[She picks up one of the lightning eggs (a little awkward, since it's twice the size of her head) and peers inside -- and, yes, that is definitely a tiny lizardy thing floating in the very center.]
[He cups his egg and lifts it up... then wheezes out a sigh.]
I'm not cut out for this.
[The egg glows a little more brightly where he's touching it, and a few tiny flames lick up from its surface. He almost drops it in surprise, but he catches himself.]
no subject
[She's not looking directly at him, now.]
And you, too.
When did you get yours?
no subject
...first time I tried to get out. Few months in.
no subject
So he made sure you'd be returned to him.
[She fingers her own mark gently.]
...you tried to get out. More than once.
[She sounds...almost impressed.]
no subject
[He sighs, reaching to the bed stand for a pack of cigs almost unconsciously.]
Wrong on both accounts.
[He pats the drawer down for a pack and
almost knocks an egg off the bed in the process]
1/2
[--she lunges to the side to steady the egg and pull it further onto the bed.]
Oi. Be more careful with those, they...
no subject
Ah.
[...touches. one of the eggs. Electricity plays against her fingers like she's touching a plasma globe.]
Red?
no subject
What...
[He edges away from the LIGHTNING EGG, bumping up against the one he was cuddling in his sleep earlier.
Probably because it's super warm and toasty.]
...The hell?!
no subject
...
I think we may have had a nest.
[She picks up one of the lightning eggs (a little awkward, since it's twice the size of her head) and peers inside -- and, yes, that is definitely a tiny lizardy thing floating in the very center.]
no subject
...
[He happens to glance at one of the bitemarks on his arm and suddenly IT ALL COMES FLOODING BACK.
He picks up the warm egg and regards it uncertainly. There's a definite living glow from that one, too.]
Like........ kids?
[I AM NOT READY TO BE A DRAGONDAD]
no subject
...kids.
[STARES...]
...I'm not prepared for this.
no subject
Maybe
when they hatch they can just be released into the wild or somethin.
I mean
They're. Dragons. Right?
[dad of the year right here]
no subject
[She's still touching the lightning egg. Somehow it's soothing.]
I don't know what to do with them either, though.
[She ponders this for a moment.]
I wonder if Fubuki's here.
no subject
Fubuki?
[i can't remember if obsidian ever introduced himself as anything but another kaiser lol]
Eh.... Since these things are just... temporary, maybe they'll disappear too.
no subject
[...disappear?]
Maybe.
[She sounds weirdly. offended, at the idea, though.
why is she getting attached]
no subject
[He sounds a bit incredulous. flying around in the ridic red-eyes costume doesn't count]
Yeah... I mean... that'd probably be best.
[His warm orangey egg is a lot smaller than Kaiserin's and it's just kind of sitting in his lap :T ]
Maybe they're not even real. Just this place fuckin with us some more.
no subject
[She glances at Red's egg, then back to her own.]
...they look real to me.
[When she pulls her hand away from hers, it comes away with a short burst of static that's briefly visible in the dim room.]
And feel real.
no subject
I mean... I guess so, but...
[but i'm a weenie]
[He cups his egg and lifts it up... then wheezes out a sigh.]
I'm not cut out for this.
[The egg glows a little more brightly where he's touching it, and a few tiny flames lick up from its surface. He almost drops it in surprise, but he catches himself.]
I don't know anything about kids! ... Or dragons!
no subject
[She looks over at him, out of the corner of her eye.]
...maybe they'll bite our enemies.
