Author: WB Cara, Graythorn, Faini, and Shadow... and K'rea
Subject: A group of supporters... and an unexpected candidate?

The Weyrbrats were there, naturally, to watch the Hatching. After all, Taran and Salty were here! Why wouldn't they watch?

Surprisingly, Graythorn suggested it most strongly. After missing K'rea's Impression of blue Neroath, he'd been crushed, and insisted they go now.

And, against all odds, K'rea turned up as well, Nero with him.

Cara ran up to Salty as he got to the grounds.

"Hey!" she shouted, coming up to him. "Hey, Salty! We'll be watching, alright? Good luck!"

Faini went up to Taran. "Hey, boy! We'll be watching, alright? Good luck!"

Soon, both girls rejoined with the boys, who were following Shadow over to Elly.

[Hey. We came to watch the boys.] he signed, sitting next to her. The others sat down, too. All... except Graythorn.


Graythorn didn't hear the shouts of the others as he ran onto the sands. none of them had questioned his white candidate robes; apparently in the fuss of the hatching, they hadn't noticed. But, now he was running out to the Sands, towards the great golden Shrineth... ready not to watch the Impression, but to participate in the Impression...

Graythorn, out of breath, soon found himself in front of the beautiful mother.

He looked up, and winced. It had never completely dawned on him how big a dragon grew... though, he did of course remember that golds were the largest and highest of rank. And there was the fact they only Impressed girls. That Graythorn could count on.

He bowed low, and spoke.

"Shrineth... for the record, I have no idea how to greet you. My name is Graythorn, and I've just turned 15, if that helps. I know others are giving introductions... but I really don't know what to say." he grinned, despite himself. "And now I'm rambling, aren't I? Anyway, I wish to Impress one of your children... and I hope it turns out well. Thanks."

He awkwardly ended the bow, and looked up at the Gold. His let his gaze linger, then ran off towads the other candidates.

He looked around, and sighed, then walked forward again. Then, his eyes widened. Boy, these eggs were big! Some of them were probably getting to be as big as he was. Graythorn just watched them in awe, wondering if he dared touch one.

At last, he made up his mind, and laid his hand on the rough surface of one of the smallest eggs. It was hard. Graythorn, eye's widened with the unexpected rock-like hardness, gently took his hand away, and stood back. Then, he looked around, and situated himself near Salty and Terent. Finaly, he took one look up at the sands. Faintly, he saw K'rea give a thumbs up. It gave him more hope then he knew what to do with.

((Any color is fine, really!))
