V’ler wasn’t the least bit surprised when Veeth and his firelizards started humming at such an odd hour since it didn’t seem like dragonets like working on the same schedule as the human population. Well, most of the population. He was still awake, working on the song he was going to get B’jin to sing at the Hatching feast, which seemed like a good idea now that the Hatching was upon them. V’ler had figured there would have been a few more days but their timing was unpredictable not only by the hour but day as well.
Indivara had gone to bed before him and while he still wasn’t quite sure what to make of her continuing to sleep next to him, V’ler continued to say nothing nor did he try kicking her out. She had made some comment about his bed being safe thanks to a line he sang in a song. It had earned her a flat stare then considering his bed was probably one of the most active around – assuming he was near his bed during flight lust – but he didn’t want to take it away from her when it seemed to be something comforting for her after the last Hatching.
He almost didn’t wake her for the current one, unsure if Indivara would want to go but Indivara was stubborn and prideful. Nothing was likely to stop her from attending the Hatching if only to show she wasn’t bothered by anything. So, bundled up in one of his blankets with Quill deciding snuggling up in there was a great idea as well, she climbed atop Veeth to attend the Hatching with him, opting to stay put when V’ler did as well. He had perfected recording the Hatchings from Veeth’s back thanks to a small board balancing on his lap.
The Hatching for the most part had been pretty tame and surprisingly quick. V’ler appreciated that. He may not have been asleep when the humming began, but he hadn’t been to sleep yet either and the idea was starting to appeal to him. Scuffles between dragonets and even who face planted upon hatching were recorded but naturally it was the names that were the most important part. Veeth sat close to where B’jin and the actual assistants were and V’ler strained to hear the names of hatchlings and the honorifics given to the men.
Veeth was in his usual wonderful mood and greeted each pair that came by though V’ler frowned when a little extra attention was given to the greens. “Can’t you wait until they’ve at least matured?” He spoke aloud for Indivara’s benefit, hoping to make his friend laugh. She seemed to be doing well all things considered. She sat behind him so any glances would have been obvious but V’ler didn’t sense her tensing up when the bronze hatched so early on and he was certain he heard a sigh of relief when the gold emerged unharmed.
Who had the gold selected? V’ler squinted and frowned again as he tried to think who the girl was. She seemed familiar but he must not have had too much contact with her on a whole. B’jin called on him from time to time to help with a class but that didn’t mean V’ler remembered every Candidate, especially if they didn’t stand out to him in some way. Oh, music; that was where he knew her from. She hadn’t been that graceful with a guitar and he had corrected her. V’ler had no idea if she had improved at all but he knew she wouldn’t have much time for the first few months of dealing with a growing dragonet. He wished her well and luck with that task he had been lucky with thanks to Veeth’s delicate size.
I’m fun sized, love! Veeth’s melodic voice brushed his mind and Indivara’s. It was one of his favourite things to say about his smaller size and it always made V’ler smile. “That you are, Veeth. I think that one’s about to hatch.” V’ler pointed so both of his companions could get an idea about which rocking egg he selected as the next one to burst onto the scene and readied his quill.
