Cartith's eyes filled with tear of joy as the eggs were rolled to him and his children. He set the two babies in a sitting position in front of their pile, a little pile of meat in front of them. He would make sure they would get it right.
"Thank you, dear mother..." was all he managed before a medium egg before him started to rock. Shalem and Carly watched wide-eyed as a little brown fledgling broke free of its imprisonment in front of their excited father, who fed the little one earnestly. The other in front of him burst into a blue right after the brown was fed, and then, later, both lay satisfied on his lap. "Brown Nemaco, and blue Draco." he decided, smiling with teary eyes at his two new friends. Then, his attention was diverted from his now sleeping flits to Shalem's pile, a bronze pair of wings shattering its prison, sending shards everywhere. He put a bit of meat in Shalems' hand, and held the small child's hand out to the bronze. It took the meat happily, and Shalem yanked his hand away to get a bit of meat, imitating his father's helped movements. The bronze yawned, and Shalem looked at his father, and said, "Taway." It was a baby word, but... it sounded like a name! He smiled, and saw the other hatch in front of Shalem, a large brown. Shalem needed a bit of help, but impressed. "Sayo." Was what it sounded like he said, pointing at the now sleeping brown.
Carly made a little gasp as her first medium hatched into a large, struggling blue. It seemed very active, but Carly and Cartith managed to feed it. He feel asleep next to her, and she smiled, saying, "Kaywe." Carly had always said little word type things, but this one had a meaning. His children could name their flits! The other medium hatched into a green-sized blue, which looked into her eyes, and she, with Carith's help, fed and impressed the now sleeping "Mew."
Cartith gathered the two children and the six flits together in his arms, and bowed his head to the queen in another silent thank you. He didn't know where Ati was, but he could wait here for her, or check outside the Weyr. He decided to stay there for a second, and walked a bit away, so he could let his children have a nap, too.
