All---
	Obviously, this is the log of Ryi's hatching yestereve. :)  All watch and 
dragon-type spam has been cut out to protect those who don't have spam-filter
contact lenses; knot chat has been left in, though.  (If y'all absolutely
cannot deal with sifting through the knot stuff, then just drop me a note and
I'll edit it out. :)
	Wind to thy wings,
	Kassima, green Lysseth's pet psycho, Benden Weyr.


In Mehlani's arms, Callie swivels her head around and peers at the activity. Mehlani 
pets her softly and keeps a good hold on her.
Jiriel tugs at his ear this time, and nods. "Yes ma'am, that would be very convenient." 
He glances around as others come by. "'Fraid I don't have anything a hatchling would 
like with me."
Shar hummmmmmmmmmmmms, then hops up on the edge of the bucket, where she spreads her 
wings possessively over the eggs. Ryialla rolls her eyes. "Oh, stop that, you silly 
firelizard."
Thera scans the crowd. "Big surprise finding you here." She grins at Kassi, and takes 
another, final sip, setting her glass down on the table.
Benden Weyr> Kenai aaags. Antler?
Ursa gets dragged, bewildered, along with Maarie. "You're talking about firelizards??" 
she asks, still trying to catch up with what's going on. "No way," she says. "I'm outta 
here." And makes a move to go, struggling against Maarie's restraining hand.
Benden Weyr> Ryialla pokes. Hush.
Benden Weyr> Kenai giggles. :) OK.
K'tyn wanders right up close, sitting down with his bottle of amber liquid and 'rolls. 
He looks with anticpation at the sand. He grins, rubbing his hands: "Ooh! Eggies!"
Jehrina rubs her eyes, "It's alright, Ryi."
Ryialla nods, and collars the drudge who's cleaning the glows. "Meat. Go fetch meat."
Jaki takes off hat as a sign of respect
Kethran strides in from the bowl.
Jehrina makes her way over to a shelf, and pulls down a set of hides. Occasionally her 
eyes flicker over to the rocking eggs.
The drudge shuffles out, coming back a few minutes later with a large meat tray.
Kassima grins at Thera. "I'm naught if nay predictable on some matters, cousin," is her 
reply. She cradles the mug of cider in her hands to warm them, only taking an occasional 
sip from it. "Think Quiq and Zazz would like a companion?"
Kethran wanders into the records room with a glass of brandy in his hand, and settles 
down next to K'tyn, who has the full bottle. "So what's... oh," he says, as he spots the 
eggs. From his shoulder, Randival /crooOOoons/ at Shar.
Maarie keeps a firm hand on Ursa, "If you don't try to feed'em, you won't Impress. Just 
don't get caught with meat in your hand and you'll be fine."
Ryialla eyes the meat tray. Plenty of meat. Lots of meat. Looks like the drudge managed 
to convince Salless lots of meat was good.
Thera chuckles. "They've been trying to haul me to hatchings ever since we graduated."
(OOC) Ryialla drops OOC to do da rules thing.
Ursa eyes the meat tray as well, inching away from it. "Hokay," she shrugs resignedly.
Jiriel politely shifts over to allow people to get closer, keeping one cautious eye on 
his hides tucked away in the shelf and the children going near them.
(OOC) Ryialla drops the colon, too. :) Anywho. This is an IC hatching. Please keep the 
OOC spam stuff out of it. It's the standard one pose per hatchling pose, and yes, your 
poses do count.
Jehrina smiles slightly at Mehlani, and then turns her attention back to a hide, 
frowning and wrinkling her nose at it.
(OOC) Ryialla isn't going to be too fussy about how many firelizards you have, or 
anything like that. Please keep from 'thinking thoughts of love and etc' to the 
firelizards. They don't get that. :)
Mehlani sits down quietly where Maarie has made room for her. Knowing what's going on 
here, she places Callie in her lap, but keeps the cat nearby even as the furry creature 
peers with curiosity at the clutch.
Thera reaches down, and shoos away her bronzes.
K'tyn refills his glass with another two finger's width of brandy; he offers the bottle 
to anyone else who wants it, though his eyes wander to the sandy pile of eggs that are 
clustered nearby.
(OOC) Ryialla scratches her head. Anything else? Oh yeah, when you Impress, please 
please please write down the info ASAP. I have to nuke this thing ASAP. At any rate..
Benden Weyr> Thera grins. we're a bunch of alkies.
