SNOWS --Dearyth's clutch

[inkith]

CLUTCHING
IC date: May 22nd

Hanrak was sitting in his room when Dearyth just walked off, she didn't say anything, she just walked off, slightly humming to herself, so she seemed to be happy... But Hanrak was confused.

"Er, Dear what are you doing? Where are you going?"

Dearyth didn't reply back, she just took her time and walked away, now developing a little skip in her step along with the tune she was humnming gradually growing louder.

She was humming a lively song, her feet in time with her little song. Hanrak and her had first heard it at their hatching feast. He was suprised she still remembered it...

Hanrak still had no idea where Dearyth's ultimate destination was going to be. She was taking her time, and Hanrak still couldn't get a response out of her...

"Dear, Dear, where are you going? Where are we going? Hello...?"

Eventually he gave up and just followed her. It was only when they were close enough to their destination that the ground was getting hotter, that he realised.

"You are clutching now..."

Dearyth gave him the equivalent of a dragon smile and said, Took you long enough...

"Wha, why didn't you tell me before?"

You didn't need to know, I assumed you would have figured it out by now, I thought the flight kind of gave it away, you know, that I would be clutching.

"Well, apbt, but, ah *sigh*, you are right... I should have known, sorry my head isn't really here at the moment..."

By then they had got to the sands... Dearyth settled herself in the corner, sort of in the shadow of the grounds. Her belly rippled as she deposited one egg... Hanrak sat down near her, to wait...

[inkith]

'night' egg- this tiny egg is perfectly black like the night sky in wintertime.

'frost' egg- this tiny egg is a shimmering silver-white with a hint of ice-blue in it.

'candy' egg- this ovular egg's shell is a mottled mix of calm yellow-green, bright violet, and cool pale blue. it looks like a candycane mixed with grass. it is a large, oddly-shaped egg.

'sky' egg- this egg is robin's-egg blue, perfectly smooth and freckled with brownish spots.

'holloween' egg- this egg is a bright, pumpkin - orange with a slight sheen to it.

[Raelyn]

Rinath snorted at M'kal
Mine, i am going down to visit Dearythheart. She is clutching our eggs!!! I must go to her, and you stay and talk with your raiinheart?
Rinath flew out of valureth's Weyr and flapped strongly in the thin air of the mountain-volcano. He did a little twist mid-air and dived down towards the hatching sands to meet his silver gal.

Rinath pulled up out of his dive at the last moment and flew right into the hatching grounds.
You did not call, silverheart, but i have come!

[inkith]

Hanrak had his head in his hands and was mulling over things when Dearyth warned him of their arrival...

Rinath is here. She said her tone happy and her eyes swirling happily.

"Wha- is M'kal here...?"

Er, no. She said as Rinath and her nuzzled affectionately.

"Good, this is awkward enough as he is." He muttered under his breath.

[Raelyn]

Rinath snorted in Hanrak's direction.
then went back to twining necks with his silverheart.
Dearythlove, how many eggs have you clutched already?
Rinath was actually curious. for some reason, he was feeling rather fatherly of a sudden.
his eyes swirled blue-green as he nosed dearyth's neck.

[inkith]

Can't you count them? She asked, her voiced tinged his dragon humour. I have already clutched two of my eggs

Two eggs are layed on the sand, one a bright pumpkin-orange with a slight sheen to it, and the other a tiny egg, perfectly black like the night sky in wintertime.

Aren't they beautiful? She asked, staring with motherly welcome at the eggs.

Her belly ripped as she deposited another egg onto the sand, this ovular egg's shell is a mottled mix of calm yellow-green, bright violet, and cool pale blue. It looks like a candycane mixed with grass. It is a large, oddly-shaped egg.

Dearyth sighed
This clutch will be over too soon...It feels as if I have almost completed it...

[Raelyn]

Rinath hadn't seen them-- in fact, he hadnt been sure his silver gal would let him see them, in her mothering state of mind.
He rumbled happily and smiled down at his children, slumbering in teir eggs until the time was right.
They are magnifacent- especially the little black one!
He nuzzled his mate as the third, and slightly mis-shapen, egg emerged onto the sands.
That one looks like a piece of human 'candy'
He made a chuckling noise.

When it is layed, they still need you! They will need you untill they find Their's. Don't worry. [/b]

[inkith]

Dearyth nuzzled into Rinath some more, glad she had him to talk to, to lift her spirits...

Yes a suppose it does look like 'candy'... What do you think Mine?

Hanrak looked up, he had been trying to ignore the conversation between the dragons, it wasn't working... He looked a the egg, it was a miz of green, purple and blue...

"Yes it does doesn't it..." He was wondering how more there could be, surely Dearyth couldn't hold too many more eggs...

Dearyth deposited another egg as Hanrak thought this...

It was tiny and shimmering white, tinted with ice-blue...

Hanrak was staring at that egg... "I have always liked that color, you know Dearyth, it is beautiful...

Hanrak walked over to gaze at the wonderful egg, he reached his hand out to touch it, but pulled his hand back at the last minute, wondering whether he actually wanted to touch it...

Go ahead... Dearyth said, nudging his hand, back toward the egg...

He reached his hand out and gently touched the egg, it was warm, and soft to the touch, afraid he would hurt it, he pulled his hand back...

[colo=Silver]You won't hurt it, they will harden up soon in the heat of the sands, they will have to be hard enough for the dragons to break through...[/color]

"Wow..."

Hanrak just stood gazing at all of the eggs, he didn't want to turn around as he assumed that Dearyth and Rinath would still be nuzzling together...

[Raelyn]

Rinath made a deep, chucklign noise deep in his throat
Yours is embarased by our lovingness? Why so?
He asked his silver gal as he leaned his head upon her shoulder, smiling in a very un-dragonish way at her.

Rinath could feel that things with raiin and m'kal were doing well, so nothing to worry about there.

Maybe, he thought, hanrak needs loving of his own...

[inkith]

Mine has no loving of his own...
Dearyth sighed staring at Hanrak...

Maybe we could try and be matchmakers... She said mischievously smiling her dragon smile....

There are not enough eligible females in this Weyr... She said with a chuckle, because they both knew there were, because Hanrak was the problem, not a strange lack of people.
