A light shape came out over the rocks, her green hide moving easily and catching the sun. her rider walked with her. Lilly, the eggs are close to hatching. We should get the young Candidates here." came the greens voice. Lilly nodded. "Soon. Not right away." came her soft voice. The brunnet was beautiful, though she didn't much care.
The green caught sight of a brown and arched her neck a bit, her head and wings suddenly all pretty little arches. Even her steps were lighter, though she pretneded she hadn't noticed the brown. Lilly laughed softly, her dark eyes sparkling a little, as she walked among the beautiful eggs. |

Kalesa had learned early on in her Candidacy that if one were to go through the back entrance and was very quiet in the stands, one could sit in the upper levels and not get caught. The trick was to make no noise, since the Sands had a tendency to echo badly. When she had nothing else to do, or something to escape, Kalesa liked to go up to her semi-secret spot. She didn't know of anyone else who frequented it, and hence it was hers.
It was in the upper corner where Kalesa sat, observing the eggs, the green, and her rider. The eggs really were beautiful, and besides that, it was a chance to get closer before Touching Day. Kalesa figured that she was nineteen, and she hadn't heard of any Impressions past twenty-one. She had two years to Impress, and this clutch was her last chance. The gold that would no doubt (oh, she hoped) hatch from this clutch wouldn't Fly until she was two, and Kalesa would be too old by then.
She sat in silence for a good quarter candlemark before an uncomfortable tingle started in her nose. Kalesa rubbed furiously, but it was no use. She sneezed, loudly, and the sound echoed around the whole of the Sands. And with the Sandsmaster right there, there was no doubt that Kalesa would be caught and thoroughly punished. She hung her head and stood up, then began walking down the steps in preparation to be yelled at.

The green's head came up as the sneeze. Her usually green eyes turning yellow as she looked at the girl. Mine. It's one of the candidates. came the calm voice of the green. Lilly had already seen. "Ah. Hello. Kalesa right?" she asked, her voice easily carrying up to the girl. She stopped by the Flower Egg one of the oddest eggs around. Brown with what looked like tulip patterns. Lilly hadn't said anything but Mirrath swore a queen was in there.
Lilly watched her. "What are you doing, here at this time?" her voice was stern, but she did not act as if she was going to punish the taller woman. |
