Her hatchlings are now hungry beasts. The Queen fetches a strip of fresh deer meat to each, bringing forth the appetizing aroma of the uncooked flesh. The meat was boneless, soft enough for their teeth to tear. Calling them, again, by name, she eyes the hatchlings around her, seeing to it that none suffered in any degree.

Cries silenced with the entrance of food, he takes one step, and then another. Confidence grows quickly, and the hatchling walks the rest of the distance. Butting his head against his mother's chest, he smiles sweetly up at her. Then he turns, wonderingly touching the meat, his stomach growling commandingly to his brain.

He yelps at his sister's 'attack', spinning to glare mightly at her. His mouth opens wider and he's about to emit the most gruesome sound when the sight of his mother catches his blue eyes. Abashed, he returns sullenly to his own meat, prodding at it...still hesitant about its use. (NT) -- Tarquin, 20:31:32 02/16/02 Sat

Half-shrugging, the hatchling absorbs much air, and clamps onto the meat, shaking it wildly. It comes off in his jaws, half of it inside his gnawing teeth, the other half flying over to land on Styx. (NT) -- Tarquin, 23:36:54 02/16/02 Sat

Captivated by the slice of meat that lands before the young hatchling, she fixes her shimmering blue eyes upon it. Bewildered, she is, on its purpose. Noting the ebony's siblings' similiar confusion, she swipes at the meat, growling. Nothing happened, and she glances upward at her golden mother for explaination. (NT) Halette 23:51:41 02/16/02 Sat

Sighing, she answers their confused faces. "You eat it with your mouth. And then chew and swallow." Why do they want from me? To put that thing in my mouth and show them? No, not going to happen. (NT) Isis 11:52:27 02/17/02 Sun

Umm, change the why to what. (NT) -- Lizzy, 11:54:21 02/17/02 Sun
He nods uncertainly, the chewed meat slidding down his throat. Placing the rest in his mouth, he proudly shows her that he understands. Tasty. A small tongue darts out to lick at his lips, drawing back when finding nothing is left. (NT) -- Tarquin, 15:00:56 02/17/02 Sun
