Emilla had to get away from the post-Hatching excitement, and the beach seemed like the perfect place to do that. She carefully walked along the sands, still feeling rejected. Did every rejected Candidate feel this way? She didn't know how Ranee was holding up. Her friend was so resilient. She was perfectly content to celebrate with Lukas, no L'kas now, over his Impression. Emilla was so lost in her thoughts that she nearly stumbled over the green fire lizard. "Oh, sorry." she stammered, hoping she hadn't frightened the tiny creature. Then she saw the eggs. About eight of them, all clustered together. She gasped. The lovely fire lizards had always fascenated her, and she'd often longed for one. Perhaps now was her chance. She leaned forward, ready to claim the nearest egg.
"You gotta talk to her first."
The voice seemed to come out of nowhere. Emilla jumped and turned around, finding herself staring into the face of a small girl. The child's hair was long and tangled and her clothing looked worn, but she looked at Emilla like she was laughing at her. "Huh? What? Who're you?" "I'm Ciel." the child quickly replied. "And you're doing it all wrong. I been watching her, she's more choosey than most greens. If she doesn't want you to have one of her eggs, she'll drive you away." "Is she yours?" Emilla asked, surprised about how knoledgeable the girl seemed to be. "Nope. Somebody else's. Mine's Wave here." A little green on her shoulder chirped in confirmation. Emilla was surprised, and a little annoyed. How had a kid like this Ciel Impressed a green? She looked at the girl carefully. She'd never seen her around the Weyr before. She looked disheveled but proud, as wild and unpredictable as her green lizard. But she obviously knew more about these creatures than Emilla did. "So what do I do?" Emilla asked. Ciel smiled. "You go up to her, stoop down till you'r at her level, then talk nice to her. Ask her very politely if you can please have one of her eggs. And telling her how pretty she is always helps." She was proud of herself. She knew more than this bigger Weyrgirl, more about fire lizards anyway. And probably more about dolphins. She'd yet to introduce herself to the Weyr's resident pod. Maybe this girl, whatever her name was, knew about them. Emilla went back over to the nest and knelt in the sand, so she was looking right at the green. "Why hello you lovely green." she murmured. "Why how beautifully emerald your hide is. You are undoubtedly the prettiest fire lizard I've ever seen. Now I see you have eggs here. May I please take one? I promise I'll give one of your babies a good home back at the Weyr. I'll sing to it and take it everywhere with me and you can come visit it if you'd like. So please would you give me an egg?" She tried desperately not to laugh. She'd never been so complimentary toward anyone before, and she hoped her efforts payed off.
