"He's so cute!" I said, seeing Xink crawl onto Xangord's head. "I'd have Nerissa send him home--"
"He's not going through the transporter," Xangord said.
"--but since he's so small I don't think I will," I finished, smiling. "For now, I'm going to have the two of you stay here and have Nogard protect you."
Transforming into my human form--my new water hair was a bit unnerving--I went into the corridor. Quickly taking stock of the situation, I lifted Rose and put her in AUNTIE-D's arms. "Don't let her walk. She needs to conserve her energy."
To Nissa, I said, "Xink's been hatched. It wasn't a normal hatching so I want your AI and Nogard to stay here and watch over her."
To Rose's group, I said, "We're going to go see the fairies. No one is to talk unless spoken to--I am to do all the talking. If you value your lives, do NOT be rude--they're upset at me already and that's fine. They have cause to be. You do not want them to be upset at you."
As I turned, I suddenly poofed into my chibi form. Swearing in dragon language--the last thing I needed was to be chibified when dealing with the fairies--I led the others to the hold where Nerissa had used her gravity controls to hold the fairies to the floor.
