Re: Gotta Touch 'em All! [Touching] - Flora - 04.Jul.13
Flora looked worried at first there was nothing comming from the egg. Was it a dud was there no dragon inside that never boaded well for a clutch. But no something stirred inside the egg. She could feel the slight intrusion in her mind reading her thoughts and emotions. Yes she was nervous that much was true. She worried that she would be found quite unworthy and maybe that would hold her back.
She felt like that a lot now since her mother had died when she was younger. He nervousness and doubt about fitting in was very much on her mind. She couldn't yet bury it. But she noticed that she wasn't the only girl to feel that way there were others or so the dragonette showed them to her. Many girls who all suffered from the same fear. It gave her strength to move on threw the nervousness and timidness she was feeling. She smiled gratefully and thanked the tiny dragonette before moving on to another egg on the sands.
This time she picked one that had what looked like smears of dirt on it but when she laid a hand on the surface much less timidly this time she realized it was the coloration of the egg not fingerprints left behind by the other candidates.

If Vee was disheartened by the lack of stirring with her touch it lasted only a fleeting moment before she felt the hatchling inside shy away from her, but the sensation of wonderment made the young woman smile brightly at the egg. She could tell the hatchling was thinking on what she said and it made her glad that she hadn't thought to withdraw instantly when there was no reaction to her touch. The questions that she felt were answered with a soft, "Of course it's alright dearheart, there is so much to see out here!" When she had made ready to leave the egg she felt the longing for approval and the questioning as to why she was leaving. "I am sorry, I have to go now, I would stay if I could." The parting question nearly broke Vee's heart. She wished she could reach down and hug the egg, sadly that might be frowned upon. She did offer a whispered answer before finally moving away. "Oh darling, you could never do anything wrong if you tried." The emotions and feelings stayed with her a few moments longer as she moved away, a smile remaining on her lips.
She cast another backwards glance at the egg and smiled a bit before moving off toward Krypth's smaller, but no less important clutch. The girl seated with Krypth she knew of, and frankly was one she did her damnedest to avoid. She was a tad bit on the volatile side from everything she had ever seen or heard, Vee could only imagine she had her reasons to be the way she was. She just wasn't going to try and befriends her or find out. She did offer her a polite smile and nod to them both before making her way to her golden egg. The egg was the palest yellow Vee had ever seen and though it had no change in the color seemed to have a certain character to it. She kneeled before the egg and brushed her fingertips lightly over the surface before resting her palm against it. "Hello sweet one. Are you doing okay today? Hope you're ready for your big day.", she said quietly, a girlishly happy smile on her lips as her eyes traced over the egg, waiting patiently and with high hopes, to see if she would receive a reaction from the dragonet within.
