Maybe the heat was too much too bear.

A lull paused time in the Hatching Sands and the dragons monotonous thrum pressed in on all sides with the heat. Nothing seemed to exist outside this very moment, the space between hatchings. The crowd's cheers and yells subsided into a different sort of hum, the dull tones of conversation mixing with the various pitches of the dragons. With this background soundtrack of life came the more natural sounds, the sand and shell that crunched underfoot and the general shifting of the Queen as she moved restlessly. Mahiri shifted from one foot to the other, keen ears even picking up the gentle swish of her robe. Her mind quieted with nothing to watch or get too excited about, and she returned to watching people mill about. Maybe she would have time to strike up another conversation. Mahiri's bright green eyes searched around for Bomulf, having lost him in her anxiety and the previous excitement of the last few hatchings. Her eyes did not find him and she sighed, hoping he hadn't lost his nerve and gone; however, she didn't see him as the type to run scared, not from an event of this magnitude.

The footfalls of another Candidate grew louder, drawing near, and she snapped for her daydream-like state to turn and face them. It was a boy, taller than her but younger, the age gap almost unnoticeable. His eyes alighted on her and after some hesitation he stuck out his hand almost forcefully, as if willing himself to make a friend. Controlled anxiety kept him tense and uneasy, but Mahiri gave a friendly smile and accepted the handshake, flashing two rows of slightly crooked white teeth. The white feathers in her hair fluttered ever so slightly and she waved one out of her face, first introducing herself.

"I'm Mahiri, nice to meet you."

At his question her mind instantly flashed to that pressing image of the Gold egg. She glanced back at it and all the eggs around it, before turning back to him with a sadder look. Yes, she was hoping for that to happen even if all the odds were completely against. A girl could dream and want all she liked, and Mahiri would not be let down by the Impression of an equally as wonderful green. Just a difference in opinion as to what her fate would be. She smiled at Kovu.

"I'm hoping for what most of the girls left are hoping for. We all probably haven't Impressed yet because our heads are full of that one Gold egg. I'm optimistic, I want the gold. But the dragon chooses the rider. A green or blue would be just as perfect. Are you hoping for a certain color?"
