A Mother's Worries {Mal's Hatching}

[Zara]

The little Green was curled around her eggs in the pot of warm sand that sat by a fire in the lower caverns. Jaysarae was sitting there as well, curled up with some reading materials, just spending time with the little Green and her three eggs, Lan, her blue, on her shoulder, though he was often warned off by Mal if he even happened to get a little bit too close for her liking.

Jaysarae turned the page and, at that same moment, Mal sat up at attention, one of the eggs of her clutch starting to shake. It was the smallest one that was shaking first. Jaysarae blinked in surprise and shot up. Oh Faranth! They were hatching. She looked at her blue. "Lan! Get as many people as you can!" Her order came as annoyance to the already humming blue, but he left to do as he was bidden.

He flew swiftly around the Weyr, undoubtedly being a nuisance, sending images of hatching flitter eggs into the minds of anyone who he happened across and where they could be found. The three beautiful eggs that the little Queen in his life had produced.

He chittered and flew and dove. Hurry! Hurry! Babies needed people! They needed owners for themselves!

((Alright, so, claim eggs OoC- !))

The eggs lay in the sand. There shells were beautiful. One was a light tan color, almost blending into the sand. This was the largest of the eggs. The next egg was a bright green color, mottled with more yellow and orange colors here and there. The third egg was small, but was a lovely white with a slightly metallic sheen to it.

2. Green as Grass Egg - Riki
3 White as Cloud Egg - Rii

A'thur had been on his way back from puting away some oil for Merlinth's hide when he saw a blue firelizard flying around like a chicken with it's head cut off. What in the world is going on? Curiousity drove him to go to the room where it seemed was the cause. He turned the corner into the room, and saw that there was a green flit, a girl, and a basket of eggs. He walked in, and looked the eggs over, and it seemed like they were ready to hatch. May I take one? He pointed at an egg that had interested him. He looked over at the girl, and wondered what she would say, or if she was going to try to impress each of them.

((He's pointed at 1. The Pale as Sand Egg))

The insistent firelizard had led her right down here, and so here she was in all her dirty glory. Seana had come right from serving her chores up in the weyr proper when the father of the clutch had found her, and she had no time to clean herself as the little pest hadn't left her alone! Upon her shoulder the protective form of Storm watched over every move that his mistress made, and made a soft chirp of interest as he caught sight of the eggs ... there where only three, but that didn't make them any less interesting in his view. Waiting patiently to the side Seana watched as A'thur picked the first egg of the clutch, and only moved forward once she was sure that it was okay to do so.

"I hope it's okay if I take that one then" with that she pointed to the Green as Grass egg, her lips quirking in a hopeful smile as she waited for Jaysarae to respond.

[Zara]

Jaysarrae smiled. "Yes, you may." She looked around for some kind of food. There was some dried meat and some bread left on the table from her earlier meal, which honestly had been not. The quiet girl never ate a whole lot.

She grinned, watching the eggs with the mother who had her wings spread over the eggs, her head lifted to the sky as she sang to her eggs, to welcome each young one into the world.

It started then. The "Pale as Sand" egg was shaking faster and harder. Soon, a wing broke the shell, followed by a head and claws of a lovely brown who was soon picking himself out out of his shell. He chirped and looked around, spreading his wings. He looked at those there. Only one really grabbed his attention. He chirped at A'thur. His needed to feed him now. He walked to the edge of the basket and walked down, spreading his currently small wings to balance himself as he walked up to A'thur and looked up at him stubbornly, sending feelings of hunger at the Rider.

[Zara]

Jays smiled at Seana. "Certainly," she said, watching the egg which shook insistently, as if knowing it had a chosen owner. Mal's song increased as the egg shook and she flapped her wings, standing tall on her back legs, excitement tinging the mother's movement.

The "Green as Grass" egg started to shatter into pieces around a lovely little Green flitter who, upon being released from her egg, fell into the sand that filled the pot she and her siblings had been resting in and immediately hissed, trying to clean herself. Sand! Sand on her beautiful hide! This was not okay! Not okay at all! She spent time cleaning and preening herself before jumping up onto the edge of the pot and spreading her wings, making sure there was not too much sand left, but, unfortunately, there was. She looked up at Seana and sent images of being clean and of food into the girl's mind. She would feed her and take care of her and love her and play with her. She knew it! Or, if she didn't, she would make her.


Green
Personality: Happy, excitable and rather touchy about her appearance.
Appearance: She is lime green with a dark forest green strike down her back from the tip of her nose to her tail tip and then a line of the same green running along the front of her front legs and along the bones of her wings.

A'thur nodded when the girl said he could take the egg he had wanted. He looked over at the green flit as it started to sing, and then watched as a brown flit hatched from the egg he had asked for. He lifted a brow as he watched the flit approach him stubbornly. He knelt down, and picked up the stubborn flit. You're stubborn one aren't you? The brown chirped at his, he wanted food, not conversation. A'thur rolled his eyes, and grabbed a piece of dried meat that he had seen, and fed the hungry male.

Alright, what should we call you? A'thur sighed as he tried to think of a suiting name for the brown flit. I think I'll call you Lancelot. The brown flit crooned at his, when he heard his name. Then, he climbed up onto His' shoulder, and wrapped his tail around A'thur's arm. Thank you. After saying his thanks, he turned and left the room. He needed to see how his bronze dragon would react to having a smaller brown around.

Seana watched in interest as the egg split asunder to reveal a very pretty green, a very pretty green that was soon covered in sand! Shifting forward the candidate watched as the green started to instantly clean the sand off her body, taking time to make sure that every inch of her body was free of sand molecules. Of course, the firelizard couldn't reach everything and it was in that instant that the images of being clean and of food where projected into Seana's thoughts. Blinking slowly she reached forward and carefully cleaned the remaining sand off the green's body before ushering onto her arm.

"It is okay Vex, you are all clean and now you can have some food" As she talked Seana offered the green a few scraps of food, scraps of food that where soon inhaled by the very hungry Vex. Adjusting her position the candidate grinned happily at Jays once Vex was nestled in her elbow, and carefully bowed to the other girl "Thank you, she is wonderful and I will take good care of her" she tipped her head to Mal too "That goes to you too little mother"

[Zara]

Jaysarrae grinned. She loved the fact that the flitters were getting to go to good homes. She waved to the Brown as he left.

As the girl spoke to her she grinned and nodded her head in gratitude. "Thank you. I'm sure she will be a good flitter for you," she grinned and looked over to Mal who trilled in what seemed to be agreement.

There was just one egg left. The question that seemed to reverberate in Jays' mind was... Was this egg a dud? She didn't think so. It had been shaking only moments before...

[Zara]

There was only one egg left and it still... still it hardly shook. Mal coaxed it gently, nudging it with her knows and crooning. Jaysarrae bit her lip. Oh... she hoped the little one inside was alright...

((Just a post to bump, really. Wondering if we should keep waiting on Rii or if the last egg should go to someone else or... something...))
