And watch she did, as first a cream, then a copper, hatched and chose their bonds, both staying on the sands to watch the rest of the hatching.
The other dragon who was standing on the sands and the human who was taking care of him bonded their own dragons next, a dark blue impressed the human, while a large, and shy, brown hatchling impressed the dragon.
Kria glanced at the remaining human, then turned her attention back to the eggs as the smaller of the two remaining jerked violently, and a very blueish purple hatchling attacked her shell.
She tumbled onto the dunes and wasted no time in moving towards Yahrkria, introducing herself as Izellath in the first sentence and beginning to talk quickly but with purpose and well-thought words in the second. "I kept waiting, because everyone else said we had to wait, but I don't think he's going to make it," she glanced at the last egg.
With a glance to Caerleader Ainnt, Yahrkria took a tactful angle and asked the question everyone was wondering. "Who is he?" she wondered to the little one, but Izellath shook her head.
"He'll tell you when he comes," she said firmly, and a moment later the bright and perky purple was pulling her fellow dragon off the dunes.
Kria let herself be pulled off the sands and then helped Izellath get her food and joined her in eating as she waited for the hatching to finish.
A while later, Irun and Traena entered and started speaking.
"When your dragon has eaten and you have oiled their scales, which are going to stretch and be very painful if they're not kept careful watch over, you will go to your new caerlets and sleep. Your things will be moved up in the morning, and your dragon will accompany you to the bonder dorms to do it. I expect no pranks; that can wait for a few weeks yet. Everyone, be safe. Do not go onto your ledges and do not attempt to do anything tonight but sleep."
Traena added, "I have posted your caerlet assignments outside the door. Get them and go to your room, unless you need to speak with us. We will be by in a few minutes to check on you."
Kria turned her head, looking at Izellath, then rumbled out loud, "How am I supposed to oil you?"
"Uhm.. Yahrkria?"
She turned her head, facing a few of the children who inhabited the Caer, "Yes?"
"We could do it for you, please?" he looked up at Kria's head pleadingly, making her smile slightly then nod her head.
"Of course, and I thank you."
The children laughed and raced off, coming back soon after with oil and oiling Izellath, much to her pleasure.
