Kirana smiled as she continued to stroke Tithenth's neck ridges before noticing a growing and persitant itch between her shoulder blades. Frownining, she squirmed a bit as Tithenth rumbled in amusement.
I itch, my rider. That is why you itch, Tithenth said, shifting her shoulders slightly.
Kirana nodded, snatching up the oil pot in what she had been given and dipping her hands into it, gently rubbing them over Tithenth's hide, focusing on the spots that were visably dry before moving to the rest of her.
Glancing over at the Weyrwoman, Kirana frowned lightly as she glanced down at Tithenth. The little dragonet nuzzled against her rider's side before cooing gently, She will be fine, Kirana. She is strong...like you.

R'ign looked around at the gathered weyrlings. It appeared that all of the hatchlings had finished eating and most of them were beginning to look sleepy. Waving her hand about, she gestured for all the weyrling pairs to gather around her.
"Weyrlings. Congradulations to you all on your Impressions. As you have noticed, the dragonets have quite a hunger. Your main duty for the first few sevendays will be to feed, bathe, and oil the growing dragonets. They will grow rapidly for the next Turn. But for the next few sevendays, they will do little more than grow, eat, and sleep. You will have to constantly oil their hide so that it does not become imperfect and crack between when they grow older.
"For the moment, however, you'll notice that most of your lifemates are about to fall asleep where they stand, so I'll take you all over to the Weyrling Barracks. It'll be kinda big for the eight of you, though. You may have to oil some of them, then get them to settle and you'll then go to the Lower Caverns for the Hatching. After the feast, your dragonets will begin to wake up and we'll take a trip to the lake to bathe and oil them after feeding them again. Any questions?"

Keltrazzanon K'elt sighed. He turned to Aoki "Oh well, I guess it is just us then. Let's go collect G'dor and join the party." (('Night all!)) ((He zonked out xd ))

Watching as the rude intruder was again made to leave, Gabriel decided to go help. Before he even got there, it was over.
Looking at the new hatchlings, he again reviewed the events of the Hatching, wondering if there were anything that he should have done differently. With a sigh, he left the grounds, heading back to the Candidate Barracks to check the pot with his fire lizard egg.

Gail slowly made her way down the teirs as all the commotion was going on. She was still in a wonderful mood after watching the dragonettes impress and the joy of the new riders. Wave after wave of happy feelings from her own impression swept over here and she was feeling rather emotional at the moment.
The man left escorted out by the watchful eye of Garanth and Gail swept back up the stairs to the sleeping G'dor.
"My my, can't even stay awake for a hatching." She shook him gently waking his feline compainion who batted at her irratable. She shook him a bit harder and finally he woke with a jerk.
"You missed all the fun, silly! Holder's invading the sands, canidates sneaking in from who knows where, and twin queen dragons! Fort now has three queens! Isn't it wonderful? Perhaps now everyone will perk up, this hatching came at such a good time."
She turned to see Aoki and K'elt coming up the stands. She waved at them and guestured to a barely awake G'dor. She smiled at them.
"I don't see how he could have slept through such a thing... Men!" She said joking, playfully tugging on his silken white braid. She loved his hair; most of the women in the weyr envied his hair. "Get up, get up! You'll miss the feast, succulent wherry meat and fine Benden wine for all! You don't want to miss that do you?"

(Wow, Gabriel and I are about the only ones that showed up that didn't Impress. Somehow I'd figured there'd be more)
Disappointed, Feather left the Hatching Grounds, trying not to cry. Ignoring the sounds and smells of the feast, she picked her way across the bowl toward the lake. She'd join the crowd in a bit. Right now she wanted to be alone. Sniffing, she fought the urge as she sat and stared at her reflection in the water as she silently chanted to herself: I will not cry... There will be other Hatchings... Will be one soon at Benden... I will... not... cry...
A single tear slid down her cheek and fell to the surface of the lake, sending out a tiny ripple.

Naeryn sighs, seeing the candidates who didn't Impress wander disconsolately out of the grounds. And that one girl was so nice...
Cyhiraeth crooned and butted Nae's leg. Hers wasn't here.
Nae bends down, scratching Cyhiraeth's eye ridges as she listens intently to R'ign. She nods and gives a beaming smile. She felt sorry for the others who didn't Impress, but they had another chance, and she was too giddy to be upset about it. She followed R'ign out of the hatching grounds.

((Yup, back to Fort for the Hatching Feast. vv" And there would be more if some of the one's I decided to not impress ever post. A good reason why they didn't Impress. >< I would have liked to Impress all the people who posted but I had to keep the clutch small. You guys will find out why soon enough))

((>.> Gonna go to the Bended hatching. Just gonna make up a dragon rider to take me XD))
As all the hatchlings become paired off, she slowly walks off of the hatching grounds, and out onto the legde outside. After a moment, she waves her arm and calls out "T'rin!!" As the blue dragon lands, she smiles and calls out "Care to give me a lift to Benden?"
The rider nods cheerfully. "Hop on."
Climbing onto the seat behind T'rin, the dragon slowly beats it's wings and rises into the air, winking out and disappearing to Benden Weyr.
