The Silver's brush (Dearyths Snow clutch eggbrush)

[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 candy cane 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.

'Halloween' egg- This egg is a bright, pumpkin-orange with a slight sheen to it.


Dearyth was apprehensive waiting in the hatching grounds. She didn’t want to be apprehensive, she couldn’t help it though. These were her eggs, these were her babies. But the candidates wouldn’t be candidates if they weren’t suitable to come to touch her eggs. She explained all this to Hanrak as well, who wasn’t concerned one bit, but Dearyth was still trying to convince herself.

If you don’t like them, then you are allowed to tell them to go away. You have the right of that.

But I don’t want to tell them to go away, I just don’t particularly want them to brush my eggs...

Trust me, it will be fine, you can keep a close eye on them, and if they do anything you don’t want, you can tell them off. We also have S’ven and Corenth keeping an eye on the candidates, as they are the candidate masters. It will be fine, I will be right beside you the whole time.

Fine. But I want Rinath here as well... He is lucky, as Weyrling Master, he gets to look after our babies after they have hatched, there are so few of them...

She gazed at her five small eggs.

You will still get to see them after they hatch. And even if they don’t want you to be, you will always be their mother. Don’t become too overprotective when they get their riders. It will make it hard for the Weyrlings...

I will try...

Are you ready for the candidates?

I ‘suppose I am as ready as I will ever be, bring them on...

She said the last bit with some slight humour in her voice...

Phoenix tilted her head at the call of the silver dragon whose clutch was on the sands and a grin spread across her face. She could go to this touching! She was a candidate now! She happily scurried to the hatching sands excited about the touching. The teen reached the sands and paused at the edge to watch the adult dragons for a moment. The silver mother was beautiful and the father was handsome. Their children would be pretty too or so the teen hoped. She smiled at the clutchmother and stepping foreward a few paces curtsied politely.

"Thank you lady silver for the honor of touching your eggs." she said straightening before moving toward the eggs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tessa grinned when she heard the silver's call. Another clutch to touch! She hurried to the sands and saw that she wasn't the first of the candidates to arrive. One of the new girls, a sassy holder girl had taken that slot. Not that Tess really cared. She bowed politely to the silver clutchmother, Aurora adding her own chirp of greeting to the larger silver.

"A beautiful clutch, lady silver. May they all impress come hatching day." she said before straightening and moving toward the eggs.

M'kal turned his head in Rinath's direction, a slight grin on his face. Today was dearyth's eggs egg-brush, and he knew that Dearyth would want Rin nearby. He buckled the last buckle on the single harness and strapped iimself in.

Alright, Rinrin, let's get this over with, eh? Rinath rumbled amusement at his rider's tone.

Yes. And those candidates had better not hurt any of my silver gal's eggs, or there will be... what do you people say? hell to pay! he bugled softly. M'kal chuckled and Rainth pushed off from the ledge of their weyr, heading to the hatchign sands...


M'kal and Rinath landed lightly right outside the grounds and Rinath spoke to Dearyth.
Dearyth, my silver gal, You wish me by your side?[/color] he asked politely, no knowing how a brooding female dragon would react, even to her mate of mates.

M'kal slipped off Rin's back and peeked his head through the entrance. He saw Hanrak with Rinath's sight, and waved. "We can come, right?" He asked out loud to the other rider. He and Hanrak were friends, definately. The fact that their dragons were mates had nothing to do with their friendship. He smiled.


-------------------------
S'ven leaped into saddle, patting the sand's shoulder. "C'mon Corenth, we gotta go keep an eye on those candidate who're going to be interacting with those eggs! We dont want any accidents..." He said. Corenth's eyes swirled quickly, a calm green-blue. but at the mention of accidents, his eyes clouded briefly with a haze of yellowish light. S'ven chuckled. "Don't worry Cor'. It's just the egg-brush, and M'kal and Rin' will be there too!"

Corenth huffed. Fine, Mine. Let us go then. But this is a prime spot to soak up some sun! Some sands could get darker by sunning themselves, and Corenth wnated to look more like a Brown. Plus a warm day was not to be passed up! after three chilly days this early fall week, he wanted the rays of the sun. But he sighed and pushed off from the ground, gliding towards duty...


S'ven and Corenth landed nearby M'kal and Rinath. "Hey M'kal!" S'ven called to his friend.
"Hanrak's there already?"

M'kal nodded his head 'Yes'.

"guess we're waiting on Dearyth?"

"Yeah."


------------------------

[inkith]

When Dearyth saw her mate enter, she rushed forward and entwined necks with him, rubbing her head against his, her eyes whirling with anxiety...

Just start it, get it over with it! She conveyed to all riders in the room.

"Yeah, come on over M'kal, just circle around Dearyth..." He grinned at the mention of someone avoiding Dearyth, who was normally so calm...

"S'ven, just get it started... I'll keep check on Dearyth, but now that Rinath is here, she should be better..."

He waved M'kal over and went to sit on the bottom step of the teirs surrounding the sands, behind Dearyth and Rinath, but in front of the candidates so he could see everything that going on. He was protective of his dragons eggs, just not worried, yet...

Dearyth leant up against Rinath but kept a firm eye on the candidates, already noting special ones, through the way they had greeted her, and even their posture at the moment...

Phoenix moved through the eggs. The Night egg was her favorite so far. The little black egg was sure to hold something special she was sure. As she brushed her palm against the eggs she silently wished them good luck.

