Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dianno stood from his seat among the healers, taking a few awkward steps backwards before he bumped into a table and the green hatchling caught up to him. "Oooph!" Her head thumped against his injured chest and only the presence of the healer hissing 'hold still!' kept him from striking the green. Shaff what they'd said! His chest hurt and here another came along just to stick it's nose in his wounds!

He was starting to hate dragons, greens in particular.

"Cai, Journeyman Healer." Oh Faranth. Cai rolled his eyes and gave an exasperated sigh. "Shaff if I know! I can't imagine that Vidith or Meeli would put the hatchlings in danger on purpose?! Shaff! Burying eggs in the sand... that's tunnelsnake bait right there if I ever heard of any. Green flits bury their eggs. That's why they almost always get eaten. Now I doubt a tunnelsnake could burrow into the Hatching Sands without being noticed by something but still, there are so many things that could happen to an egg. Shards and Shells what if one of you stepped on it just right and crushed it?! Or who knows if there's a hatchling under the sand right now, drowning because the sands are so wet and heavy it can't claw it's way out? Why they let that shaffing queen bury them I will never understand but don't you believe for a moment I won't be speaking to someone about THAT as well!"

As for Becka's concerns he thought a moment. "There have to be options." He looked down and met Genith's eyes once again, fighting not to get lost in them. "Weyrling training is temporary. I'm not saying we skip it entirely. I'm not going to 'wing it' with Genith's health. But they can't force us to do something we don't want to do. As for our dragons..." He'd seen the same things as she. Dragons wanted to fight thread. At least, it had seemed that way when those who couldn't had to be held back by the will of others. "I will come up with something. There has to be a solution." Cai wasn't about to give up just because of an instinctual road block. He just needed a clear head and time to think things through.

Balchas wasn't even looking at the green anymore, not until it came back over to the boys and began bumping legs, did this one want to bruise everyone's shins?

He backed up as she came towards him but she bumped him too, he looked over at the boy next to him to see what he would do when the dragon bumped him too but...

Suddenly the rain and the sand and even the soreness of his arm vanished, he was filled with a warmth that spread from the inside out. Mine! Balchas looked down at rainbow eyes, but what about Bacha... but for the moment he couldn't think about his sister, all that was in his mind were Casinth's words. You are cold! Cold and wet! I am sorry, I made you wait. Your Casinth is sorry Balchas sighed but this time it was happy "Never be sorry Casinth, never!" He chuckled as she moved behind him and gently pushed onwards, he went with it, not fighting her urging. Let's go now! I am hungry and you are cold. I will eat and you will warm up "Yes, you need food and we need to be out of this rain" he said, striding out towards the feeding tables, Casinth easily keeping pace, moving to his side now instead of pushing from behind. Balchas did spare one glance backwards and gave a guilty but incredibly happy grin to his sister who was surely watching.

Once at the feeding tables Casinth stopped, glaring at a certain tiny blue, she drew herself up as tall as she was she was bigger, much bigger than Genith. I don't like you, you're a nasty little blue she told him, causing Balchas to snap his head round and stare at the Green, who was glaring at the blue, He'd forgotten about his arm but it appeared Casinth wasn't about to let the bite go unnoticed. "Casinth?!" he queried, then noticed the little blue who'd bitten him. He shrugged it off, it most probably hadn't been personal, he'd only been thinking of protecting his sister after all. B'as, he bit you and he shouldn't have, i don't like him! she informed her rider, before turning a cold shoulder on the tiny blue and plopping herself down, pointedly turning her back on Genith and being promptly fed. She took care to chew her chunks though she did demand some of the largest from Balchas, no .... B'as now, she was a big girl after all.

The last egg on the sands began to rock, and with it, Hyweth seemed to become alert, raising her head. A forked, green tongue escaped her mouth as she hissed, glancing in the Impressees' direction. Criticize her, would they?

Jemi focused on the last egg, watching the shell rock and shift and this could likely was her last chance to impress and join her watch partner. Not that she wouldn't. Wen was her watch partner, impression didn't change that and if she didn't Impress, well T'rel better get use to her being about.

B'as didn't exactly blush but he was slightly embarassed by Casith's bluntness, that would take getting used to, looking up from where he said feeding Casith he addressed the young man "She told him she didn't like him and he was a nasty little blue for biting me" he told the bristling blue's rider. "Got it looked at, bit sore but it's fine" he added, showing that he didn't hold the blue any ill will, after all the blue hadn't Impressed then.

Casith ignored Genith's comment, concentrating on her food, or was she giving the blue the silent treatment? Either way she wasn't about to give Genith the satsifaction of responding to his insult, she'd called him nasty, that was the truth at least it had been at the time .... probably.

Bacha

She smiled as the green came through. Bravely she patted the green nose that had pushed against her. Though no voice filled her mind, and then the green was gone. Clearly not for her. She shrugged and smiled at Balchas when she saw he'd stepped outta line. That same green went to the healers then back into the candidates. Seemed she was looking around didn't it?

Then she started bumping into the boy's knees. Bacha held her breath. Who would she pick? Now it was her turn to step out of line as the green approached her brother. When she stopped by Balchas, she unconsciously raised her fisted hands. Was it him? Was it him?!

When Balchas left the line and the green followed him she wanted whoop! Bacha instead settled for a happy jig on the sands. Her brother had Impressed! She wanted to go meet his dragon now. The girl glanced back at the eggs. There was only one left. Maybe she could wait that long at least. It was rocking now so it wouldn't be long.

Cai's lips pinched together as he struggled internally with this. Finally he took a deep breath and huffed. "Fine." He said shortly. "Do try to keep her from antagonizing Genith if you would." he added in a clipped tone. Who did she think she was, disliking his dragon for something he did before she was even hatched. Stupid green.

Genith huffed at the same time as His, turning when he heard Hyweth hissing in their direction as well. He hissed right back, bristling once again and tucking himself closer to Cai's side. Women! Genith gave an exasperated sigh and sunk into Cai's side, weaseling his way into his rider's warm lap.

Cai blinked... unsure whether to be offended or to laugh at that comment. It did have the effect of distracting him from his anger though as he tried to return to the topic at hand. "Dragonhealing is a possibility. I won't write it off yet. I'd rather not switch specializations personally, but it's an idea."
