Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Nicky still needs to post something. XP Is it just Tare, Kori, and Paige remaining to get eggs?))

Tare's choice to move further into the dunes and the grass certainly got rid of most of the distracting shells and stones that washed up on the beach. But the grass wasn't exactly simple to search through either as it could easily bury the small rock-like eggs. And there were a few insects flickering around. Perhaps if the Japanese Kyn looked further into these, he'd be rewarded.

Tare swept down lower, using his claws to part the grass in places where it was tangled and covering, and then a swarm of insects caught his eye. The dragonflies on butterkyn eggs didn't move... but were they seen as prey to smaller insects who took advantage of their immobility? He swept toward the small swarm and waved it away, peering into the grass where they had been swirling and diving, looking for the shine of a stone, the glimmer of a gossamer wing.

the sudden question had caught her off guard. Milk? Why would she have any milk on her hands. At the moment there wasn't any hatchings in her flight so she didn't have to worry about it. And besides her hat and sword (strapped to her back) she hadn't thought to bring food.

She looked at the expectant hatchling. It really wasn't good to let a hatching not hae food for any amount of time. She then had an idea. Where there was an island there would be palm trees, and where there were palm trees where...coconuts!

"I don't have any milk on me, but I know where to get some! just stay there and I'll be back in a minute" She made a dash through the pathway they came from, hoping to get back to the beach and find a pam tree with coocnuts on it

It was all Kori could do to keep a grip on the struggling Harley. With the slight panic that came from nearly crashing head-first into the dune, the little butterkyn managed to wriggle out of her foster mother's grasp, trying to zip behind her.

Snarling audibly, Kori whipped around and bore down immediately on the hatchling, snatching her back up immediately. Or trying to. The butterkyn was flitting quickly over to the half-buried egg, but found herself snatched out of mid-air by a taloned forepaw.

"Harley! What do yo--... You found one."

Trilling softly, Harley obediently returned to Kori's talons. She seemed to know what was going on. Sorta. Carefully, Kori reached down with her free forepaw and gently finished unearthing the egg.

Tare grinned and slowly reached down with his claws, scooping the egg and dragonfly carefully out of the sand and cradling them carefully in his claws. He very, very carefully held the small egg in his right front claw and held it up to examine it, then swept into the sky, higher up, looking down for Paige. Upon spotting her (and Kori, who was not far off by the look of it), he spiraled down and then swung low along the beach, floating up slowly beside Paige. "Found one. Any luck yet?"

Kori coiled slowly over to them, looking down at her forepaws in disbelief. "Yeah... Harley helped me find it." The little hatchling curled in one paw chirruped, hearing her name, and scratched lightly at her fostering mother's scales. The talons spread, making a small gap, through which she peeked her head and gave Tare a chirp of greeting.

((
DW, please be respectful when you RP. It's really rude to get upset that you've fallen behind because you haven't been posting, and chatspeak has never been something that we respect in Kyn RPs.))

Paige noted that both Kori and Tare had much better luck higher up the beach in the dune grass, where they weren't distracted by the multitude of shells and other things scattered by the surf. She opted to head farther up the beach as well, though by this time had walked a fair ways away from the two Kyn. It was difficult to search, especially considering her size and relative closeness to the beach, but she knew that with everyone else finding eggs it would only be a matter of time before she herself stumbled upon one.
