"You can't just... Kids!"
Terzi throws up her hands, then walks away to pace.
"No, Rozenn, no we don't bear equal responsibility. I didn't come here to slay a dragon. Holek didn't come here to slay a dragon. It wasn't what we were paid for. We were paid to be witnesses to the dragon slayer. And I don't know about the rest of you, but I can safely say he did it! Congratulations, Sir Henri, you slayed your dragon! I witnessed it! I'm going to take my one tenth of the nothing here. Children," she points to the eggs, "Are not wealth. They are obligations. Responsibilities."
She shakes her head, calming herself.
"I will do what I can here. I will heal all of you, to the best of my ability. I will help play... Midwife to a clutch of dragon eggs, Sweet Song I didn't think I'd ever say that. And... My business in Chunadie is far from done. In the name of fairness and 'common responsibility' I will work with the rest of you to ensure the hatchlings find a proper home. But-"
Terzi swivels to face Henri again, looking for a moment a colorful whirling dervish. She jabs a finger at him.
"You are bankrolling this. If it will help, consider my payment for saving your life not in gold, but in a simple favor- while I am in Chunadie helping care for these children, you pull strings to get me into archives where your family holds influence... And, Avag, no offense, but I don't think you should bring a bunch of dragons home to your family to raise them. I don't think your family- or very many families for that matter- would be ready for the challenge of raising ten dragons."
