The Makiyan seemed to be the quickest. It was darting in and out so fast that Jinx couldn’t get a grasp on it at all. The Eideon was slower, but stronger. If Jinx’s hand got caught in that one’s paws, and subsequently its mouth, she knew she’d be wincing. That didn’t stop her, of course, but she was able to prepare for it. The brown baby was a little more hesitant - Jinx could catch that one with her hands each time she tried, and as a result, it got the most belly rubs and tackles than any of the others. It seemed to be enjoying itself as much as Jinx, which she hoped was a good sign. She had decided - hopefully, if everything went correctly, that she would bring all three of these angels home with her. She would double her cave at this rate! The more the merrier.
The Makiyan let out a mighty hiss and leaped as high as it could, trying to pounce on Jinx’s hand. It was a successful pounce, and Jinx pretending to be trapped, thrashing around while the shadowy Draconic hung on and got flung around in her struggle, all in grand fun. The Eideon watched on, waiting for the perfect chance to join in. It waited until the Makiyan swung by in front of it, then it jumped onto the Makiyan’s back. With a squeak, the Makiyan let go of Jinx and spun into a tackle roll with the Eideon. Shyly, the brown hatchling watched the quick movements and semi violent action.

After about twenty minutes of intense play, the babies were worn out! They had quite the energy cache but even they had limits. They were just babies, after all! The Eideon was the first to crash, laying on its side and panting heavily. It still had the energy to kick its feet when Jinx scratched its belly, though. She smiled adoringly down at it, and looked at the Makiyan, who had seen the green baby lay down and decided it was a good time to take a break as well. It was laying down on its belly, also panting, but in a more controlled way. The brown baby hadn’t participated as much so it still had energy to spare, and Jinx started in on that baby while the other two rested. But, with all of the human’s attentions focused on it, the brown one was quickly worn out as well, and passed out on the floor with the others. Jinx let them rest for a few minutes, then she roused them. ”Let’s go find something for you guys to drink, what do you say?” She nudged each of them, hoping to motivate them. The Makiyan and the Eideon laid there like corpses, but Jinx scooped the brown one up and stood up. She spotted a small spring for fresh water and she carried her baby over to it. She placed it down next to the pool and gave it a nudge, but it didn’t need much encouragement to drink. It practically stuck its whole face in; Jinx had to hold it back.

Jinx held the baby by its chest so it wouldn’t fall in. She didn’t know if it knew how to swim yet. While that baby drank the spring dry, the other two, as usual, were starting to feel left out. It was basically proof that even Draconics experienced a strong case of Fear of Missing Out. Jinx greeted the babies with pats and scooted to make room for them at the water’s edge. The Makiyan and Eideon nudged each other, as if there wasn’t a whole bunch of space for the two of them there, but eventually they settled down and were all drinking their fill. Jinx watched after them, gently stroking their backs or playing with their tails while they were distracted and not able to nip at her in retaliation. When they were done drinking, they went back to playing with each other. It started with shoving, then pawing at each other, then nipping at each other’s tails. The brown baby who had sat out in the playing earlier, was now giving it their all in this new game. Jinx smiled, rolling her eyes in good humor. Babies. They were plum tuckered out one second, and then ready for round two. Jinx carefully ushered them away from the water’s edge so they wouldn’t fall in. They didn’t seem to even notice her, though they rolled and tackled away from her hands. In the end, they found a nice smooth place to play, and Jinx spent time just hanging out while they pretended to try and kill each other.

