"I won't be eating.  I ate yesterday and I'm not hungry." she said quietly as she continued to work.

"It's not good to go without eating, even if you are a child of nature. Your body needs the energy to be at its best," she said, fitting the new door into place, "I'm not asking you to eat an entire three course meal, I'm asking you to at least eat something. The better you take care of yourself, the better you can protect those you love."

"I don't need that much food.  I survived on a meal every few days before I came here and I'm not used to eating very much...  I'll get sick if I eat too much." she replied quietly.

"Then eat something small.A hand full of berries or a piece of fruit, or something. I'm just trying to look out for you," she said, "I may have three hatchlings on the way, but that doesn't mean I will ignore you."

"I need to make you some potions for your journey as well.. I'll have to get to that as soon as we're done building this expansion," she said, lifting one last slab into the ceiling, leaving a single hole for light to come through. Walking to the end that was being held up by supports, she started piecing together the wall, using the supports as a frame. "So much to do, so little time," she said to herself.

She smiled. "Here, I'll hold that up for you while you piece together the wall." she said as she placed the slab she had and went over to Mayumi.

"The supports have it held, I just need to fit these slabs together," she said, placing a slab to lock one of the supports into place, "I probably should have started with this wall, but it is too late to be worrying about that now, the ceiling is already done except for one slab. I'll leave that  hole there until all three walls are done so we can  have light while we work."

"Probably a good idea." Goldenscale said as she continued with her work.

"Would you mind taking a moment to check the eggs? I have a thick blanket over them to keep the heat from the coals in, but the coals themselves may have cooled," she said, placing a second slab to lock the other support.

When the blanket was lifted, the forms inside the eggs twitched as if trying to face the light. There was an audible scratching coming from the eggs as each hatchling pressed against the walls of their confindes.The coals below the eggs had started to die down, though they were still producing a little heat.

"So, how are the eggs looking," Tieral asked, helping Ece polish her pearl, "They sound extremely close to hatching with all that scratching coing from them."
