Cazelarias could think of about a million things he would rather be doing at some unnatural hour of the night. Things like sleeping and not being woken up by annoying miniature dragons that clawed at him until he stopped ignoring them, hoping the little things would go away. They didn’t. So when he’d pulled his head out from under his blankets, he came nose to nose with both of his twin’s little hellions and yelped. Then he’d found the note that said the eggs were Hatching and he heard the humming that was starting to get quite loud and he sighed. He sighed such a deep sigh he almost fell asleep again.
But no, he wasn’t allowed to sleep at night like a normal person. The firelizards wouldn’t let him and kept hassling him until he was up, and dressed, and following them obediently to the Hatching Grounds, as if they didn’t believe he could have found his own way there. He knew where the Hatching Grounds were! He spent enough time visiting Cazan there and trying valiantly to ignore her giant golden maneater that he was still not convinced wouldn’t eat him. Best to ignore her, and her attempts to talk to him and pretend to be invisible.
So, with his mind focused on not existing, Cazelarias found a seat as near his sister as he could, still shocked by how fat she was with her growing offspring (but wisely kept his mouth shut. He’d already been punched in the arm once for making a comment about it, and Cazan’s punches hurt!) and instead waved to her when their eyes met. Hi, I’m here. Now what? Was written all over his expression as he curled up on the seat and turned his attention from fat sister to wobbly eggs. So long as they all stayed away from him, he could survive this event and then go back to his wonderful bed. He missed his bed. Cazelarias sighed.
