Rhaedalyn was anxious to check on Quinvalis as well but she knew more bodies over there would just mean more in the way. He had his mother and some friends, it seemed, so he would be taken care of. Besides, the injury didn't pause the Hatching as another egg gave way to reveal Blue09 that gave a startled cry as he tumbled out. He shook himself off a moment later and trotted around the sands as if greeting everyone before finally going to a boy that looked impatient and wanted to get a move on.
Blue10 was hot on his brother's tail as he quietly made his appearance. He didn't need to greet everyone and went directly to his mate, though his speed decreased as some of the Candidates made startled gasps at his enthusiasm.
Rhaedalyn took R'nya's hand when he returned soon after that Impression and kissed his cheek. He had acted quickly to intercept the mother and was a gentleman to help her speak with the Healers and calm her down a bit. She'd expect nothing less of her mate and would tell him all of that later in a private moment.
It was several minutes before Green15 appeared. She was another one that had her mother's grace as she tripped over her wing and went flying into a nearby egg that helped Blue11 break free as he had been struggling. She chirped at her brother in encouragement before scampering off toward a clump of Candidates and Impressing to a very shocked girl. Rhaedalyn smiled, pleased and gave R’nya a look that said ‘I told you this would be a good idea’ even though she knew the pair would have bonded even if they hadn’t given permission for the girls to Stand for the fighters. This just made R’nya look like a ‘cool Weyrleader’ like M’ris.
As some of the other girls gave their congratulations and looked even more hopeful now, Blue11 finally found his footing and followed his sister’s trail to the same group, though he Impressed to a boy.
Green16 didn’t want to be left out of the fun and sent her egg rocking this way and that as she struggled with a hole to get out of. When she finally did, she trotted over to her mate and he helped remove the little shell hat she still wore. It was rather cute and hoped they would remember that moment fondly.
Blue12 seemed to channel a brown brother of his of earlier as he burst out of his shell with more force that was probably intended. A couple of kids that were a bit too close stumbled back as some bits of shell almost reached their feet. That seemed to be all they were getting from him, though, as he took off in the other direction to find his mate where he happily did a couple of laps around the boy before they wandered off together.
Another few minutes passed but Rhaedalyn didn’t worry. Aradissicath’s babies were usually quick given their size but she still had some lulls here and there. But when another egg finally revealed its contents, Rhaedalyn gasped in surprise. It was the other gold egg and she had to be honest when she said she was happy to see it hatch. Having two in the clutch worried her and had her believing one wouldn’t make it. She had never been happier to be proven wrong!
Gold02 emerged in all her pudgy glory. Rhaedalyn had thought some of the other babies had been pudgy but this girl took the cake. She was round but precious and would be lovely to curl up with, of that she had no doubts. But who would she Impress to?
She headed to the largest group of girls but stopped several feet from them and tilted her head in confusion. Rhaedalyn didn’t panic, yet. That wasn’t all of the girls, it didn’t mean anything. But the gold looked at another group nearby and seemed just as confused as before. Finally, she got up again, turned around and…
Headed towards the stands where she stopped at the small wall that separated the sands from the seats. She gave a soft mewl at a group that Rhaedalyn knew were dragonriders and some visiting lords. Who was the gold calling out for? Oh, please let her bonded be there somewhere! Rhaedalyn didn’t want to lose another one that day.

