When the weyrbrat who had brought the combs offered to help, Terken nodded and picked up the ones with narrower gaps between the teeth. HE spoke to her softly. "Here...See how her coat has two layers?" He showed her, letting her see the thick guard hairs and then the downy soft layer of fur underneath them. "She wasn't cut by the glass, she'd be acting differently, if she was hurt." He shook his head. "Looks like she dove right through one of the windows in the hut I put her in for the hatching." He added softly, "Our job is to work the shards and pieces from her coat before they work into the hair and the kin under it."
He worked with Casa until the eggs started rocking, then made sure the area around her collar was completely free, guiding the weyrbrats hand to it. "Here use this to lead her to the rider with the dark green dragon, over there. She's sitting with a bronze rider. You can sit with them and keep working. The blanket should make sure you don't get burned."
He trotted over to the sands before he could get called, worried about Kela, having to trust her with someone else, and hoping she would obey. His focus switched to the sands then, watching the eggs rock, awed when a gold hatched first. She was beautiful...For a moment he felt a bit of wonder, understood why people wanted a dragon to pick them.
