Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kiriwar leaned forward a little as he tried to peer at the next egg, surprised to find that it was actually rather... shy. He blinked slowly, before smiling crookedly as the little green was finally revealed with the help of her mother. She was quite darling... He hoped she would not be too upset. He shuffled his feet a little, watching to see what would happen next.

---

As this was happening, Bevan was bored, sighing quietly and looking aside. Another green... he was sure that he would not get this little green. He just waited for the next to come, now...

A green... His attention perked immediately as he realized the little creature was timid, perhaps not wanting to poke itself out right away. "You can do it." He'd mutter under his breath, blinking as the Queen dragon had to help the tiny thing out into the world. He hadn't even noticed the egg had cracked--weren't dragonets usually scrambling out to find their partners?

The poor thing looked flustered, and he also sensed Kiriwar's mutual concern for her. He'd lean against the man briefly, clucking under his tongue in an unconscious attempt to soothe the dragonet--worked with herdbeasts, after all. "Go find your bonded, lassie, we're going nowhere fast." The brunette would murmur under his breath.

Jessmet watched as another brown shoved through the group of boys. She entertained brief hopes as a newly-hatched blue dragonet seemed interested in the girls, but clearly he was not for her.

In all the clamor, she hadn't noticed the little green egg trying in vain to hatch until the Queen stepped in to help. Jessmet smiled in sympathy-- she'd felt hardened shells before.

Sonya, had found herself a little later than most when it came to the hatching. She never expected it to be the case, but then she never seemed to notice exactly how many candidates would be rushing for their robes and maybe for the best spot on the sands. The young candidate found herself at the back of the crowd of girls, a little excited as well as being a little dissapointed at the same time. It was obvious a few of the dragonets had already hatched. At least though, the silver lining happened to be that there were more to come, more to hatch.

Bringing herself up onto tip toe Sonya managed to steal a look at the young green as it fell out of its egg onto the sands. She couldn't help but smile seeing the poor thing so worried and shy. Dragons were just as deep as humans, maybe even more so. The smile though was not one out of meaness, just simply relief.

Talar watched with curiosity as the Queen helped out the next Dragonet began to hatch, and she idly wondered who would Impress such a scared and worried little thing, conveniently forgetting her own worry and nerves. The redhead scanned the crowd of Candidates, and finally spotted Kiriwar, one of the only faces familiar to herself. Next to him stood a young boy that she had not met yet. They shared similar features... Perhaps this was Bevan, the brother Kiriwar had told her of once. Soon enough though, her attention was back on the Green, wondering if she would even be brave enough to cross the Sands to get to to the one she was to Impress upon.

Nope, the little green was still not liking all this attention. It was just getting her more and more flustered, so that she found herself huddling behind her mother, fear overriding biological imperative. The Queen gently prodded her daughter out, pushing her back onto the center of the hot sands, so that the little green blinked once or twice, taking a hesitant step, first towards the boys, and then changing so that she was examining the girls. She took one more step towards them, still trembling and mewling.

She spotted hers amidst the crowd of girls, but she was too shy and too scared to go that long distance. Not with everyone watching her like that! She clearly wasn't one for attention, this little girl.

Quinnel, come save Winath! There are people watching me and there are so many and I don't like it and please come now and take me to food. It came out in one breathless rush, an exhalation of words that was both frenzied and tinged with the happiness of Impression. Well... Maybe not all the dragons in the clutch would be so bold and forward, as it was. Poor, shy little Winath certainly wasn't.
Ryu makes huuugeee imges. xD

Kytara's breath caught in her throat. The Queen had spilled the most beautiful little green out onto the Sands, with very little dignity. She looked scared and confused. A lot like how the girl herself felt. She exhaled as she realized she was beginning to get light-headed. She worried for the small dragonet. What happened if it didn't Impress? Her uncle had once told her that they would go between to die in that case. She squeezed her eyes shut and muttered a soft prayer to any god that may be. Please don't let that be!

Everything was happening so fast now. Entertained as she was by the little blue, Merya almost missed the brown with his bold patterns - and then the dear little green, trying to hide. "Awww, the poor little mite," she said softly, more for L'thor than for Saren (who would probably just make some inane remark rather than saying anything useful). Thankfully the tailor was too busy watching the brown to notice. "It's probably frightening, having so many people staring at you."

"Squeep?"

Merya rolled her eyes. "Yes, I know you don't understand the concept of not liking attention." She scratched the firelizard fondly, earning several little "squee!"s of happiness.