Benden Weyr> K'tyn grins, yup, tonight we are.:)
End of Quest Egg shudders once, and then is still.
Jehrina peers at the snifter, blows her hair out of her face, and drops a chart on the 
table in front of her.
Kethran grins at K'tyn, and holds out his glass. "What is it with you and firelizards?" 
he wonders, nudging the bronzerider. He, too, carefully avoids the meat tray.
Lenina strides in from the bowl.
Ursa taps her toe impatiently while she reclines against a table. "So how many of those 
d'ya got already, Maarie?"
Shar increases her humming to a very loud level, so much that it fills the room.
Kenai folds herself cross-legged onto the floor,cradling her mug on one knee as she 
watches the eggs.
Mehlani studies Kethran and K'tyn, and then says gravely, "He's probably like Father and 
will have lots of fire lizards, because he's a bronz rider."
Maarie gladly embraces the contents of the meat tray and grins to Ursa, "Oh, prolly two 
to each of Zuseth's neckridges." She selects a few juicy pieces and decides to sit on 
the floor next to Mehlani.
Jehrina chuckles softly, looking up at Ryialla, "I thought Leilanth was a loudmouth."
Benden Weyr> F'hlan eyes Maarie. You're setting up for something, aren't you.
Lenina peeks her head through the doorway, then sneaks in quietly behind one of Benden's 
residents.
Totem Egg rocks violently, and down the side of a tiny sand hill, where it bumps into 
another egg.
Benden Weyr> F'hlan considers coming over there, but fears setting foot in that room 
with 21 eggs about to hatch. ;)
Benden Weyr> Maarie blinks innocently.
K'tyn grins at Kethran and Mehlani. "I like 'em," he says simply. "Dunno if that's 
because I happen to ride a bronze dragon or what."
Kassima settles beside Thera and eyes K'tyn's bottle with interest, then glances down at 
her cider and dismisses the thought. She shifts her attention to the bucket filled with 
sand and eggs. "Been trying to drag you, have they, coz? I suppose they'd likely 
appreciate some greens to keep them company, at that."
Ryialla grins. "Shar's not afraid to voice her opinions at all.
Ursa starts, "Two for every..." she fades off, nodding to herself while apparently 
counting mentally. "Two to each?"
Kethran smiles at Mehlani. "True," he admits. "Something about bronze-riders seems to 
attract 'em. Me, I've got too many as it is, with just this one," he says, scritching 
the humming bronze on his shoulder affectionately.
Jehrina smirks, "As if Leilanth is one who tends to be quiet?"
Thera shakes her head. "Yeah, i think they envy your harem you've built up Kassi."
Maarie thinks this over, "I'm not sure about that. I just know it gets crowded a good 
share of the time, Ursa."
Jiriel tries counting the eggs, mouth silently forming each number, and eventually asks, 
"That's alot of eggs, isn't it?"
Mehlani bobs her head sagely, and leans down slightly to murmur to her cat, as Callie 
starts at the noise of the eggs rocking.
Benden Weyr> Kassima gives Maarie a discreet way-to-go signal, then grins at F'hlan. 
They can feel your fear, F'hlan... they know what scares you... oops, got lapsed into 
Are You Afraid of the Dark mode for a sec.
Totem Egg cracks open in a crisp, clean pattern, and out of the shell comes..
As the shell cracks open, this green strides forth, only to stand still a moment later. 
She swivels her head from side to side, taking in all that's happening around her and 
mentally stroing it away, while fixing a baleful gaze on the crowd. She keeps her wings 
firmly furled against her body, and takes another step forward before stopping and 
sweeping the room again. She is nearly the equal of a small blue in size, with a 
sagebrush green hide that looks to have been dusted with streaks of a steel blue color. 
Both her fore and back paws are a dark navy blue, nearly black in color. As she finally 
unfurls her wings, you can see distinct stripes of the steel blue running horizontally 
across the lighter green of the wing. Eyes whirling red with hunger, she abruptly struts 
toward the nearest person, demanding to be fed, NOW.
Jehrina looks down at the first hatching, looks as Mehlani, and states, "Good thing your 
father is probably asleep."
Ryialla nods to Jiriel.
Mehlani says wisely, "He's writing in his journal."
Thera reaches up, and takes her glass down from the table. She swirls the liquid in it 
slowly, and contemplates this new fresh green, so much smaller then her own. Reaching 
forward with a sliver of meat, she waggles and dances the end of it to attract the 
steely strong beauty.
