Past experiences made my tolerance of others high, yet those that surrounded me and worked with me to get this life to shore began to wear away at my patience. Three of them almost ended all our work, and when they left, leaving me to drag the egg to shore, I felt relieved. When there was a fresh warmth that came with a shiver across my body that announced I was out of the water, my attention went to my lasting companion. She was the one of them all that made it this far with me, and therefore set herself up to be my enemy while I was enjoying her company. I gave her a smile once we got the egg to a level place.
She didn't stay with me that long, taking off to tear off some ferns and create a nest for the egg. My muzzle worked with her's, trying to keep my horn as far away as possible from that precious life. As a younger soul, it could of been used to nudge things along, being nothing but a nub. Now it was a weapon, and the wrong movement near a face can poke out an eyeball. Once we got her ferns going, my eyes drifted to the nearby rocks covered in moss, and an idea came to me.
"One minute, it's your turn to egg sit." I offered a soft laugh with my horrible pun, trying to tease off the tension between the two of us. Regardless of who went on with the egg tonight, later on I might enjoy a more relaxed time with her. My body was carried to the rocks, my horn becoming useful now. I stabbed and tore away with it, running it over the moss and pulling it up. With the usage of my muzzle, I checked for moisture in the greenry. None.
Brought back to her and the egg held between my lips, I went about trying to add it around the egg like she had done with the ferns. It'd act as a little bit more of warmth, and when I ran out of ideas, her tail was swung over to it hold in the heat. A sigh was brought out from me as I went to lay on the opposite side of the egg, shivering slightly in the warm air. "I'd offer my tail to help, but it being still wet I doubt it'd be any help."
Sensing that there wasn't exactly a lot more that could be done, I let the tension ebb away from my body, falling off in waves as my eyes gazed over her and the egg. What was to come of it lay between the two of us, and whoever went with it tonight was the blessed one in this situation.

If you could hear me then, can you hear me now?
