Her hand slipped into his when he offered to help her up but instead of letting go, she idely, thoughtlessly, entwined their fingers and squeezed, holding his hand as they bid farewell to the couple and the babies that weren't yet sleeping. A content smile was on her face as he guided her up towards the hill, her expression a bit pensive with a hint of wistfullness mixed in. "Hmmm?" She questioned, realizing he had said something. "Oh, um...well, I am feeling a bit tired...do you mind if we walk?" While walking took longer, in her slightly fatigued state it was easier and safer than flying. She tipped her head up to him as they headed up the hill, the moon starting to rise above them casting sparkles into her eyes. "If that's ok with you." She smiled a little again before looking forward to make sure she didn't stumble over a branch or a root or anything and then started speaking again. "I still can't get over how adorable and playful the whelpings are. And the Hatchlings! I didn't even know dragons could be so small!" She smiled, her words laced with a soft laughter before she sombered just a touch. "I can't imagine a female dragon like my mother. I mean, look at Heather, she has almost twenty children and you can tell she adores and cherishes everyone of them. How could my mom not want a whole clutch?" She questioned softly, looking up at him. "It kinda sucks, you know, thinking about the fact that I could have had siblings to grow up with, I could have experienced all this as a child and not look like a bumbling idiot now...I just don't understand why she would take all that away from herself...and from me. She must have lived in a Clan and obviously they protected her until she was old enough...why wasn't I good enough for that clan and why limit her pregnancy to just one human child instead of a few dragons?" She shook her head, it was just boggling to think of it all and she was really speaking her thoughts to him, opening up as they walked. "I could never do that, I don't think. I couldn't find out I was pregnant and then put that necklace on, knowing I could be destroying a chance for more children to experience life..."
