Mylorah wasn't exactly subdued but she also wasn't as bouncy and carefree as usual. She walked alongside Sironar and Chironhes and still smiled and was chipper but Touchings were slowly moving down the list of favourite things. She still remembered Thallyath's first clutch and the vivid nightmares the one egg brought to her but it was the overall overwhelming emotions so many eggs brought out that were starting to exhaust her. They made her question herself and a lot around her or find a memory she didn't want surfacing. Why couldn't they just see how much fun she had and that they would have that soon enough as well?
Maybe it was just the fear of never Impressing making her grumpy and doubting everything. She still had years before she was deemed too old to Stand and K'dar was only slightly younger than she currently was when he Impressed so it wasn't a lost cause no matter how it looked. Casa and T'ryn Impressed around twelve and thirteen and A'tay was early teens as well. So many of her friends had also Impressed in their teens and while she was always happy for them, it did leave her wondering if she was meant to be a dragonrider. She wasn't meant to be a Lady of Tillek either so maybe she had better start working on her cooking for her fate in the kitchens.
But her own way of feeling toward Touchings didn't matter at that moment. It was Chironhes' first one! That was exciting and she could see how nervous he was getting as they got closer to the Sands. She couldn't, wouldn't, promise it would be fine but instead told him about some of the nicer eggs she'd met over the years before giving him a kiss on the cheek for good luck. She gave Sironar the same kiss and smiled when he returned the gesture before they parted ways.
Well. She might as well get it over with, she decided as the gold egg came into view. The women had to Touch it and Mylorah found it was best to get it over with and then meander around the others for a bit--now that she was allowed to do so at all of the Weyrs. Somehow she beat the other girls in her group to the egg and with a deep inhale and slow exhale, she finally set her palm against the shell.
