Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was by luck only, something that Tadej had in spades, that the man was nearby when the hatching started. He might have missed it were it not for the sudden interest shown by Einion, the bronze firelizard that was flying in lazy circles around his head. The two of them were on a delivery, bringing some pieces of his father's handcrafted jewelry, and even a piece that Tadej himself had been in charge of making. They had just barely gotten it delivered, and the payment in hand, when Einion landed on his shoulder and started to shift in a manner that seemed impatient, "What is it my little bronze? In a rush?" He asked in a curious manner, "Ahh, you are probably hungry how about we... Einion? Hey! Where are you..." He trailed off when he watched the bronze flit off without him.

Turning to his customer he gave him a polite bow, "Thank you for your purchase, we look forward to seeing you in our shop again." He said before turning on his heel and raced off after Einion, wondering what had gotten into him. He hadn't heard anything about any golds that were getting ready to fly, as such he wasn't really sure what it was that had captured the attention of his bronze. It wasn't long though before he saw what it was, eggs, "Ahh, so this is what brought us here." He said, when the bronze returned to him and came to perch on his head, humming in delight, eyes wide and glittering with delight. There was nothing like a hatching to bring people, and firelizards, together he thought to himself. It was a shame that Amelia couldn't be here to see this, she was there after all when he got his bronze and she ended up with Einion's brother, "I am guessing that you want to stay and watch? Or..." Should he try for another? He wondered what his father would think if he came home with another of those 'flitting beasts' as he called them.

He glanced up toward Einion as he felt the little bronze kneading at his head and then chuckled, "Alright, we can try." No reason not to, right? He was making more of his own money as he got better and better at his craft, he could afford to feed another little mouth were he so lucky as to impress one of them. Surely his father couldn't complain, at least not too much, if he took responsibility for the one he brought home unlike when he was younger and brought home Einion.

(OOC: Since Tacelon hasn't been approved yet, and I want him to have a Search RP, should I RP as well? If so, should I RP him getting an flit here, them pretend he had it all along, before he came to the weyr? Or should I RP him getting if here, not having one when he was Searched, and just claim that between now and the next time he' RPed in the weyr, enough time has passed for him to train the flit?)

(OOC: He's not likely to interact with people much anyway, so I'll RP him here. More RP is always good. Thanks.)

Tacelon had just finished his chores for the day and stopped in the kitchen for a bite to eat. It was late for a full meal, so he was just collecting a couple meatrolls and a cup of klah from one of the kitchen workers when the firelizards in the cavern started raising a fuss. Almost right away all the humans in the cavern started raising a fuss too, and in moments a platter of meat was being rushed to the area where all the activity seemed to be centered. Curious, Tacelon wandered in that direction too, and by scooting around to the side and ducking between some taller people, he managed to catch a glimpse of what everyone was looking at. Ah, a clutch of small eggs. Firelizard eggs, judging by the humming an excited snatches of conversation. He didn't bother to get too close himself, since he didn't think any flit would find him remotely interesting. But he did think watching the hatching would be nice, since he'd never seen one before. So he settled in to watch for the shells to crack, taking a bite of his meatroll while he waited.

Hekate had been down in the lower caverns on chores when the commotion started as the firelizard eggs which had been under many watchful eyes suddenly began to crack. Nearly leaping out of her skin and eyes glittering the woman turned pushing her way through the small crowd to peer down at the little ones.

Ooo a bronze and a brown, lucky start to this little hatching she thought. "Hello little ones." She cooed to the two with a broad smile that was only slightly tinted with her natural wicked gleam. Hekate was simply one of those people who even on the nicest day looked as though she was up to something.

Tadej looked over the pair that hatched first and couldn't help but to give a bit of a smile, "Well now, Einion. That first one looks a bit like you." He said to his bronze who instantly seemed to lean in to get a better look at the one that 'looked like him'. The bronze merely hummed in response, giving a neutral sort of response though his claws did dig into Tadej's scalp a little deeper then he meant too, "Oh? Perhaps you would prefer the brown as a friend?" He asked in a curious manner, wondering if perhaps Einion might end up a little jealous were he to impress another bronze. Taking a step closer he picked up some of the meat and waited, looking the two hatchlings over as well as the eggs that were still rocking. There were quite a few left and he had to admit that he was curious what might be in them.

"Wonder if there might be a gold." He mused to himself, a thought that seemed to rouse Einion's interest as the bronze seemed to go about studying the eggs as though if he squinted hard enough he might see what was within, "Have patience, Einion. They will hatch and greet us soon enough." He reassured the bronze who seemed almost as eager as some of the people around them to see what might hatch from the various eggs. Tadej himself felt just as excited but knew that patience was a virtue. Rushing the hatchlings would only startle them, best that he hold the meat and wait for one to take an interest it in as well as himself and the bronze who was currently playing at being his hair accessory.

As Tacelon peered around someone standing in front of him, a bronze cracked it's shell. It seemed an unusually violent method of breaking free, but since he'd never seen a hatching before he couldn't be sure. Still, bronze hatching first was lucky for dragon clutches, wasn't it? Maybe it was lucky here too. Though what that luck pertained to, he had no idea. Though it seemed st least unfortunate that the bronze seemed bent on eliminating "competition" right off the bat. It seemed that one would be a handful.

And then a brown broke free with far less fuss, simply pushing open the shell and walking out. A much more calm flit, this brown. Amazing how the personalities of these little ones seemed evident already. Either way, there was a bronze and a brown free. Whoever managed to Impress these ones would be lucky.

As the brown firelizard chose the one he wanted out of the crowd Tadej couldn't help but smile, "How wonderful." He murmured, lifting a hand up to scratch Einion under his chin. He would have congratulated the man on the impression were there not so many eggs still left to hatch. Deciding that such words could be saved for later after all the other had hatched and impressed he took a step closer to the pile of eggs as one of them started to rock rather rapidly, one that was attention grabbing for sure, and Tadej's eyes widened a little, "Well now that one seems to be holding someone quite excitable." He murmured to himself and Einion, then gave a bit of a gasp as the green within the egg all but exploded out of it, sending shards out in all directions.

"Well now, someone is quite proud of their entrance." He said, giving a little chuckle as he watched the way the green started to call out to the crowd, seeming quite pleased with her flashy appearance. Between this green and the bronze that hatched first he had to say that it was already quite an interesting group with very strong personalities. One could only guess what the others might be like if the first three were any indication.
