Cloud Burst! {Razorclaw Hatching}

[Ember]

Iskierka felt a little lost, having people quite obviously fighting over her. If only for a moment, because X'rx quickly loosened up when she explained the relationship between her and Sena. That and the candidate had just gotten herself one of the little babies and Iskierka actually sighed. She muttered something that sounded a little like "never going to be quiet again" but her second attachment quickly left her too.

The bluerider shook her head in disbelief as she watched the greenrider drift off to another male...well, male as far as their draconic partners went. She shoved away the minor posessiveness she felt courtesy of Ioth with ease and moved towards Sena and the Candidatemaster. It was either deal with a mildly annoying child of Gawain's or try and do damage control for any of X'rx's proddy green related antics. Neither were particularly appealing but the latter was especially not. She came up behind Sena though her footfalls ought to be loud enough not to startle her.

"What are you going to name it?" Iskierka quietly asked her niece. She herself nearly started when Gawain, having said his farewells to his mate, landed neatly on her shoulder with a greeting cree-eet. He didn't often perch on Iskierka herself but there was little else for him to perch on at that moment. Besides, they'd be leaving the area once his chick was fed, no?

X'rx straighened fully, his eyes flashing with something very close to pure hatred for the albinorider. He hadn't expected an overwhelmingly good response. Of course not. Everyone seemed to act surprised or, at best, merely humored him. (And part of him was aware of how big a fool he made of himself right before Eveyth's flights; he was always mortified afterwards when the green's influence finally left him.) Fighting it was futile for him, though. He found himself mimicking Eve's actions on a normal basis if he didn't concentrate firmly on what he was doing, so in any heightened state it was purely impossible to fully control himself.

But it wasn't just the anger of a proddy green behind the man's eyes now. Being treated like that at all, for any reason, was enough to make the greenrider start wishing terrible things on Er'ani. He stood stiffly as all three brushed past, then leaned against L'am. "Bitch," he commented, with a good deal of venom. Referring to the albinorider, though it may be a bit difficult to tell. He glanced at the bluerider. "You like me, though, don't you?" he questioned, carressing the man's jaw.

That was when he noticed just the faintest of sensations, his eyes drawn toward the nest and a little ball of fluff that was trying very hard to leave it. His mother wasn't letting him, though. She made that odd sound and X'rx just knew, somehow, that despite being way over here that razorclaw babe was meant for him. And he wasn't at all sure if he was happy about that. Nevertheless, he tugged lightly on L'am's sleeve.

"Even the newborn razorclaw is smarter than that bitch. Want to come see him?" Him? It just felt like a him. The greenrider didn't wait for an answer because he didn't want to distress mom and baby, if only because distressed pets usually made for fights between owners. Tch. X'rx came to the nest and, glancing at the mother, collected his striped bird carefully in his arms. "Griffin, you think? That's a good name for him." Griffin creed, and X'rx wrinkled his nose. "How do you even feed these things?"
