Subject: %Riyana walked onto the Sands, watching as the first egg was Impressed%

%Late again, what am I gonna do? She walked across the Sands, the thin soles of her sandals doing absolutely nothing to ward off the heat. She pressed on stubbornly, pulling on the white Impression robe and securing it before she looked around, watching the Candidates as they stood waiting. The scene was all to familiar to her, watching as Rinali Impressed the Queen egg. The femme deserved to Impress a gold, it seemed to fit her very well. Riyana had left for Eastern, but had doubled back, hearing that Honshu's clutch was farther along, and would hatch soon. She watched the candidates move about uneasily, one inparticular. Watching the femme, the realization came to her. She's blind.... She grinned before turning. What character, her disability can't stop her from trying. The grin played across her face once more. She always had that foolish sort of look about her, being slightly short for her age, lanky and agile with a strange expression always written in the grin upon her face. The green eyes seemed inteligent when she smiled, like she was hiding a secret that you'd never figure out, while she grinned. The grin was lopsided, her lips quirking up more on one side that the other, and her teeth had grown in oddly. The front top teeth were fine, but her canines were too long and her bottom teeth were crooked. Vanity was a term she didn't know, and her looks never bothered her in the slightest bit. She walked closer to eggs, reaching out to stroke one as she walked amidst them, the grin fading slightly as she thought of her parents. Wonder what they're doing now... She smiled, thinking of how her little brothers cheered when she said she was leaving, and they would have to ride in front of the caravan with their father instead of walking. They were twins, and though saddened by her departure, they would find a way to cope with it. The priveleges of being eldest were bestowed upon them, and they had been overjoyed.%

"So...where are you gonna go?"
"To Xanadu, to Impress a dragon."
"And if you don't..."
"I will."
"So we get to ride the horses now with father?"
^Riyana grinned at the boy, younger than his brother by two minutes at most..^
"Yeah, that's right."
^The two looked at eachother, grins lighting up their tanned faces as they ran back to the caravan, hysterical with glee. Riyana grinned and walked over to the green who had Searched her, swinging up as the dragon launched itself into the sky and Between^

%She smiled, knowing her brothers were probably riding with their father, oblivious to the tension that hung in the Sands where she stood. So many nervous people, so doubtful about whether they'd Impress or not. She had no qualms, no doubts about her Impression. If I doubt myself, then I'll back down about wanting to be here, and none of my goals will ever be met. She turned her attention on the others who were still there, watching the eggs in earnest, straining with them. An eyebrow quirked higher than it's partner as she watched the anxious movements of the others as their firelizards sat in the area, trilling and humming a higher note than the dragon's hums. Many of the eggs had begun to shake, and shards of the past Impressed still lay on the ground in shards, shining in the heat of the day. Stand and wait, stand and wait, the hardest part of an impression most likely. Can't rush these dragons though.. Riyana sighed, boredom setting in. She turned toward the other Candidates, the green orbs hazy in though. Might as well make some friends, seeing that I'll be staying with them for quite awhiled after this. She grinned again and set off toward the pair that stood watching the eggs, waching for another to break it's shell...%

((Eastern's Queen was put on the Lost Soul's board, so I dunno about that clutch, so I came here))
