nervous by the moment.

the people you are talking to are next to you, so you can whisper if 
necessary. ;)"

>From the sands, Forest Green Hatchling finally finds the one she is 
looking for and gives her a cute look.

K'lor nods. "She never told you either? She gave him away soon after we 
were born so she could try to work the cothold with just one of us. She 
couldn't do that either of course, so that's when she came to Plateau."

looking back toward Kergen again, she repeats, "Maura's other baby. And

entire mug of klah on my foot."


Brack walks down the stairs heading for the tunnel.

>From the sands, Shimmering Redfruit Egg snaps into half a dozen pieces as 
the Regal Brown Hatchling breaks free.

>From the sands, This little brown steps calmly away from his shards, his 
eyes whirling red as he gazes around the sands. With a flamboyant flap of 
his wings, he takes a few steps around to catch his bearings. His wings 
look perfectly formed, and his hide is a rich brown in color. Then off he 
goes, heading away from the other Eggs as he searches for his Lifemate.

>From the sands, Aninna is focused on the red egg, and involuntarily steps 
back a pace as the beautiful brown emerges.

only missed the first few Impressions so far."

world newest brown!

this way and that.

across the sands.

Arden spots Kyrenda amidst the people and wanders over that way. He hmms? 
at Midgarn. "Oh, well the important part, I think is that /I'm/ up here 
and not down there." He then sits down next to Kyrenda.

Danner smiles then waves to everyone

>From the ledges, Tamma grins back at Dia, "Yeah. Did you notice Ella, 
down there? I'll bet you... two whole bubblypies that she Impresses." It 
sounds rather like the bubblypies are more important to her than marks, 
the way she says it.

hands one to her.

stomach growls loudly.

>From the sands, Danora involuntarily looks down at her toes, then looks 
up, blushing, to see if anyone noticed.

>From the ledges, Tamma says solemnly, "Bubblies taste better, but if you

looks around the Sands. Her large whirling red eyes blink as she orients

she knows is out there. With a playful jump she heads out among the 
Candidates.

>From the ledges, Diamond grins

>From the sands, Ella looks a at the blue egg as it cracks open.

>From the sands, Regal Brown Hatchling glances up at the crooning

it."

looks absolutely adoring, the light reflecting off her glittering moist 
hide. She looks up to her mother for approval and glances around the 
Sands, and instinctively heading out slowly, searching for that special 
someone...

>From the ledges, Rhiane ooohs, and turns to look at the sands.

said she would impress a green and there arn't many eggs left down 
there..."

>From the ledges, Cerilla looks down. "Aisha, of course.."

>From the sands, J'nah looks over, with his dragonet at the gold.

>From the ledges, Viresth finds a seat between Viresth's forelegs and 
watches.

>From the ledges, Ryialla crosses her fingers.

else did. I just said she'd Impress."

>From the ledges, Miritha says "Aren't they all smart, Deyaan?"

>From the sands, Inanna looks at the Shards of a Shiny Blueberry Egg with 
a touch of envy.

>From the sands, Tilani shifts her gaze from Katany to L'ren. Back to the

>From the ledges, Cerilla peers down at the Gold, trying to anticipate 
which of the candidates she'll pick.

>From the ledges, Jacella grins at Tamma, than at Diamond. "You realize, 
Diamond, that we'll not hear the end of it from our wingleader if she 
*did* IMpress."

Vivian makes room for the Journeyman Healer.

>From the sands, Aninna smiles tentatively, and spares a moment to glance 
at the other girls before staring at the hatchling again.

*hopes*

looks up at Aninna and Zimona and whispers softly, "She's so pretty..."

>From the sands, W'ren quietly coos to his little green.

N'gal looks over at Vivian for a moment. "Well? Are you taking me up on 
the bet?"

interest but not intensity.

Vivian hrumphs softly, keeping her eyes on the tiny queen. "Ya never said 
what'd happen if ya lost."

>From the ledges, P'tran grins. "Come on .... closer to Aisha now ..."

Kalise whispers excitedly to Sionelle and points to the Gold hatchling

>From the sands, Danora casts her eyes down to the sands, then towards the

sands.

>From the sands, W'ren looks up at the gold, watching.

shoulder.

watch the moment of impression.

dinner."

Tommy walks down the stairs heading for the tunnel.

>From the ledges, N'ren grins down at Rhiane, and tickles her sides when 
she isn't watching him. He, still, however, watches the Hatching over her 
head.

>From the ledges, Pliarth cocks her head to get a better view.

