Tears glittered in her eyes as she watched Quin—N’lis—lead his new blue off of the sands. He had been through so much, a dragon was much deserved, and welcomed, by the sight of the tears streaming down the young man’s own face. A small lull allowed everyone to breathe and take in what had happened, and in the quiet moment Aederyn found herself looking to the stands again. Before she found her brother once more though, a burst of movement caught her attention, and she watched with joy again as another little green made her appearance.
A vocal thing, she wandered over to a cluster of a few other candidates, and the redhead couldn’t help but laugh at she swore the thing was showing off. Another quiet blue took his new life mate by surprise, and though she wasn’t sure entirely of Yanth’s personality, it seemed the boys were taking after the reserved brown—except for the one angry brown—and the ladies after their mother. Mentally ticking off the number of eggs, Aederyn watched the dwindling number shrink even more. Well…maybe next clutch. With a sigh, she gazed longingly after the pair, taking in the growing number of new matches.
Eggshell splintered and finally shattered, letting another green tumble out, wings wild, the poor thing caught all up in them, sending her sprawling. Aederyn watched the silly girl making her way across the sands, a half smile playing across her lips as she watched the green look over the group of candidates not far away. The green chirped, made a few shaky steps toward the group, and before she could lock eyes with anyone she tripped over her own wings again. Aederyn attempted to jump out of the way, knowing the damage those claws could do and not wanting to tangle the hatchling further, but it was too late and she was knocked off her feet, the both of them landing an an undignified heap.
“Go, shoo! You need to find your person, you silly thing!” Aederyn tried to extricate herself from the pile, her robe catching on a wingtip.
Excuse you, I meant to do that. The green took in the mess the two were in and decided it was more than she wanted to deal with, chirping for assistance from whoever else might be close by. Now, please, help me up? I’m hungry. And sore.
It took a full four seconds of staring at the green to realize it. This dragon, this beautiful little green, was hers! “Oh! Of course!” With a start, she leapt to her feet, helping the still egg-wet little green, Jenath, to her feet once more. Bewildered, stunned, and absolutely overjoyed, the redhead lightly gripped the dragonet’s wingtips to hold them up out of the way and off the sands, and the two made their way off to the side of the grounds.
