Mylorah arrived about a week earlier and despite the caution and unease that hung in the air after the latest attack on Ameris, she'd been having a good time. She was being just as cautious as everyone else and tried not to walk alone anywhere given what she had heard about Ameris' attack (and how badass she was to fight back with a knife!) and even poor K'tir weeks earlier in Ista. But, she was able to catch up with friends from other Weyrs that were also arriving for the Hatching and, of course, her favourite bronzerider she wasn't related to (N'mor didn't count since he was practically family). T'drin was always fun to visit and she'd met the super sexy Healer Rhamnus through him as well.
Despite all of that fun, Mylorah was well-rested and her spirits were lifted as she entered the Sands and took in the clutch for the first time. Some people liked peeking in early but Mylorah never wanted to disturb the gold dragon and there was a bit more of a thrill with seeing the eggs for the first time as she slowly approached them. It was a good-sized clutch and of course the gold egg stood out and made the clutch all the more impressive.
She giggled when she spotted Katiryn practically speed-walk her way to the golden egg. Her friend was determined to Impress gold and always tried to get in there first and sometimes a second Touching if there was time. Mylorah never minded waiting since she didn't believe the Touching swayed the dragonets in any way and this was all just for show and to keep the old traditions alive. She would get to it before their time was up, though. No way did she want the Weyrlingmaster's wrath if she didn't follow that tradition.
As she passed Zelana, Mylorah gently placed her hand on her friend's arm and gave a smile and nod to quietly encourage her. Zelly was understandably nervous and Mylorah had to admit she was a bit as well if she looked beneath the good mood she was currently in. Being a goldrider seemed to come with a large target now and some believed that about any colour at this point with some of the deaths.
Still, it wouldn't do to startle the babies before they were even hatched and Mylorah pushed away such thoughts and focused again on her friends and how they always lifted her up. Positive thoughts would help the dragonets, though she also wasn't sure if they remembered any of the interactions that would happen that day. Rounding the outside, she finally stepped up to an egg that was tilted just slightly to the left and pressed a palm to it.
