Cazan wanted to go congratulate Chir when she realized he'd Impressed the very striking bronze, but she had some other things to deal with first. Malvayth nodded in agreement. There were more babies left after all!
With the tension winding down from the prior little tiff between brothers,Green 7 seemed to feel safe enough to stick her head out of her shell and let out an angry, hungry cry before running immediately over to her boy. She almost knocked him down with her insistent nudges, but finally seemed to settle as he started to lead her towards food. Meanwhile Green 8 had popped out of her shell and scurried off towards a healer stand, immediately stretching up to drink some of the water from the top of a barrel. Bronze 3 made his appearance then, taking his time to languidly stretch before turning around and surveying his surroundings with a discerning eye only to be interrupted as his brother, Brown 3 , hatched and hissed at him only to be ignored. He gave a startled jump as Green 9 burst out of her shell, immediately flopping onto the sand to squirm and roll and flail around in it.
Suddenly there was a shrill frightened series of chirps asGreen 8 tried to climb into the barrel only to have it tip over and send her tumbling down with water spilling everywhere. She let out a petulant cry as she pawed at the wet sand, then turned to the healer to scold him before lifting her nose to the air and marching off to complain to her boy. While that was happening, Bronze 3 seemed to have come to some sort of decision and began to move. He was headed straight towards a large group of candidates who seemed eager to find out which of them he had chosen, only he paused to glare in annoyance at a few candidates until they stepped out of his way so he could keep moving without deviating from his path. Cazan frowned and quietly asked herself, “Where is he going?”
Once he’d gotten the last candidate in the group to step out of the way it became increasingly obvious that he was headed straight towards the exit.Brown 3 , taking advantage of the distraction his brother was causing, circled around to stealthily approach his chosen boy from behind, gently nudging his mate and urging him to feed him. Green 9 lifted her head and suddenly realized her brothers had abandoned her and she was all alone with only two remaining eggs for company. With an embarrassed squeak she hopped up onto her feet and headed off to find her boy in the crowd that her brother had just walked through, nudging her bonded before flopping right back into the sand to squirm and dig and play a little more.
Cazan turned to A’tay and quietly whispered, “Should someone see where that bronze went?”To his mate, obviously, said Malvayth with a huff. And there are still two eggs so we can’t leave. Caz sighed and turned, spotting T’ryn and raising an eyebrow as she gave a subtle nod of her head in the direction that Bronze 3 had headed in.
