R'ana's irritability aside, this whole hatching thing wasn't half bad. Well, he could have done without being held to the sands for hours on end, but even Terken admitted that if he left he wouldn't find the courage to come back. When R'ana fell asleep, he blanketed her then settled to stand guard over her. Well, more like sit guard, but with Shanith hissing at him every time he shifted like he would move to leave, he wasn't going anywhere.
At least this way, he could pretend he wasn't being held hostage by his foster mother's dragon. As she dozed on, he daydreamed, fidgeting at the lack of activity and wishing someone would stop by and talk to him!
As he began to debate trying to get past Shanith, there was a lot of noise and when he jerked his attention to the hatching grounds, he saw a green dragonet impress! The gold bellowed and Terken leaned forward, wondering what he was supposed to see here today that would ease his mind about standing.
He heard a yelp as Shanith woke R'ana, and felt her scramble to sit up next to him and watch. More importantly, he saw his friend Farren stnading for the clutch and hoped that a nice dragon would find her, since she did want one so bad. He didn't see why, but he did hope she impressed. When an egg sprouted legs, and had to be helped out of its shell, a grin touched his lips in amusement.
The gold egg, he had been told it was the one surrounded by women, hatched next, and he almost missed the danger until it was too late. The green was headed right for him. He froze, praying she'd change her mind when she changed direction. There, a group of women! Pick them! She didn't though, still beelining straight for him. Terken scrambled straight back and shoved R'ana into the hatchling's way, hiding behind the nearest large object. Shanith.
There was silence then Shanith told him, cooly,She Impressed. To the ones sitting right behind us. You can stop cowering now. Terken looked up to meet a pair of brown eyes that were torn between fury, shock and amusement. "Um...Sorry?" He looked down, instantly ashamed of pitching her in front of the hatchling. R'ana was visibly counting and Terken wondered if he wouldn't spend the rest of the day hiding after this.
The prides of wild felines and the wild wher's were scary. They weren't as scary as an upset woman though! Maybe if he made a run for it now, things would be okay? He debated, unaware of Shanith setting up to stop him by wrapping tail around his leg.Look, the gold hatched! Ooh! Rhaedalyn Impressed! Look R'ana, she's as clumsy as you! Terken, you're staying for the rest of this, R'ana says. He saw R'ana visibly put aside yelling at him for later, and settle herself with all the regal dignity of an offended feline. Nervous about more than eggs impressing to him now, he turned his attention to the sands.
