Zaya sighed and nodded to Terzi. ["Of course I see how foolish it is. Saw how foolish jumping onto a dragon was, too. Sometimes foolishness is necessary. Sometimes no non-foolish options are left. Sometimes... have to make the most of what fate dumps in your lap."]
What an absolutely Zrucanian thing to say. Zaya, as she spoke, reached into her bag and pulled out yet another tome - Mating Rituals of the Wyrm, by Ivasaar Aragwyn. ["Going to return to Stemspire for help when I can. I can help you check archives first. Not confident about this quest to find the... other parent. Not necessarily 'father'. Little draconic notion of a gender binary. Not something we can assume. Regardless."]
Zaya flips through a few pages. Given that other people are arriving and the information seems important, she re-activates her translation charm. "Very rare for both parents to be involved with raising draconic children. Usually one takes the eggs, the other has nothing to do with them. How that's decided varies. This one? Possible she defeated her mate in combat for the eggs. Maybe combat to the death. She was... aggressive. Can't hurt to see what we find. Not simply a 'deadbeat dad', though, as it were."
She paused, squinting at a particular page of the tome. "...Hm. Ten eggs of different colors... doesn't usually happen. Usually inherit colors from parents, maybe grandparents. Not sure what that means - unusual song sang during the mating ritual? That's something to look for."
