[G] [P] [EVENT] 734.09.13 | Carpe Diem [Hatching]

They are rather entertaining to watch, the bronze beside him commented, his voice heavy with amusement. T'drin grinned at the commentary of his dragon. Gelabrith had taken quite a shine to the dragonets that had come forth with all the exuberance of life and T'drin was somewhat surprised. He'd fully expected the bronze to be rather standoffish and bored with the entire affair of the hatching but Gel had proven once more that he was a riddle. The little green that was so happy to see that foot stuck in its shell was rather adorable, came another comment around a hum.

You were rather adorable when you were first hatched too, Gel, T'drin replied quite drily earning a grunt from Gelabrith. I was never that adorable. T'drin laughed. Gelabrith hadn't been adorable. He'd been hell on four legs, plowing over that little weyrbrat Flora and cutting her up with his talons, it had been lucky he'd missed Ameris, the girls had been standing so close together. But it was water under the bridge, the girl only lightly scarred and seemingly to flourish.

Only one bronze…

Did you see the size of this clutch, Gel? he told the bronze, Forty two eggs. There's bound to be more bronzes. T'drin shook his head as Gelabrith grunted again and hummed in full force. One bronze wouldn't be unheard of but with a clutch this size there had to be more. It couldn't be only one and the rest greens, blues, and browns. There was a gold, of course, but T'drin was more concerned with the bronzes. They would be his and Gelabrith's competition when they matured or their compadres, his concern was warranted.

As the next few hatched, more blues and a green was his only thought until Gelabrith's humming took on a different cadence. The little gold is making her appearance, Gelabrith told him around his hums. T'drin stood up straight and cranked his head around to watch the little gold crack shell. His amusement at her actions was large and a loud chuckle burst forth as she hopped in place a few times. She is going to be a handful he told the bronze with another amused snort as she darted about the girls standing, knocking one to the ground to peer into her face. He nodded firmly when she move away from the girl on the ground to finally find her match.

Maybe now there will be more bronzes, Gelabrith said hopefully. And his hope was dashed apart when more greens and another blue hatched. One bronze, he sighed dejectedly. Oh stop it, you big baby. There will be more, just you wait. T'drin laughed as he thumped the bronze on the shoulder.
