Thinking about how T'ryn had asked her to give A'tay a little help, the goldrider glanced over at him and tried to think of ways to be reassuring. "So..." Cazan's voice faded as she decided that maybe asking if he thought anything would go wrong would probably invite trouble. At the same time, saying she hoped nothing went wrong was also probably not going to go well. While Malvayth's last hatching had been rather uneventful, the dragon had been quite stressed most of the time; this time she'd been much more calm and relaxed, which instead had Caz a little bit on edge. So she took a deep breath, studied the eggs as some of them gently rocked, and instead asked, "What color do you think the first one will be? You're doing great by the way. No one really pays attention to us anyway since everyone is curious about the eggs and the dragons."
Except she wasn't given very much time as one of the eggs rocked so violently it tipped over onto its side. An earthyBrown punched its head through the shell peering around for a moment before breaking completely free and shaking bits of egg shell everywhere before pausing to preen and try to clean himself. It was hard to pay attention to him though as the Gold egg gave a rock and tipped over, chips cracking and falling away to reveal glimpses of gold as the top of the egg began to bounce, occasionally making it high enough to reveal tiny claws scrabbling and batting at it.
Cazan gasped for a moment, though her surprise at seeing the gold show itself so soon was quickly replaced by amusement as she softly asked, “Is… is she just playing with her shell?” Malvayth let out an amused rumble as she watched, delighted and pleased to see that her daughter seemed rather happy. Another crack stole her attention and Caz turned to see a blue head sticking out of an egg. NearbyGreen 1 popped out of her shell with a whine of complaint. Taking offense, Blue 1 gave her a swat and the two stopped to just hiss and growl at each other.
Before the goldrider could worry too much about the conflict,Brown 1 finally decided he was clean enough and shoved his way between the bickering pair on his way to his boy who he greeted with a rather business-like chirp. Distracted from their fight, the pair split up; Blue 1 skulked off to find his boy, chirping and crooning at him until he left the group he was standing with to join him, and Green 1 trotted off to to her boy on the opposite side of the Sands, offering several annoyed complaining screeches even after he tried to assure her everything was fine.
