R'ana grumbled as she was woken up by an insistent Shanith. She dove under the covers and hid from her dragons insistence that she wake, now! What on earth was it with Krypth's timing?! She sighed and grabbed a robe, belting it around her and raking a brush through her hair, and grabbing a blanket, a basket of meat rolls, a flask of tea, and lastly, a string of beads.
Where's Terken? Shanith left off her joyous croonchirphumming and replied,Camping! R'ana shook her head. Get him. I don't care if you have to swoop and snatch, get him! Shanith took off to do just that, recruiting another green to grab Kela, and presently sending R'ana an image of the hatching grounds and Terken swearing a blue streak as the green literally restrained him from running off by shoving him to the ground and placing a paw on his chest.
Shaking her head, R'ana headed for the hatching grounds, barefoot and in her robe. She kerplopped next to Shanith when she arrived, growling at Terken's cussing her now. "You promised. You're attending this, even if I have to tie you to something myself." She scowled at him and added, "Now do I have to tie you down, or are you going to do this with a trace of dignity?"
She watched Terken consider it and sipped her tea, watching the eggs rock. R'ana normally would have been more patient with the young man, but this early in the morning the only thing she wanted was more sleep!
By the time the eggs stopped rocking, Terken had decided to behave, though Shanith lay stretched out between him and the nearest exit. R'ana knew he would have to risk bolting across the grounds themselves, coming dangerously close to eggs in the process. He wasn't stupid enough to try it. She hoped.
As R'ana's head cleared, she looked around for B'run and Olemuth. Terken tried twice to convince her the eggs would hatch another day, but R'ana ignored them. If they weren't ready to hatch today, Krypth would have shooed candidates away. As he got more and more agitated, R'ana was torn between yelling that Krypth should tell her babies to hurry up, swatting him upside the back of the head, and telling him he could just leave.
When he saw her looking around, he tried to change the subject, recognizing her dwindling patience. "So...I hear that bronzer and you are sleeping together?" When she glared at him, he fell silent and decided that for now, the eggs were less scary than a woman woken from a needed sleep, hurting and in general in a bad mood.
He apologized a moment later, and R'ana sighed then grabbed a stick. She beckoned Terken over and began drawing, talking to him about proposed additions to her hut, namely a workroom, and perhaps a bedroom for Berani. He listened to her talk, startled by the way she was talking of enlarging her cooking space if she was going to keep cooking for him and start cooking for B'run as well.
Terken relaxed at the normal talk, relaxing more as R'ana nudged the conversation to his dogs. He began to talk about his plans for Kela and her litter, as well as his work in training tunnelsnake hunters, deciding he wasn't offended when R'ana dozed off on him. Sighing, he just covered her with the blanket, and settled to watch the perfectly still eggs.
I'm glad you've decided to stay put.
"I promised."
