egg abruptly comes to a stop, going still as soon as her hand makes full contact with its shell.
Hello. It wasn't quite so much a word as it was--a feeling, really, only sounding slightly taken aback. Er. Feeling, rather. There's a moment of almost sheepish hesitation, but the White Tiger Egg uses it as an opportunity to gather its wits back about itself and respond to her properly.
It wouldn't bemoan its position in the clutch, as Mother certainly knew best, but...perhaps Draza might be so inclined to bring over a few of her friends. The egg doesn't yet have the words for the kind of desire it has in its hearts, but it's by no means stingy with its feelings of excitement (and even a little bit of longing, truthfully speaking) that arose from the idea of finding its rider here among the candidates. Would she help it...?
Rayarner was equally close to being clocked by the egg in its throes of enthusiasm, but his touch put a stop to its movements rather effectively all the same, settling merely a moment after Draza's hand had made contact as well. He wanted to know what this felt like--? Did it have the words to describe it, it wondered--hm. Nothing to do but try.
The first feeling to reach him is...hazy, but comfortably so. It was a warm, gentle sensation, like being wrapped in your favorite blanket and given a nice mug of klah on a cold winter's morning--it had picked up those feelings from its cautious browsing, and it was rather excited to get to use them here. But the Sands below were more than mere comfort, really--to the White Tiger Egg, every grain was the weyr reaching up to embrace its newest protectors with an a--ardent, yes--kind of love.
Hm. It still felt as though it had missed the mark, somehow, and the egg gives the mental equivalent of a huff at the realization. It wasn't quite right, but perhaps Rayarner would understand all the same.
Much like her sister and Rayarner, Melka also came a little close to being bopped. The White Tiger Egg is quick with its apologies, delivered in a somewhat distant way; they're certainly genuine, but it feels almost lost in thought, trying to search its hearts for exactly the right way to communicate itself now that it had been stymied. Did she-- Would Melka perhaps know what to say? To describe the warmth of family and the earth below, to be so surrounded by potential that the thought of what they could all be was almost too much; it was captivating, perhaps even enough for Melka to be sucked in by.
She'd. Said something, though. To it, directly.
It sort of--pauses, and she may be able to feel rather than hear its (bashful, even if its composure held strong) laughter at the thought. Good looking, she'd said? My, my. It wasn't sure about that, given its lack of...external perception of itself, but it would gladly accept such gracious praise all the same.
Gold Sunbeam Egg
Good! Good, good, excellent even--it had vaguely begun to grasp the concept of snow from the memories it had sifted through already, and Relku was now the (hopefully) delighted recipient of all the sunshine the Gold Sunbeam Egg could muster. Which...was a lot, as it just so happened to be; its nickname was not an unfitting one, that much was certain. If he wasn't careful, Relku might even find some of it beginning to rub off on himself, a buoyant sort of feeling that it hoped would help bolster him throughout the Touching to be sure he was at his best for its clutchmates.
The pat draws a brief flurry of activity from within, the hatchling coming perhaps a little close to tipping its own egg back over. Was he enjoying meeting all of its siblings? --Oh, oh no, oh dear. It had taken up so much of his time already, hadn't it? If he wanted to meet the others, he was more than welcome to do so! The Gold Sunbeam Egg was simply happy to have had the opportunity to speak with him in the first place, and it was doing everything it could to be sure that he felt it.
Was it excited? Oh, yes! Absolutely, yes, it was beyond ecstatic to meet them all like this. It may not have been face to face, exactly, but the Gold Sunbeam Egg knew that it wouldn't be too long until it could actually see them in person! And--well, it wanted to see Beelim and all his friends! (Maybe not his brother right now, but that--it would get over that soon, it thought, just as long as things were resolved positively, please) Were they all saying nice things? It hoped so, and earnestly at that. It didn't have a mean thing to say about anybody, itself! Perhaps a slightly disapproving thought, but not for him; Beelim would receive nothing but an almost effervescent sort of happiness regardless of the egg's other ideas.
No, the...thing with Besilin would not darken Gold Sunbeam's mood--at least, not now. Beelim deserved its full attention, as did each candidate here!
Of course the Gold Sunbeam Egg didn't mind a new hand on its shell, and Shekkeh was welcomed as warmly as those who had came before her. And after a quick look, it was practically overjoyed that she'd chosen it of all the eggs here to meet. She'd gone so many places and seen so many things out there! Surely she had an appreciation for the beauty of Pern--the egg wanted to see it all for itself, or at least as much of it as it could. There's a sense of pure wonderment at the notion, and it may even be a little infectious if Shekkeh wasn't quite prepared for it; it was so, so pleased with what it had been shown, and Gold Sunbeam wanted nothing more than to show her that same sort of happiness.
Still--she knew that feeling already, and it was equally pleased to note that. Her family had been so warm and loving, and the Gold Sunbeam Egg can relate; it loved its family more than anything else, even though it hadn't quite seen them all yet, and it was a big one, too! Was there anyone particularly captivating that she'd already spoken to already? It loved its siblings equally, of course, but it would be so delighted to hear that its clutchmates were having a good time as well.
Youuuuu.
Besilin, by contrast, was still being held in somewhat stiff regard by the Gold Sunbeam Egg. This was about when it noticed the first major flaw in its plan, something that it had been too preoccupied with the meat of the matter to address when it had first been putting the (admittedly very, very brief) amount of thought it could muster toward what it was going to do about what it had not-quite-witnessed.
It...did not have hands to point with, to direct him towards his brother and imply the need for an apology. Or really much of a way to indicate to Besilin what was wrong in a way that wasn't terribly direct, which--almost felt a little...
Well. Maybe not.
You left him. It's a prickling, needling kind of thought, but it's not an angry one. It knew he loved Beelim--it could feel it, and had felt the same sort of love from his twin as well. So why had he wandered off so quickly? It--genuinely didn't seem to understand, and almost seemed to be...upset by the idea.
Oh! Oh, hello, Eralgais! The Gold Sunbeam Egg eagerly turned its attention to this new boy, eagerly latching on to his memories of the weyr with just as much relish as it had with Relku. Another one with dragons practically in their blood, born and bred at the weyr--it could relate to that, of course, and it was glad to meet him as (sort of, given the current...unhatched state of itself) equals. It had caught hold of the idea of family time, and was rather interested in that--was this family time, then? It liked the sound of that, honestly! How did it do family time? Would he like to...have that? It's fine if it's only for a short while, as the Gold Sunbeam Egg knew how much he wanted to meet as many of its siblings as he could while he had this first chance.
Eralgais receives the mental equivalent of a gentle tug on his sleeve, quietly requesting just a bit more of his attention. It didn't want to keep him if he wanted to go see everyone else, but it wanted the opportunity to meet him properly, too!