It took a bit for Cazan to really settle down about after all the commotion, she kept drumming her fingers on her knees, accidentally drumming on T'ryn's leg, eventually switching to just crossing her arms and trying to tuck her hands away to keep them still. The eggs kept hatching though, and things seemed to be going well again. Even with a few more bold babies moving a bit too enthusiastically she was able to shift her mindset back to awkward baby foals rather than accidental murder beasts with all their antics. Especially when the latest little blue dragon ran a few laps around his new boy.
"Hey, how long-oh!" She started to ask T'ryn a question when the second gold egg finally hatched and instead she gave him a nudge and gestured towards the baby. Maybe this one would be the one to pick Katiryn and then she could go back to her little workshop and get some sort of gift made for friend. But then the little gold couldn't seem to make up her mind, first one group, then another, and then she looked her way and Cazan stopped breathing for a moment as she stared.
Oh I fooound you! The soft and delicate voice echoed in her head as the little dragon began to scurry her way. "What?" Cazan whispered the question, in her mind reeling, unable to really comprehend what was going on. There were so many emotions, and part of her wanted to just bolt from the stands, especially as soon as the little thing tried to climb the barrier separating them. But why are you there? I found you!
How in the world was she supposed to reach her person now? Malvayth gave another little chirp, frustrated. Why was her rider so confused? Why was everyone so confused? And now Cazan was scared? Some people were starting to whisper, someone was calling her fat! "Hey you're not fat," why were those words coming out of her mouth? Why was she trying to reassure the little dragon? Why did she know it was becoming upset? Cazan was beginning to panic, people were starting to look, and all she could think was oh fuck go away, everyone's staring they'll know!
Malvayth hunched on herself in confused irritation, why would her rider tell her to go away?! It was all of those people! How dare they! Stop staring! She shrieked in protest for the whole Weyr to hear, voice scratching like nails on a chalkboard in her petulance. The sound and the sudden emotion sent Cazan curling up and clutching her head. The little dragon tried to claw back over the barrier again and was about to let out another enraged screech when her rider finally came over, crawling over the barrier to desperately hug the baby dragon. "Okay, okay I'm sorry please stop, please don't do that again it will be okay."
But that was only making everyone stare at her more and she looked up, still so many emotions running through her head, not all of them even her own anymore and stared up at T'ryn in a panic. "Help..."

T’ryn was still recovering from everything that had been thrown at them in the last little while when the second gold appeared. She was adorable with how fat she was and he really hoped she Impressed to one of his sisters. But the gold seemed to have other plans in mind and left all the girls behind to come towards them.
Oh no.
Please don’t come here, please don’t come here… she came there.
T’ryn looked at Cazan when the golden baby seemed to be talking to her and yup, Cazan seemed to have Impressed the gold and the baby wasn’t too pleased about being kept from her. He winced at the shrieking but had no idea what to do. Did he try to calm the dragon or the girl? Cazan did not seem to be having a good time and he didn’t blame her. She hadn’t signed up for a chance at a dragon, just to watch friends try for one. Surprise!
And then she was scrambling over the edge and trying to comfort the dragon. T’ryn relaxed only marginally as the pair united but as soon as Cazan looked up at him and asked for help, he knew he had to do something other than smile and congratulate them. No doubt she was worried about her cover being blown and he had to help her out and keep her secret and reputation intact. So he blurted out the first thing that sounded logical enough that came to mind.
"She wanted to come but didn't think it would look right for a Lady to come alone so she dressed as her brother to cause less of a scene!” He hoped he sounded convincing. Lying wasn’t really one of his strong suits and normally he would have been proud of that fact but now he needed that skill. He also realised the irony in the lie since dressing as her brother had now caused a larger scene than it would have if she’d been dressed as a woman. Of course the round screeching baby wasn’t helping anything either.
“It’s okay, Caz,” he whispered as he leaned over the edge and held out a hand for her to hold. “I’ll help you however I can, okay? Just let me know. But you have to focus on your dragon now and an assistant is coming over to help you. I’ll see you soon, I promise.” He offered her a smile but inside he was wondering how to fix everything and help her like he promised.

