The girl's own eyes were drawn to where Ariath was, her great golden body gleaming perfectly with health. Collosal wings were furled around her, eggs tucked away from sight so that the queen could prolong the excitement, she definately was a tricky one.
"She certainly knows how to be the center of attention," Carella beamed, "she's great at keeping the excitement buzzing."
She turned to the others and smiled once more, "I can't wait for the final count, I wonder how long it will be before we find out."

"I dont know what the count is but I have heard a Rumor it stands at five." Orana said slightly excited "I wonder what Colours are going to hatch from them" Orana said watching the queen only to get a tail in her face from her Flit "Sorry Malathan" she said smiling at the flit.
Queen is as a queen does...they love attention. Orana Grinned at the queen then Ithean lifted off her shoulder seemingly having had enough attention and landed nearby which left Orana's other hand free to scatch the Queen as she liked it. "Had enough have you Ithean" she chuckled
"Ariath is indeed a tricky one" Orana beamed with excitment and anticipation. "Any queen knows how to be the Center of attention Especially around Clutching time" she added.

"It would be wonderful if there were another Queen in the clutch... but that's so rare, I shouldn't get my hopes up. But a junior Queen would make the future even more secure. I imagine there will be quite a variety..."
She watched the flits. "Your flits are pretty young, right? How long, do you think, until Malathan will be able to rise?" she asked, daring to put a gentle back of her index finger against the tiny queen's chest to stroke the soft skin gently.

"I honestly dont know...Malathan is only a few weeks old and so is Ithean. But if she was to Rise I think she'd hope Ithean caught her" She said chuckling "I dont know How long it takes Firelizards to Mature then Rise...though I have been looking into it" Orana explained. Malathan cooned happily as she was getting much attention today.
"It would be just amazing if there was another queen" She explaimed "Though it is doubtful... But it would be a great sign of promise" Orana said "Variaty is a good thing...there had better be atleast one Bronze and Brown in that clutch" she said grinning "More would be needed if another queen is there hidden underneath Ariath." Orana despratly wanted to become a dragon rider herself and hoped the queen's clutch would be larger than 5 eggs.

Remia herself had always had a vague dream of being a dragonrider... but her father's insistence on his children following in the craft seemed to make it a remote possiblity for her.
So, amiable as always, she kept it a remote dream, not wanting to get her hopes up for something that was so rare. But she always kept an eye out when a dragonrider came, thinking that maybe she might be whisked away...
And then one day it had happened, and her father had been both proud and irritated at the same time as she left to go to the weyr. She promised to keep up the craft, but he had grumbled under his breath about her not having the time to devote to two things and be excellent in both. He was a demanding person, expecting that they would do their best, and no less, or they would have his disapproval.
She sighed, breaking her reverie, and looked over at Carella. "I don't think it should be too much longer... I've never seen this happen before though, so I don't know how long it takes."
She smiled. "And you're right, she knows exactly how to keep all eyes on her... but don't most Queens?" she asked, and gestured to the tiny Malathan, who's chest she was still gently stroking.

((O_O two posts? eek ))
Orana smiled at Remia "I hope its soon" she said grinning "I think I have seen atleast one other impression and clutching. It took a long time" she said stroking the Small queen who was now flexing her small but impressive golden wings.
"Yes they do," Orana laughed she remebered when Malathan encountered another Flit queen a fight broke out with Malathan the winner and the other queen fleeing. Malathan wanted to be Oiled a lot after that. "I do belive it's a queen's trait" she beemed

Remia laughed softly. "I think so, too."
She retracted her hand as the small queen fanned her wings, and simply watched, a soft sigh escaping her.
"I've always wanted a flit. I thought... well... that it was the closest I would ever come to having a dragon. You know, with my dad being so insistent on us following in his footsteps. His grip only tightened after Trenor left. So..."
She raised her hands and shrugged. "I sure got more than I dreamed for, eh? I got searched, and now I get to live among all of them!"