Jaleeri
The wave of mischief that washed over Jaleeri should have let her know something was about to happen, but she never would have guessed Sketchy Cupcake Egg would roll that far or that fast! The farewell made her tilt her head just before the egg left where she stood, zooming along as if it had already sprouted legs and was running. And then it smashed into Chocolate Chip Cookie Egg.
Whoops.
"Ah..." Jaleeri stood for a moment where the egg had left her before following the path Sketchy had made, making her way to where the two eggs now pressed against one another. She touched Chocolate Chip Cookie Egg very gently, hopeful that nothing had been damaged, shell or baby.
"Are you all right in there?" she asked, surveying Sketchy Cupcake Egg as best she could from her spot to see if there were any unwanted dents or cracks in that shell as well. Dragon eggs were pretty hardy things so hopefully there were just some rattled brains in there and no injuries. She'd feel awful if that were the case.
---
Rayarner
Before White Tiger Egg could respond, some commotion near him made Rayarner lift his head. A wave of mischief smothered him for a moment just before the large Sketchy Cupcake Egg made a break for it, rolling away and leaving the Candidates that had been touching it in its dust. He winced as it made contact with Chocolate Chip Cookie Egg, the sound a rather unpleasant one, but before he could even think about diverting his path to go check on the poor thing the White Tiger Egg began to jerk around.
Turning his attention back to the smaller egg, he had to jerk his head back a bit to avoid being bumped. Once the egg settled again it seemed to contemplate his question, and slowly an image and a feeling began to form. Cozy, pleasant, a little fuzzy around the edges...but over all, a very comforting place to spend their first few sevendays on Pern.
"I'm glad it's a cozy spot," he said softly, his tone genuine and warm. "Sounds like it will be hard to leave it once it's time."

