Rolling out of bed, Farlint managed to shove his feet into his boots, blinking fuzzies out of his eyes. It wasn't that unusual to be awoken in the middle of the night, but usually for a Runner giving birth, not for dragons Hatching. Still, waking up at one moment or another for one thing or another... Ah. Not too much of a difference! He stumbled slowly out amongst the others, heading for the Sands. And onto the Sands, where he blinked at the Katilans and the other Candidates.
Was that Jada in a nightgown? Well, at least she wouldn't be dripping with sweat if it took a while. Still. It wasn't exactly fancy dress. A little disappointing, considering that this was a big event! Oh well. It wasn't like she was naked- which would have been a sight to see. Huh. Look at that- S'kef and his little princess. And over there- I'shan! And so many others, all come to examine the poor suckers who were on the Sands.
Of which Farlint was not one. He was here willingly. Probably could have gotten out of it, if he had wanted to, or tried. But he hadn't wanted to be a little invalid again. Hadn't wanted to be the person everyone rather... pitied. He was strong enough to do this physically. And if he got left on the Sands? Well, he had his place here, with the herdbeast. It was a win/win situation.
