Kahleena didn’t know where to look! She desperately wanted to watch her friend, and she desperately wanted to watch the eggs, but she couldn’t stop yawning! It was so early! Even R’nya’s mild frown wasn’t enough to control the action! Kahleena drew back, hiding slightly as the eggs stopped. Along with many of the others, she took the long period of time that slowly evaporated without action to nip out and clean herself up, get dressed, even brush her hair! Food was eaten, and wandering feet brought her back. The girls original enthusiasm had diminished quite a lot since the original rocking of the eggs, but it didn’t stop her honest delight at what the day promised and she cuddled Muffin happily when the little blue came to her.
Then it was all happening again and Kahleena gave a soft squeak of excitement and anxiety was she waved enthusiastically at the girls making their way back onto the sands. The little green quickly caught her eye, and Kahleena folded her hands together, anxiously bouncing on her toes as she waited for the little one to Impress! It didn’t take long; within moments of breaking shell, the little green was stumbling brazenly across the sands, her nose in the air as she met her partner, the young man welcoming the little one eagerly.
The eggs were all rocking so hard! Kahleena’s hands had risen, her teeth biting into her pointer fingers at the first knuckle as she tried desperately to watch the entire small clutch at once! So many! There were too many! Which to see? Which to watch? A crack shot down the length of the gold egg, and Kahleena groaned under her breath as desperate eyes locked on it. Her heart was pounding and she was pretty sure she was about to faint from the anxiety!
Another egg fell to pieces, a green hatchling toppling out of the shattered remains; creeling unhappily, eyes a hot red of protest. It was hot outside, but the air on her back was cold, and where was her bonded? Her anger turned to joy as a young man rushed forward, assisting with putting her limbs in all the right places and lead the little one that had come from the Brewing Storm egg across the sands to feed, and bathe and then – more sleep!
Being sure to keep everyone’s gaze well and truly locked away from the frantic attempts of the gold egg to Hatch, the Poisoned egg suddenly grew a set of green legs, little feet wobbling while toes wiggled. Kahleena joined many of the watching audience in delighted giggles as the creature fell backwards, rocking on the shell as a muffled and indignant squawk came from within the egg. Kahleena bit down on her fingers as several Candidates looked to one another, apparently trying to decide who would go forth and free the youngster. Finally, a young man stepped forward – she couldn’t place him right away – but when the dragonet was freed she went dashing off to the other side of the group in a flurry of sands to Impress, leaving him sitting in a pile of eggshell.
The gold egg fell still again and Kahleena’s eyes snapped back to it, her breath in the throat. What if it had hatched, while she was giggling over the turtle green?! What if she had missed it and one of her friends had Impressed and she’d missed it?! Heart pounding, Kahleena actually jumped visibly when Okalinath’s soothing voice brushed away her silly ‘what ifs’ with a gentle laugh.
