A grin spread across Emma's face, a burst of laughter bubbling up. [color=greenyellow]"Wow... Dragons,"[/color] she chuckled, staring around the room as other eggs hatched. [color=greenyellow]"Real dragons... Can't say this is anything I thought I'd ever see."[/color] She ran her fingers across Maia's head, down the back of her neck, along the thicket of vines that curled around her back and tail.

Maia chirruped and made a clumsy attempt at standing on her hind legs, flaring out a pair of pale green wings with a branching skeletal structure. Emma hugged the dragon, arms wrapped around a mossy patch on Maia's back, careful not to get poked by the many twigs. Although Maia was hardly the biggest dragon in the room, her weight was enough to push Emma off-balance. She teetered and fell, causing a chirp of alarm from Maia. Still laughing, Emma sat up. [color=greenyellow]"Hey. I'm ok,"[/color] she reassured the dragon, stroking her on the head.

Glancing over, she noticed a similar dragon licking the face of the girl she'd spoken to earlier. She bounded over to Jo, Maia pattering along behind her. [color=greenyellow]"You got the same type of dragon?"[/color] she said, glancing from Jo to the golden-eyed hatchling.

A yelp distracted her. She turned her head to see a girl who didn't seem to be having much luck with her dragon, nursing a bleeding hand. [color=greenyellow]"You alright?"[/color] Emma asked the girl, approaching with Maia beside her. [color=greenyellow]"I have a first aid kit here."[/color] She took her bag from her shoulder and rummaged through it for the emergency medical kit she kept for her outdoor activities.
