That makes sense. Hopefully he or she doesn't have to struggle for too long.

[ He walks over to start the tea kettle, still casting a concerned glance every now and then at the bundled up egg. A few more small cracks have appeared at the surface of the shell, but it seems to be a slow process. ]

No, I should be thanking you. You came over as soon as I asked. [ He gives Garrus a small smile. ]

It's been about ten minutes now. I messaged you as soon as I realized something was different.

[Garrus chuckles.]

Like I'd leave any of you alone when you're panicking about something. You're not technically my Leapfrogs anymore, but technical doesn't really matter here.

[He leans forward to take a closer look at the egg as Zuko starts the water.]

They're still working. Looks like you're gonna have a strong one. Though, you know, dragon. Sorta means strong. You got names picked out yet?

[hotman]

I wasn't panicking.

[ He totally was. He sprints back over once the heat starts. There's one crack that has grown deeper and larger, but so far, no sight of anything but the golden exterior. ]

No... not really. I was thinking I'd wait to see if it's a boy or a girl... and then wait to see if something felt right.

[ He looks up at Garrus curiously. It's nice to have someone around to take his mind off the anxiety. ]

Why, you have any suggestions?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

[He was so panicking, but pushing on that point isn't going to get either of them anywhere. Garrus blinks at the question, though.]

Uh. I've never really... named a dragon before. Never named anything. Might not really want me to suggest things.

[A beat.]

Though there's Invictus. Byword for stubborn, sometimes foolishly so, with my people. Sounds like something a dragon might be. Or Digeris, colony we've fought for and defended against pretty bad odds before. Resilience gets associated with that.
