Welcome to Gaia! ::

becka blinked as she was distracted from feeding an ever increasingly sleepier Taikirth, the green didn't even bother much with talking right now, just leaned against her rider tiredly. She looked at the face of the girl that had been rude to her at the touching, it wasn't her fault that T'rel had made her agree to go to the touching, though if she'd have known she'd Impress, she might have not gone, but then Taikirth might have chosen someone else.

There IS No one else for me growled the green sleepily. Her stomach almost finally full as she rested her head in Becka's lap.

"Oh, i shouldn't really have been there so you were kind of right, it's fine i'm not mad or anything, no point" she said with a small smile, glancing at Taikirth as the green turned heavily lidded eyes on the girl that she'd shoved away mentally as an egg "I know the feeling sometimes, i've been told i'm too honest at times" she eyed the reddening white robes with minor alarm, most of the regular healers were busy with the casualties from the tiny blue's rampage. "I have a couple of things left over from patching Taikirth up so i can help, but once your dragon is fed and sated you should go to the Healers, if you've nicked a vein or anything you could be in trouble." she said before gently lifting Taikirth's head off her lap, the green promptly curled up, giving a shooting, dirty look at the injured girl before closing her eyes.

Becka looked at Naressa's injury and it didn't seem TOO bad, the blood flow was slowing already. "Just need to clean it, that sand is awful at getting into everything, then i can get a better look" she said, though it was more of a question, she didn't want to do anything the girl didn't want her to. "Once it's clean i can give you some numbweed if it hurts then bandage you up" She smiled.

Cai

Cai didn't pu Genith down until they reached the tables where the rest of the weyrlings congregated. He took a seat near Becka but still separate from the rest noting the attention the healer apprentice attracted. She had been allowed to Touch the eggs and as a result Impressed without having to go through the trouble of Candisacy. He wondered that theh didn't resent her? Well, they had Impressed as well. It was possible that the candidates left behind would resent her for stealing a hatchling. Possibly himself as well.

He also took notice if the bleeding weyrling even as he began to feed smsll scraps to Genith. The amount of blood was alarming considering how calm she appeared. To ave her robes soaked so she should be exhibiting more pain or distress. Especially that close to vital vessels. He waited to see Beckas reaction. She was still an apprentice after all. If she didn't do something proper than he would step in. Genith came first though.

(Posting at work. Didn't see revels post. Can't really edit now. Just consider this before XD)

Balchas looked at the green that nosed him out of the way, for a second he'd thought perhaps she might want him but he'd been pushed aside "the girls, go to the girls he urged mentally, wanting Bacha to Impress especially if he didn't.

She was actually shocked that the girl had agreed with her actions upon the sands. That was odd, she had half expected the girl to be at least mad at her. Guess that solved that. She gave Becka a warm smile. "My mom was a healer so I know a thing or two but it's at such an awkward angle I won't be able to take care of it myself." She said gratefully accepting any help she was willing to give. She was aware there were far greater injured people around and she just needed the wound flushed and some numbweed and she'd be good to go. "You can feel free to poke and prode as needed." She said eyeing the green as it gave her a dirty look.

Reciproth didn't seem to take to kindly to the greens glare because he watched her carefully after that. Who was she to judge HIS. He remained quite though and looked up at Becka with a hopeful glance. Would she take care of his? He was sure she would, she seemed honest enough not to try anything.

"I'm Naressa by the way. It didn't seem fair that I knew your name and you didn't know mine."

"No, it doesn't hurt much. It's just uncomfortable more than anything." She said reassuringly. Where had her mother healed? "She heals at "hold name here"." She said with a warm smile. It would be a small world if she knew her.

Reciproth nudged her gently now that she was bandaged pretty well and she looked over at Becka and laughed. "I best get him some food right quick, then perhaps we can converse some more." She said hoping the girl would be willing to talk some more.

Sometime during all the excitement, the Bright Egg had begun to twitch. The movement was hardly noticeable, especially through the rain. Its movement remained slight for a few minutes, then it suddenly flopped over atop what remained of the Pale Egg. The twitching became a steady rocking, until the egg suddenly cracked and seemed almost to shatter at once.

A blue tumbled out, finding his footing with a great deal of stumbling and slopping in the wet sand. He took a moment to survey his surroundings, blinking and tilting his head in a curious manner. All of a sudden, it seemed he realized something and his body straightened, head lifting to look towards the candidates. Scrambling, he made a beeline for the male candidates, his eyes bright red though there was no aggression in his stance. He was impatient! There was someone he needed. Where were they?!

Bacha

She saw her brother look up and catch her eyes. Nope, she wasn't embarrassed for staring avidly, hoping to catch his moment of Impression. Bacha giggled quietly and gave an encouraging wink to her brother. Her mouth formed an 'o' as another blue hatched and headed straight for the males.

Truthfully she was grateful. Almost all the dragons were picking girls this round it seemed. She watched, hoping the blue would stop by Balchas.

There were several hatchlings still roaming the sands and it seemed like one more had decided to join them. One of the few eggs that remained unhatched had finally decided the time had come. Mairin watched as a green egg with rather fanciful markings on it began to break. She got a quick glimpse of claws and feet but with the distance the rain she'd not been sure of the colour. Not blue or green, those stood out enough, but whether the dragonet was brown or bronze she wasn't quite sure.

It didn't take long for the answer to be revealed as moments later the hatchling emerged, head first this time, and was quickly out of his egg and moving towards the candidates. His hide was mostly the colour of dry sand with a darker and speckled topline. There was even a bit of rich brown masking his face and headknobs. The dragonet might not be showing off but he was rather pretty so far as Mairin was concerned.

So many in this clutch seemed to be catching her eye, be it in action or something a bit more shallow.

The young woman was trying not to focus to long on any one dragon but when the brown made it's way over to the girls Mairin watched it again carefully. He seemed pretty focused himself which was either a good thing or a bad one, depending on what exactly he wanted.

Then he was in front of her, plopping his hindquarters down on the sand and staring up into her eyes.

'No, MairinMine, my brother is not for you. Don't be sad, for I am your Vidarth, and, together there is nothing we can't do.'

The words seemed to echo in Mairin's head and for the first time in ages she was well and truly stunned. Where once there was just her now there was Them. For a second she just stared at Vidarth before sinking down onto her knees and wrapping her arms around the dragon. Well sort of anyways, Vidarth might not be the biggest brown hatchling ever but he was still rather large.

Vidarth was not quite sure what His was doing but that was okay. She seemed to need a moment, to make sure he was real, to apologize for something and for the many things swirling in her mind to settle. He could wait though, the brown hungered but Mairin was more important. She could squeeze him for now and when she was ready Vidarth would be right there beside her, because he would always be there now.

It took a couple of minutes but the pair eventually stood and made their way towards the feeding tables. There was a quiet sort of energy buzzing between them as they went to join their fellow weyrlings.
