Hatching day! It was a bit crazy to Kelian that the eggs were already hatching, the touching had just been yesterday and why on Pern was it so cracking early? Kell crossed her eyes slightly in an amused manner as she, like the other candidates, had been gathered up and rushed off to the hatching grounds. It never seemed to matter to Kel, how many hatchings she attended, she was always caught up in the excitement. Yes, it hurt to a degree, that she was always left standing, but it was what it was. She did her best not to let it bother her too much.
She had taken her place near the gold egg with the other girls, the heat of the sands and the humming washing over her was as familiar to her as many of the other candidates. It was as comforting as the spicy scent of her father's dragon. Blue eyes did a quick scan of the grounds around her but she didn't have long before shells had started cracking, including the gold egg. Apparently the little queen wasn't quite ready to make herself known as dainty claws scraped along the inside of the shell. What the gold had been doing, Kel didn't know, but she hadn't been bothered coming all the way out of her shell.
She watched with amused pleasure, the antics of the other hatchlings, while keeping an eye on the gold egg as well. When the little gold dragon finally emerged from her coveted shell Kel smiled with amusement. She was beautiful, as all gold dragons were, but she was entirely too amused with her shell and far more entertained with it than concerned about finding her bonded, until she did. Kel offered her congratulations before Mylorah and the little gold went off with the bit of shell.
With the gold hatchling bonded, Kelian only slightly saddened it hadn't been to her, spent her time watching the antics of the other hatchlings as they broke free of their shells, caused havoc, and found their mates. She had some growing concerns over the greens that went for the stands, she had been afraid they would injure themselves too much but apparently they did just fine. The two the greens took them to eat and Kelian turned her gaze to the remaining eggs and hatchlings on the sands, shifting her very warm feet from one to the other. Shoes or no, the heat started coming through and was uncomfortable no matter how many times one stood on the sands.
She really did enjoy a good hatching and she really liked the ones that were exciting like this one, when there were hatchlings that had such a wide range of personalities right out of the shells. Lost in her thoughts she had missed a couple of the pairings but that was normal for her, she never did catch them all until after when she realized some of her friends were missing from the dorm.
