Prith had been broody, that was obvious. Ana knew her darling had been egg heavy, long enough to wait for empty Sands. She had been expecting her Starlight to inform her of when she'd Clutch. That was not the case however. Anastasia was thrown off guard when weyrbrats were bounding down the hall from the Kitchens yelling about a Clutching happening.
Ana nearly upset the table she was sitting at as she leapt up, You're Clutching? she cried to her Starlight, who merely rumbled back to her bonded. Anastasia bounded down the halls after the boys in a dead sprint, her eyes wide and her breaths shallow. She was nearly out of breath when she reached the ledge behind her Starlight, looking down over the cliff face to see five mottled eggs gleaming from under her left wing. She gasped and felt pride rise in her chest. She was almost to enthralled with the original five to notice a sixth and seventh being rolled over to join the others by Prith's gentle claws.
Oh my darling! she said sweetly to her bonded, They are marvelous! I hope Slinesteth will be joining us? Have you told him? She asked as she looked around for T'vax's face and figure in the crowd. She longed for his embrace, always hoping for things to be more of a weyrmate status between them.
She had grown fond of the man.
Prith crooned back as her eighth and final egg was lain, her claws resting on the smallest of the bunch as to protect it with her life. She curled herself around her delicate children, I hope that they do know, most of the Weyr is already aware. Especially the hopefuls who think my children will find them worthy! She said coldly. Ana knew this would come with her first clutch; Prith wasn't one for letting things that were hers go.
