Ameris didn't remove her hand from like sunlit egg as the tiny creature inside began to inspect her. It was odd being sized up by such a small little thing and she certainly hoped she passed the tiny dragonets little test. She got nothing from the tiny being inside until the small one began to withdraw from her. The whirlwind of emotions barraged her mind and caused a tiny tear to leak from the corner of her eye and Ameris was instantly contrite. She hadn't meant for the little one to hear her thoughts, had meant to clear her mind of all things before touching the hardening shell before her and she clearly hadn't.
"I'm so sorry, little one. I didn't mean any of it. You will be perfect and lovely, and everything a little gold is meant to be," she whispered softly as she closed her eyes as she broke her own little rule. She knew better than to allow her own thoughts to color a touching. Her hand trembled slightly as her fingers stroked the egg once more before whispering quietly, "I'm so sorry." Coming to her feet, Ameris moved away from the eggs and towards the back of the pack of candidates. She dreaded when the event was over, when she had to go back home with the results. A'mad would insist she tell him almost as soon as she entered the hut and she would have to lie. His thrill at the first touching would earn her a reprieve but should she tell the truth of the second... Rislan would be staying at the creche for a few days and Ameris disliked leaving him there for so long, so a lie it would be.