>From the ledges, Tamma wiggles her fingers in a 'hello' to G'fen as she 
peers down at the sands, and the gold hatchling.

>From the ledges, Rhiane turns and looks, forgetting what she wanted to 
say to N'ren.

>From the sands, Ella looks over at Tilani then at the little gold.

>From the ledges, C'dre just looks at the sands. He's stopped breathing.

Alsten glances up at the ledges, trying to catch the eyes of some of his 
friends up there..

>From the ledges, Cerilla thinks if they all lean forward any more, we'll 
fall off.

Kyrenda bites lightly on her lip, watching breathlessly.

>From the sands, Danora peeks at Tilani for a split second, then bluches 
and looks away.

Melata would clench both hands into fits, but one is still splinted.

Vivian gives N'gal a stern glance before returning to watching the scene 
below.

>From the sands, Zimona is afraid to say anything, not wanting to break 
the spell.

Avac clenches both of his for Melata...

>From the sands, A little blue dragon finally escapes his shell and looks 
around, heading out to a group of candidates cautiously.

Darci chews a little on the ends of her fingers while she watches.

Vivian mutters softly under her breath.

>From the sands, Danora turns, attention caught by the small blue.

Tommy comes up the stairs from the tunnel.

>From the sands, Petite Gold Hatchling gazes deeply into Tilani's eyes

>From the ledges, Cerilla looks back at Varquith. "Shells, she's as slow to
pick as you were!"

>From the ledges, N'ren hahs!

>From the ledges, Triola watches Tilani and the little gold, smiling.

>From the sands, Mottled Muffin Egg falls away to shards as the Light Brown
Hatchling tumbles out onto the Sands.

>From the sands, Stepping slyly away from the remains of his shards, this
little brown dragonet gives out proud warble to his sire. His wings are
rather long for a hatchling, and his hide is a rich tan in color. He tilts
his head, blinking his whirling red eyes. Food! Food! That seems to be the
only thing on his mind as he barrels his way out to the Candidates, leaving
his little prints in the Sands.

Darci smiles happily, "An excellent choice."

T'nnar smiles.

>From the ledges, Perith BUGLEBUGLE's echoing her rider's emotions.

>From the ledges, Allis puts her head down, squeezing Dys' hand hard. When
she looks up, tears are running down her face.  "Tilani!  YES!  Tilani!  I

making a spectacle of herself and sits back down.

>From the sands, Valenth croons happily for his golden daughter and her new
lifemate.

>From the sands, Katany says, cold and clear, "Congratulations, weyrwoman."

>From the sands, Cloudy Cream Egg splinters as the Delicate Green Hatchling
is born.

>From the ledges, Aeolth turns to look at his lifemate, and *BUGLES*
loudly, sending echoes off off the cavern.

>From the sands, What have we here? This little green is going to break
many a male dragon's heart in the future. She is very well formed, and
carries herself, even as a hatchling, with an incredible poise, her small
tail snaking behind her. She immediately begins preening, getting rid of
small bits of shards and fluid that are still moist on her. Her hide
appears to be a luxurious glossy grass green in color. Her eyes are wide,
ready to take in the view of the Candidates as she glances about.

>From the ledges, G'fen watches the impression contentedly, though not
really recognizing who is down there.

>From the sands, W'ren grins at the ex-headwoman.

realizing there are other eggs here, too.

>From the sands, Riordan steps back into the circle as the gold impresses
and the others hatch

hatchlings appear

>From the ledges, Kheveth BUGLES. Twice even! :)

streaming down her face. She shouts with complete joy, "Her name is Merinth!"

>From the ledges, Laerth gives a bugle at the gold's Impression, but its a
bit subdued

Z'lym yawns, and curls up to take a nap.

>From the ledges, Aeolth continues to *BUGLE* loudly, and then picks his
rider up, tossing him into the air.

I see him! Don't push me off allready!'

>From the ledges, Sabeth snorts, shoving her head into her rider.

>From the ledges, P'tran chuckles faintly at Cerilla

>From the ledges, Skath *TRUMPETS* with excitement, his wings extending
slightly, only to flip back when they touch another dragon.

>From the ledges, Ryialla looks at C'dre. "Does he do that often?"

his hunt, their lenght fanning over a few of the shorter candidates.

N'gal says "I've got a mark that says Zimona impresses the green."

Kyrenda giggles at Arden, extending a hand to help him back up.

>From the ledges, Kyleri is grinning hugely. "Merinth. Finally."

