%She nearly let out a holler of joy. She had come right before the hatching of the Queen, what luck. She walked swiftly up next to Rinali, briefly flashing Al'dar a smile and a thumbs-up before turning her attention toward the bugling Queen and her daughter, who would son make her belated entrance into the world. A challenge it would be to Impress the Queen. Rinali seemed like the kind of character to Impress the small gold, lively and bright like Riyana, and the same age. It would most likely come to them, but she hadn't talked to the other femme who still stood dragonless. Nevertheles she sidled closer to the immense Gold, her eyes sparkling in a defiance that was somewhat respectful, if that could even be achieved. The intricate mottled pattern of the shell between the waiting forearms lured her still closer as she walked within distance, all other eggs behind her. I think I could Impress the Queen...it's always possible, but Rinali...she's been here longer than I, would that effect the hatchling's choice? The doubts came from the back of her mind, but she quickly pushed them away, her face lit with the odd grin, green orbs fixed on the shell as it shook, the small creature inside beginning its struggle for freedom. Riyana stood as an onlooker and a Candidate, feeling as if she was watching herself fom the stands, distant from everything around her except that egg. This is quite a moment of truth, isn't it? She thought to herself, resisting the intense wish to reach out and touch the sphere, slender fingers twitching. The red-eyed Queen still bugled her unwillingness to give up her daughter, the opalescent ((PSAT word!)) hues shining brilliantly. Must be hard, giving her up to make a life-long decision before she's even hatched...yet she has to... A genuine small raced across her features before she turned and grinned to every femme that had formed the circle.%
"Best of luck to everyone!"
%She turned back to watch the egg, the wind already loosening the bun she had fixed earlier as wisps flew down into the shimmering green hues of the femme.%
