BOOM.
And thus was the noise of Blade's entrance.
Moments later he was by the group, yawning and rubbing at his eyes, "God, sorry I'm late. I was thinking about setting up my class-office thing, but then I was like, well what the hell? I got 'til tomorrow to get it done, right?.." He then decided to take notice of the crowd before him- specifically his two fellow teachers. He gave a wave, "'Lo." He had managed to drop in during Orpheus's question. "Oh, we're on the wyvern, right?" He spotted the egg and headed over, kneeling before the child, his eyes suddenly lighting up. "Antivenom..? I'm sure Hennet's got that one covered.."
He peered at the boss, brows arching, "Well, that all depends on the temperment of said dragon-" It was as if he'd taken a smart pill. "-and not just their species or age.." He grinned, "One time we had this really NASTY wyrmling, back when I was with my wife, it nearly took my hand off." He lifted said hand to reveal only a few of his scars with pride. "I've heard wyverns are especially nasty." He was suddenly excited at the idea of a challenge. "A black dragon AND a wyvern. This is gonna be a nasty batch, huh? I can't wait, my girls as calm as a kitten, I don't ever get any nasty ones. Where's the fun in that?" And then he was back on his feet, looking more like a child in a candystore than anything. "Hurry, let's keep going! What other dragons'd you guys decide on? I was only around for the first three." And without waiting, he was walking onwards.

Nero smiled back at Jekel, "It feels wierd... Like rough." Kind of like his shark friend's odd skin. He moved it slightly so the other could feel if he wanted, and that's when some man came walking up to him and talking all excited. He tilted his head uncertainly, his extra legs drawing his egg close in an almost protective manner.
Axel sighed softly and rubbed at his temples. He didn't wear stress well- it wasn't one of his usual emotions. He wasn't used to it.

Hennet gave a nod toward Blade, and then another to Axel, speaking to the other parent now. "I carry a variety of anti-venoms, due to the nature of the experiments here, even one for cases such as Nero, should an accident ever occure."
He meant it to reassure.

Orpheus eyes got a little wide at the entrance that Blade made and he gave a bit of a laugh as he looked over at the Boss, "Not the one you want talking to the Press ever huh?" He joked. Blade was far to into his job sometimes and sounded almost eager to run across a rambuncious dragon.
Ligeia seemed get more excited by the entrance that Blade made, his wings flapping, "Yes!" He scree'd happily, he wanted to see more as well.

 He blinked at the small girl, almost suprised before smiling wide. Maybe it was the fact they were pretty odd looking themselves but... Most children, girls expecially, avoided him. Wouldn't touch him. "I bleleive yours is right after the next." he paused, giving a tiny bribe to keep her patient for the while "But you'll get to see your's is extra special." He turned to Nero, "If you want to come along you may, or you can stay here. If you want ot come, just have your father put the egg back into the incubatior" He froze as the loudest man of all came crashing through the area. He flinched a bit "Blade, the frost dragon is next...We're about ot go to it." he turned starting to walk off and let those who wanted to follow do so.

Blade seemed less than excited. "Frost dragon..?" He blew out a puff of air. "Well, nasty, but not very bright... And kind of small. I've worked with a few before.. My dad's main dragon was a frost dragon..." And then he was standing at the sight of the next egg, sighing and rocking back and forth on his heels, excited to see all the dragons. "I had to leave all my other dragons behind when I came here, I only have my girl now. She'll like some company." And then he went quiet, staring towards the egg in an almost longing fashion... But he controlled his itchy fingers. For now.

Yeesha was persuaded by the delight that her egg was special. She skipped along right beside the boss. He didn't have a tail to hold, so instead she grabbed onto his hand. Yes, Yeesha was a very touchy person. She liked having constant contact with something, it was comforting.
"Frotht?" The word came out much softer than it should. She wrinkled her nose slightly. "I don't like cold."
For a moment she looked back to urge Jekel and Nero to come on.
Hennet sighed slightly, deciding that his daughter wasn't doing any harm and drifted unconsciencly toward Orpheus, leaning over very slightly. "What, no coffee today?"
It was gental, familiar, friendly banter.

Nero held his egg closer and then turned to follow, eyeing the blue haired man curiously. He seemed very excited about dragons... The scorpion boy didn't quite know what a dragon was, excatly, but he knew that the egg he held was the egg of a dragon he was picked for. That made it special.
Axel seemed to be relaxing again, and trodded after them, beginning to hum idly to himself. Sure, dragons were cool and everything, but he had more interest in... Other things.

