It was a mild, but wet evening that Authanth decided it was time to lay the clutch that she was carrying. The gold had been hanging out in the hatching sands since the day that she had arrived at Izuko, 'inspecting it' she had said every time that Taenia had questioned her, and whenever Taenia went to see her, herself, the gold had large mounds of sand shuffled around.. it had looked a bit of a mess, like a pig searching for truffles, if truffles were to exist on pern.
Unsurprisingly, the gold hadn't mentioned her intentions to anyone at all, and because she had spent so much time in the sands, no one suspected that was what she had been doing..
Taenia had been sat in her and mac's weyr, spending a little bit of time with the man she loved so much, they hadn't had much time together since the move had started, and although there was still a long way to go before they moved completely.. Taenia was still thankful for the little bit of time they had together.
...She'd been uncomfortable and irriated, finding it hard to sit still for long for the past candlemark, and had put it down to the baby she carried, she was just reaching her fourth month now, and was a lot larger than she expected, still small enough to remain hidden.. as they still hadn't gotten around to telling anyone. But large enough for there to be no doubt of her condition in her and mac's mind.
...it was after a few candlemarks after that uncomfortable feeling started that she felt something else, the need to hiss at the pain that was clearly not her own..and found herself doing just that without much explination. She jumped up then, from her space on the furs where she had been trying to sit still, to look like she was about the move fast. It was only open her realisation that she would have alarmed Mac that she explained. "Authanth's Clutching" She said, excitment dancing in her eyes as she explained. "Thats what all this has been about!" She exclaimed, feeling a lot happier she now knew this wasn't a issue with their own child.
"Come on!" She said, reaching for his hand, hoping to pull him along with her, she wanted to be on the sands with her gold before the news flashed around and everyone got there..
The got there first, nine eggs of different sizes littered around the hatching sands, looking tiny in the great massive cavern that was bigger than the one they had had in Igen. The eggs appeared half burried in the craters that they sat in. The gold appeared relaxed and Taenia suspected that this was all of her eggs. A very small clutch, not really what they needed right now, but every single dragon was another help..