The babies’ second wind didn’t last as long as their first one and soon enough they were tiring out again. They came to Jinx and flopped down on the ground all around her, leaning their backs or legs against her sides. One, the brown, rested its head on her knee and she stroked its head lovingly. She was sure she was going to end up taking all three home, assuming Acethylka would allow her to adopt so many at a time. She couldn’t imagine why not, but until she was safe at home with all three, she knew there was always a chance that something could go awry. She scratched the top of the brown’s head, loving how cute and sweet it was even in its shyness. She stroked the back of the Eideon’s green back, hearing it croon softly in response. And then she scratched the Makiyan’s belly as it laid on its back. The little legs kicked in the air, but the eyes stayed shut.
There came a time when Jinx wanted to start heading home, and wanted the babies to come with her. They were awake then, and sticking close to her legs as she walked toward the mother dragon. ”Acethylka, I have found some wonderful friends here. I would like to adopt these three babies, if that’s alright with you?” The Makiyan wound itself between her legs since she was standing still, and the Eideon watched on, silently judging. The brown looked around, as if understanding this might be the last time it saw this place.

Your name: Twilight-Claw Draconic: AE Canyon Home: The forgotten city of TengokuDo you have plans for your friend?: To have another friend for my Daisuke, and show the little one some adventure while they are still so young. Your name: Twilight-Claw Draconic: Eideon Canyon Home: The forgotten city of TengokuDo you have plans for your friend?: I feel like I have plenty of space to give a home to another one to these hatchlings, plus, wouldn't they feel more comfortable to be going together, and meet Daisuke? As he is rather big compared to most Draconics. It has been some time since she last came here, standing in front of the entrance she still can’t help but be captivated by the sight in front of her. An oasis clustered within a large cavern, where there is at least enough vegetation to call the place green instead of orange or a sand color, at least when compared to the outside of Eterra, while water from the cliffs up above trickle down, the sound still quite pleasant to hear. “Hello?” She calls out to the Draconic near her, knowing she has to wait before she would be allowed to get anywhere near the other Draconics, be it old or young, to see if she can adopt another hatchling and look if they might be a good fit for her home. “I wish to adopt again, another hatchling if possible? I am hoping to give them a good home, and quite a few siblings to harass if they are the type for it.” She grins at that, while she doesn’t have a clue yet who might be coming home with her. She’ll certainly try her very best in raising them.

Acethylka watched happily as the hatchlings played, with the woman keeping good pace with them. It was good to see someone who got along so well with the hatchlings; she knew they would be well cared for. She dipped her head to the newcomer gently and spoke. "It looks as if they have found a fine companion with you. Please, take care of them."
She turned to the other person in the cavern, who had just entered. She listened to them thoughtfully and sure enough, she seemed familiar to her. A safe person to trust hatchlings to, most likely. She nodded. "You are welcome to enter. I hope you can find a new companion."

Jinx had since gotten her other babies back home and got them settled in together. They seemed to all get along, and get along with the dragons she already had living there. It wasn't what she would call crowded yet, since she had found a rather large cave with branching caverns to call her own - not to mention the fact that she had babies, and she adored them as babies. It needed more. She needed to meet more. She knew there were many types of dragons that called the Canyon home, and she wanted to invite some of each type to live with her. She didn't have a favorite! She knew Ashe favored the Makiyan, having bonded with his own partner of that species. But for her? She loved them all, but didn't feel the need to be exclusive...
Jinx loved coming to this place. It was lovely, and the babies tumbling over each other while the adults watched on just felt like a home in itself. She smiled around her as she went, catching eyes and glances here and there. But she was looking for Acethylka! Who was so lovely it took her breath away. It wasn't long before she found her, and Jinx greeted her pleasantly.
"Hello, Acethylka! I would like to adopt some babies. Assuming they take a liking to me, of course."

The guardian, always watching over her friends here in the rookery, watched as Jinx entered and approached. She gave a kind look to the woman, who had visited once before with success, and Acethylka was pleased to see her back again. She hoped that meant the others had settled, successfully.
"Yes, of course. Please take your time. I hope you find some new friends to join you on your journey." She gave a gentle gesture with her neck, indicating Jinx could mingle with the dragons.

