[G] [P] [EVENT] 735.06.30 | Virtuous Sins

V’ler was in his usual spot atop Veeth with the usual suspects surrounding them. He still didn’t know why he seemed to have his own rag tag group of friends but it made Veeth happy to have so many people they liked around, especially during Hatchings where they could watch the dragonets enter the world.

It was early when the humming began and it was surprisingly still somewhat early when the cracking on several eggs caught everyone’s attention. V’ler estimated just over two hours had passed from when the call went out and noted it was one of the shorter wait times they had to endure. Other things he noted that were a tad more interesting was the way R’nya so politely greeted Rhaedalyn who seemed to blush and look embarrassed by the attention before quickly busying herself with Aradissicath. That was probably a good thing since R’nya seemed to catch the eye of a woman and her children – the daughter extremely excited to see the bronzerider. The kids weren’t the right age to be R’nya’s though since they were clearly from the North and not Katilan. Maybe he’d look into that a bit more later.

His attention was finally properly grabbed when the eggs started shaking more violently with one giving its all to be the first on the scene. V’ler readied his writing tools, doing his best to block out the fact that there was a Harper from the Hall there to record the event as well. Not everyone was happy the dragons were back but Harpers couldn’t deny the itch to log everything significant and despite being there himself, V’ler knew his written word currently wasn’t entirely official anymore.

And with that thought, the first dragonet shattered the last bits of its shell and stumbled into freedom. Vengeance made one sweeping glance around the gathered crowd of boys and, with his nose snootily pointed in the air, gave a wobbly strut over to his mate. The young dragonet gave a solid head butt to the boy beside his chosen to get him out of the way and then gave a lighter one to his leg as well to make sure he had the boy’s attention before introductions were given.

Sloth and Charity were quick to follow their brother’s example and bits of shell soon started falling away until a snout or foot would peek through before darting back inside as if the air was much too cold for their liking. Or, in the case of Sloth, to get a better angle on the attack against the shell. Finally, a hole large enough for two feet to fit through was created but that seemed to be as far as the dragonet was willing to go as the egg fell over and the two little feet dangled in the air. V’ler heard some laughter from the crowd but he watched intently, willing the little one to put a little more effort into the fight to find freedom.

Whether it was his powerful thoughts or the dragonet simply wasn’t comfortable didn’t matter as Sloth finally broke free thanks to rolling again and bouncing off of Sweetness. The blue shook his head to clear it and then promptly laid down where he was, surrounded by shell bits. A little mewl of longing was given as his head lifted enough to seek out his bonded and it was enough as a boy gasped and stepped forward before stopping. V’ler was close to rolling his eyes at the kid that seemed about seven variations of shocked but finally the ‘brat moved forward to help collect the lazy blue dragonet that already seemed ready for bed.

As Sloth and his bonded shuffled off, Charity made her appearance. She took a moment to nudge her head against several other eggs as she passed them, hoping to help them break free as well. Finally, after winding her way free from her struggling siblings, Charity greeted the young boy she bonded to with a chirp and they made their way to the feeding buckets as well.

Thanks to Charity’s assistance, it wasn’t long before two more dragonets found their way out of the shells to join her. Sweetness and Sensual stumbled free, hitting their heads on each other in the process thanks to their close proximity. After examining one another for a moment, they chirped and bounded off in opposite directions to find their bonded. V’ler frowned as he did his best to watch them both but was happy to see that neither had any run-ins that were noteworthy. So far, the Hatching was off to a rather tame start and he hoped it stayed that way.

When Patience finally popped his head free of the egg and wriggled the rest of the way out, it had been nearly thirty minutes since anything more than shaking and random bits of shell falling free from other eggs. Time didn’t seem to matter to the blue dragonet, however, as he glanced around, taking in all the sights that were new to him before finally moving along to where his mate stood. Intrigued by the confused expression on the boy’s face, Patience sat down before him and simply stared back at him. They could do that all morning if need be.

Much like the blue that was having a staring contest with the disbelieving boy, Lazy didn’t feel much like moving either once she fell out of her shell. She didn’t like being covered in clinging sand but getting it off seemed like an awful lot of work after getting out of the shell! She attempted the same method as her brother, whining where she lay until someone came to rescue her but it seemed her bonded was timid and didn’t want to draw attention to himself. So she got up and the Impression was made, both seeming far happier once the sand started to be brushed off.

Kindness and Sexual were freedom twins as well as they both broke free and stumbled to find their footing. V’ler held his breath for a moment as the two greens stopped and stared at each other. It seemed like they were tensing to fight but Kindness turned away and began making her way across the Sands to her bonded, leaving Sexual to either stand there alone or do the same. Moments later and both girls had successfully found their lifemates without incident.

V’ler was still jotting down the honorifics of the new green weyrlings when another egg gave a final rattle that sent pieces of shell breaking away until a bronze was left shivering and with a piece of the shell still on his head. A boy laughed at the sight and Modesty looked around, confused, until he realized he was the object of amusement. The bronze was a bit upset and gave a creel of discomfort that quickly turned into a squeal of shock as his bonded stepped forward to punch the laughing boy for being so rude before quietly removing the shell from Modesty’s head.

Despite someone currently bleeding, V’ler still had to say this Hatching was going rather well. At least it wasn’t a dragonet that had actually done the damage. Still, a glance was given to Indivara and R’vi to see how they were handling another bronze being indirectly the reason for the violence.

The ?? will be changed to a character's name once they post. Those players have been notified about the Impression. While Impressions will most likely be just to LPCs or Trophies, it's still fun to give a bit of mystery to the Hatchings.
