[G] [C] 733.11.17 | Scrambled Eggs [N'kal, Rhaedalyn, R'nya, Invite]

N'kal had just finished his evening meal and was on his way back to his hut when Torath's voice boomed through his head as if he was standing within a circle of signal drums. They are here!!!!!! N'kal stopped in the middle of the path, hands over his ears as if the massive beast had grown actual vocal cords and had bellowed the words right behind him. It was bad enough that his ears were ringing, he was thankful Torath was controlled enough not to go shouting to the entirety of Pern that his eggs had finally arrived. At least, once his head stopped feeling as if a smith was banging on it, is what he assumed his suddenly insane dragon was blaring on about.

For cryin' out loud Torath!, N'kal started but was cut off just that quickly but his overly excited bronze. Come to the sands quickly!!! Okalinath is clutching!!! Torath waited for no response, expecting his rider to make every effort to be present for at least most of the clutching. There wasn't much that made N'kal run, but he did make a hasty about face, considering he had guessed correctly about the eggs, and headed all the way back toward the sands. His stride was purposeful and determined, and those that knew him or knew of him would have been sure to get out of his way, he wasn't running, but he was walking quickly, his long legs making decent work of the distance. Torath was already on the sands, near the outer edge, not wishing to crowd the gold, but wishing to be near, as odd as that was. Even as a dragon he knew males were very rarely around for clutchings, but he was very fond of Okalinath and her little human and he wished to be near them both, as did N'kal, though his grouchy bonded would most likely never admit to it. He rumbled happily when another girl entered the sands, her own young gold prancing her self around them. She was a sweet dragon, but she was not Okalinath.

N'kal entered the sands not long after Rhaedalyn and he was loathe to interrupt the prancing gold dragon or the hugging young woman. He was still fairly new to being around women for extended periods of time, and the girl still made him feel rather..out of sorts. He instead moved off to the side with Torath, hopping up onto his leg, settling himself quietly in the crook of his leg joint, leaning back against Torath, one leg propped up, the other hanging over the side of Torath's leg, as the dragon crooned softly in Okalinath's direction. You are doing wonderfully Okalinath, your clutch is magnificent., he said gently to Okalinath before dropping his head to look at N'kal, who patted his neck gently I am glad you have come N'kal!, Torath said to him, excitement and pride in his voice, though he was quite a bit quieter this time. I wouldn't miss it for anything., he replied then looked back over at the girls. He offered them both a kind smile and a nod and Torath eyed the trio of females and rumbled a greeting to them before turning his great head again to watch Okalinath labor with her eggs and move them about as she laid them.