Lenina eyes the green consideringly, then nods her head sagely. "You look like you've 
got spunk." Obviously a good thing, because she holds meat out in her fingertips.
Kethran nods quietly to Mehlani, and says solemnly, "It's good that he's preserving his 
wisdom for future generations."
K'tyn munches on a 'roll, then grins at the little green lovely who's just hatched. He 
offers her a bit of 'roll to tempt her appetite.
Maarie chuckles, meat hanging limply from her hand, "Well, hee better wait until things 
are done here to wrap up his entry then."
No-Nonsense Blued Green Hatchling strides forward to the edge of the basket, and regards 
everyone with a steely gaze.
Benden Weyr> F'hlan peers at the first green, and fails to grasp the Northern Exposurely 
aspects of her. :)
Benden Weyr> K'tyn hms, who is this little green? Not Maggie...
Waterfall Egg rocks slightly.
Jaki holds out a little peice of meat tenatively to the little green lizard
Benden Weyr> Ryialla says, "Officer Syzmanski."
Jehrina nods at Mehlani, "That's good. Still having headaches?"
Jiriel looks slightly taken aback at this determined young hatchling, but holds some 
meat out... kind of like he's afraid *not* to. "Uh, here you go..."
Benden Weyr> K'tyn LOL! :)
Benden Weyr> Kenai laughs!
Benden Weyr> Thera giggles....cool :)
Kassima snorts. "My greens don't quite constitute a harem, Thera, nay when the males 
outnumber them three to one or more...." She hrms at the appearance of the young green, 
arching one eyebrow at her. "Interesting demeanor that one's got." Kassi acquires 
herself a handful of meat and twists one scrap around her finger idly while she watches.
Ursa scooches backwards a little as the eggs begin to erupt. She hops up onto the table 
behind her and sits there, swinging her legs, watching the half-drunks waving meat 
around with a bemused grin.
K'tyn grins at the green, still offering his freshly baked 'roll at her. "Here, love. 
Come eat, okay?"
If Kethran has made a joke to her, Mehlani doesn't show that she sensed it; to Jehrina, 
the young girl shakes her head, but clarifies, "Not in two months." As her feline leaps 
up in her lap, entranced by the fluttering thing, Mehlani yelps and with a small scold, 
nudges the cat out of the way. "You can't have her, silly!"
Jaki takes another peice of meet and holds it out for the beautiful little blue green 
hatchling
Benden Weyr> F'hlan aah. :)
Maarie knocks Ursa's swinging boots about, "You won't impress any from way up there, 
silly." She stretches out her arm, hoping to catch the green in passing.
No-Nonsense Blued Green Hatchling snorts. Well, this is a sorry looking lot. She cocks 
her head, sensing movement. She looks at the feline, and bugles, once. Cease and desist.
Lenina wriggles her meat at the little green some more. "Save a lot of fuss. Come and 
eat."
Kethran peers at the meat, and then shakes his head to K'tyn. "No thanks. I prefer my 
meat cooked."
Jehrina takes another glance at the hides, shakes her head, and puts them away. "Too 
much noise anyway." She walks over to perch on the edge of the table next to URsa, 
squeezing Mehlani's shuolder gently on the way past. "Good. He's much more reasonable 
when he's not having a headache."
Jaki studies the little blue green hatchling in amazement
Ursa laughs suddenly, her low, rumbling laughter, her boot gently nudging Maarie back. 
"That's the point."
Kenai smothers a laughs at keth's comment, watching the bossy little green.
Mehlani gives Jehrina a very tiny giggle and holds on tightly to Callie, who meows 
annoyedly at being forbidden to go inspect the fluttering toything.
Benden Weyr> Jehrina got Mehlani to giggle. Oh my. :)
Benden Weyr> F'hlan says, "It's 'cause you made a funny, Weyrwoman dear. :) Or at least 
one 'Lani understood."
K'tyn grins at Kethran. "Tis a meatroll, Keth; see?" He eats the bit of roll, crunching 
it. He winks, then breaks off another bit of roll and offers it to the tiny green.
Benden Weyr> Jehrina grins.
Film Noir Egg shivers, and a tiny crack appears on the edge of the shell.
Benden Weyr> F'nar gets this funny craving. For Spaghetti-O's.
Jehrina grins down at Mehlani, and then watches the antics.