>From the sands, L'ren looks back down at Cymreth, smiling quirkily.

>From the sands, Zimona says "What wings on the brown!"

N'gal calls out to the Healer. "Alsten?"

>From the sands, W'ren rests a hand lightly on Elleth, watching the new
weyrwoman.

Vivian settles back down, containing her enthusiasm.

>From the ledges, C'dre looks down. "Yes. He does."

>From the sands, Jaela smiles and hugs J'cot, looking proud as a mother.

Alsten moves on down to see N'gal. "What's up, N'gal?" he asks, sitting
down next to him.

>From the sands, Anton wows softly at the brown, "He will....wow!" is all
he can say and smiles at Ella, turning back to the brown.

>From the ledges, C'dre slides down from Aeo's back, and
*smoooooooooooooooooches* Dys and Allis.

>From the sands, Riordan grins at the brown pretending to fly already

>From the ledges, Ryialla grins at Cerilla. "What do you think, Cerilla?
Bigger than Varquith's at his Hatching??

Vivian gives N'gal a smug look. "Ya owe me."

Arden takes Ky's hand and settles back into his chair. "Uhm.. sorry." His
face is quite red.

>From the sands, Zimona says "He's going to able to fly high and far..."

>From the sands, J'cot chuckles at the brown. "He looks just like Valenth
when he hatched."

>From the sands, Aninna straightens unconsciously, and smiles, separating
herself from the other Candidates without realizing it.

N'gal says "A mark says Zimoni impresses green."

>From the ledges, P'tran laughs! "No brown will be as big as Varquith at
Hatching! :)"

>From the ledges, Ryialla looks back at C'dre and grins.

>From the sands, Tilani tries desperately to calm herself, the noise of the
hatching drown out by her own thoughts. Finally, she stands up, leading
Merinth over to the other hatchlings.

>From the ledges, Cerilla shakes her head. "Nope, his wings are long, but
his body's not as big." :)

Alsten chuckles. "You're on, N'gal.."

>From the sands, Jacera grins at Zimona and nods, then looks back out at
the hatchlings, sighing softly as she realizes they've almost all impressed
already.

N'gal smiles to Alsten and looks over at Vivian. "Well, actually, you /owe/
me." He smiles and looks back to the sands. "Come on Zimona!"

>From the ledges, Allis sniffs, trying to look like she got sand in her
eyes as tears stream down her face. "Lots of greens, Maenth will have alot
of competition.", she says, her voice husky. Her eyes are glued on Tilani
and young Merinth far below.

Corrin says "No N'gal. I say the brown.""

Avac says "That brown will be one heck of a glider..."

>From the ledges, Ryialla says "Thought so.."

>From the sands, Ella smiles and nods nervously. "He is beautiful."

Mendi looks around at the commotion next to her, finally seeming to notice
Arden sitting by Kyrenda's side. She raises an eyebrow, giving Kyrenda a
significant look, butt then turns back to the sands without saying a word.

Vivian snorts softly.

>From the ledges, Varquith warbles happily at his rider and the other
weyrlings, and looks like he might /just/ be gloating a bit.

>From the ledges, Zaerith croons softly down at the young ones, and rests
her head on the ledge.

>From the sands, Zimona cant' take her eyes off the brown, his sleek lines
and large graceful wings.

hatchlings wander around searching for their lifemates

>From the ledges, P'tran smiles and looks towards Ella and Aisha on the sands

>From the sands, Aninna watches the green intently, an odd smile on her face.

>From the ledges, Farlioth rumbles at his rider, almost impatient in the
whirling of green and blue eyes.

Sionelle nervously takes a hold of Kalise's belt, hoping she doesn't lean
TOO far.

Jaen walks down the stairs heading for the tunnel.

>From the sands, Inanna looks up to focus on her sister.

Arden looks back past Kyrenda at Mendi, squinting to get a better look at
her. What follows is a trading of looks between the two, with Ky caught in
between.

>From the sands, Jacera bites her lip, eyes shifting quickly among the last
few dragons. Her hand seeks out Zimona's hand and clenches it tightly.

N'gal calls out. "Come on Zimona!"

>From the ledges, Dysira clears her throught and nods to Allis. "Jesseth's
pleased."

>From the sands, Light Brown Hatchling finds what he's looking for,
warbling quietly to the girl standing before him in greeting.

>From the sands, Delicate Green Hatchling gives an almost indolent stretch
before starting toward the candidates, her wings help off the ground.
