Pretty Little Things (Pretty`s Clutch Hatches)

[kia]

The Pink had Risen, and to Lynx`s surprise the little thing had actually Clutched! In her weyr! Lynx had called for some sand for the two little eggs that laid on her bed. The basket was wrapped with Lynx`s furs during the day, and Pretty kept them warm at night. It was a good system, especially for Pretty who did not want to risk her eggs getting smashed by the two mother dragons on the Sands. Lynx could not blame her. she wanted to see one if not both of the eggs Hatch into healthy little Fire Lizards. Whatever colors laid beneath the shells, only time would tell. But she was proud of her little Pretty. Even Gneith was proud. The Green would never have eggs of her own, but at least Pretty would. And for that, Gneith had even offered her own body heat to help keep the eggs warm. But, even though Lynx could trust Gneith, she was still worried that Gneith would accidentally turned the basket over and dump the eggs all over the floor. Lynx thanked Gneith for the offer, but left the basket next to her bed so she could keep an eye on them.

Pretty had been agitated recently, pacing around the eggs and chirping at them occasionally. This perked up Lynx`s attention and she would often be caught watching them. She watched Pretty constantly turning them, keeping an eye on them whenever the Pink was not sleeping, eating, or off being crazy. She honestly believed that if Pretty had not Clutched in her weyr, the Pink would have eventually abandoned the eggs. But with the eggs here, in sight, with Lynx to remind her, Pretty had taken good care of the eggs. And now, these last few days, Pretty had been extra attentive to them. She chirped some more and finally crooned. Lynx sighed and closed her eyes, figuring she would rest them for a bit. The eggs were not going to Hatch just yet. They would need more time, right? The black behind her eye lids started to swirl and turn with colors. Eventually, a face was beginning to form. She recognized that face. She smiled and reached out to take the person`s hand. It was a wonderful feeling and she was flying with the person now. She opened her mouth, about to say their name when...

MINE!

Lynx`s eyes opened and she looked down to see Pretty sitting off to the side, humming lightly. One of the eggs was beginning to move, wiggling, a tiny crack appearing toward the top, left hand side. She smiled with happiness as she saw the little egg moving. Which meant the second egg would not be too far behind. She turned her head and looked at Gneith, who was watching with whirling Blue eyes. "Gneith, send out a little message the best you can, would you? Tell them there is a Fire Lizard egg, possibly two, that are Hatching right now and need someone to Impress them." As soon as she said that, she turned back to the eggs and moved a little sand out of the egg`s way, helping the eggs to have more room to move around. Soon, there would be little Fire Lizards chirping, calling for food, and Impressing their new Mines. She hoped all the eggs would Hatch. she really hoped. As for Gneith, even though she did not have the superiority as a Copper of Gold, but she did the best she could. More than two people would be able to get her message. Surely they would. The new babies needed Mines! There are two Fire Lizards eggs Hatching right now! We need Mines to Impress to them. Please come to Lynx`s weyr! she called.

Arsana heard the message passed to her from her orange lifemate. She smiled. Her green firelizard, Ranie, could use a friend, she thought. She walked to the other Rider's weyr, finding it easily. She gently called inside. "Hello, Lynx! It's Arsana. I have come to try for one of the firelizards your beautiful Pretty has clutched."

She waited patiently to be allowed in. She never entered without the Rider's permission, it was plain rude. Her thoughts turned back to her beloved lifemate. The flight had been a good one, but she hoped that she wasn't pregnant. It would be a disaster if she was. But then again, she wouldn't mind having a child, wheather or not the father accepted the child or not. It would be hers, and hers alone. She sighed. She didn't want to put a child through that.

Everyone was snoozing in the infirmary except for Andry. How that had come about, Cleo had no idea, but she was immensely grateful. A passing dragonrider got the message from their dragon, and announced it with amusement and pointed out that Cleo needed a more useful helping hand. When she heard the message, apparently from Gneith, her heart fluttered giddily. The decision to go was purely spur-of-the-moment. Beaming at the fat brown firelizard, she sprang up from her desk.

"Flitter eggs hatching, Andry! I'm gonna go! Watch the infirmary, would you?" Giggling, Cleo departed, with a bounce in her step. Andry sighed. He was torn. Part of him was somewhat hopeful, because if Cleo got another firelizard, it could be the watchdog instead, and he could sleep more. The other part, though, was the one that feared for the amount of attention he normally got. Would Cleo start ignoring him? After so many Turns? No more cuddles? Slightly upset, he settled for sleeping. Sleeping always made him feel better.

Cleo didn't know he wasn't watching anymore, but she didn't care. There were eggs! Flitter eggs! She did so love baby flitters. She remembered when Andry was a baby... He was so tiny, and thin and healthy! Now he was big and fat. Maybe a new firelizard could help Andry get in shape? She could hope! He'd be more useful then. Despite how lazy he was, though, she did love the little brown blob.

"Yeek, sorry, I hope I'm not late!" she spluttered as she finally found the weyr in question. She gave a winning smile to Lynx. "I'm Cleo! Ohhh, no, I'm sorry, I just sort of... rushed in here, didn't I? A little ahead of myself." Laughing nervously, she hoped for forgiveness. She was a tad scatterbrained right now!

Did you hear that Paraleemine? Flitter eggs. Like Cleo's. Tomarth said suddenly, waking Paralee out of an unplanned nap. She was sprawled out on the floor of their room with her head resting on Tomarth's stone bench. She blinked a bit, surprised that she'd fallen asleep. "Hm? Flitters?" she asked, propping herself up with one arm and trying to salvage her horridly messy hair. That's what happened when you fell asleep on the floor she supposed.