PenOfDL Naree "I can write pretty good, that is one thing my father made sure we all knew how to do. Especially when it came to written trades and such."
Nestren waited as it seemed like Ariath had started to slow down the laying and looked a little off color. "Do you think she is almost done? Oh, if I become a dragon rider...I will tell you everyone's name!"

"It takes a few weeks, at least," Kirana said, plopping down next to Nestren. "Preparing eggs for a hatching is a long process..." Kirana yawned heavily, rubbing her eyes. "We have been out here for a long time. I'm starting to get tired."

At mention of eggs Carella found herself drifting off into her imagination once more, eyes settling once again on the Queen. When would she reveal them? When would this anticipation finally come to an end? She firmly told herself that the longer it took the better it was, they needed plenty of eggs ready for Thread.
She glanced back to Remia with a small smile, ashamed of losing track of the conversation and catching the end of her sentence. "I haven't seen one before either, a clutching is simply a wonderful event, dragonriders really do embrace celebrations when a chance appears."
"Queens do like to look their best, it's their duty I'm sure." She paused as the golden firelizard fluttered her wings, "you must have something...special about you I think. No ordinary person can get searched - or that's what I believe - they have something inside that a dragon sees, and a dragon always knows best." She smiled, "my younger brother had a little firelizard, I'm sure that if it wasn't for his injury he could have been a dragon rider too." She sighed, "I wish you all the luck when it comes to hatching, I'll be watching!"

"A dragon can see into the Heart" Orana added to what Carella said. "They know things that we dont even know ourselves" She had been lookng to Remia when she said that then turned to Carella "You little brother could still try" Orana said "I knew of this one boy had a horrible accident before an impression. Poor boy indeed all the other Candidates called him cripple, But when came for the hatching well.." Orana broke off and smiled "A impression he got, a young Bronze dragon..."
"Your father can not stop you Remia" Orana said nodding and smiled as sighed "Just because he wants you to, I belive he would love it if you became a Dragon rider regardless" she smiled. "And Well I bet you will impress a flit one day" she grinned.
Malathan Cooned happily as Orana continued to caress her soft moist scales. The Queen's tail was wound up Orana's arm as much as it could she turned her scaly head to the Bronze Flit Ithean and Chriped. Ithean Chirped happily back and opened his small wings anf flapped them once then closed them against his body. Malathan Chirped anoyed. She wanted him here.
"Thank you, I can't wait" Orana said excited once more still gently caressing the Firelizard's scales. "Arnt you a candidate as well?" Orana asked Carella. "Remia I wish you the best of Luck"

Kimie Kitty Lemurrin saluted in the general direction of the blue. "Yes, 'regal,' of course!" He kept his tone light in order to keep the dragon from feeling mocked... if dragons were sensitive to that kind of humor. The harper looked out across the sands at the Queen. "Any idea how much longer she'll be at this? I figure you'd know more about clutches and hatchings than I." A n** at his ear made him correct himself. "Other than fire-lizards, that is," he amended. "Actually..." Kalya grinned appoligetically, "I am about as clueless as you." She shook her head slightly. "The time before was all a blurr. I'm not sure if I could remember details. Wasn't suppost to be the one to impress actually." She remembered dropping down onto the sands to help a girl who got clawed pretty bad by another hatchling when she had felt a hit to her shoulder. Standing up she had taken a step back only to watch as the little blue tripped over his tail to get to her. "I was so nervous, not knowing what my Mother would say but it all happened so fasty I could not stop it... not that I would now." She loked up at the blue who was now sunning himself on the ledge above. "As for a clutching, I have never seen one yet for flits or dragons." She drew her knees up. "This is my first." An unusual look showed around the corners of her eyes, as if she was begining to understand the joy that the flight of dragons could bring.

Remia smiled. "Oh, I don't think he'd try to stop me, at least not very hard. He'll just be disappointed to lose another one from the craft and grumble for a while, I suppose. But thank you for your support." She nodded her head graciously.
l
"And I hope you're right about the flits. Like tiny precious jewels, they are" she said.