Kassima grins at Kiat. "Amazing how someone can go through their whole life without 
learning to recognize a meatroll," she teases Keth.
Thera laughs at Kassi's statment. "And be a steward, no less."
Benden Weyr> Kenai ponders her typist's propensity to add an 's' on the end of every 
noun. :P
No-Nonsense Blued Green Hatchling hears a crunch sound. Where's that coming from? She 
hops up on the edge of the basket, and crouches low, swiveling her head from side to 
side. She hops off, and starts toward the noise. It must be investiagted, after all.
End of Quest Egg crazes with cracks, and explodes into myriad pieces, revealing...
This smallish brown is a deep sienna color - so deep in places it appears to be almost 
black. Lighter streaks of brown are visible on his belly, and both eyes are encircled 
with a faint line of a pale tan, making the little fellow look like he's wearing 
glasses. For the longest time, he merely sits by his shell, making tiny chirps and soft 
trills as he watches everyone. His comments must have some sort of a deep meaning, since 
he looks so serious while saying..well, whatever it is he's saying. He continues this 
running commentary for awhile without making a move towards any of the food..then tilts 
his head and regards the offerings solemnly as hunger gets the better of him.
Benden Weyr> F'nar wonders if Kenai's typist is just (get ready, it's a stinker) 
possessive.
Benden Weyr> Ryialla @baps F'nar.
Benden Weyr> Kenai hehs. No, a pluralist. :)
Benden Weyr> Kassima laughs!
K'tyn grins at the green, noting her attraction to the sound of his own eating. He takes 
another bite of the meatroll, his eyes dancing. "Com'n'eat," he calls, his mouth a bit 
full.
Benden Weyr> Ursa laughs! Love this guy, Ryi :)
Jiriel sighs with some relief as he catches sight of the newest arrival. "This little 
guy seems more like my sort of firelizard." He tries to ignore the green, and instead 
jiggles meat in the brown's direction.
Benden Weyr> F'hlan awwws at the brown.
Benden Weyr> F'hlan bets that's Chris.
Benden Weyr> Ryialla says, "Good guess. :)"
Benden Weyr> Kenai grins, and agrees.
Benden Weyr> K'tyn LOL! Got it, too.:) good descing, Ryi!
Benden Weyr> F'nar ows at Ryi.
Maarie tugs on Ursa's pantleg with one hand and waves her meat filled hand to indicate 
the brown hatchling, "Don't you think Spineth would just love to have a smaller 
counterpart?"
Jaki watches Jiriel intenly as he tries to feed the little lizard
Antler Egg shudders. There is a faint tap-tap-tap coming from inside it's shell.
Ursa pushes Maarie's meat filled hand away from her quickly. "Shells, no, that's the 
last thing I need hanging around my weyr," she protests.
Jehrina rolls her eyes at Maarie, "You really think having a firelizard that's got a 
personality to match your dragon is a good thing? At least you can reason with a 
dragon." A pause, "Sometimes."
Lenina frowns with a hint of impatience at the green. "Here's some food for you. Right 
here."
Thera sips at her glass, and waggles the meat she holds around. "Wherry's very good for 
you, promise brown." She grins at the wee hatchling, a bit hazyily, and leans forward, 
coaxing her food closer to the hatchlings.
Mehlani looks from grownup to grownup thoughtfully, as she continues to hang onto her 
pet.
Ursa looks at Jehrina, laughing suddenly again at the comment.
Jaki waves the peice of meat to see if it will catch anyones attention
Maarie winks up at Jehrina, "I never ever said *I* thought it was a good thing. Shards, 
when Zuseth get's my 'lizards going my piece of mind goes with it." She continues to 
wave the meat filled hand gesturingly.
No-Nonsense Blued Green Hatchling pauses, and considers. Food does sound tempting. 
Perhaps she could pause to eat, just a little..
Benden Weyr> F'hlan thinks that, given the level of flits and alcohol in that room, it's 
a darned good thing he's not in there. :)
Benden Weyr> Maarie giggles.
Benden Weyr> K'tyn grins at F'hlan, and agrees! :)
No-Nonsense Blued Green Hatchling makes up her mind, and strides over to someone.
Benden Weyr> Kenai laughs.
Jaki directs the slow waving of food toward the blue green lizard
No-Nonsense Blued Green Hatchling stumbles towards K'tyn.
Thera winces as Quiq nips at her ear. She tilts her head, and mutters, "I don't care if 
you don't want a brown, and that Zazz is bad enough, shards, you like him most days, i 
don't wanna hear it..."
