Welcome to Gaia! ::

With the chaos apparently over for now the Crystallized green gave a little sigh and started to trot towards the female candidates. Humming softly she passed through the front rank and started to nose gentle at the girls she passed by.

Suspicious meanwhile had come to a halt just a little way short of the candidates. Just on the point where the boys and girls split he sat down on the sand and started to sweep the collection of youngsters with white eyes that occasionally flickered orange, it seemed he trusted them no more than he had done at the Touching!

A little way behind Suspicious the Bloodstained Egg started to shift and rock, and after a few moments a pale foot punched out through the gory surface before vanishing once more. After a few moments of stillness the foot kicked out again, widening the hole, and then the whole egg broke apart to reveal a handsome little blue. For a few moments he lay in the remains of his shell, shaking his head and getting his bearings, but soon enough his gaze locked on the candidates and his eyes turned from light blue to a worried yellow.

Well, well, hatchings were more exciting than he had first thought. He grinned, watching the three girls herd the brown about. What was that? The Brown had stopped, still and staring at something. Ehh, okay, bored now

Lesex shrugged, looking out at the sands, taking in the new life. A new green had broken out of her egg and that large shinny one was hatching. And what was that noise? A snort escaped him as his eyes fell on the green, the small green and was trying to steal someone’s clothing. Well, wasn’t she just a playful thing.

Another brown, though this one didn’t seem nearly as aggressive as the other. Chittering a bit, warning? Talkative? Time would see. More hatchlings and was their supposed to be so many out and tumbling about and getting into fights? Ehh.

Hey, crank was on the move and that hadn’t ended up in blood like the first time. Instead, the brown was submitting? Curled all about someone in the crowd and not moving. Whatever it was, it seemed to be announce the fight again was on between the greens. That and the fourth? Fifth? Well, one of the greens was rather insistent on getting a pair of pants.

The greens were more interesting, fighting and cracking eggs? Was that dangerous? A green and then something dark and tiny. And well.. that seemed to be the end of the fight. He tipped his head, watching the pair stalk off. They had stopped at least.

And that green had managed to slice up that one’s pants. Pffhs, well that was a form of entertainment. Poor sharding dim glow. What was she going to do with them when she got them off him? Wear them as a hat? A scarf? It was sort of cute and well, someone was clearly a part of the moral police. Lesex coughed into his fist, bitting down a knuckle to keep from laughing.

And with not but a withering stare and a gentle hum the two fighting greens broke their confrontation and impressed? That seemed almost too easy after their quarrel, which surely had only just begun. At least all the overtly violent hatchlings had impressed now and things seemed to improve; an atypical-- a small black, found his bondmate as well (and in the stands no less), things were really starting to catch up now! He had to admit that the Invasive Green’s behavior brought a stifled chuckle from Ceirys, it was a dragonet pantsing a candidate after all-- how could that not be amusing? Well, the little blue seemed to think not, and the two impressed without much more fuss. Then that beautiful lythe gold meandered through the boys and seemed to impress hers without so much as a glance in the young lady’s direction-would these two prove to be fascinated with boys? Then a new blue made short work of his shell, what would this new hatchling’s character be like, and why was he concerned? Ceirrys remained hopeful; yes more than half the clutch had hatched already, but there were still eggs on the sands.

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

Carwyn couldn't help but giggle at the little green's behavior, a lymerick would need to be written about this... Almost halfway through now, would this be the clutch in which Ceirrys found His and could now the joy that it was to be bonded to a dragon? Alaiath sent a feeling of warmth towards Carwyn, It is a joy indeed to have this bond.

The manhandling of Fadrin as they dragged him off to the healers did little to rouse the injured youth but as Malta began to tend to him, the pain of wound cleansing and bandage application to his chest brought him back to the world. He groaned, afraid to move because of the pain, blinking through a haze of blood.

They would need to remove the remains of his eye and give him a patch... there was nothing they could do about the scars he would bear across his left cheek.

Conroith eagerly accepted the food as it was offered to her, greedily gulping down the meat in great mouthfuls. I know Mine will be fine. I am here and he is here. There is much to do! But I am hungry too.... I want more~

((If anybody wants to interact with Conroith or, uh, idk stare at Fadrin's grossness, feel free xD; ))

Mazaah (Concept Entry)

Maz stood back, watching the new hatchlings thoughtfully. Greens, blues... color didn't matter, just that they were so... not bloody.

She turned to look at her fellow candidates – looking at their faces. Dissappointment on some (especially the girls, but who could blame them? Everybody wanted a gold), despair on others, and...

“Hey, are you all right?” she said to Laenara. If Maz wasn't mistaken, the girl looked... sad.

It wasn't long before the Crystallized green had made her way through all of the female candidate. Looking slightly puzzled she turned and padded back through the ranks but once again she exited the other side of the crowd alone. With a thoughtful hum she scanned the Stands, but that couldn't be right could it? Humm. After a couple of moments she moved back through the female candidates and onward towards the Stands but rather than clambering up she merely walked along in front of them, her eyes sweeping the crowds in search of that perfect mind; it was here, she was sure it was here, she just had to find it.

The Bloodstained Blue meanwhile had got to this feet and was regarding the candidates before him with that same yellowed gaze. He made to move forward but checked himself before he had taken so much as a step. Shifting his weight he turned his head to look over and up at his mother and gave an uncertain creel; it was clear that something about the candidates was making him nervous, but quite what it was was decidedly less so.

The Laughing Egg meanwhile, toppled long ago, finally broke open. Its occupant was another green, slight and delicate and absolutely beautiful. The hatchling took a moment to clean pieces of eggshell off herself before climbing to her feet and letting out a high sweet call. For anyone who was keeping score it happened to be a perfect D.

"Well you look rough," Vee said conversationally as she and Baeveth approached Fadrin and Conroith. "What's your name again? I'm Vee, this is Baeveth."

Baeveth plopped down in the sand and allowed the healers to fuss over her. she said to her sister with a nod, idiot had to go and leap on me before I'd even hatched properly and I didn't have much time to take stock with her shredding me. Tch. Are you alright? Langoneth got your shoulder quite nastily from what I did manage to see.>
