[G] [C] 734.07.29 | Circle of Life [Hatching]

Having been woken by her son's giggles and tickles, and K'ton's pestering was about as good a way as any for Vee to be woke up. She could happily go through life being woken in the same manner every day, though she knew things didn't quite work that way. However, the mischief of her friend and son was more than enough to put her in such a mood that it hadn't taken the brownrider half so long to talk her into getting herself into her white robes, though all she wanted to do, was go back to sleep. She could hear the humming of the dragons, once she was more awake than asleep of course, and though she would rather avoid the disappointment once again she allowed herself to be dragged along once ready, whining and complaining about lack of sleep all the way, and couldn't the eggs hatch when the sun was up?

Evritt had squealed and laughed almost all the way to the creche as K'ton carried him on his shoulders. The two of them made her roll her eyes and shake her head more often then not, but they melted her heart as always. After several hugs, tickles, and kisses to chubby little cheeks Vee left her son in the care of those tending the other creche children and begrudgingly let herself be poked, prodded, and convinced that she needed to be on the sands. She had of course done everything in her power to delay the inevitable as long as K'ton would allow her too. She even paused several times, protesting the braid her hair was in wasn't tight enough. It only worked for her once, until he realized what she was up to, but it was amusing to make his eyes cross with irritation anyway. His dragging her along with him wasn't quite as amusing though. She did quit dragging her feet the closer they got to the hatching grounds, and especially so when she saw how B'jin was behaving. Even she knew better than to mess with him in a foul mood.

Once inside however, she shot K'ton a glare that spoke volumes before hurriedly parting from him and making her way to the other gold candidates. Quickly, lest she upset the apparently already cranky B'jin, she found a place among them in the semi circle they always found themselves standing in. It often made Vee feel badly for the dragon inside her shell, breaking free to be stared at and surrounded by so many expectant young women.

While they waited, yawning occasionally as they did, she let her eyes wander around the heated sands. She saw many faces she was familiar with, plenty she didn't know the names that matched, not that it mattered she would figure that out eventually. Everyone really knew everyone after a while. She spotted, after taking a slight step back from her spot, Leyton, K'ton's son standing with the other young men and boys. She hoped he would Impress, maybe a brown like his father. That would make her friend happy she was certain. Stepping back into place she turned her dark eyes on the egg that would hatch and change the life of one of the young women standing there. Waiting was always the hard part. She covered her mouth to stifle a yawn and blinked the tiredness from her eyes the best she could. It was possibly going to be a long night.

Luckily, her thoughts were somewhat wrong, and it wasn't long before eggs were shaking and cracking. As the gold wasn't making herself known just yet, she watched as several of the other eggs cracked and rocked around, breaking open finally. The first from his shell was a rather nice looking brown. He was followed by a bronze and green. Vee watched with a light heart and a smile as each of the first seven eggs hatched and made their bonds with the young men waiting. She gave a sigh and stood, watching, and waiting for more excitement and hatchings.
