Green eyes widen slightly in surprise as the Gold nudges the prettily shaded little egg in his direction. He'd not intended to bother her with the trouble of giving him an egg... after all, he'd only hours before been so lucky as to get his Ajax... A deep bow of thanks is given to this exquisite little Queen, and Ryu extends his hand to the egg proferred, gently covering it a bit more with the warmth of the Beach's sand around the edges... but still providing a good layer shell revealed for which the new hatchling could escape to the world beyond. Ryu draws sandy fingers back as the egg begins to rock a little, the shell cracking, and then shattering as a proud viridian head juts through her ivory confinement to the freedom beyond. Ryu's hand is ready as soon as she's pulled her winding forest-colored tail from the wreckage of the shell, gentle caresses upon the emerald neck providing ot only a loving touch, but the offerings of food. From his crook in his arm, the little Ajax creels plaintively for his own share... not bothering to help the two older browns, tenor humm harmonizing together to welcome the new flit to the world.

The feeding continues until the little green's sides visably bulge with her feast, and as Ryu's hand reaches down for a second scritch behind an eyeridge... the touch he gives is returned with a gentle touch of minds. Vix swoops up from Ryu's lower arm onto the opposite shoulder of Cargan, and the boy of nine-turns gently raises the shining -- and exausted -- litle green into his other arm. The brown muzzle of the oddly loving father that was Vix brushes against the little green's delicate face as she drifts asleep, and then with a farewell creel to both Cargan, Ajax, Ryu, and his unnamed daughter... Vix resumes his observant circling of the clutch from above.

With a long sigh, Ryu heads off to the Weyrs, seemingly surrounding his youthful frame... he'd procrastinated in going to the Feast long enough; and he'd dishonor his parents by not coming at all.

Yet another sigh.

Being the son of Weyrleaders was so inconvenient...
