Subject: ((Kovu)) -In Those Shoes-

She spends her days up in the north park,
Watching the people as they pass
And all she wants is just
A little piece of this dream,
Is that too much to ask
With a safe home, and a warm bed,
On a quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to
Hold onto, that�s all she needs

Mahiri shook her head and smiled quite sincerely, her eyes expressing nothing but happiness. Maybe she would do a little good just standing around waiting. She grinned and squeezed Kovu's shoulder in a friendly gesture, urging him to bring his head up. Her bright eyes were vibrant, friendly, welcoming his question as she sought to answer and relieve the slightly confused Candidate.

"That's alright, I can explain them, you se-"

She cut off in mid sentence as the tell tale sound of eggshell falling away under the straining of another hatchling drove the passive crowd once again into a frenzy of excitement. She grinned and watched as another bronze Impressed, and three more hatchlings in a blur of motion. Mahiri jumped up excitedly, letting out what could be deemed as a high pitched squeal as B'mulf Impressed a brown. She clapped and yelled, already becoming quite hoarse with the days events as her voice broke slightly. She cleared her throat and turned back to Kovu, motioning to the different colored hatchlings and explaining quickly.

"That's a bronze, they're the largest that males Impress. THe second biggest are browns, like those two that just hatched, and the smallest are the blues, but they're usually some kind of speed and agility that you'll never get astride a bronze, just due to size. They all have their strengths and respective duties. Boys can also Impress greens. Girls can Impress the Gold, greens or blues. Besides bronzes, Gold dragons are the largest, as you can see with Shrineth."

She grinned as she explained and pointed, recalling for a moment when she was much younger as her father pointed out a few as the walked or sat, explaining the colors and telling various stories to Mahiri and her brother between Gathers, reciting some of the songs or singing them horribly off key. She grinned as she thought back to her first questions pointed at her father...

"So there's blue, greeb, brown, bronze and gold?"
"Yes"
"What about red?"
"...no, there's no red dragons."
"Oh" Mahiri screwed up her pretty little 7 Turn old nose and thought a moment. "..pink?"
He chuckled softly, "Certainly not pink."
Mahiri sighed, "I want a pink one."

The young female grinned at her memories and the silly thoughts that occurred at those young ages, and how her brother had scoffed at the notion of pink dragons. Mahiri shook this thought from her mind and turned to Kovu with a smile.

"I can answer any other questions you have, if you'd like."

If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that,
what would I do,
What would I do