Kassima chuckles wryly and smiles at Thera. "G'luck," she says, her own glance 
flickering towards the green and K'tyn. "Felicitations, Kiat!"
Philosophical Sienna Brown Hatchling pauses in his narration to look around. 
Something..just isn't right. What could it be?
Benden Weyr> F'hlan whees for K'tyn. :) Upholding the fine tradition of impressing 
greens. ;)
Antler Egg shudders, then cracks in half.
This small firelizard is the color of the sky at midnight - a blue so deep as to be 
almost black. Lighter streaks of blue are visible on his belly, and both eyes are 
encircled with a faint line of cornflower blue, making the little fellow look like he's 
wearing glasses. For the longest time, he merely sits by his shell, making tiny chirps 
and soft trills as he watches everyone. His comments must have some sort of a deep 
meaning, since he looks so serious while saying..well, whatever it is he's saying. He 
continues this running commentary for awhile without making a move towards any of the 
food..then tilts his head and regards the offerings solemnly as hunger gets the better 
of him.
K'tyn gathers the little green close, feeding her as much of the 'rolls as she wants. He 
grins at Ryialla, and thanks both her and her green.
Benden Weyr> K'tyn yays! I got one! :)
Benden Weyr> F'nar changes machines, brb.
Benden Weyr> Kassima is suddenly reminded of a fisherman who's just pulled a fish onto 
his boat. I got one! Well, I guess this is sorta like fishing. :)
Kenai grins over at K'tyn.
Philosophical Midnight Blue Hatchling walks away from his shell, and almost right into 
the brown. He chitters apologies.
Jehrina reaches over, and picks a meatroll out of K'tyn's pocket as he helps the 
hatchling. She idly munches on a corner of it, and then rests her hand on her knee, 
forgetting the 'roll still in her grasp.
Thera glances up at K'tyn. "Congrats!"
Jiriel studies the little brown for a moment, smile playing round his mouth. "You seem a 
little more nicer." And he wriggles the meat in his direction.
K'tyn grins, "She's adorable, isn't she?" He turns away from the crowd to cuddle quietly 
with the tiny one.
Philosophical Sienna Brown Hatchling chitters back, at the same exact time, then stops, 
and looks at the blue. He cheeps once.
Jaki waves a peice of meat in the dark bles hatchlings direction
Benden Weyr> Thera gets it, and dies ryi! LOLOLOLOL!
Kassima mmms appreciatively at the rambling hatchling. "Never seen such a thoughtful 
blabbermouth," she mutters to Thera with a quirked grin, unwinding the meat scrap from 
her finger and dangling it within the blue's line of sight.
Benden Weyr> F'hlan peers. Another Chris-based flit?
Thera quickly fishes into her pouch, and hauls out another piece of meat, to dangle for 
the blue, the other hand waving to attract the brown still. "Come on dears, you must 
eat."
Lenina harumphs at the green's defection, but is soon diverted by the blue and shows the 
meat she's holding to him. "This could be all yours..."
Benden Weyr> Ursa can't remember Chris's brother's name.
Maarie watches the comedy unfolding between the blue and brown, laughing softly, "Those 
two would never know we were in the room if their stomachs didn't kick in."
Benden Weyr> Ryialla says, "Bernard."
Benden Weyr> Thera giggles....no, well, yeah..you hadta watch the show :)
Philosophical Midnight Blue Hatchling looks puzzled for a moment, and then goes into a 
conference with the brown. A moment later, he lets out the most surprised chirp you've 
ever heard.
Benden Weyr> Kenai giggles. Good grief...
Benden Weyr> F'hlan smacks his head, okay. :)
Ursa drawls to Maarie, "All the better." She can's seem to say anything nice, here.
Benden Weyr> F'hlan sees his housemate go, "DUH!" and grin.
Jehrina breaks off a bit of her 'roll, tosses it in the hatchling's general direction, 
and then munches on another part of it herself.
Benden Weyr> F'hlan falls over laughing at the blue's pose.
Jaki looking sorta confused at what just happened holds out the meat again "come on 
little guys ya need to eat"
Benden Weyr> Thera giggles helplessly. This just made my night so much better.
Benden Weyr> F'hlan also counts heads. 12 people, 21 eggs... umm....
Philosophical Sienna Brown Hatchling warbles happily, and continues to talk to the blue, 
even as they make their way to the edge of the basket, and out. He doesn't even mind the 
short fall. He just gets up and continues walking.
