Zelly stretched as she waited with the group of other candidates. She was pretty excited, though perhaps not as excited as some of the other candidates. On the plus side she also wasn't as nervous about it as some of the others. She'd heard the stories of this gold's last touching and hatching, but she hadn't been there herself, and with how stories and rumors tended to run wild and out of control she wasn't really sure what to believe.
She gave Ullie and Gail little waves as once they were allowed on the Sands, and she took a moment to figure out which egg she was going to touch. With people already lining up for the gold, she decided to circle around and eye the other eggs. Maybe if she picked a good one, she could get her own dragon and not have to pester A'tay for rides for her brother. She could give them to him herself! Or convince him to stay in the Weyr and get his own!
That was a fun thought and it made Zelana smile. She'd be fine if her brother decided to leave their parents high and dry... but it probably wouldn't be good for them. Eh, she'd bring it up in her next letter. For now she walked up to a nice egg and set her hands on it with a cheery, "Hi!"
Egg 1
