Humming. Why were things humming? Vaeyla made a whining noise and she sifted, moving closer to K'ton and, in an attempt to ignore said humming, pulled her pillow over her head. However, the humming persisted and, in fact, became increasingly insistent that she pay attention to it.

As did the presence in her mind that felt a plethora of emotions, the main one being annoyance, followed by something akin to excitement, or at the very least happiness. Digger, obnoxious beast that he was, dropped onto her back from wherever he had been perched, his humming not stopping as he stuck his head under her pillow to grab onto and pull several strands of her hair, which caused her to yelp, jump up, and inadvertently elbow the brownrider beside her.

NOW the presence in her mind was extremely amused, as it was her fault the little beast that was now screeching and flying overhead had snatched a mouthful of hair in the first place. Finally awake her brain started connecting small dots. It was extremely early, she was being woken up by humming and her dragon was not speaking to her but was annoyed and excited.

"Shells!" She tossed the blanket aside as she rolled over, giving K'ton a thump to his arm as she did so. "Hatching! Get up! They're hatching!!" She threw herself out of bed, grabbed some clothes and pulled them on as she hurried off to the bathing room to freshen up.

A short time later, after several minutes of trying to forcibly get her mate moving, mostly because he enjoyed seeing her face turn different shades of red, which had nothing to do with anger, they were sleepy yet excited, she more than he most likely, and landing on the warm sands where she dismounted after giving K'ton a kiss. Ironth greeted Nadioth who crooned at him softly, then in the very next breath growled and snapped her teeth at him to be gone from her and her eggs. That's not nice!, she said from the sands by her dragons head. I don't have to be nice. What took you so long? The annoyance in her dragons voice was fairly normal these days, so she ignored it and simply hugged her muzzle, so to speak, and planted a soft kiss to her hide. Ready for this? Nadioth gave a snort and a soft grunt in response, tail sliding back and forth across the sand, tongue lashing out from between slightly parted lips. Yes.

She watched as Ironth and an amused K'ton took off from the sands to find a perch and seat, respectively, then thought of something. Have Digger show Evritt where K'ton is so he will have a good view, please and thank you. Done. However, I do not understand why he can not be here with us. Yes you do, you just don't like it., she told her as she let dark eyes wander over the eggs, some of which were starting to wiggle here and there. No, I don't. He's mine and yours and should have one of MY children., Nadioth huffed. We've been over this...he has to wait just like everyone else. You will fly again, he can stand when he's old enough. The gold grumbled but dropped the subject as dragons and riders started to filter into the sands.

Rhezalth entered and settled near her, though smartly not too near. She growled low at him regardless as he rudely did not greet her as was expected of him. Manners meant a great deal to the gold and though she had allowed him to sire her clutch, he was most certainly NOT her Ironth, who had manners in spades. She snorted and ignored him for the time being when Vee smacked her leg for growling at him. He's rude! No, he's young. Excuses!, she hissed but said no more. Vee gave N'mor a wave and an apologetic smile for Nadioth's grumpy growling. She assumed most people would be used to fussy gold's at hatching time, but as she had told her dragon about his, he was young. Oh well, he'd better get used to it and soon if Rhezalth was going to be catching golds often.

Nadioth paid little attention to most of those who entered the sands for the hatching, however, when the candidates started filtering in she raised her large head off the sands and scanned those who entered, prompting Vee to do the same. She smiled and returned the wave when she saw Nerreh enter. Nerreh's here! I see her, and of course, she is. I told her she had to be. I would have demanded she be brought had she not., Nadioth said matter-of-factly. She liked a few of the other candidates as well, very few, but they had all been very good while touching her eggs, as loathe as she was to admit it and hoped they all impressed well and took good care of her children. Vee felt her dragons line of thought and gave her leg a pat after climbing up on it to sit. I am sure they will all Impress well. Indeed.

For the most part, Nadioth remained quiet after that. A hiss or low grumble here and there when dragons or people came too close. She had eyed the green Larrikith with something close to malice when she dropped her rider off near Rhezalth, but she knew the green and her rider well enough to control herself, which Vee was excessively proud of her for. Vee had looked over and given the weyrlingmaster a smile and wave but wasn't certain if he had seen her, as he was busy embarrassing the shells out of N'mor. She couldn't help but giggle. Luckily she was then distracted by the arrival of another dragon to the sands, Thallyath had landed and properly greeted Nadioth, which pleased the gold. She whistled a return greeting to the older gold, even though she didn't particularly care for other females near her eggs she liked Thallyath and considered her a proper gold.

From there on, until the first egg cracked it shell Nadioth and Vee spoke only, or mainly, to themselves, returning greetings, as was proper, to those who deserved or provided them first.
