Wings of Fury 2

Zaya began to listen to the ensuing argument among the party... but her attention quickly drifted off as she looked back toward the eggs.

"Keraza," she said, after a pause - talking to herself, but not so quietly as to not be heard. "You had kids? Must have been. A long time ago. ...Wonder if they're still out there. Maybe we can look. Find out what happened. Still. These babies... they need care. Think we... can? Those of us here?"

Another pause, as Zaya continued paying no attention. "Have to do something. We'll need to split up. Probably. Not many places that can support ten dragons. Especially with the... risk of powerful people finding out. Some may have to take multiple eggs. Since. Seems like not everyone will take the responsibility." Pause. "Is that. Better than trying to find another dragon to help? Do you think? Not sure how we would. Dragons don't interact with mortal society usually. Unless they're like her."

Zaya listened to nothing in particular, again, as Avag started rambling. "Agreed. Okay. I will... try to convince them. We'll see. I can... find others. If I need to."

After some time, the scholar stood from her position, knelt over the eggs, and looked to the rest of the group. "I've... gotten some advice. I'll explain that. Soon. But first. In the absence of a dragon to care for the babies... Each one may need one of us to take care of them. Hatchlings... careless, apparently. A handful. And likely to attract attention if we try to raise too many in the same place. If any of you don't want to shoulder this... we can search for others. I am going to do everything I can for the hatchlings. I can. Give advice. Share what I know. I... was not expecting parenting quite so soon. But I'll take it on."
