Henri listened to all the various discussions, as well as the direct concerns of Terzi, Guillairme, and Brom. Finally he spoke, first to Terzi.
"I can help support you all somewhat, but if I start buying entire herds of cattle to feed growing dragons my family shall start to ask questions. I hold no lands of my own, rather that is my father's duty. While I'd say he's rich, he is not so rich as to not notice these types of expenses and question them," he explained. "I can certainly see about getting you into the archives at the University of Mavillon, though. I believe I have a cousin or two that operates in such circles."
And then he looked to Brom.
"Indeed, I am glad no dragon is directly charged to my care. Such a technicality frees me from any dragon-related obligations to my liegelord," he agreed. "The powers that be in Chunadie would certainly wish to acquire the dragons for their own aims, which would largely be warfare. I am neither a subtle nor cunning man, and wouldn't be able to hide such a secret properly."
And then he finally looked to Guillairme.
"There were no reports of another dragon in this area," he said, shaking his head. "But if what Zaya says is true, then the dragons will need caretakers. Guardians. And they will need to be raised separately to avoid suspicion, unless you all wish to take over an island somewhere. Or find an untouched bit of wilderness to live in."
He looked down at the eggs and sighed.
"In light of that, it may be prudent for those interested in parenthood to pick eggs," he continued, leaning down and picking up the golden dragon egg. A smile on his face, he turned to offer it to Guillairme. It was covered in scales and easily the size of Henri's torso, though it wasn't as heavy as one might expect.
