For a moment Ferra started to get stuck in that same loop, what if something happened to her too? Again! What if there was more poison, what if the safety measures that had been put in place since the last time didn't work? What if more candidates got hurt and as a result more of the dragonets ended up between? What if... no.
Ferra closed her eyes and took a deep shaky breath as she tried to reassure herself and the unborn dragon that there were positives too. What if things went perfectly? What if the baby dragon found the perfect lifemate? What if she Impressed too? What if they both succeeded and made everyone proud? What if they found a mark on the floor? Just like bad things could happen, good things could randomly happen too. It was fine. Hopefully. Maybe if they could both cling to more positive what ifs then... maybe it would make things easier.
When she finally felt a bit more calm herself (she wasn't sure if it helped the little dragon at all), Ferra pulled her hand away with a quiet, "Good luck." She took a look around at all the other eggs and decided that maybe she was done. She made her way to join some of the other finished candidates in the stands to just sit and try to collect her thoughts.
