Aderyn's eyes widened as the egg started yelling at her. She stood there for a few moments after she took her hand off and just stared. What a strong personality who apparently didn't like Aderyn at all. It made her sad a little bit but she would keep going. Wondering if the "giant" the egg had said was the big brown egg next to it, she went to touch Hulk is Strongest Egg with tentative fingers.

How about that for a cold shower?! Cai declined the invitation to stay with a curt thought and a glare at the hard shell. So far this clutch hadn't been terrible at all. Especially considering Cai's doubts about it's parentage. One egg couldn't spoil the overall impression (especially after th last one) but Debonair had certainly tweaked a nerve.
Cai left it's side and walked back towards the first egg they'd touched. Fight as One had been good and there was a rather large egg leaning against it. Cai stroked the speckled shell of the Hulk is Strongest.

After touching all of the eggs, Qyprenna had found herself surprisingly exhausted. The whole ordeal was...well; it was something else. She hadn't known what to expect going into it, but if someone to ask her how she felt it went, she'd be unsure how to answer, frankly. The first two eggs seemed to go without incident, and they didn't seem to much care for her. The same went for the last egg that she touched.
Two eggs were fairly pleasant in experience, and that was nice, too. The young woman recalled the Hulk egg, and couldn't help but smile. It was a sweetie, even if their encounter was extremely brief. Even To Me, My Dragons, was helpful and thoughtful. It was even kind enough to give her a suggestion.
The touching of Fight as One was by far the strangest out of the bunch. She couldn't get the ordeal out of her head, in fact. Despite also being a stickler for the rules, she also had half a mind to go over there, place her hand on it again, and ask it what the heck was up, but she refrained from that. Instead, she allowed herself to walk back to her spot in formation where she stood before the start of the touching. She then stood here, properly at attention, and waited until the rest of the candidates had gone through with their touchings as well.

Venk had been playfully betting with Hiraeth about which candidate would make it around first and was a little pleased when one of his own guesses was correct. "Qyprenna," he stepped off the sands with the young woman and addressed her softly with a small smile. "Efficient as ever, well done! How did you find your first Touching? Shards, I can still remember mine as though it were yesterday. You never forget your first Touching."

When the candidatemaster spoke to her, the first thing that Qyp did was give a bow of her head in respect to Venk. She then met his smile with an expression of unsureness, allowing herself to pause before answering to look back at the clutch of eggs on the sands. "..." Well, he asked; it was better to be honest. "Three were ehhh, two were ok, and then Fight as One hit me like a gigantic wave. It also blinded me, too -- I don't know what it's problem is, sir. I wish I could go ask it."

"Ah," Venk nodded, he smiled still but the expression went softer around the edges and his eyes creased a little more along kind crowsfeet, kind and long worn. "Eggs can be a little overwhelming, for good or ill. Sometimes they take a lot from you but give little of themselves, sometimes the other way around, and sometimes they do both... if you follow me, either take and offer or give you little and offer you little. I suppose your Fight as One is keen to hatch, full of its own passions that it lets spill onto those around it. I remember one of the first eggs I ever touched left me feeling as though my hands were frozen for a full day," the candidatemaster laughed and shook his head, "that one really hated me, but that's a whole different story for another time. For today I'd advise you not to worry yourself about it, but do think on it if it pleases you. What did you do before you touched it, what were you thinking when it blinded you, anything else that might be relevant." Venk shrugged, still smiling. "Eggs are a puzzle I'm afraid even to a gold rider, I wish I had better answers for you than that."

"A whole day? Wow!"
The young woman listened to Venk intently, unable to keep a smile from pulling up the corners of her lips when he told his stories. Qyprenna loved stories, especially who were from the older generations, as she felt they had lots of wisdom and experience to share with the younger individuals like her. When he went on to describe why Fight as One probably did what it did, however, it made sense. The egg did seem to be in a hurry, and it was probably eager to do it's own thing. She couldn't really fault it for that. Qyp went on to mirror Venk's shrug with one of her own, at the mention of eggs being puzzles.
"It's ok, sir. Some things, we'll just never fully know. I just need to remember that."

"True," Venk nodded, "but there's still nothing wrong with asking the unanswerable questions, sometimes it turns out there's a real answer after all." He grinned then and made a light gesture upwards with his open palms. "I believe people call that 'progress'. We'd not have eyeglasses without it, or mechanical clocks, so while I think you should remember that some things are unlikely to be answered I don't think you should stop asking or seeking in any aspect of life. Perhaps you'll think of something nobody else ever did and change the world for the better."

Jemi grinned slightly at Venk's speech. That had been an exciting day. Not anyone's brightest moment there and the hatching had been on the less bloody side then some. She walked out, giving a polite bow to Evmeth, Jemi had no problem with the golden queen. Mistakes had been made, it happened. Perhaps a bit more then it should have...
She walked out into the clutch, a good size clutch at that and looked over the eggs and finally settled on touching the Lighting Fast egg. Such a brightly colored egg.

Aderyn, Cai, it’s fine! Hulk is Strongest loves you! Both of you! Tentatively and carefully sure, because they don’t want to hurt anyone, but the waves of love and acceptance coming off of this egg are impossible to deny. You are perfect just as you are, and you are loved, and you should know that. It’s important.
Touching Hulk is Strongest is like sinking into a warm bath, or cupping a mug of hot klah between your hands - except for the soul. There is nothing but love here.Lightning Fast sure is brightly coloured, yep yep yep, and Lightning Fast has a few giggles to share with Jemi, pulling every time she did something stupid but fun out of her. Lightning Fast will have that experience, and that one, and that one… it all comes out in a rush, because apparently this egg doesn’t have time to be gentle, though there is a quick peck on the cheek as thanks.

Jemi laughed, quiet and bright as she pulled away, faintly wondering if she should have teased back that she was taken at the lingering feeling of a dragon kiss. The egg had been fast, like the spinning colors of its egg, taking what it wanted but in a way that wasn't harmful. In a way it had been fun.
She rubbed her cheek, thinking and moved onwards, laying a hand on Debonair Charmer Egg nestled right next to Lighting Fast and wondered what this soft pink one had in store for her.

Aderyn smiled at the wave of love that came from the Hulk is strongest egg. She left it much happier than she had when she arrived. Heading over to her last egg, Aderyn placed her hands hopefully on the No Such Thing as Santa egg.

Surrounded by the warmth and love of Hulk, Cai found himself looking for his partners Wen and Jemi. They were always easy for the redhead to find and as the reassuring mental caress soothed him, he left it's side, making his way between the eggs towards Jemi. Cai passed beside her with a quiet smile and a subtle and brief touch of hands before he touched the egg she'd just left, the last of his circuit.
Lighting Fast hadn't been chosen last on purpose, but just how the pattern Cai had followed worked out.

Shaddaling Jemi - Debonair Charmer Egg
The egg breaks off contact then with a parting grin and a mental shove, time's a wasting!Nilah44 Aderyn - No such thing as Santa
The egg investigates Aderyn in silence for some moments, coiling its way smoothly through her mind all cool and slick. Well well, there are some tangles in here now aren't there? Anger, now anger can be used if you're careful with it but you have to channel it... is she capable of that? Does she hold within her the steel and the fire and the greatness it requires or will she continue to allow others to bend her to their will?
Something for her to think on, hummm?
With that the egg withdraws with the sensation of watching eyes but after a few moments that too fades out, and the shell under Aderyn's hand might as well be a rock.
