Orgailian rolled his eyes when people gasped and murmured about a gold or bronze hatching. Were people that stupid? For some reason, the gold's egg was always tinted and there was a brown sire. Besides, hatchlings were kind of gross when they popped out of their eggs covered in goo and sand as they rolled or trotted along. That was clearly brown and Orgailian felt a little bad for him with how upset he was at being mistaken. Good luck to that pair and the jokes and memories that would follow them for years.
Another group emerged at the same time but none came in their direction. He kind of preferred it that way since his hopes didn't have to bother rising and have a higher fall back to reality. Another girl Impressing did earn a quirk of the brow and then a nod. He had nothing against women on greens and blues but found it interesting that the dragons seemed to think it was time for a resurgence in that happening. But he knew the new green weyrling as well--he knew essentially everyone in one way or another if they were in the Weyr long enough--and he was kind of just as shocked as she was that she Impressed a green.
Another hatchling ended up injured due to a sibling but this one didn't seem as bad, at least to his untrained eye. Maybe the little blue just needed to walk it off and he'd be fine or just a quick patching up and he'd be good to go in a few days. There was a part of him that wanted to tease Zoremet about his current favourite hook-up being too busy for the next little while but even Orgailian knew how in bad taste it was to joke at the expense of injured dragons and held his tongue.
There was a brief moment of calm and Orgailian used it to see what his observing family was up to. At some point K'dar had joined them and so had Brax. What? Why? No, that actually made some sense. Brax was the Lord Igen and K'dar and A'tay would be working with him soon enough so it was probably some kind of test run. "Hey," he nudged Zoremet and nodded at the family, "the man sitting beside K'dar? Do you remember him? That's Brax." They had been together when the Lord approached them but Zor had flittered off soon after and Orgailian took advantage of the situation. "We should say hi later." Assuming neither of them Impressed and his wife wasn't attached to his side. His flirting was a bit more straightforward and he likely wouldn't be in the mood to pretend he'd try for subtleness.
