Casa laughed as O'wain eagerly counted the little eggs, all but vibrating in excitement. Really, it was pretty much the most adorable thing a grown man had ever done in the history of grown men doing cute things. At least she thought so. She'd never seen someone so excited before, but she supposed firelizard eggs really were something to get all worked up about.
She watched as he carefully ran back for the jars, scooping them full of sand to the halfway mark and carefully carrying them back. She gladly took two of the jars, setting them down and uncovering the eggs the rest of the way.
She gingerly cradled her fingers under the egg, carefully lifting it up and setting it just so in the warm beach sand. It was almost soft still - it would need a little time to harden up. She repeated the process for the other one, eyeing them cautiously.
"Let's put enough to pack them on the sides of the egg, and some to cover the top. If we can fly home instead of go sideways, then we'll be fine." She wondered if he'd understand what she'd said; some riders used the term "stepping sideways" for between, others didn't. She topped her two with sand, showing him what she meant.
"And as for taking any..." She glanced slyly at her three, shaking her head. "If I can have these two for a friend, I think that would be lovely. But I already have mine! If you want all of them, then that is just fine by me. I seem to have some luck at finding the little eggs." She chuckled and sighed contently.
"Does this mean lunch and swimming now?!"
