Welcome to Gaia! ::

S'kiro stood back in the stands. His friend was down on the Sands again. He was wishing her the best of luck this time. Before long though, Dizzian had Impressed. He was joyous at the sight, a beautiful green. Mine, did you see? The large blue was also happy for the girl, though he couldn't remember her name. Yes, my heart. A pretty green. He would have to go and congratulate her later.

Oh, now there were two blues! The first one seemed to be rather...hyper. Or maybe he was just excited to come out of his shell. Who really knew? The other seemed to actually be somewhat quiet. Of course, right after the hyper blue found his partner another egg hatched to reveal a green. A green that seemed to have a bit of a worrisome feel to her, a fact that seemed to be confirmed when the quiet blue let out a worried noise. Aislin could only wonder what actually made her so worrisome.

The more level-headed blue watched the new green slink across the sands before shaking his head and continuing on his way. Meandering through the boys was easier now that the haphazard Solath was gone and he was able to better judge the Candidates. His was here, somewhere...

The green, however, lifted her head and stood proudly, regal with all the bearing of a gold in green's skin and looked around. Her eyes began to whirl shades of orange and red, cut through with yellow as she first looked to the boys then the girls. Crooning suddenly, she made for the girls, the colours of her eyes growing richer and deeper.

A few girls parted for her but those did not were maimed with flashing claws and teeth as the green bucked and shoved.

Courath looked on with sad disapproval as the vicious green tore through the ranks of girls. It was good that she had hatched first and found hers. Though she had managed to avoid the worst of the dragons over her past hatchings, Dizzian may have done something rash in her desperation to Impress. She chewed contemplatively, waiting for her sister's rage to burn itself out.

Dizzian winced as she watched. She'd seen her share of maulings and had narrowly avoided a few of her own. "Oh please, get out of her way!" She spoke quietly fervently urging the candidates to step aside, even if the green meant for one of them to be Hers, she may not realize it till she'd already attacked the poor girl!

.................................

Ailin breathed a sigh of relief as the green made her way towards the girls. If they didn't get out of the way and got themselves clawed it was their own fault. Just as he'd let himself get attacked. He turned his head from the green, not caring to watch the carnage and instead focused on the quiet blue that made it's careful way through their ranks. He recalled vaguely that it had stopped by him as he lay on the ground, he had been too absorbed in his own fear to truely notice though.

"Private and then the lake after?" Lena suggested to S'ren and E'lai. She doubted short of Threadfall itself the riders' duty for the day would be too strenuous. That was, after all, the benefit of Hatchings. Even the weyrfolk (or was that especially the weyrfolk?) got a good celebration out of the event. But the good mood of planning her party after the event didn't last long once events on the Sands really seemed to get going. That green... It didn't take a rider to be able to read the hatchling's state from the color whirling in her eyes. This could be very ill luck indeed...

Seeing Plexith also pose for Cepheith, Pipith issued a rumbling growl and fixed the other bronze with a red-orange glare, mantling his wings to make himself look bigger...to limited effect, of course.

While Set'al was focused on the mean little dragonet down on the Sands, it was impossible to miss his own dragon's growing agitation. "Hey!" He thwacked the bronze on the leg. "Knock it off, Pip." Don't you dare try to start anything here.

But-

No. Settle down, now. This is not the time and you know it.

Syn watched the rest of the hatching while she fed her new found green. So far another blue had impressed and and there hadn't been much excitement up until now. Now however, that green seemed hell bent on something or other and tore through the girls like some creature gone mad. She hoped that the green wasn't about to go between, they needed every dragon that they could get. Not to mention it always broke her heart to see such a sight. No one should ever have to go without theirs. She knew that especially now that she had impressed with Gementh. How had she ever been happy without her?

The green nudged Syn's hand impatiently yet lovingly. 'Why must sister make such a fuss?' She told Syn disapprovingly. 'Do not worry about her, I am still hungry Synmine.' Gementh took the bit of meat that Syn offered her quite happily and greedily. Eating it up just as quickly as the girl had handed it to her. Syn hesitated a moment, afraid to feed Gementh too much but was quickly reassured by her that there was no need to worry. Picking up another bit of meat she handed it to hers and continued to watch the hatching, hoping for the best.
