The sudden presence of the Weyrwoman is enough to silence the plain-looking girl, despite the fact that she'd already been introduced to the lady earlier by the greenrider who Searched Ina and herself. However, Jari doesn't move from Ina's side as Wessae goes to help Sahira, and her hand doesn't leave her friend's shoulder--until a gentle but determined hatchling appears from seemingly nowhere and nudges her aside, just strongly enough to upset her balance and send her thumping into the shifting sands on her rear. Dark bluish eyes widening in total shock at being up close and personal--literally!--as Ina Impresses the beautiful dragonet, Jari feels tears of joy and awe well up and hover on the verge of spilling. "You did it," she whispers, hardly realizing that she spoke aloud. The touch of the blue's sleek tail against her ankle surprises her--she'd seen all the other hatchlings make it a point to avoid all but their Impressed (except for the whole mauling-innocent-bystanders incident a few eggs earlier). Feeling rather honored, Jari barely has time to scramble to her feet before instinct turns her towards the clutch just in time to watch the tenth egg fairly explode.

Her breath catches in her throat as she freezes upon hearing the beautiful little green's clarion call, the sweet bugle singing of independence and joy to be free. Caught off-guard, reservation and neutrality fades from her simple features and all that shines forth is hope and wonder as she watches the newest dragonet charge forward after Ina's blue. The sunlight fairly shimmers along the lean, supple curves of the flawless hatchling, lending a surreal glow to a pale jade color that Jari had never before seen. She can't tear her eyes away as the dragonet stops and surveys them all, a young huntress choosing the best of the herd as her prey. Only this isn't prey, it's a lifemate--and suddenly, before she can really process what's happening, there's a voice in her head and a presence in her mind.

Jari, I am called Panth. Food?

The tears that had sprang to her eyes upon watching Ina Impress now begin falling freely as joy suffuses the young woman. Hitting her knees in the scorching sands, she throws lean arms around the green's long, proudly arched neck and hugs her tightly, delight evident in every inch of her body and face. 'Panth!' she cries, unbelieving of her luck--then, suddenly, she nearly doubles over as the shared-pain of hunger pangs hits her full-force. Food, Panth reasserts insistently, and Jari rises with far less than her normal grace. Shining eyes lift, seeking to meet Ina's gaze, a bedazzled smile lighting her entire face. "Her name is Panth," she whispers, voice only for the new bluerider's ears as the lean green headbutts her slender hip lightly. "And she wants food," she adds with a breathless laugh, starting with an easy gait towards the exit, beckoning with one hand for Ina to come along as the other hand never leaves the arch of Panth's smooth neck. Instinctively, dragonet and new rider walk in step with one another.
