While he was glad to see Indivara Standing officially for the first time, Ryvian was a little unsure over the reason that made her. She seemed determined to spite every single Northerner, especially the new batch that started to show up thanks to the so-called traditional Searching. Then again, Ryvian had also been prepared to use them to his advantage in getting her to Stand as well. He had a speech prepared about how the Northerners would win and she’d be seen as a pussy to them all if she didn’t write her name down on that parchment. In the end, he had quietly approved of her name going on the list and intervened to keep her from fighting before she got herself banned again. Isscer – S’cer now, or so Ryvian thought it was – was still occasionally given glares since he was the reason Indivara couldn’t Stand once and had a sore jaw.
None of that mattered now, though. Indivara had agreed to Stand and they were going to a Touching together. It was strange to have her there as a participant and not just watching from the sidelines with seething jealousy. Ryvian knew how important this experience was to the girl without her even saying a word about it. She had asked Nyvian, Kerrin, and him after every single one they went to what it was like and the responses they were given. Finally, she would have her own to marvel at.
Aradissicath’s hissing was greeted with a grin as Ryvian moved onto the Sands with everyone else. Some of the Northerners looked absolutely terrified of the disgruntled gold, though he couldn’t blame them. She was large and cranky; definitely not a good combination. Still, they continued on towards the eggs and that earned a bit of respect from Ryvian but that was all they got from him as his attention drifted from them to the eggs. It was temporarily grabbed by Tavynia who was waiting in line for the gold egg and Ryvian frowned for a moment. She had wanted to talk to him before the Touching but Indivara was around and Tavynia didn’t seem too interested in loitering. Instead she said they needed to have a discussion later on. That hadn’t sounded promising at the time and it still didn’t.
Finally deciding it was better to focus on the eggs instead of everyone else – although watching Indivara carefully make her way through the clutch brought a smile to the twin’s face and had him distracted for a moment more than he meant to be – Ryvian finally sought out an egg that seemed like a good fit to be his first of the clutch. The doubts that plagued him on and off since his brother Impressed were still lingering in the back of his mind and now he had the fear that if he couldn’t keep his sweet firelizard from betweening – which had been done out of distress thanks to losing his mate in Nyvian’s firelizard – why would a dragonet pick him and stay with him?
Shoving all the negative aside, Ryvian finally found an egg that intrigued him thanks to the way it looked like milky klah. Quietly he stepped up to the egg and knelt before it and placed his palm on the rough shell.
Whimsical Egg.
