Subject: Entrance...

The slightly disheveled girl of almost 18 turns dashes in, almost frantic amber eyes skimming over the Eggs. She visibly relaxes when she notices there was still enough Eggs left for her to have a chance at impressing. Straightening, she brushes a few strands of flame colored hair that had escaped from her hasty braid and strides over to the clump of fellow Candidates. By then her normally carefully maintained guard was up once more. She really mustn�t do that anymore. Standing still, the heat of the almost scorching sand struck her labor hardened feet, and she only barely stopped herself from fidgeting. Then she caught sight of something that was quite unexpected to her. The mottled shell of the Queen Egg, whole. She had sincerely believed the little Queen would have hatched by the time she got there, but apparently she was wrong. In that brief moment, her hopes soar wildly. Could she, the daughter of small time Holders, Impress a Queen? But then she crushes them down again. Of course not. She must get hold of herself. She would be unbelievably lucky to Impress at all, she reminded herself. But hope still persisted...She had just as much a chance as anyone to Impress a queen! With that thought, though, she almost jumped in her loose white Candidate robe. The Queen! She had forgotten to pay her respects to the Queen! To her, that was almost unforgivable. Catching herself from dashing over to the magnificent Queen dragon, she pauses, taking several deep breaths, then strides over to her. The ruddy freckled face had gone pale with the fear she would accidentally insult the beautiful creature, mother of the eggs. With one last deep breath she stutters,
"Hello. I'm Astra. I'd like to Impress, and I just wanted to say even if I don't, I'm really honored to be even allowed on the Hatching sands where the Eggs of such a beautiful Queen are due to hatch."
She manages a weak smile, metally berating herself for stuttering, and hoping she didn't sound like too much a country bumpkin. Mouth dry and palms distinctly moist against her white-robed sides, she returns to her place in the know of Candidates.