Tomarth nodded, stretching and heading towards the door. Once out in the hallway he turned around and peered back in. "Where exactly are you going Tommyboy?"Paralee asked, managing to get to her feet. Flitters? I do like flitters. Do you not want one
? Then it could play with Andry, the blue replied eagerly. "Oh that's right! You said something about that...." Paralee said thoughtfully, making one last attempt to tame her unusually messy hair she slipped out to the hall. "Now off to find the eggies! Though I have no idea who this Lynx is...."

Eventually though, with a little help from a few friendly dragons and Tomarth asking directions, they found the weyr. She peered inside and let out a happy squeal, though not at the sight of the eggs. "Cleo!" she squeaked, running forward and quickly hugging the other woman. "I haven't seen you in almost forever though it hasn't really been that long has it? You here for the flitters too? Oh of course you are why else would you be here unless it was to meet this Lynx person...oh look at the eggs!" Paralee said quickly distracted by the pretty eggs in the basket. She peered over at them before noticing the other people in the room. "Hello to you too!" she added brightly.

Lynx grinned at all the people who were showing up for the eggs. Ah, she really hoped both eggs would Hatch. She wish she had more eggs to give, but sadly there were only two. But they were still Hatching! "Come in! Come in!" she said happily, welcoming the people into her weyr. "It is nice to meet you Arsana, Paralee, and Cleo! I wish I had eggs for all of you just for showing up, but I only have two from Pretty`s Clutch. I hope the second egg starts moving soon. It would be nice to have all the eggs Impress safely," she said, smiling happily. She was glad some had answered the call. She had worried about Impressing the little things. Pretty was enough for her to handle. She helped the women find a place in her weyr with Gneith moving closer to her ledge to allow more room. The Green had done this reluctantly until Lynx promised to tell Gneith what color the eggs Hatched. Now that there were potential Impressors here, Lynx moved back and let the women move closer to the basket. Pretty was not comfortable with so many around her, but she would put up with for the sake of her children.

The first egg that had moved continued to wiggle back and forth. It first started shaking slowly, and then the shakes became rigorous. Cracks began to appear on the white with brown speckles shell. The cracks were like spider webs, crawling and starting to cover the entire surface of the egg. Finally, a nose pushed through, followed by a small chirp, letting others know it was fine and on its way. The head pushed through and all that was left was the body. Struggling forward, the shell gave way and revealed the little Fire Lizard. Out came a bright Pink Fire Lizard! She was very bright, like her mother, only she did not have any discolorations on her at all. She yawn and looked up at the three women, he hunger catching up with her. Finally, she began to move and made her way over to Paralee. The little Pink chirped sweetly at the girl, stretching her neck out and nuzzling Paralee`s hand with her head. She was hungry. She sent these feelings to her new Mine. Would the woman give her food?

The last egg was not moving, and Pretty pushed it a few times, thinking the movement would set the egg off. But it did not. Lynx frowned. It had been a dud. "I am sorry, Arsana, Cleo. I had hoped the little egg would Hatch, but I guess not all Clutches from Pinks will have every egg Hatch. You will find your new little friend at other Clutches. I am just sorry it was not at Pretty`s Clutch," Lynx said apologetically.

(( Color: FF00FF
Info: This little Pink is a sweetheart. Unlike most Pinks who are hyper and energetic, she is a lovely little feminine thing. She likes to ride on your shoulder and just be in your presence. Whenever she wants something, be it attention or food or other, she will sweetly nuzzle your cheek or your hand. She is very graceful in the way she flies and walks, never exerting herself beyond more than she needs. The only exception to this will be when she Rises. She is almost the perfect little Fire Lizard to carry around on your shoulder. ))

Cleo was absolutely giddy as the egg began to rock and form cracks. She wondered what could be inside. A little blue? A green? Black? Pink? She doubted it was a brown - this egg was smaller than Andry's had been. It had been quite a while since the brown's hatching, but she remembered it fairly well. Chances were, her memory was skewed by how big Andry was now, but either way: she doubted it was a brown.

And she was right. Soon enough, a little vibrant pink popped out. Cleo gasped, quite taken by her bright hide. She seemed calm, and undoubtedly feminine, and after a little while she made for Paralee. Cleo grinned.

"Oh, Paralee, dear! She's so cuuuute!" Cleo gushed, clapping for her friend's Impression. She looked at the other egg. It seemed quite still, though... Hm... Was it alright? Then, Lynx announced its status as a dud. Cleo felt sorry for the little egg, but she smiled happily at Lynx.

"Oh, don't apologize, honey!" she said. "It's alright! I still have my darling fatso brown back in the infirmary. He'll probably like that he'll still get all my cuddles!" At that, she giggled, and then looked back at Paralee and her new little pink, eyes full of her happiness for the weyrling girl. She remembered how much Paralee had wanted a firelizard when she'd first met Andry. Now she had one!

Paralee could barely contain her excitement at the sight of the little egg shaking. Just as when the dragons had been hatching she watched the tiny cracks race across the surface of the shell. Oh she did hope one of the little fire-lizards would Impress to her. Well, if not to her then to someone here! She didn't want to see a baby flitter go between!

Before she could even begin to guess what was inside the pair of eggs, the first one broke open revealing a bright pink flitter. The little thing yawned, adorably, and headed towards the women. Much to Paralee's delight, the pink nuzzled her precious little head against HER hand! Oh! She squealed in delight, grabbing a scrap and giving it to the affectionate pink.

"Oh thanks Cleo! Now she can play with Andry! Well, I don't know if he'll be up to much playing," Paralee said happily. "I have no idea what to call her though..." She stared at the pink for a moment. " Ladny!" she chirped finally, pleased with the sound of the made up word. "You are now Ladny!"

(nonsense word my but, that's Polish for pretty Keeping the name alive man!)
