Brulie had, thankfully, stuck around the area, but she seemed unsettled. Guy was brushing her down while the kettle warmed over the fire when the sound of crunching eggshells nearly set her running, but Guillairme caught her by the muzzle and threw his other arm over her side, murmuring calmly to her while he strained his neck to see what was happening.
It was so much sooner than Zaya had predicted!
But if it was happening, it was happening. The donkey no longer seemed in danger of bolting. He gave her a pat on the nose and picked up his satchel, thumbing through to pick out a pouch of sassolite-treated barley grains and a crudely carved and well tasseled cow talisman, which he looped over his wrist.
Hearing Terzi's call for water, he picked up the kettle (which was probably on the hot side of warm, but it would cool soon enough) with one hand, and threw the grains onto the fire with the other. They shot up in brilliant, verdant green sparks. "Mother Amarie, we thank thee for thy gift of new life. We pray for your benevolent aid that these infants may survive their first year, that they be provided enough to eat, that they escape sickness and harm."
He set the kettle down next to Terzi, and went to each dragonling in turn to smooth a thumb over their brow while holding his pointer and pinky finger in the shape of the bull horns, an animal favored by Amarie.
