Stifling the urge to sigh impatiently, Aless instead began shifting from foot to foot--discreetly, of course. To occupy her time, she begins looking at the other Candidates. There seemed to be a lot of shy people here, she noticed. Marea would fit right in. Shards, she wished she knew if Marea had Impressed or if she was still standing ont he sands...A scowl flickered across her face. It's no good wishing so just think about something else. Like the dragons. Now that was a topic she'd gladly think about. Mentally, she began compiling everything she knew about dragons. Let's see...greens were the smallest, then blues, browns, bronzes, and of course, the queens. Her mind latched onto the thought. A queen! Her eyes unconciously were fixed upon the golden egg, and as soon as she realized it, she looked at the rest of the clutch instead. No use dwelling on it, she mentally chided herself. Any color is perfect for me. Except bronze. But still she couldn't help her gaze from wandering to the magnificent queen standing guard over her clutch. Even though the gold's wings were folded, she could tell that the queen had a huge wingspan. What glory it must be to ride a creature that huge and beautiful! She envied the Weyrwoman with all her heart, but knew that she herself had a chance to Impress...even the queen.