Eliaza
She couldn't recall a time when she'd felt quite so clearly that the dragons still curled inside their eggs really [i[yearned for the Candidates touching them, but she was certainly getting that impression now. It only made her heart beat faster, harder, and made the anticipation of what would happen at the Hatching that much sweeter.
But to the immediate question from the Butterfly Wing Egg: Well. I haven't actually met that many of the others, yet. There's a bigger egg that looks sor of like a cookie, she reported, and hey were lovely and warm, and then there's you, of course, and I think I could sit almost all day with you if --
She broke off with as the Cupcake Egg released a wave of enthusiasm and then started rolling? Toward her and the eggs and -- "Oh no!" What could she do? What could she do? Get between them? No, she'd get smashed by an egg that big, but if she didn't, then the eggs -- especially the little butterfly egg -- might be crushed too, and --
"Look out!" she called out, out loud, while she tried to warn the eggs, too. Somehow.
Jhiroquel
Your mother knows best where you should be, for now, of course. Of course. There was absolutely no contradiction to that fact on Jhiroquel's mind a all.
The question posed was one to ponder. It depends on the circumstance, I suppose. There's value in being seen and recognized. There's maybe more to be said for observing and learning before taking a step forward, so you're sure it's the right step. Which lined up with his teaching. Training, really. Do you feel like you're learning a lot about us? he asked the Aubergine Egg ... before the Cupcake Egg began it's tumble.
What was to be done about that? SHould he intervene? Could he? He was big enough, certainly, but if he damaged the eggs, somehow...
Yeliya
It was an indulgence, it was a secret joy, and Yeliya enjoyed her egg hug very much. "Thank you," she whispered into the shell as she eased back a bit. "That was exactly what I nee-- wait, what?" THe Cupcake Egg was excited and hen the Cupcake Egg was rolling! Righ toward other eggs and Candidates and, hand still on the Pawprint Heart Egg, she tensed and held her breath.
Eralgais
It took everything Eralgais had not to simply flop down, sprawl out in the sand and bask beside the Golden Sunbeam Egg. This is definitely family time. And yeah! Bring it on! I'm all about having more family timewith you--
Except the thought cut short as the Cupcake Egg more or less shouted "Whee!" and started moving. Rolling and picking up speed and shouldn't someone do something about that before somehing bad happened? Eralgais's thoughts went from flatlined to an awkward hold please as he started after the egg, mind racing as he tried to figure out how to stop it. "Wait wait wait..."
Uta Trying to stop it without doing damage. Yeep!

Purple & Grey Space Egg
There is no response for a moment before a polite, gentle touch is returned. Hello, Heleste. This egg is glad that she seems to be enjoying her time meeting its siblings. Is she-- The egg cuts off suddenly, as though inhabitant inside is quickly turning to see what on Pern is happening elsewhere on the sands.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Egg
Hm. The egg would narrow its eyes if it could. If Kahbrohm's attitude has impressed or offended the egg, it's hard to say. At least he wasn't stupid enough to think he was superior, because he certainly wasn't! Still, it's seen quite enough, thank you, so--
WHACK!
Shock jolts through the egg at the unexpected smack from its sibling, quickly giving way to utter outrage. How dare it be interrupted in such a manner! Its sibling could take its showboating somewhere else! The egg rocked ferociously in its wallow, bonking itself as hard as it could against the Sketchy Cupcake Egg in turn. Admittedly, as it was on its side in the sands, all it really managed to do was give its sibling a ineffective shove. It had everything all planned out and now it was ruined!
Jaleeri's concerned touch would receive a sharp jolt, almost as though the inhabitant inside had somehow managed to give her a n**. Don't think it didn't know what role you played in this!
Kahbrohm, Jaleeri, and any Candidates nearby would find themselves feeling affronted and angry.

Green Vine Egg
Such a sweet, thoughtful candidate Tyara was! The egg's effervescent bubbling mood gave way to mild surprise... and excitement... at the idea that Tyara hadn't met all its siblings already! And the idea of being reported back to, given someone's opinion on things... Ohhh yes! The egg gave a gentle nudge, an encouraging pat, to the girl. It really was paramount that she introduce herself to them all... and then come back, and tell Green Vine which she liked best, which she felt were special! That would be so very fun indeed!
Razanel's touch almost made the egg jump—and then the crash of one sibling into another, plus the boy's reaction, did make it leap, the egg shifting slightly in its wallow under his hand. Goodness gracious, what ever had that been?? The egg gave the young man a quick once-over, a mild flutter of nervousness drifting off it at all the drama... and then a soft comfort. There there... let's be here for each other until things settle, hmm? He seemed... a little rough around the edges, perhaps, but in a sturdy way. A good way.

Tyara-She/Her
Tyara felt the surprise from the baby that she had not met all their siblings, but they seemed excited by the idea. She gave a little bit more of a smile, feeling the soft nudge and a pat of encouragement. It seemed the little one wanted her to introduce herself to more of their siblings, then report back to them on what she found.
If I don't have time during the touching, I will try and tell you after you hatch..somehow,the girl responded, giving the egg a gentle pat. She took her hand off, wondering how exactly she would tell the baby dragon. Her eyes scanned the area, before heading for gold sunbeam egg. She was just placing her hand on its shell, when she heard the collusion. Oh dear, that couldn't be good, could it? She hoped no one was hurt, she didn't know eggs could go rolling that way. Her hands found some steadiness on the egg, thankfully.
Are..you okay in there?she thought to the baby. She didn't know if they could sense each other, so could the baby be worried about their siblings too?

ISHA (she/her)
Okay well, cool story egg. Isha gave an awkward pat of 'you do you' as she moved away from the egg, wondering what exactly it was she was supposed to have taken away from all that other than maybe, just maybe, that egg had depression. Hopefully when it Impressed they'd perk up with a rider, but Isha was not not a mindhealer and never even wanted to pretend to be one. Still, she wished the egg well enough and carried on, stopping in front of another.
Placing a hand on the Green Vine egg, she gave it a rub and way, way less thought now that she'd moved on. The first egg had gotten all the chatter, sorry everyone else. Hi.
