K'dar had been watching but hadn't really paid attention as he'd stared blankly at the hatching. I hope you pay a bit more attention when our clutch hatches He could vaguely feel Tiberuth's concern as the dragon tried to tease him, but his heart wasn't really in it. And then felt a gentle nudge as Tiberuth bid him to focus on the gold as it started to move towards a group dragging its shell as if it were a security blanket or favored toy. And then Mylorah started to move and his attention focused as he leaned forward, his heart suddenly pounding as he watched his sister.
And then there were tears and she was helping the gold towards the sides. Before K'dar could even think he was up and out of his seat and heading towards the sidelines where his sister was feeding the little dragon, her bonded, and he pulled her into a hug. "I'm so happy for you, Mylo, I'm so-" the words choked in his throat, stilted and harsh, as his grip on her tightened and he began to shake and sob. For one brief glorious moment he was happy again and did he actually deserve that when he hadn't felt anything when Wes died? Only he was feeling it all now in a solid rush as he clung to his sister and sobbed.
Tiberuth was on the move, walking towards the Sands to be as close as possible to offer his rider comfort once he was done with his sister. In the meantime K'dar just shook and sobbed stayed for as long as he dared as Mylorah held him. Was she crying to? He hoped not, he hoped it wasn't for him, but he coudn't stop himself either way until he finally took a long shaky breath and rubbed his face on his sleeve. "I'm sorry I... I'm going to go. Tell the others that I wish them the best for me and I'm sorry I can't be here for them too but I should probably be somewhere quiet at least..."
Even if that quiet was just outside the Sands curled up with his dragon. Tiberuth settled down as K'dar climbed up onto his forelegs to tuck himself against the dragon's chest and neck. He would get updates from Xyxyth about the hatching and keep sharing them with K'dar as things progressed.
