“Oh no, hey, it’s alright…” He said in a hushed whisper, trying to will some sense of warmth into the mind within. He hadn’t meant to make the creature sad! He tried to imagine all the good things out on Pern to look forward to: like making friends by the cool Weyr lake, learning all sorts of interesting things, and being able to see the beautiful sunsets…from the sky! There was so much to do! So much to learn! And, he supposed, as terrible as the bad was, it made him appreciate the good things just that much more. Taydarell cast a look toward the entrance and all that waited beyond it. He tried one more time to give the little dragonet inside that shell the feeling of wonder that came with being in such a big wide world, no matter how scary and sad it could be sometimes.
The mind had already withdrawn, though, so he could only hope that the creature felt some of the warmth he’d tried to give. Maybe it would have better luck with the next candidate.
With a sigh, he let his hand slip from the shell and moved among the clutch, meandering around the other candidates before settling on another egg. With a sigh, and a mind toward all that could be done and all that he looked forward to, he spread both hands wide and placed them on the shell.
“How about you, huh? Anything you’d like to say?”
Egg 7
