The eggs were hatching faster than Isscer had ever seen them, one right after the other, the Sands a mass of dragonets as they moved through the Candidates. For a moment, Isscer thought he was safe; they were going around him, ignoring him, and a hint of a triumphant smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
It faded instantaneously when the little green approached him.
Isscer barely breathed, feeling her move around his legs, the gentle gusts of breath making his robes tickle against his legs. He couldn't move, as he was afraid that sudden movements would force an Impression, but it didn't matter. She sat there for so long, staring, that Isscer felt a cold sweat coming on and the hair on the back of his neck stood up.
Please, not me. You don't want me--I would be a horrible bonded! It was a mantra that Isscer truly did believe; he didn't think he would be a good dragonrider, and it wasn't simply because he hated Katila. He had never had to care for anything besides plants, and plants couldn't talk back or cause trouble. After a moment of intense scrutiny, she moved away and Isscer could breathe again, reaching up to wipe his forehead and the back of his neck with the sleeve of his robe.
