Kordiavis was dressed and looking rather presentable compared to a good portion of the other Candidates. Didn't they have any standards? It didn't matter that they were all wearing ugly robes that no amount of gems could make desirable, they could have at least brushed their hair or stopped shuffling along like they were sleep-walking. Shaking his head in disgust, he finally pushed off from the wall he had been leaning on to observe the frantic antics of everyone else and meandered his way to the hatching ground.
It was his first Hatching and while he knew he should be excited or nervous, he wasn't. He felt almost empty inside. He wondered if that was the result of his excitedness over the possibility of being a dragonrider clashing with his fears of what his mom thought about it all. He was tired of living by her whims, worrying what she would think and how she'd react. It was why he decided to Stand this time. It was his life and he was going to do what he wanted with it, finally. But it made him a little nervous as well. He knew she already blamed him for her not being with her dragon. Her dragon died in the plague but she was pregnant with him at the time and couldn't kill herself to 'reunite' with her dragon. Kordiavis still didn't fully believe that story and figured other people stopped her from doing the deed. Now, he wondered how Alcynnia would react to him Impressing. Or what if he didn't? Who she gloat or say it was for the better because then he wouldn't have to experience the pain of when the dragon left him?
He wasn't going to think on that any longer. He dwelled on it way too often the closer the hatching got and it was time to let it go and just see what happened. When Kordiavis entered the area, he scanned the groups looking for people he both tolerated and even liked. He saw Mylorah and Misharan standing in the general area of each other and figured that was a good spot as well. He found them both interesting, especially after the poker game and decided they could make the Hatching more enjoyable. He also knew they both had experience with them and would know if something was going wrong and warn him.
"Hey," he greeted them both but didn't say anything else. What would he say? 'Great day for a Hatching?' Maybe a 'did you get any sleep?' He didn't really care. He had slept and assumed everyone else had received several hours as well.
