The human waited with their whelps, he took inventory of the seven dragon infants and scratched their heads when they bumped their heads against his hands and stomach. He watched as they slowly settled down, seeming tired after hatching when they rolled around in the nest that seemed too small for all of them. Though they made it work, a tangle of small wings and limbs and heads, he curled around them and stroked the place between their eyes when they looked to him. He had a permanent smile on his face as he watched all of them, waiting for Acrux to return and removing the bits of shell that were left.
