She honestly wasn't quite sure what to do with the egg once she'd taken it from V'zire; it had been less of a conscious decision than it had been the simple fact that she had become used to taking things that were shoved at her without question. It wasn't that she hadn't wanted it, exactly, but she was terrified that she was going to do something to damage the poor creature inside without meaning to. She held the egg gingerly in her cupped hands, almost afraid to do so much as move.
A small smile played across her face briefly, and she almost didn't notice K'tir approaching the table until he spoke, at which point she took a small step to the side and away from the center of V'zire's little display. It was a long moment before she realized that she was still holding the egg, at which point she wasn't quite sure if she should put it back on the table or simply bid V'zire and his newest customer--if that was what you would call him, anyhow, in this situation--thanks and good day respectively. Once she had decided on that course of action, however, she spent another long moment half-listening to the conversation going on between the two riders, waiting for a sufficient opening.
Once it came about, Aeldan surprised herself by not hesitating any longer than it took to cast a somewhat nervous look at K'tir before speaking up. "Oh, I think I'd like this one. That is, if you didn't--have plans for it already, or anything," she said, not quite sure if he had actually intended for her to have the egg he'd handed her or if it was just...a test-drive or something. She didn't know how this sort of thing worked, at all, and had kind of managed to throw herself into it without reading the instruction manual. Winging it was an acceptable alternative, surely!
