Unlike some of her female friends, Dareji had no issues with Fort's rules about women needing to attend Healer Hall. She didn't find she was squeamish over blood, she didn't mind learning, and she definitely wanted to help out however she could so it seemed like a good fit. She had yet to transfer to Fort full-time and actually get herself enrolled at the Hall through R'nya's program but she would soon. Everyone was so busy with the Benden move that was happening in about a fortnight that Dareji hadn't wanted to add to the stress or get her request lost in the shuffle. She could wait a bit longer, which also gave her a bit more time to really think on what she wanted. Besides, this very Hatching could make the decision for her if she found her lifemate that night.
That made her smile. Her father was a beloved bluerider, her brother was a popular bluerider that had Impressed at fourteen, and she wanted to continue the legacy. She hoped for a blue as well but any colour would do. At any time now as well. She sometimes had doubts about if she was meant to Impress as it hadn't happened as quickly as it had for the men in her family but she did her best to think positively and that it meant the perfect dragon just hadn't come along yet. Maybe, she now added, it was waiting for her to be a mini-Healer. She'd find out after tonight!
Dressed in the awful robe with her hair pulled back, Dareji made her way to the Hatching Ground, smiling as she entered and the warmth of the cavern and humming washed over her. No matter how many awful things she had witnessed on the Sands, she always felt welcomed and even at peace. Doubts and fears would always linger but they weren't as strong when she let herself get caught up in the excitement of the wobbling eggs and become enchanted by the humming of dragons. Is that why they actually did that? She gave the ledges a look of contemplation as she moved across the Sands. She appreciated it if that was the reason, she decided, before scanning the growing crowd. She saw her father and smiled and waved at the man and then spotted R'dare and R'dal settling in with some other friends. They also received a greeting. She felt loved to have everyone's continued support and their belief in her.
