Subject: Impress?

The boy walked out unto the sands, staring longingly at the remaining eggs before positioning himself near some of the larger ones, then stepped backward, Wonder if I'll impress... I'll just try to, give it my all. He stepped forward again, and suddenly was caught in an distant memory...

"Taro, what is that? Behind your back...."
"Nothing... nothing at all...jus' air."
"Is it another firelizard egg? If it is..."
"I know.. I know, Put it back."
The young Taro let his shoulders sag, and walked, very slowly, back to teh beaches where he had found the eg, hoping it may hatch before he got there. Feeling the need for revenge, he spent the night on the beaches... The next morning though... thread fell...He was crieing, as the firelizards fought above him, then he saw it... Dragons! There he was, standing outside in a thread fall, he could not think of anything but the Dragons, swooping, darting, skipping...A minor threadscore was well worth the watch... and since then, since he was only 9 this is what he had wanted to do... and here he was.
His thoughts dissolving he smiled, and took another step forward, courage renewed. He looked at the queen, then to it's rider, " It's an honor." He whispered, talking though rather to the dragon eggs themselves...