(Since the new ruling has the codes for the basics available, I'm going to focus on baby AC in my posts)
Jinx loved being around all the young dragons, eagerly kneeling amongst them once she had Acethylka's approval. She extended her arms to them, letting them gather around her and sniff her if they wanted. Some were shy and stayed back; she didn't try to force them to come forward until they wanted to. But through the tumbles and soft nips as the babies explored this human, one baby was really catching her eye. This baby was a- what was it called? Harian? She thought that's what it was. It would grow up to be fluffy with feathers! She had adored those kind when she saw them, mostly from afar. They weren't Ashe's cup of tea, so to speak. And this one had a really lovely soft pink coloring to her... Jinx found herself reaching out to this hatchling in particular, pleased when the baby sniffed her hand, and then gave her a lick. "That tickles!" Jinx said softly, barely resisting the urge to scoop that baby up. She didn't want to startle it too soon!

As Jinx's focus went more and more to the little pink fluff, the others started to get bored and wander off to investigate other things. Jinx was both sad to see them go - to face death by burial under a hundred baby dragons would be a worthy end indeed! - but also pleased because that made more room for the pink one to come closer. She'd managed to coax it several more steps now, and it was within easy reach of the seated girl. She was able to touch it, briefly, and stroke its head. It seemed a little startled by the sudden touch, but it was pleasant enough it didn't scare the baby. So Jinx would do it more and more often, casual caresses. She made it a habit not to outright grab a baby - often, the loss of movement was enough to set them to screeching, no matter if they liked her or not. But she would touch here and there, gentle strokes of her fingers.

The pink baby seemed to be enjoying the scritches behind where her ears would be. Jinx made sure to pay extra attention to those spots on either side of her head whenever it seemed like she was pressing too much on the baby. Any attempt to back off, out of apprehension, would fade as soon as Jinx made those special touches there. It wasn't long before the baby was crawling into Jinx's lap, thrumming happily in a dragon purr, throat vibrating with the force of it. The baby curled up in a ball in her lap, then rolled onto her back, baring her belly to the ministrations. Jinx chuckled softly and stroked the soft fur found there, curling her fingers to tickle and scratch, getting the baby all riled up. Tail lashing, neck arching, whole body squirming!
Unfortunately, by this point in time, the other baby dragons had seen that her attention was completely occupied and they stood little chance of distracting her, so they began to disperse themselves.

When the baby started squirming so much she nearly launched herself out of Jinx's lap, the girl picked her up under her armpits and held her, still squirming. She touched noses with the baby, then set her down on the ground. The pink fluff scurried about, like an excited puppy thrilled at having the attention all to itself. Jinx made a lunge, pretending to grab for her, and she scampered out of range. Jinx slapped her hands on the stone ground and the baby dragon surged forward to pounce on those hands. Jinx turned them over, palms up, in time to grab one of the baby's legs. She released it as soon as the Harian hatchling pulled back, but she did it again once it learned this new twist to the game and came back for more.
The two of them played in this manner for a decent amount of time, the baby never seeming to grow bored of such nonsense. And so, Jinx kept at it, until the baby finally flopped on the ground, tired.

When the baby dragon appeared to be plum tuckered out, Jinx scooped her back into her lap, tucking her in close. She knew her legs would be falling asleep soon with that extra weight on them, but she would stay still as long as she could. As she stroked the slumbering critter, she started to hum softly, a tune that she remembered from before she came to this city. It was an ancient song, but one whose details had escaped her over time. And the baby took a good fifteen minute snooze on her lap, obviously feeling comfortable enough to sleep in her presence. Jinx smiled down at it, watching it even as she hummed.
And eventually, as babies do, it started to rouse, energy bar refilled. It squirmed, first swatting at her hand, then nibbling on her fingers when she inevitably caught the hand in her paws. Jinx smirked and scooped her off the safety of her lap and set her on the ground. "Want to come home with me and continue playing? You'll have brothers and sisters, too!" The baby didn't say no, so Jinx stood and started for the entrance, hoping the baby would follow.
"Acethylka, I think I have found a friend to bring home with me!" She told the wonderful draconic.

A calm look crossed the matron's face and Acethylka bowed her head, "Yes, it seems you are a good match. I wish you luck in your life together." Another family member had been found, it brought her great joy.
