I'shan responded to B'jin's indignation with a wholesome smile. "You know I'd never hurt you, sweet cheeks!" he purred, giving the greenrider an affectionate shove. B'jin was delicate and got frazzled easily, but I'shan was certain he'd lighten up and feel better soon. It was hatching day! And just think, some of B'jin's own would probably Impress soon! Maybe even the healer boy that B'jin was so fond of and worried about! A nice dragon would fix everything, right?
I'shan beamed. "Good luck to your kids!" he purred before his attention was seized by D'hys. I'shan laughed and ran over, stretching one hand to shake with his fellow bluerider. "We're in for a good show, yeah? Yeah?" he said, bouncing on the balls of his feet.
Before long, the eggs were cracking. The bluerider watched with joy as the eggs began to split and the babies toppled out onto the sand. Oh, it seemed like only yesterday his little blue had come to him! His eyes sparkled with delight, an expression that only intensified as the second egg produced a brown. It wasn't the color that overjoyed I'shan, though...it was his choice in bonded.
"That's one of mine!" I'shan screamed, pointing triumphantly. "That's one of mine! I searched him! I searched a brownrider!" he cried, barely able to estrain himself from bouncing all over. Thus far, Ilveriath seemed to have searched only greens and blues. It was a fine day indeed!
I'shan squealed again when Seijin met his little green. "Knew it!" I'shan cried, pumping one fist in the air. "I called it! I knew he would be a greenrider!" I'shan said, obviously beside himself. He was so excited, fed partially by his own memories of his Impression but also by a deep desire to see the Weyr happy again. New babies always helped, and the fact that some of I'shan's own candidates were Impressing made him even happier. "Way to go, Seijin!"
Ilveriath called the second new brownrider to I'shan's attention. I'shan's eyes widened when he realized that he'd searched that one as well. He squeaked and threw his arms around D'hys. "Another one! Hahahaha, A'liran owes me some money!" he said, devilish expression crossing his face.
I'shan peeled himself from D'hys to run over and greet the newly Impressed, though he had every intention of running right back. He held up one finger to indicate 'one minute' and charged over. "Congratulations!" he said, his words emphasized by Squee's joyous chittering. Squee took off from I'shan's shoulder and flew over to Araith, attempting to land square on her head. Green!
I'shan giggled. "Look at that! You'll be a great greenrider," he purred. He looked impishly back at D'hys. He wondered how long before A'liran showed up pitching a fit! 'Get away from that kid', blah blah blah...such a blowhard!
