*The storekeeper gave another sigh as he pulled his magnifying glass to his eyes, examining the egg carefully, the orb floating about to illuminate what he was looking at.*
"Hm... Air strider, eh? Keeping it warm? The egg still lives, yes... How long ago did you get this?"
*He asked, running a small cloth across one side, making sure there was a reaction - the egg surface jerking back as the baby inside pushed it back into position.*
"That's a good sign..."
Brenda
"I've... I've tried to..."*Juna would say. Though it's been warmer the more recent months, the Canifor wasn't exactly sure how warm she was supposed to keep it. Birds usually lay on eggs, right? Despite it being a well known fact, Juna wasn't sure it would be very safe for the egg for her to try doing such. Hopefully the security of her bag in the warmth of the weather was good enough.*"Its been... About a month or so now..."*Juna would say in response to his question of how long she had it. Time flew rather fast, but still the egg had yet to hatch and why that was, she wasn't sure. At the very least, Juna could feel reassurance from the man's words of it being a good sign. She wasn't quite sure what he was doing, but then again what did she know about birds?*"So... It will still hatch...?"
William
*He let the silence grow as he continued to examine the egg, nodding slowly as his weathered eyes flicked between the egg and his book.*
"Mm. It will, definitely. Air Striders take about a month to hatch - expect it soon, and try to find a stable to hatch it for you, they'll do it for a price."
Brenda
"A... Stable...?"*She'd ask in question. It wasn't that she didn't know what it was. It was more so that stables usually held 'horses'. An animal with which she also felt cautious around.*"Like... Where ranchers keep the other farm animals...?"*She'd ask quietly as if she didn't want to fully know the answer. Of course if she took the egg there she'd stay with it, but with large farm animals milling around, one of the two were at risk of getting stepped on.*
William
"No, no. An Air Strider stable. There's a few in the region that are willing to help you hatch it. Cecilia!"
*He called to the cleric, tapping his finger against the table impatiently.*
Edward
*The young girl hopped back to attention, running over to the desk and resting her head on the desk, humming curiously.*
"Hmm?~ Ooh, how's the egg?~"
William
"Egg's fine... You know where the Air Strider stables are?"
*He sighed, asking with a terse expression. While most of the best Air Striders were bred in the cities of Silnaria, they were highly isolationist, not willing to have any eggs that fall outside of their pure-bred batches. The grizzled man pulled out a sheet of paper, twirling an ink pen between his fingers and scribbling out a note, thrusting it at Cecilia and explaining gruffly*
"Here, take this to 'em. My seal is on this note, so they'll be willing to help ya'."
*The paper would be marked with a deep blue wax - the Jackdaws insignia in the corner.*
Brenda
*With the confirmation of the egg being just fine, Juna would pick it back up and look over to Cecilia.*"Is... The stable far...?"*She asked in a curious tone. An Airstrider stable it was. Well despite how loud the birds were, it was just a bunch of birds at the end of the day. The Canifor could surely handle that. Maybe if she comes to like the place, she could wait there until it hatches or at least take the time to revisit once the time comes, though that can only mean it may be a while before she got back to Salvania. That was fine at least, she could continue her travels for a little while longer. Jace lowered himself from the counter, coming to look expectantly at the door as if wanting to go outside while the others spoke.*