Benden Weyr> Ryialla will see if anyone else shows up. :)
Benden Weyr> F'hlan says, "Don't make me come in there and rescue my daughter from some, 
some, some, atchling! ;)"
Benden Weyr> Ursa says, "21 eggs is an awful lotta work, Ryi!"
Benden Weyr> Ryialla says, "Labor of love, guys. :)"
Jaki scatches head "I wonder what they are communicating about?"
Benden Weyr> Ursa idles.
Benden Weyr> K'tyn laughs at the brown and blue.:) too cool, Ryi!
Jiriel leans forward a little more, eyes following the little brown every step of the 
way. "Here." he whispers. "Food."
Opulence Egg shudders once, and is still.
Kassima shakes her head in disbelief. "Well," she finally quips to no one in particular, 
"you can certainly tell they're sibs." Twirling the meat between her fingertips, she 
watches the blue with a faint smile.
Jaki says "lookes over at the Opulence egg in anticipation"
Benden Weyr> Kenai laughs at Kassi.
Thera sets down her meat from one hand for a fraction of a second so she can take a sip 
of wine, but then regains her position, offering meat to any flit who'd come her way.
Ziaran strides in from the bowl.
Philosophical Midnight Blue Hatchling stops in front of a girl, and looks over to the 
brown. Chirp?
Philosophical Sienna Brown Hatchling regards the girl solemnly. Yes, she'll do. Chirp.
Ziaran blinksblinks at the eggs, herb pouch in hand.
Benden Weyr> Kassima snugs Ryi. :) They're wonderful! I don't know the show, but the 
descs are fabulous. "Oooh, F'hlan, do! Come rescue Mehlani from the hatchlings! 
Especially the green ones!" ;)
Both firelizards suddenly converge on poor Thera.
Philosophical Midnight Blue Hatchling stumbles towards Thera.
Philosophical Sienna Brown Hatchling stumbles towards Thera.
Benden Weyr> Kenai snerks! :)
Waterfall Egg tumbles into another egg, and neatly cracks open, depositing a small 
firelizard on the sands.
This green is a faded olive color, with thin lines of grey threading their way across 
her wings. She moves with slow, deliberate steps, taking her own sweet time about 
getting away from the remnants of her shell. She knows -excatly- what she wants, and, by 
gum, she'll get it, too. She stumbles over a shard from another egg. When she recovers 
her balance, she starts squawking at it, giving the poor thing a piece of her mind. She 
reminds you of an old, crochety aunt, down to the disdainful sniff she gives the shard 
as she finishes her tirade and walks away from it and toward the food.
Jaki laughs "congrats thera they like you"
Lenina sighs at the twittering two firelizards, "Shells, never saw a firelizard who 
talked before eating before."
Jehrina giggles, "Surprise, Thera."
Thera giggles. "Oh oh oh my....come 'ere dear's, you must be starving."
Ziaran sits down quietly and quickly, going through his bag for fresh meats.
Maarie cranes her head to pout up at Ursa, "You could at least come sit down here so I 
don't get a krick in my neck every time I try to talk to you." The meat hangs limply 
from her hand, "Like I said, if you don't feed them you don't...." her head looks over 
at the mild commotion and she grins in Thera's direction.
Benden Weyr> Ryialla giggles evilly.
K'tyn grins at Thera, "There ya go!"
Benden Weyr> Kethran fires off an angry letter to Corel customer service. And starts 
looking around for the upgrade program to Adobe Illustrator.
Benden Weyr> Kenai oos- which Corel?
Thera laughs, and scoops the brown and blue up smiling, moving back into the shadows to 
feed them quietly.
Kassima laughs and grins at Thera. "Congrats! Sheesh, coz... 'tween those two and your 
bronzes, you'll nay have any ears left. They'll talk them off!"
Benden Weyr> Thera hugs Ryi :)
Dream Egg rocks violently from the tapping of the firelizard trying to get free.
Benden Weyr> F'nar suggests you look in /dev/null, Keth.
Jiriel looks just a little crestfallen for a moment, but rallies himself to look at the 
next green and blurts out, "Oh dear!" as it starts kicking it's shell.
Jaki lookes at the Dream Egg wondering what it will look like when hatched
Benden Weyr> Kethran says, "CorelDraw. It just ate another one of my files. Attempting 
to load it cause an Invalid Page Fault."
