Casa listened intently, ready for the barrage of questions. She'd kind of figured it out on her own, figuring it a lot like dragon hatchings. It had - and hadn't - been. So she took a deep breath before launching into what she liked to call "the speech". It was a lot like what the candidate and weyrling teachers offered, but less boring. Or so she liked to think.
"Dragons don't really hum for flitts much; they might take an interest, but its not the same like a Hatching. The eggs will rock, like a normal Hatching, and then crack open. If you have a rider friend you can spend time with, they might notice the signs. If not, I'll make Kaylee an' Edge follow you around, they know the deal."
She paused, taking another sip of the juice and continuing with a grin. "When the firelizards hatch outta their eggs, you gotta get their attention with food - I used raw meat scrap and meatrolls - and make them focus on you, not each other. Otherwise, they might fight. Just stuff food in their faces as fast as you can, and they will eat until they fall over, all full and sleepy."
She pursed her lips, trying to describe the next part. "You'll know they've connected with you because your head feels all...funny. When they bond, you kinda get their emotions. So, you'll feel all hugely ravenous, and kind of irritated, and then you'll feel sleepy. That's how you know they are all bonded. In turn, you gotta project all the love and welcome you can at them, and they'll pick up on it, and that seals the deal." She shrugged, hoping the description - and the use of Edge and Kaylee - would be enough to walk her friend through the process.