There was a lot happening. Fetch was still trying to go through the earthquake in his head. He'd helped the smaller and younger candidates keep their footing while the ground shook, tried to help steer them away from any panicked dragons. He thought he was doing a good job too until someone else, a candidate who was old enough he didn't think he would have to watch for, went down under a frightened blue. He was bleeding, but from what he was able to see (thanks to his height) the healers were working to help him instead of just covering him up and hiding him, so hopefully he would be fine. He quietly reassured some of the more frightened candidates, his voice the same steady calm that he'd found always helped when his younger siblings were scared. "The healers have him. I'm sure they will be able to help. I think the shaking is done now, I won't let anything fall on you."
Fediletch was even more distressed about the three babies that had gone between in their panic, he didn't even know how he could have helped them. He'd seen that two of the eggs he had touched hatched during the quake, and he hoped they hadn't been the ones to go. With all the chaos he hadn't gotten that clear of a look. Some of the other candidates were still frightened; with his own nerves rattled by the deaths he struggled to try and think of a way to help. And then he remembered the moment of tranquility he'd experienced during the touching and quietly walked them through how to breathe. In and out, just like the egg had showed him. It felt silly, but everyone had mostly settled down by the time the a few more dragons had hatched. He was happy to see the same egg that had helped him hatched and found her person. He would try to check up on the little green later and see if it remembered him at all. And even if it didn't, he could still say hi and maybe try to be friends.
This time when the gold appeared he kept an eye on it, but much to his relief it didn't look like it was moving fast enough to do anything. It did seem confused though and Fetch watched as it made its way to the stands and started trying to climb up the little barrier. It screeched and he wondered if he should go help give it a boost when a man climbed over the wall and gave it a hug. But... that didn't make sense. Mostly to himself he said, "I thought golds picked girls?"

Katiryn still wanted to go home and that didn't change after the fat gold appeared and sat several feet from her and some other girls. They stared at each other and despite not wanting either of the golds in this clutch for being rude bitches, she couldn't help but hope she'd still Impress. But it wasn't meant to be and the gold eventually moved on and to the stands where she started shrieking at Casa, T'ryn, Cazelarias, and Mylorah's lordling.
She frowned, as confused as the hatchling had been a moment before, and watched the scene unfold. She saw it happening and still didn't understand when Caz scrambled over the wall and hugged the gold, trying to soothe her. What? That wasn't how it worked! Not just anyone could soothe an unImpressed dragon and live to tell the tale! And gold certainly didn't Impress to men!
Wait, what did T'ryn just say? He spoke loudly but not loud enough to clearly be heard on her side of the sands but Katiryn swore he said that Caz was a woman. Or a sister? What did he say? She waited for the murmurings of Candidates to reach her and she stared at the little group, trying not to gawk. So that was supposed to be the twin sister in disguise? Damn, Cazelarias wasn't kidding about them being twins! From her distance, she would have sworn it was actually the crafter, especially with the way he had...been... waving... at her...
What the fuck?

Was no one allowed a normal Hatching anymore? Or was this what passed as normal now? M'ris hated the earthquake and how it affected Ameris and others, he hated losing three dragonets during that confusion and the way the older dragons keened for the loss, and he hated seeing another kid get mauled possibly to death. He had seen enough of that on his own sands at Nadioth's maiden clutch and hated seeing it continue on the other sands as well. His heart went out for the woman that was clearly the mother of the boy and hoped, for her sake, he survived.
Then it seemed like things might be calming down and going back to a normal day for Aradissicath but nope! The second gold--a fat thing with a healthy set of lungs on her--didn't like the girls on the sands and came to the stands and started shrieking at a group of his riders and their holder friends like they would know how to fix this. And then one of the holders was hugging the damned thing and T'ryn was saying that the man was actually a woman in disguise and what the fuck was going on!
That seems to be the leatherworker you said could stay for a while. Or maybe the sister of the man with what T'ryn says.
They must have been as identical as the Vian Twins, M'ris decided as he carefully eyed up the girl. Then again, he had been extremely busy and stressed and didn't spend that much time with the crafter when Katiryn brought him by but M'ris was now curious. "What the fuck has been going on in my Weyr?" he grumbled quietly for only Ameris to hear. Casa was with that group so that explained some of the shit that was likely going on. He had seen some improvement in her but M'ris still wondered why they had to go with Blondie to take over what he and Ameris had so carefully built.

