[ The feed starts out a little dark, honestly. But one can definitely hear the heavy breathing of some sort of creature. ]

Come on, girl, you have to let me out sometime.

[ Light suddenly shines through and one can see Claude's hand pushing up a large wing and exposing the vast expanse of white scale. ]

Apparently she thinks that I also need to stay in her nest. You'd think we've gone back in time where she had just been a baby and me a kid spending nights in the aery together. That's not what this is about though.

[ The camera pans to Khalid, who gives a little wave before pointing back to his wyvern. A white wyvern in a nest, wrapped around two eggs. Claude is still holding a wing up so that he can catch sight of his best friend. The wyvern just releases a little groan and a huff. ]

She had them just the other day. Chances are if you don't see me for a while it's because of these little guys. I'd hunt down anyone who cursed me with this luck, but how can I be upset seeing at how pleased she is? What a proud mother.

Congrats on the new eggs.

[HE TOLD YOU SO.]

[deepstar]

I still blame you. You spoke this into existence. Be warned you might have to take some accountability.

[sunsetking]

I told you it could happen. No need to be like that.

[deepstar]

You did, sure, but I think you increased the chances.

Oh, wow, is it dragon mating time? The dragons belonging to my crewmates had eggs recently, too.

[deepstar]

So it was, over a month ago. I only noticed a change in her behavior patterns the last couple of weeks. Personally, I didn't think that her new friend would be compatible.

[refantasma]

Like a hybrid?

Nature is more resilient than people give it credit.

[deepstar]

I'm not sure if the hatchlings will be quite like that. The "father" had still been a wyvern, just from here and not where I'm from.

In the end, I don't mind really. It's not like I need her ready for battle at any moment's notice.

[The way the large wyvern seems overprotective of her rider puts Ambrosia and Clive to mind. Surely if Ambrosia's wings were large enough to tuck the man under them, she'd do the exact same and the thought of it makes Jill smile.]

Should I assume congratulations are in order?

[deepstar]

[ Thankfully, Claude and his wyvern have been given a spot at The Roost to hunker down in until he's able to leave with mom and kids.

Maybe he should look into a house or something. ]

For now. We still have a while to see if the eggs are actually viable. I assume so, but ah... Don't count your wyverns before they hatch?

[tilfrosset]

[Oh, he's in The Roost? Good luck on not getting picked up like a stray by Cid because that is a thing that happens. Repeatedly.]

Well, I usually don't have any eggs to hatch, much less wyverns, but I understand the notion.

How long is the wait?

[deepstar]

[ Who knows. It might happen! Not like Claude has been recruited yet. ]

Hmmm. About eighty days, usually. Now I don't know if that will still be true, given I don't know what the incubation time for the dragons here is.

[Dragon grandfather... No, he won't say it.]

I see that the delivery went well. I am glad. I believe congratulations are in order.

[deepstar]

Thanks? Is that something I should be thanking people for?

My girl here did all the work. I was just here for emotional support. Aaaand now apparently for additional warmth.

[phoenixdominant]

I would think so. When there is an addition to a family, it usually calls for congratulations and sometimes gifts.

Speaking of, is there anything I might do to help ease your burden?

[deepstar]

Well if you're going to ask... Kind of left a blanket where I was planning on staying. I might need it.

But if you really want to offer congratulations, I think you know what Azita would be all too eager for.

How intriguing. Did she perchance mate with the native dragons or is she able to produce eggs on her own?

[deepstar]

No, no. She didn’t produce them on her own. My girl definitely had help from one of the dragons on Ocard.

[emet_sulk]

How lovely. Will you be taming the hatchlings as well?

[multidisciplinary]

A little souvenir from the Dragon's Gale, I take it?

[deepstar]

Yeah, yeah. My own personal little gift. Or, well, gifts in this case.

[multidisciplinary]

Aren't you lucky?

[ It's as much a tease as it is a sincere sentiment. ]

About how long do wyvern eggs need to incubate before they are ready to hatch?

[withermarked]

We haven't spoken before, but I'm curious--what... manner of thing is she? Still learning about all the creatures here.

[It's not hard to guess 'some kind of dragon' of course, but even that much could be wrong depending on where it's from. And he's not sure beyond that.]

[deepstar]

Well... She's not really from here. Her companion that resulted in these guys is, though.

As for the what, she's a wyvern.

[withermarked]

Wyvern... we don't have those where I'm from. But they've got them here and where you're from?

[That seems strange, but then again, he supposes there are plenty of what he considers regular animals in common.]
