A'tay was laying low in his office, doing the last touches on the administration side of things for their Turn's End celebration. It was midday, a time when most of the residents of Igen Weyr would be in their weyrs or visiting friends in the lower caverns or working down there due to the heat. He would have been resting as well if the notice that Amagrith's Hatching was about to begin, likely in the next several hours, hadn't come in. Instead, he worked through the growing heat to ensure nothing was overlooked while he and K'dar were out.
He had his full faith in Nonalia, his partner in crime for planning the parties that were more 'everyone-friendly', but he felt bad leaving her last second for another Weyr's Hatching. But how could he not go? It was Mylorah's Hatching and Wynera and Zelly were Standing. Other siblings were Standing as well, but Winnie was the one that truly made A'tay ready to fight K'dar for the chance to go. He knew it was an awkward situation since Mylorah was also his sister and he counted Wynera and the boys as his actual siblings as well. In the end, after hearing how the Touching went, K'dar announced they would both attend the Hatching and that the ladies could handle the Weyr with them both gone just this once. They bucked tradition in a lot of other ways, so A'tay figured now wasn't the time to stand up for them.
When the second announcement came from Mylorah urging them to get a move on as more eggs were joining in on the fun, A'tay brought his lists and letters of approval to Nonalia so she'd have them on hand in case something came up. He offered to leave her Shadow as well in case they needed to reach him or K'dar right away, but she declined. They had other firelizards that were reliable and even some reliable dragonriders that could pop over.
Feeling only slightly guilty at leaving everyone else to do the finishing touches, A'tay geared up Xyxyth and followed K'dar and Tiberuth to Telgar. The blast of cold air both from between and entering Telgar's space was pure bliss and he allowed Xyxyth a moment to indulge in the cool breeze as they lazily circled down to the ground.
He took a moment to greet T'ryn and Cazan and on his way to find a seat, was startled by his sister's firelizard appearing. "I'm to keep an eye on you, I'm guessing?" Hook gave a trill of excitement before he and Shadow darted off to chase each other. With a smile and a shake of his head, A'tay spotted M'quel and moved to sit beside her, excited to catch up with his best friend. A few minutes into it, both blue firelizards returned to him, stealing the empty laps for pettings and naps.