Benden Weyr> Kethran takes this to page, sorry.
Benden Weyr> K'tyn lol at the green. OOH!
Crochety Faded Olive Green Hatchling slowly makes her way to the edge of the bucket. She 
looks around and considers. She really should be minding her shell, but it's such a 
lovely day..
Lenina snickers at the new green, and promptly offers her some meat.
Kethran grins as he watches the hatchlings -- and K'tyn, of course. "You're silly when 
you get around hatchlings, Kiat. You know that?"
Ziaran glances around, eyes wide, watching the commotion.
Dream Egg shimmers, seeming almost to undulate upon the sands before shattering neatly 
around this hatchling.
Hunter green in color, this hatchling has greeny-gold pinstripes running down the sides 
of her hide, and very faint stripes in her wings. She takes one look around the loosely 
gathered circle, folds her wings into her body, and digs her claws into the sand. She's 
not moving until she is good and ready to move, and nothing or nobody will make her 
change her mind. Even though the scent of the food wafts around her, she absolutely 
refuses to budge.
Mehlani looks up at K'tyn as Kethran address him.
Jaki waves food at the green lizard "come on you know you want some food"
Jehrina grimaces. "At least they seem smarter than Flitterby."
Benden Weyr> F'hlan aighs at the green count rising in that room.
Jaki says "don't you want to try just a little?""
K'tyn looks up, a movement on the sandy pile catching his eye. With a grin, he puts a 
'roll in Kethran's hand. "Silly, hm? Give that to one of those green darlings, and we'll 
see who's silly."
Dark eyebrows go up with some surprise as Kassima regards the grey-green. "Now why," she 
muses, "does that youngling remind me of someone...?" She glances towards the hunter 
green and takes a moment to admire her, but then jiggles her meat scrap in what she 
probably intends to be an enticing fashion towards the elder of the two.
Stubborn Pinstriped Green Hatchling sits there. I don't want to move. You can't make me 
move. I won't move. It isn't fair. Why should be have to move, if we don't want to? Just 
because -men- want us to be around doing things.
Jiriel hmmms. "Okay, maybe I'm going to regret this, but - " He holds his strip of meat 
out again, but closer to the quieter green.
Benden Weyr> K'tyn wants all of them, yup. Two more of my favorite characters! :0
Thera chuckles, looking up at the Weyrwoman, nestling her two new hatchlings close, much 
to Quiq and Zazz'z momentary dismay. "That one you always had spying on us? Ummm...well, 
that was around alot?"
Benden Weyr> F'hlan lets K'tyn Impress all the greens. But...
Jaki says "you don't have to do anything you don't want to but wouldn't you like to 
eat?"
Crochety Faded Olive Green Hatchling turns her head, and warbles soothingly. I know, 
dear, I know.
Ziaran grins, watching the Greens warble to each other.
F'hlan strides in from the bowl.
Benden Weyr> Thera is cracking up...boy, i miss this show!
Benden Weyr> K'tyn giggles madly. SO is /staring/ at me.:) But, F'hlan? :)
Benden Weyr> Kassima begins to regret having never seen it. :)
Jehrina tosses another tiny bit of 'roll in the direction of the eggs. "Yes Thera, that 
one. She doesn't understand much. Stay. On. Perch. is about as complicated as she gets."
F'hlan comes stepping into the records room, beginning, "'Lani, did you find..." And he 
freezes.
Kethran blinks at K'tyn, but then shrugs, chuckling softly, as he holds his meatroll out 
quietly, shaking his head. "Jays... Kiat, you want me to end up with a green? Randival 
wouldn't leave her alone!"
Benden Weyr> Kenai has to admit a reluctant liking for that show, yupyup... I miss it. 
:)
Maarie yanks on Ursa's pantleg again, "And look at that one just sitting in the bucket! 
She looks about as willing to participate in all this as you are!" She lets the meat 
dangle from her fingers for any passing 'lizards.
Benden Weyr> Jehrina says, "I've seen your SO K'tyn. Give hom some paste and tell him to 
mix vanilla in and hush. ;)"
Stubborn Pinstriped Green Hatchling still refused to budge. She chirps back, angrily. No 
man is going to get her to move. She is woman, hear her bugle. And she bugles.
Lenina taps one foot rather obviously as she holds out the meat with one hand, other on 
her hip. "Here you go, little green."
Benden Weyr> Jehrina whaps her typist.
