It was a particularly nice day for the Touching. With weyrfolk focused on the honks and calls of the whjers echoing out away from the sands, the Candidates were amply able to finally, finally enter the sanfs to meet the small clutch ofSeistreth -- the last of her clutch to mother four, in hereyes beautiful, eggs. The eggs were ripe for attenyion too, almost tripping over one3 another to be seen in the sands it seemed -- at lest, two. And two remained calmer, but as the Candidates filed onto the sands, they were greeted by the sight of Seisytreth's muzzle being gently pinned by her rider, the green actually pouting -- any whom risked venturing too close from the stands' sides were greeted in preceeding weeks by the overeager green mothers immediate love and affection, trying to practically steal them from whatever was going on to try adding to her clutch. And Amila was having none of the loving green's shenannigans. Still, it was a fine day to meet the eggs at last, and the Touching began, not withthe common fanfgare of the previous clutches, but a whisper of welcome, with the unknown practically rocking in their shells in excitement picked up from their mother.
Reminders!
Amila comes from Benden originally, so candidfates are actually expected to bow to the mother. Shwe does however, understand her dragon is being a bit of a mother hen.
The eggs are found liasted eagerly awaiting!
Candidates should be approved but do not need to be signed up. However to be considered you MUST sign up here!
This opens RIGHTY NOW OH SNAP GO GO GO.
This will end March 15th at 11:59pm MDT. That's 1:59CDT, Approximately 10:00GMT on March 16, though my GMT conversions might be off -- Sorry! The hatching will begin shortly -- March 16th, in the Styates = 17th everywhere else. Sorry, I'm in the States. Lost.
Candidates are expected to be well behaved around the eggs. No trying to crack them open for the delicious secrets within! Amila will have you remobed if you harm any eggs and this will jeapordize your chjances of Standing! (But not Impressiong -- A Dragon knows, after all).
Candidates should also play reasonably nice with one another. AYou won't be removed, just given to Seistreth to cuddle until the Hatching. Fairly warned be thee.
Relax! I will be around throughout the days tagging, so don't feel rudshed. Thwere's four eggs and I'm kind of prone to an RP attachment. So there's no worries if your Candidate bnonds well with an egg!
HAS FUN MY LOVES!

A lot can sure change in a few sevendays, from sorting ore and shoveling rock to being surrounded by dragons every day. Some rider had Layhan dragon worthy, it would have been a hilarious joke had he not been living it. The thought he might wake up and this might all be a dream was wearing off, the chores certainly felt real enough! The young man was still settling in, getting to know his way around, making friends and already rubbing a few of his fellow the wrong way. There was always someone who thought themselves more important then they were, of course they deserved it when he played subtle tricks on them. Nothing too serious, a weed burr in a sock or an old miner favorite of replacing soap sand with very fine regular sand. Was going to take him some time to find a way to replace his stock now he no longer had access to grinding equipment.
The candidates had been given some instruction before being lead to the Sands. Layhan had concidered if he should try tripping up anyone that tried to be bossy, but knew there was little chance of getting away with it since they would be heavily watched so close to the small but precious clutch. There was some elbowing to get to the front of the group, but that was to be expected. Layhan didn't miss a beat as he stepped forwards and bowed to Seisytreth and her rider Amila as they had been told, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for the green being pinned down. They said that greens were not normally broody like this, not that a miner boy would know, but he didn't like how unhappy she looked.
Not many to choose from, but he knew the one that might receive the most attention. 'Bigger egg, bigger dragon' he had heard one of the others say, so the Stately Egg was going to have a crowd. Might as well start there. Fingers on the shell he tried tracing the pattern and examining the colour like he might a lump of ore. Certainly didn't feel like a rock. Kneeing down Layhan ignored the burning heat creeping through his breeches to put an ear against the shell. Could he hear anything?

For a moment, Stately was quiet. And then, oh, how it seemed to unwind, the presencewithin slowly and patiently unfurling to greet the boy politely with a calm annd coolness not unlike autumn. However the mind within wasn't cruel, and Stately seemed to examine him with a patient politeness before seeming to whorl about. Was aught amiss, perhaps? He seemed bothered by something, and while Stately much appreciated the attention, surely this was important, and the egg seemed to bid he share his concerns. Come! There was no harm in sharing them, now was there good sir? |

It was almost like the feeling when he was searched, when a slight weight in his mind had passed his mind like his thoughts weren't just his own. It had only been for a brief moment, this one was longer. Almost a conversation without words. Layhan gave the egg another gentle rub, silly thing there was nothing amiss but you. Everyone was anxious to meet you, and he was also afraid he just looked silly kneeling in the sand. Standing up he could feel the pain in his joints, yep that might sting for a while. Not his wisest move. The boy was sad to cut their time short, but the egg had many more people to meet and he should visit the others. It would be rude not to, and there was no promise that they were meant to be partners.
There was no promise that any of them would be.
A change of pace, one of the smaller ones. Fabulous Egg was closer, the shell colour being blue but they had been told this was deceptive. It likely held a green, was he greenrider material? What even was greenrider material? It wasn't his choice to make in the end, his perfect partner would find him when they hatched. The first experience with the eggs had been surreal, Layhan was curious if it would happen again as his fingers spread over the warm shell.

The feel was somewhat similar but had vastly different outcomes. Where Stately had been soft and cool, Eclectic was firm and cold. It was an attitude that demanded respect and order, things that both chaffed and inspired him. Rules were fine, he understood them, but sometimes they were harmless to be broken and to be too strict could blind you to reason. If it wanted to be grumpy then that was fine, he was sorry to have disturbed it by introducing himself.
From first receptions he wasn't sure he matched Eclectic egg, maybe less then Fabulous. Only one left, little Nerdy Egg, placed closer to the entrance almost as if it was of less importance. Crouching down with a little wince, he had learned his lesson about kneeling on the Sands, he gently stroked the little egg. It wasn't true, little one, you were still important and to one lucky person you would be their everything.

Earisa /quote] Anuka snuked aooricubfkr ar Layhan, ifferubg rhe candidate warm approval before Seistreth moved before Amila could confirm her grip. The green beamed with brilliant shades of blues and green at the boy and reached, beginning to noise him to her side with motherly creels of affection and maternal love not often seen in greens. Seistreth was a loving green however, and a clutch added to that. You are far too kind little one! came the green's reply. There is no need to rush away. Come and be wqelcomed at my side for some rest -- it is alright, little one -- I do not mind."Oh -- I'm so sorry. She's been trying to mother anyone who comes a bit too close. She's been feeling terribly mother-like, you se..." And the rider moved to see if Layhan wanted or needed help escaping. |
