He beamed proudly as Isscer came over to inspect his finding. He felt as if he'd discovered a chest of pirate gold treasure. But then again, pirates wouldn't share treasures, pirates would secretly hoard them. So if it was pirate treasure, Oahvakeen was the worst pirate ever. But it was just an egg.
His eyes widened at Isscer's disbelief, as if Isccer's comment made everything dangerous, secretive, and elusive.
"Oh, okay.", he consented to Isscer's suggestion. He plopped his butt onto the sand to sit for better posture, and instantly regretted it. He jerked upright, and rocked onto his feet, so his special heat-resistant shoes would prevent him from getting hurt. He wasn't scalded, but it didn't feel good. He bent over the egg, gently pulling. The egg started to give way as they worked at it.
"Really?", his eyes were getting bigger again at Isccer's comment about gold firelizards. If he could impress a gold, he could find a weyrmate to accompany him all those lonely nights. Maybe a lady like Kathleena. Or Rhaedalyn, who seemed just as apt to eat him alive as to consent to any suggestion of his.
When they'd dug out the egg, Oahvakeen helped Isscer to guide it onto the surface of the sand. "It's too big to be a firelizard egg. It looks like a smaller dragon egg. You know how some human babies don't get born right? Well maybe that's what this is? And some dragon who clutched it is trying to hide that they had a bad egg?"
He reached out to touch the egg. Nothing happened.
"I bet it's dead. Do you want to keep it? Maybe make a dragon omelette? "
