Mixed Hatching

"Um, it's... Um, it's Tessa..." I murmured distracted, trying to pull my eyes away from Callaghan's mother as she verbally - verbally! - berated me for my assumptions. Such interesting things rogue sorcerers could do...
Cradling the small brown to my chest, I crouched to meet the Pelovettt face-to-face, finding myself suddenly lost in the dark wonder of his eyes, the profound mystery that exuded from his consciousness.
"You're going to hear this a lot if you stay with me," I spoke with soft endearment, reaching forward to gently caress the dragonet's jaw, "but you're beautiful... Really beautiful, my young Caeddrhy prince..."
With growing confidence I began to rub my fingertips along the Pelovettt's throat, an ecstatic grin beginning to tug with bald, audacious joy at my lips.
"And," affection now tinged my tone as the pressure of my hands increased, "I do promise to explain everything to you... when you're older."
A playful wink of one steel blue eye assured the dragonet as I rose to a full standing position.
"Will you come?" I asked, inviting, one hand gesturing to the small family that now accompanied me, my eyes taking in Asthorié, Machere, Daegahna, Ferranerathe and Lierenorinthe by turn before turning a loving gaze back to my newest potential charges. "I think I know just the name for you..."

While the Pelovettt could tell that his candidate was flustered by the silly brown creature and it’s equally silly dam, he pretended not to notice their existence. *Tessa? Are you sure? You didn’t seem very certain.* He was thoroughly enjoying teasing this human! *Yes I am beautiful, aren’t I,* he replied haughtily. *When I’m older… I have the feeling I’m going to hear that a lot. I want to know now!* With an exaggerated sigh, he curled up on the sands, eyes fixed on Tessa. *I will come, but what is this name you have in mind?* Clearly, he would never cease questioning her or any of her other bonds.

Ravi smiled "You are very welcome to join me. I've taken a role as a teacher now so I'll happily answer those questions that burn inside you. What I dont' know we can seek together."

((OOC: sorry it's so short))

OOC: Not to worry, I didn't exactly give you much to work with. This is hardly any better, but it's my best at the moment.

IC:
*Well, then, that’s settled,* the Everland replied, sounding unaccountably as though he had just signed a contract. He was thoroughly pleased with his chosen and was already anticipating vastly wild journeys they would commence. Stared off into the sky he happily shared his sentiments with Ravi, preferring more of an empathic communication at the moment. Breaking through his daydreams, however, his stomach gave a great rumble and he remembered that was hungry- very hungry!

Syres smiled faintly in response to Maira’s comment, her eyes telling of her puzzlement. “They do indeed,” she murmured, now frowning. Turning to catch the other woman’s eye, she proceeded to explain the theory of the keepers as Doneryl had said earlier…
++++++
Meeting Saiyuri’s gaze as she stared in surprise at he and the garnet, Doner gave a feeble grin. “Such is the mark of the keepers, I suppose. Though never have I witnessed a pair bonding separately… Certainly it’s not unknown, just highly rare.” To get his attention, the Pelovettt butted his head against his chosen’s arm. Doner turned back to the dragonling, grinning, and reached out to rub his eyeridges. “You’ll be wanting a name, now won’t you?” **And a meal!** He laughed. “Well let’s see to that meal and I’ll think of a fitting name for you, fine sir.”

He was grinning like a boy as he turned back to Saiyuri, violet eyes bright as the sun. “Have you thought of a name for this delicate rose?” Syres appeared at his elbow, a platter of meat balanced in either hand for the newly bonded pairs. “You certainly have a flare for rarity, don’t you?” she teased while he took the offered platter from her, choosing to ignore her comment and fruitlessly pondering a name.

As Syrelsuna explained to Maira about the Keepers a silly smile began to creep across her lips. By the time Syres was finished Maira fully understood all the implications of what had happened and she couldn't have been happier. After all the pain Saiyuri had been through it only seemed right that two innocents could point her in the right direction.

The baffled Rathnaiti woman listend with a mixture of feelings as Doneryl spoke. When he finally turned his attention back to his hatchling Saiyuri did the same. As she stared in wonder at the little Mahkkir sitting in front of her so many names started rushing into her mind. She had only barely sorted them out when Doneryl asked her what she would name the little rose hatchling.

Unable to tear her eyes away from her newest bond Saiyuri answered him softly, "If she likes it I was thinking of something along the lines of Miela'Raisha." Then with a small laugh Saiyuri looked quickly up to Doneryl and would have said something but for the appeearance of his sister carrying food trays and sensing the hunger from the little girl Saiyuri took one greatfully and turned her attention back to her hatching. *So my sweet little rose what do you think of the name?* Saiyuri asked curiously as slowly gave the hatchling her first meal.

