He was shifting from foot to foot when the eggs finally started to actually start hatching. His head was still throbbing, dull now but the pain was there just behind his eyes. How idiotic would it be to have to leave the hatching because he was stupid and didn't drink enough or eat enough? He didn't think he was getting sick and he definitely wasn't ill like other people had been, like Benden's weyrwoman.
Fuck that was awful...
His interest and attention was caught when an earthy brown broke shell, he wouldn't mind impressing brown. They weren't all that bad no matter how some people felt about them. He'd heard the stories about S'kef so he supposed he could understand some other their disgust with the color but did the rider make the dragon or did the dragon make the rider? Landen didn't know how to answer those questions so he watched the hatching instead. He snorted when the gold hatched next and immediately started to make a fuss and playing with pieces of her shell. A chip off the old block, he thought to himself.
A green and a blue next, the brown impressing before being followed closely by the blue and green. He yawned as he continued to wait for the rest to break shell. The gold finally made her impression, after what seemed to be forever and Landen chuckled when she took the shell she'd been playing with along with her. Another hatched and like most, couldn't tell if they were a green or a blue. He squinted at their coloring, chuckling softly as the dragonet grabbed the long tail trailing behind them in their mouth and marched along to come to a stop right in front of him.
L'den, the blue said, for he was definitely a blue, What's a headache and why do you have a headache? Maybe you should get someone for it or something right? But maybe you should feed me first or maybe second. But I am hungry like nothing else ever.
"I suppose that would be the best thing, Ziggy," he told the dragonet as he glanced around for a way out.Ziggy... Hmm... Maybe... Yes. Ziggy is good enough, L'den
"That's a relief," he murmured and led the blue away.
