Fire-Touched Silver Egg

Silver hoarfrost drifts over the shell of this smallish egg like a downy blanket. Indiscriminately flecked within it are speckles of muted olive green, seeming to cast faint gray shadows where there are none and lending illusory depth to something that is surely solid. On closer inspection, both silver and green cluster over the shell in short blunt spears, like lances dulled and domesticated into tameness.

Egg Inspiration: Based on the Silvertree, _Leucadendron argentum_, native to South Africa. Its seeds only germinate after a forest fire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucadendron_argenteum

A ripple across the surface of the Silvered Motion Egg is carried over into Fire-Touched Silver Egg, as if the two have just been touched by the same passing gust of wind. Turning on its axis the former seems to wave long tendrils towards its counterpart, except that the sides of the egg are flaking off in tiny bits and pieces, leaving a scattered shower of silvery green flecks on the dun-hued sands. Sudden combustion takes the hoarfrost-touched egg by storm and the shell seems to veritably melt away releasing a tiny, gray-green hatchling onto the sands to skip her way over to /her/ weyrling.

Tiny Gray Green Hatchling

This lightly built dragon is one of stony hues, soft grays mottling her sleek, cool green hide all across the top of her. She seems dipped in a drab olive green, the unbroken color covering the sloping angles of her belly, legs and tail. Subtle splashes become a bit more diluted as you go higher, however. Starting at her shoulders, there's a spattering slate that makes her resemble a lichen-covered rock. The tips of her neckridges are faded to a dull silver and with her wings spread wide in direct light, their translucence makes them seem hardly green at all. On her head, that mottling only reaches the very tips of her blunted headknobs, the rest of her rounded cheeks and tapered muzzle cloaked in the same muted asparagus color as the rest of her.

Temperament

Telyhath as a dragonet will be much like a young, perky pop star, full of enthusiasm and yet-unsquashed optimism. The world is all sparkles and she intends to examine and experience every sparkle she happens to come across, much like her brown brother Gedroth. And like her clutchmate Chielyth, she tends to be a tomboy; unlike Chielyth, however, she doesn't care much for the frillier, feminine side of things. Graceful and clean as she might be, she still loves the rough and tumble, rowdy fun. As she ages, as she adjusts to the more pragmatic-minded N'eph, she'll become more and more jaded with what she finds around her. Exploration of things won't hold so much appeal; instead she'll turn to examining people and other dragons, and making fun of them with N'eph. She and N'eph will become partners in crime as they realize what a good fit they are. As much as she loves ridiculing people with him, though, she also enjoys helping out when she can; a good deed can thrill her as much as any scheme with N'eph. ]

Telyhath with other dragons can be a bit fickle. Male or female, she tends to flit in and out of relationships. It's a rare dragon that will win her loyal friendship, much less her long-term affection. When she's proddy, she tends to get flustered around potential suitors, and finds herself falling over herself to please them. After her flight, however, she's casual and careless with whatever relationship was set up in the process. Because of this, she'll rarely return to the same partner for flight after flight.