As she was waiting for an answer from the Mahkkir Saiyuri heard Syres' teasing comment to Doneryl and she gave a small smile. She wasn't sure if she was included in that 'flare for rarity' but for those not from Dai'Wadeeya she probably did seem an rare creature.

"Malikoriel," I replied, allowing the inital portion of the name to roll in a thick bout of fluidity from my lips, letting a dramatical pause fill the air before I continued, a whimsical grin of good natured teasing aimed at the Pelovettt.
"Malikoriel no ser Tivalderen... Do you like it?" I inquired, arching my brows curiously.
Nice to see you asking him a question, for once... I heard the soft mental whisper breach my mind, an impudent and self-assuming presence within my psyche.
"Machere," I sighed, rolling my eyes and shaking my head tiredly at the confident young Thyraswlhd. "You're going to have to help sate the whelp's curiousity just like the rest of us, so don't start mocking me when you'll take my position..."
What?! the objected was nothing but stark shock, ice hard and indignantly quivering. You want me to expend my valuable time explaining why the sky's blue and where you learned those foul words of yours?
"I sure do!" I smirk cheerily, winking the Malikoriel as we made our way towards the local gathering of draconics. "A big, strong, smart Thyraswlhd like yourself ought to be able to teach Malikoriel lots, Machere..."
The only reply the met my suggestion was a disgruntled huff, though a faint rose tinge trembled at the edge of my awareness of Machere, a tickled amount of pleasure at the compliments which had been paid.

<<Ah, Machere... Such a sticker, but I just love him! *Glomp.*>>

Word of the mixed Hatching came to Neou's ears well after the Hatching had started. The young woman and been daydreaming when word came to her. Now, quickly, she jumped to her feet. Did she have some meatrolls? Yes, and klah if she herself grew tired. That was all she needed, surely... A mixed Hatching? That would be different. Running to where the Hatching was taking place, Neou bowed to those assembled. "Please, may I stand?"

- honey-gold and crimson; male; Fire; Everland

Eliza saw the two remaining "Hello" she said to them both, hopeful one would choose her.

Maira smiled warmly at the newest arrival and answered, "Of course you may dear. Just go take a place over by the eggs and wait. We've still got many many hatchlings yet to come so I'm sure you'll be swamped with babies by the time all is said and done."

Nodding at the kind woman's words, Neou moved slightly closer to the various eggs. There were two young creatures currently wandering. That could not be all though. Indeed, it seemed hardly any of the clutch had gone. "Thank you very much. I would indeed like to be swamped with babies. Though not the human sort." Grinning crookedly, Neou admired the simply beautiful hues of the wandering two. Truly, all were beautiful. And soon perhaps she would be graced... Though she did not know what sort of draconics these were, even if they were truly draconic. The mind often played tricks upon one...

Suddenly Maira was assaulted by her bronze firelizard Gamble. Turning to see what could be causing the flit to act so crazy Maira had to cover her face to protect it from flying shell shards. Lowering her arm Maira saw three little firelizards looking around anxiously for food. The three pairs of eyes that landed on her belonged to two greens and a rather large bronze.

Quickly Maira backed up out of the hatchlings' reach and grabbed the new arrival shoving her in front towards the hatchlings. "Well you said you wanted swarms, start with those three," she said as she laughed. Her own flit horde was more than large enough and if she could prevent it she wouldn't be taking home any more flits today...at least none of Gambles offspring.

Neou, who had been quite focused upon the Hatching, was suddenly startled by the eyes of the three fire lizards watching her. "Oh!" Taking some meat, as there seemed to be plenty present, she offered it to the three fire lizards. For names... Names... What could she name them? However, food seemed a more important issue to the three, who now seemed to understand that she would be the one feeding them. "Well... Faraday and Melisende. The two beautiful females, that is. And you, my handsome fellow... You shall be Jayme. I think that fits all of you."

ooc: *pokes Neou* i know what books you've been reading!

(OOC: LoL. I usually name any new creatures I get names from the current book I'm reading. I'm easy to figure out. ^^)

OOC: I’d like to apologize for my sudden absence. While my availability was sparse to begin with, last Tuesday evening my computer graciously crashed, as those I had been speaking with on various messengers may have noticed. I will be attempting to start replying more frequently again in the meantime I would like to thank my co-hostess for keeping the hatching alive.

OOC: FM this is Maira....I'll be posting under this name now =)
