(Leyton) weyrbrat, (K'ton's son)
His eyes had barely closed before the smooth voice of his father's brown cut through his sleepy thoughts. Ironth insisted he wake and get ready because the eggs were hatching. Leyton darted from his bed and tripped to fall flat on his face. He could already feel the excitement of the moment as he heaved himself from the floor to tear through his clothing. He quickly donned his robes and a sturdy pair of shoes before dashing from his room.
He managed to get himself into a stately walk before he entered the hatching circuit. A jaunty wave in the general direct of K'ton and Leyton positioned himself with the others standing around the eggs. His earlier excitement trickled back as the eggs seemed to waste no time and began to hatch ing rapid succession. A little brown was first and Leyton's back stiffened as he tried - unsuccessfully - to will the little guy towards him. How exciting it would be to have a brown just like his father!
A tiny frown of disappointment grew as he watched the dragonet impress to another boy. He silently shooed the little green away and stood up straighter as a bronze looked about with disdain. A sigh and the bronze was impressed to someone else. A blue would do but wasn't his first choice and he was relieved when the next few impressed in quick time despite the small tussle. If asked he would deny the disappointment he felt when both newly hatched browns impressed to other boys but would never deny the pride that puffed his chest when his father gave him a wink and thumbs up from the sidelines as he waited, ever so patiently for that perfect dragonet.