Ligeia followed after the man since he seemed to know where the other eggs were and he was quite curious about the last few as the first pair were neat! He gave Blade an odd look, it didn't sound very nice calling a dragon dumb. He liked the way the guy with the green eyes described the dragons better he decided, wings flapping.
Orpheus looked to where Ligeia was then to Hennet, "I am doing one better." He said showing him the bag he had tucked into his pocket that contained choclate covered coffee beans, "These things rock, wanna try some?" He asked, holding them out for Hennet to try.

 Next was a white egg, with various blue swirls that appeared to be like ice crystalls. It was burried in snow, in a almost coolie like fence. Insulated to keep the cold on the inside, and the heat on the outside. "This is a Frost dragon's egg. Unlike any other dragon egg it can only survive in immense cold climtes. The egg is insulated so well just for the snow that in a warmer climet it would boil. Frost dragons mantain an icey apperance, and can handle climates far too cold for any other dragon, due to their cold blooded nature. We're actually unsure why this is. You may hold it, but only for a breif amount of time. Otherwise it might warm." The man rubbed his hands together, frowning as he slipped his hands into the icey snow to fetch the egg. Quickly passing it to the boy that wouldn't be affected by such a temperature.

Blade closed his eyes, nodding at the other's explanation, "Yeah... They're really a sight to see..." He made a few hand gestures, as if he were remembering something. "Their bodies are very elegant, and are almost like... Like... Frosted glass. Their scales have a glass-like pattern, and their wings look like ice..." He opened his eyes, "Beautiful little creatures." He looked towards the others calmly now, "They can breathe really cold air- it looks almost like they're breathing ice because of how fast that air freezes... Maginificent." Dragons were his life, of course he'd go further into detail... And that was the reason she left.
He grimaced suddenly and moved away a bit, turning so the children couldn't see. And then he did what he always did when the pain came back- he took out the little bottle tucked in his jacket and took a swig.

Ligeia looked up at the boss then stepped forward quickly over to the egg so that he could get a closer look at it then gave a smile reaching his gloved hand out to touch it. His glove would keep to much heat from transferring to the egg, "Wow!" He murmured, "Pr-Eeeeeetty." He said his wings flapping rapidly. He didn't seem bothered at all by the cold that surrounded the egg.
He turned to look at his father, wings flapping, "Looki-Eeee! Egg!" He said then turned back to it, "Pr-Eeeeetty Egg." His egg would need a name now wouldn't it? Then again how could he name his egg yet? He didn't know if it was a she-egg or a he-egg. He would have to name it a girly name and it turn out a boy or vise versa. He would have off on that.
He gave the egg a gentle pat, "I bet Eggy is smart." He told it, it would be the smartestest Frost Dragon ever!
Orpheus look over at him, "How about after it hatches? Will it be able to acclimate ot the climate?" He asked as his son fawned over the Frosty Egg.

Nero looked at the pretty egg in fascination and then shuffled to the odd male's side. He peered up at the one with the glowing eyes timidly, "U-umn... D-do you want m-me to p-put my d-dragon back? I-I'm sorry, I-I forgot to s-say before... I-it won't d-die now, w-will it?" He frowned in a worried fashion.
Axel watched them all with the vaguest curiousity.. He scritched at the side of his nose and coughed.

 He ignored blade for the most part, smiling at Yeesha softly. "Yes it should be able to aclimate fairly well, just keep some cool water around or another mean for it to cool off quickly if it starts to feel too hot." He paused to peer at the young boy, smiling a bit and shaking his head. "Nono... I'm sure it'll be just fine." he paused a moment, pulling a blanket out of nowhere... because I'm too lazy to go about him getting one from someone. He knelt next to the boy, carefully wrapping the blanket around it, with a little peice poking out. "There... That should keep it warm enough for a little while. Then it'll have to go back."

Yeesha looked at the egg for just a little bit - it was beautiful. But now it was her turn! She grabbed the boss's hand and tried to pull him along, excited to see her extra special egg! "My turn, my turn!"
Hennet frowned and called out softly to her from across the room. "Now, Yeesha... be polite and wait your turn. And don't pull his hand like that."
He gave Orpheus a side-long look at the mention of chocolate coated coffee beans as if to say 'You're going to die of caffine someday.'
