Welcome to Gaia! ::

The big man would give his head a quick shake as three more dragons spilled onto the sands, the lazy blue and seemingly indecisive brown obviously not in too much of a rush to make up their minds. The other, a dusty grey of a brown, quickly made his decision; it was clear he didn't share his brothers' taste for idling. He took a slow breath, shaking his head at the two remaining dragons as though he couldn't quite grasp why they were dawdling. Well, they'd pick who they'd like. He found himself still staring after Inaari, lips twitching a little--almost like he was fighting back a smile.

But that was ridiculous. He wasn't smiling.

"She's going to be a handful." J'riar agreed with a wince, though had to chuckle at the sight of Asceth comforting his little love. "Such a good lad, looking after everyone. Like dragon, like rider, eh?" He grinned at N'tos, then also fixed his gaze on Rin. "Well, that little gold wouldn't have picked her if she couldn't handle her... right?" Shards, he hoped so.

Ianquith just sighed quietly, clearly unhappy, but not going to say anything more. She would be strong, for herself and Hers. And she would not worry Asceth! Not unless something very bad happened... but oh, there were more cracking from her eggs, and the green let out a softer version of her encouraging croon.

Terisa was relieved that more of the eggs were showing signs of life. Watching as the blue and two browns hatched in close succession, the girl smiled for the male candidates who had the best chance at impressing the three male hatchlings. It was a bit disappointing that there had been so few female hatchlings, or at least it seemed like it. It was a bit amusing, however, that the blue didn't seem all that excited on deciding who to impress to. Shifting her weight back to her right foot, Terisa waited to see how the impressions went and wondered what was still left from the clutch.

Santhea smiled widely, and also tensely, as the two browns emerged from the broken shells. The lighter of the two impressed quickly - a good sign- but the small, calm blue was idling, as was the rich, dark brown.
I'm glad he impressed.. Good luck to you both, rider and dragon! she sent her wishes with her thoughts.

"I wonder who the little blue is waiting for.." she murmured under her breath. Surely he is hungry, but he prefers to wait to be certain of his lifemate..Oh! she smiled wistfully in longing, almost a twisting in her stomach. She glanced again at the stands, again thinking of the blue she had met at the lake. Had H'dra's Dievath been like this? Probably not, Santhea thought all dragons were unique.

The little blue was lovely though, and so was the striking dark brown dragonet. Such beautiful creatures! She wondered what the small animals would be like as dragons - provided they impressed. Santhea shuddered at that thought - I'm not only selfish for myself, but the Weyr too, when I wish that not to happen..

Jamusyn had finally started to relax when a green, then a blue and two brown hatches. The green seemed to be a calm little creature and one of the blues Impressed so fast that he barely had time to blink. Rubbing his hands on his pants legs, the Holder let out a long breath.

"It's a good thing this Hatching has started to calm down some. I was beginning to think that all Hatchings were violent and harsh. I do not envy those down there one bit!"

His cousin merely nodded and gave a grunt of agreement.

Well, enough of that. The American Sport Horse gave an amused snort, giving the Quarter Horse blue one last glance before he too head for the boys. The blue had flopped himself down by this point, yawning for a third time as he stretched himself out in the warm sands. He had a great view from here! He wasn't concerned about anything at all, that much was clear.

His brown brother, however, slowly made his way to the boys. He didn't waste time once he got there, however, and in his brother's fashion, he raised himself on his hind legs and began to stare Goran in the eyes. And stare. And stare. And stare some more. Long enough, in fact, the crowd began to rumble when the boy said nothing. What was that dragon doing?

G'ranmine. Your Ormeteth thinks we should follow, do you not?

The blue still watched. Oh. Wait. What was over there?

Tideal cast a glance at Rumir but turned back to the eggs, whose number of hatchlings had now tripled. One pale, quaint looking brown was exceedingly straightforward and made his way straight to the one who would doubtlessly be his lifemate. That particular dragonet was charmingly sure of himself, definite in movement and action unlike his dawdling siblings. As the brown impressed Tideal had another moment of gut wrenching jealousy before he cast it aside and turned to see what the other brown and the indecisive green would do next. Find theirs, of course, but this was a hatching and similar to a book. You may know what happens in the end and beginning but its what comes in between that is truly the heart of the story. The ex-glassmith only hoped that this chapter may have a happy ending in store for him. Sighing slightly he looked back to watch the new rider's reaction to the dragon who had confronted them so boldly.

"Ah~ Another couple..." Tideal mumbled and leaned over to see them past Rumir. A very handsomely speckled brown with amazing eyes that were now wielded as staring devices they used against their's. He glanced back at the blue that had lain down in the sand, not a care in the world. While the creature was quite handsome, Tideal couldn't help but smile a bit at its carefree attitude. That one was bound to be a handful.

Oh wow.. there had been some pretty little browns going on in those last two eggs!... And one of them had impressed to one BIIGGGGGG guy. Holycrap that guy was tall... and broad in the shoulders... and was everybody sure that guy should have been on the sands?

Just..
...
...

BIG guy. But the brown was ever so charming, wasn't it? He had to say so himself -- VERY charming.. then again, she was just in more awe of the dragons at this point in time.

Maybe the allure would wear off once she'd gotten a night of sleep.

Veyes wrapped his arms around himself knowing that by the direction the other brown was looking...someone else had found that ones heart. At the moment, he was starting to feel just a tiny bit sleepy...almost wishing he could join that blue for a long nap. It had been such a long day. He let out another yawn and stretched then glanced over at Ren to make sure that he was doing alright. "Seems that blue's nap is catching..."
