The rain and warm weather put Ravana in unaccountably good spirits. Good enough that she was currently rough housing with Terken, Kela, Stubborn, Shanith and Indrith...and winning by virtue of threatening to sneeze on the weyrling when it looked like he'd win the impromptu game of freezetag. Berani watched from the relatively dry safety of the porch, fascinated by the sight of her normally staid mother playing like a child but not fascinated enough to join in. When Indrith and Shanith were involved, it meant that a toddler could get squished.
It meant she heard the humming first. Both dragons paused, then she heard Shanith call,Hatching, hatching, hatching! Ravana let out a joyful squeal, whooped, whirled T'ken around in an inpromptu dance of celebration, then darted to the porch. Realizing she was about to be scooped up and hugged by her soaking wet and muddy mother, Berani scooted inside and under the table.
Quickly enough a babysitter was found and Ravana was bundled off with T'ken to the Hatching. The greenrider hadn't even had time to change, had barely taken time to wipe the worst of the mud off her and dart back out into the rain. Deciding there was nothing she could do for her looks, the greenrider just about bounced as she walked with T'ken to the sands.
She darted ahead, found herself starting to skid, and managed a slide of a good eight feet before she lost her balance, and slid a good part of the way to the sands on her rump. Laughing, Ravana picked herself up and bounced her way to T'ken, grinning up at him. She ignored his rolled eyes and proceeded onto the hatching grounds with something like dignity. If you turned your head sideways and squinted.
Ravana picked a spot and settled down, sneezing twice as she did. T'ken sighed and settled beside her. "You should calm down a bit, you might cause people to worry about your mental health."
"Nah, I've always been eccentric. This will be noted as simply more of that." T'ken was hugged, Ravana offering her foster son a smile. "Besides, everyone acts goofy around hatchings."
The young man arched an eyebrow. "You were acting goofy before the hatching."
"Dragon induced. Shanith's poking around in my emotions. And I should care about it more than I do at present." T'ken sighed then settled to sit with her, using his dragon as a seat.
"I'll stay here then so you don't do anything stupid." When she stuck her tongue out at him, he laughed and leaned agaisnt Indrith who was kind enough to extend a wing over his head to keep him somewhat dry.