Rhaedalyn was still worried about the commotion the latest gold had caused (and wasn't really a fan that both baby golds had made a scene in their own way, knowing how much people loved to gossip) but she didn't have time to go check on it herself or watch any further as the last of the eggs looked ready to debut as well.
Green17 shook herself off and quickly made her way to her mate as Blue13 popped his head out of his egg. He looked around like he just woke up and was taking stock of everything around him. Finally, he nodded as if he approved and knocked the egg over so he could finish crawling out. The struggle was worth it, however, as a boy came forward and crouched down to wait for his mate to come to him and greet him with open arms.
Silence befell the clutch, something that she did mind when it was the last handful of eggs. Duds weren't uncommon, even for Aradissicath, but Rhaedalyn still hated seeing them sitting there, unmoving. These eggs, however, had been as active as the others and still were, which gave her hope despite the bit of downtime.
What happened next, she still wouldn't believe later that night.
Brown04 emerged first and looked startled that he had. He was another sturdy boy and didn't move from the piece of shell he sat on as he watched the remaining four eggs that looked like they were about to explode. And explode they did. Almost simultaneously Green18, Green19, Green20, and Green21 burst onto the scene. They seemed to consider each other for a moment and without communicating—since they all would have heard it—it seemed like they decided the same thing.
Soon a race was on as all four greens scattered in almost every direction as they went searching for their mates. Some girls squealed with delight and possibly fright as one came their way again but ended up bypassing them while a sister came to a screeching stop in front of her mate and fell back on her bum. The other two were a bit calmer in their zooming to their mates but eventually all four were happily with their boys and Brown04 still sat where he was.
Rhaedalyn was worried for a moment until she realised the chubby fellow was amused and seemed to be laughing at the sight of his sisters. She smiled when he looked over to a group of boys and stared one of them down, as if saying ‘wasn’t that great?’ and possibly a ‘why are you still standing there?’ since the hatchling didn’t seem inclined to go to him.

Hatchings always took forever. Hours they could last and this one was no different. Exciting things were happening though, an earthquake and babies betweening. He hated when the dragonets betweened, the keening of the dragons always brought tears to his eyes. It was ridiculously sad and he cleared his throat around the lump that was there. One of the candidates he didn't know well went down beneath a blue and the second gold hatched to impress.. A boy? No, that wasn't right and Dandioar winced at the sudden onslaught of the little gold's voice. The boy was actually a girl and he shrugged. Who was he to judge anyone by what they wore?
Another blue and another green, they were expected. More greens than anything else, he was nodding in approval as they both found their boys. He did chuckle at that decisive nod the blue gave before impressing his boy. Sometimes hatchings were extremely amusing, especially when the dragonets were silly creatures. Suddenly a brown appeared, sitting still and calm in the bottom of his egg and four more greens. One of the greens had come from an egg he'd touched and Dandi was amused that two out of the three had been greens.
He covered his mouth as he laughed when the greens started darting around. They were silly things, but he'd found that the blues and the greens always were at a hatching. The brown had remained where he was and Dandi could feel the curiosity that everyone had. What would happen there? he wondered to himself. The laugh he was containing slipped out when one of the greens slid to a stop for abruptly that she fell on her rear end.
That was funny wasn't it D'io? the little brown looked at him with the twists and turns of impression sliding through Dandioar's - no D'io now - mind. Didn't you think it was funny? the brown chortled as he waited ever so patiently for the boy that was his. D'io's feet moved before he could tell them and he made his way to the chubby little brown. It would appear that all of the babies were fat little beasts and D'io chuckled.
"It was quite funny," he admitted as he came to a stop beside the brown and motioned for him to follow the man to the food buckets. "Are you hungry?" D'io asked as the dragonet started walking beside him.
You know... I think I am
