Author: Nagaina, flits, Taran, Arden (send in the clones), Elly, Salty, and their assorted fire-lizards.
Subject: Clutch!

((As I said before, Garth is at a psychologist, but it's not doing him much good. Hehe. Here is his clutch with Nagaina-the-woman-hater, and there are only three eggs left so I don't outshine the greens. And there is no gold egg, because there are too many already.))


It had been a while since her clutch had been laid. Nagaina curled around her eggs, looking suspiciously at anything that came too near to her. There were only three other fire-lizards nearby – Mang, Bandar and Gidur were her guards, and Beetle was with L’van at his training.

They all looked up as the two boys neared them, the males taking to the air, ready to beat them back if they tried anything. But as they paused and hesitated Nagaina chirped to the others and allowed them to approach her.

From their words and gestures, and the respectful way they gestured to her eggs, she understood that they wanted some. So she neatly pulled herself away from her clutch, inviting them to take a few. She was getting a little bored of guarding them.

The eggs seemed to know. With anxious creels, three hatchlings – two greens and a bronze – exploded from their shells simultaneously, struggling to the two humans and hastily being scooped up as they neared one of the twins.

Taran looked down at his tiny green, amazed as he felt her small mind brush on his. He slowly reached into his pocket, feeding her small bites of some dried meat he had brought for the occasion. “Pepper.” He named her gently, stroking her small head as she closed her eyes and slept.

Arden had received two – the bronze and the green. They fell on the food he gave them instantly, the bronze shoving his sister away so that Arden had to intervene. “Stop it, you.” He told the bronze. “Dragonkind are supposed to be good. Looks like you’re a…” He grinned. “Rebel. And you…” He turned to the green, who rubbed her head against his hand as she felt his attention. “Pip, after my old canine.”

Elly was the next person to find the clutch. With delight she arrived just as some more of the eggs were hatching, and found that she had attached two – a brown and a green. She gave them bits of meat, stroking their heads as she named the green Tippa and the brown Iro.

Salty, much to his personal happiness, had followed his sister there and managed to get two more before they ran off from their just-broken eggs. A bronze and a blue clung to his shirt and devoured food he gave them, soon becoming Dom and LB – Little Blue was all he could think of.

That now leaves…
