(Heh. As you know from having D'minic and Trag talk, I, DS, am the new owner of the boys, so if I mess up…sorry!)

Tr'ln's footsteps could probably wake the dead. In the stillness of night, he seemed too loud to be allowed, though he was running as quietly as possible. However, he couldn't stop—if he didn't get to the Lower Caverns soon, then it would all be for nothing! He pushed a stray black lock out of his eyes, and turned a few corners, mentally cursing himself for forgetting. Shards, he thought, who forgets they put a fire-lizard egg on the hearth in the Lower Caverns? If the little one's hatched by now, then I'll never get a flit! His thoughts were interupted as he tripped and nearly fell face-down on the ground. Regaining his balance just in time, he skidded to a stop, and looked around.

By now, he'd reached the Lower Caverns, and he wasn't alone. Looking around, he saw the sleepy forms of many riders, and even the form of a woman at the hearth, though he couldn't quite recognize her from the distance. Giving a sigh, he gently walked over towards the hearth, but stopped dead when he realized who the woman was. What was Junior Weyrwoman Talla doing here? Upon closer inspection, it seemed the little green and the brown she had with her were newly hatched; perhaps she left flits at the hearth as well? Well, he;d find out soon, apparently, as he walked hesitantly over.

Tr'ln cautiously knelt next to the hearth, about three feet away from Talla, and leaned over. To his relief, a tiny egg still sat in the little bowl he'd placed on the ground. He sighed in thankfulness, but was soon silenced of all thought. The tiny egg bagan to rock violently, but only for a few seconds. Soon, shards showered the brownrider as the little green exploded from her shell, and then those expressive red eyes gazed into his. Hands trembling, he took a meatroll he'd saved in his pocket out, and held it out. The petite green looked at it thoughtfully, then chomped it up. She soon gobbled up the whole thing, forcing him to get a second and third meatroll from a passing drudge. However, after that, the green yawned, and curled up. She was asleep as soon as her head hit his knee. He smiled down at her, the perfect name forming in his mind.

"You are Agust." he whispered, and gently picked her up, and placed him in the crook of his arm. He smiled down at her, and then looked at Talla. For some reason, Agust's presence made him less fearful of the goldrider. "Those two just hatch?" he asked her, gesturing softly (so as not to wake Agust) to the green and brown.
