Subject: Another impression

Another egg starts rocking - soon after the other two had departed the sands with their jubilant lifemates. This one is larger than those eggs, though - about an average egg size. The mottled shell shakes as the egg wobbles over and around in a cirlcle, making a depression in the sand. The smoothness of the shell is broken when cracks appeared. For a second, all is still, then the egg falls over and the top cracks, breaking cleanly off. A glistening blue dragonet tumbles over and out of his confinement, landing nose-first in the sand. It lies there for a few seconds, then unsteadily rights itself, creeling hungriliy.

It wanders over the sands, falling over several times but gatting a bit steadier each time and never giving up. Soon it has looked at almost all of the candidates, and not chosen any of them.

Metirth croons at the blue, and this sound seems to sooth him, his anxious creels now not as urgent. He looks around again, blue head turning this way and that, red eyes searching.

With a jubilant squawk the blue finds someone and hops, jumps and waddles over to him.
J'her, I am Illith. You impress me. Now I am complete - but hungry.
