In reply to: Meki 's message, "Green Clutch" on 16:20:27 07/08/03 Tue

A bronze firelizard buzzing along the beach comes across the clutch. He circles it and squeaks excitedly, then vanishes between. A few minutes later, he appears near the clutch again. This time, a small blue dragon appears in the air above, landing lightly in the sands.

"This must be the clutch Dell's chattering about," the dragon's rider says, hopping off his dragon's back. Kneeling, the ginger-haired young man focuses his lone right eye on the eggs. "Why's he so excited, do you know, Caphoth?"

The blue fixes his gaze on the clutch, faceted eyes whirling as they re-focus. ~The little one is lonely, P'rin. Oh, he's completely happy with you-~ the dragon says quickly as P'rin starts to open his mouth. ~But he wants more of his kind about.~

P'rin grins. "We can arrange that. Dell," he tells the excited bronze, who has landed by the clutch and is staring at it eagerly, "Pick two eggs. Two," he repeats sternly.

Dell chirps happily and rolls the two smallest eggs away from the others, huddling over them protectively. They are already shaking, and the slightly larger of the two starts to rock. The bronze starts crooning as the other egg gives a tenative shake, and the already rocking one begins to crack.

A green flit bursts from the first egg, her wet hide a dark, gleaming pine shade. P'rin scoops her up instantly, before she can even creel, and the meat secreted in his beltpouch begins making trips from there to her mouth. By the time the second egg shyly cracks, she is full enough to be content on his shoulder while her sister is fed - sister, for the second egg is also a green, though of a lighter near-lime shade.

Soon, each of the hatchlings has a shoulder, and a very happy Dell is perched on Caphoth's head. "Why am I not surprised you picked green eggs?" P'rin laughs, grinning at Dell as he vaults onto his blue's back. "Here, you have friends now. Let's go!" Caphoth lifts off, and a second later the beach is empty again as dragon and rider go between.
