Kali stuck her tongue out at her sullen brother. He’d found one or two eggs and listlessly put them in a basket (a ‘manly colored’ basket at that) and flopped down next to their mother. Baeris and Baelin seemed quite content to just watch as the eggs were finally removed. Kali on the other hand was absoltely intent on finding the ‘good ones’. Whatever that meant…

Alae had been dragged to the Healing Den with less difficulty than she’d ever thought possible to come to a ‘fictional’ place such as this. After all it was deep in the world’s history – or was it offworld’s history? No matter, Shteth had a way with just up and flying off, with her on board, and this was no exception. The first thing she noticed was that there were a good number of people, dragons, and people-sized dragons (…!?) randomly making cheerful noises here and there around the biggest rooms of the Den. She leaned over to someone nearby as they passed, and said, “is there something going on?”
“Oh my yes,” the woman said, “I’m just doing laundry but those folks are hunting for the eggs. There are probably hundreds of em. We don’t know what laid em, and we don’t know what will come out of em. Can’t be big, they’re not much bigger than flit eggs…”
“Oh, well …” Shteth gave a mental prod, and headed up into the dragon’s flight area. It was hard to imagine that this stone and cement place had a dome big enough for full sized dragons to fly… and she wondered if there were also eggs like these out there to look for?

Unlike some others, Tenaso eagerly adopted his humanoid form for this little celebration. He had been curious about all manner of things: why were the eggs here? Was there something else going on? The seasonal celebrations of many worlds had differences and he’d found someone to help sort them out for him. This one was more of a tradition than religion, egg hunting like this. But it was wild fun, and Grilao chirped noisly watching his bond find things. He knew nothing would replace him on Tenaso’s shoulder…