I hope you all impress. Stay strong little ones. she thought smiling at the eggs. She spent some time with the Halloween egg and the Frost egg before moving on. After going to all the eggs she turned to the silver mother and curtsied again.

"Thank you, lady silver. It's been an honor." she said before leaving the sands. Oh she couldn't wait for the hatching! It was going to be so much fun!

Tessa's favorite egg color wise was the Candy egg. It's bright colors suggested a Spiral or Sunset rested within. She silently wished all the eggs good luck come hatching day. They would need it she was sure.

After the Candy egg she went to the Sky egg. The blue egg was another one of her favorites. She spent some time with the Night egg next. When she'd visited all the eggs she turned to the clutch mother.

"Thank you for the honor, lady silver." she said. Aurora chirped in agreement. Since hers was happy she was happy though she still didn't think hers needed one of those oversized firelizards but that was an argument for another day.

[Raelyn]

((ooc: lol, fire! i didnt post s'ven starting it ^_^ lol))

S'ven nodded and quickly got the candidates together. The first two to take a step onto the sands and touch the eggs were Tessa and Phoenix. For a new official Candidate, Phoenix was doing quite well, and he was sure she would impress *soon*-- whether this clutch or the next, he was sure she was dragonmate material.
Corenth rumbled beneath him, laughing.
You, dearheart, have an interesting mind. He commented. After all, it was the dragonets' choice who was cut out to be a lifemate, not his personal opinion whic would make it happen!
ah, but Cor', you already knew that! anyway, I know it's too soon to tell, of course, but i was just saying. She's on par with the others... faranth's shell, i can't wait until we can retire from this position and become Teachers! Corenth rumbled his agreement, a dragon more of emotion than words.



Lanrie skipped lightly onto the sands. Having stood for one clutch before, she was confident that she would not harm the eggs as long as she wasn't careless. And even though for the most part, the eggs looked similar but for bright spots of color on some shells and less on others, she still felt excitement pour through her. Her fire-colored hair whipped out behind her and she bowed to Dearyth, smiling plesnantly at Hanrak.

Stepping forwards, she came to the night egg. She put her palm on the smooth shell and whispered to it.
"I wonder what dragon you will be... Don't worry, little one, your hatching time will come soon! And after that, impression to the one who wil make your life complete..." Inside, Lanrie hoped that the baby inside would choose Her.


Nataniel
His leg was acting up again. It seemed to do that more often when he was doing something exciting! Lessons, no problem- egg brush, and he could barely walk without a limp visible. He tried to hide it, and now that the weyr's medics had made life easier for him, his outlook was several shades brighter.

He grinned and did a sweeping, but honoring, bow to the mother, Dearyth, before limping into the sands. The hot sand felt good on his feet, and he resisted the temptation to kick off his sandels. Natan moved to an egg at random. the Halloween egg- it was a shade brighter than the normal reddish brown-orange of the shells, enough so that where it lay near the black night egg, it appeared like the ancients' holiday Halloween's official colors.

He put both hands on the egg and ran hem over it's uneven surface. He wondered if the egg brush really helped the babies choose... He hoped so! with a grin still on his face, he wandered from that egg to the next. The candy egg. Just because it was the color a spiral Might be, didn't mean that that was the baby within! And the egg was large enough that maybe it was a brown within! Though he very much doubted that!

((ooc: ill put more up at another point in time! and i had an idea- what if valureth and dearyth's eggs hatch on the same day?!?!?! early morning? something like that?))

[Raelyn]

Zavier nervously stepped forwards an bowed toDearyth. She may hav ebeen small, but she was alot bigger than him, and he was, surely, labelled as a trouble-maker.

He shook his head ot clear those thoughts and walked over to the clutch of eggs. The sand fell into his boot, and he made himself not shake it to dislodge the hot stuff. He was too close to that egg to do anything like that!

Zavier wadded through to the Frost egg, and murmered to it, patting it softly on the top before walking over to the Sky egg. Each egg was special, he knew, and one of them might just hold his future lifemate!

Torriama smiled and bowed deeply to Dearyth. Then she walked slowly over to the Night egg, and softly rubbed it with both hands. "I'll bet you're the strongest of the lot.." she whispered to the tiny blak egg. Torri gave it one last pat and moved towards the Haloween egg, spent some time by it, and then walked towards the just-as-small Frost egg. It was the complete opposite of the Night egg in coloring, nearly transluscent...
"And you- you'r probably a white... sparkling, handsome white... You hatch well, hear me?" she encouraged the tiniest egg. She left it and moved throughout the other eggs until she had touched each one, bowed again to Dearyth, and moved away from the clutch, towards S'ven.

"How lon do you think, S'ven?"
He glanced down and smiled.
"Very soon, I'm sure. Don't worry."

hiding behind a leg of the lowest level of the stands was harper Penni. When it appeared that no-one was looking, she stole out and daringly touched one of the eggs before hurrying away. She quickly bowed towards Dearyth, hoping not to get in trouble. She touched the Candy egg.

David stepped out, and saw someone run through quickly. Whoever it was, they were really, really fast! Wioth a smile, the young blonde boy bowed to the Mother dragon before moving throughout the wonderful eggs. Most were knee-high, but some were smaller, and some were much larger.

"You'll do great, dragonettes." he murmered to them.

((we should finish this! Bella was not at the Weyr yet, and probably would not have tried to participate anyway O.o and Faizah came to the weyr about a sevenday or so after this ends--> let's finish up so we can hold Val's egg-brush?))
