Nyvian couldn't believe it! Eight out of nine eggs had been green. He stole a glance over to Krypth, silently wondering how in Faranth's name this had happened. If she hadn't laid a Gold egg, the entire clutch would have been a disappointment. Her first clutch had been promising, but either she was losing her touch prematurely or Saquith was never meant to sire dragonets. As much as S'kef bothered him at times, it was clear that Tyrrisath was a better father than N'gelt's dragon. He shook his head, and silently hoped the next clutch would fair better.
Of course, putting the blame on Krypth distracted him from the fact that while all the dragonets had been Green, he hadn't Impressed. Even Ryvian stood without a dragonet, and that hurt too. While he'd hate to be without his twin, he hated it even more that they had stood for yet another clutch and had won over no dragonets. Shells, he had good feelings about this clutch from the Touching. He had been convinced that this was his time to Impress! Nyvian tried not to look disappointed, not with his twin standing right beside him. He didn't want Ryvian to know that he was desperate enough to want a Green. He'd take any dragonet that would have him. "You said that last time," Nyvian teased his twin, masking his disappointment. Ryvian was a little more outgoing than him, but Nyvian was well known for being happy and a bit of a partier. Shells, the twins had similar personas, so much so that no one could really tell them apart.
There was an explosion of flitters around Ryvian, and Nyvian suspected before his twin turned to talk to him that Ryvian was going to take off. He flashed Ryvian a confident smile that he didn't quite know how he pulled the expression off. "I know you're not. You know better than to." While he wanted Ryvian's comfort, he certainly didn't need it. He'd let his twin go to comfort whatever distress Indivara had further caused herself. "Yeah, yeah, once I pry everyone else away from him," he answered in good humor, expecting Ryvian to take off at that point.
But, his twin didn't, and his next comment made Nyvian's smile falter momentarily. At this rate, he didn't think he was destined for any dragonet at all. He knew Ryvian was being upbeat for the both of them, and shells, Nyvian was trying to be too! But, it was hard. Hatchings always seemed to take the younger twin hard. He could accept sucking at anything else, but he really wanted to sharding Impress. All these Stolen Candidates were faring better than him! Nyvian shook off an impending bad mood, instead strutting across the Sands to be sharding happy for someone else. Kerrin had Impressed, and he intended to give the man congratulations twofold for the twin that had flaked off after Indivara!
