i was born, on the highway, in a train wreck

with a heart, that was beating, out of my chest

The first to approach was Melantha, another one of the Tanglers that had first been there when the egg had been found near the border. Aurum offered the female a glance and a nod as she approached, a similar grin appearing on his face as he saw that he was far from the only one who was excited for this. Tail flicking absently from side to side, the guardsman pointed carefully with a paw at the small crack that had marred the egg's surface, rumbling "Yep, right there. That's the first sign of the beginning of the hatching! I wonder what it'll be..." He also wondered what it would be like, but... he supposed that no one could really know that until whatever emerged from the egg was old enough to speak, or do more than just be doted on by everyone as it grew. Regardless of what it ended up like though, the child inside of the egg was a Tangler, at least until any sort of parent showed up. However, he had a feeling that nobody would, considering it had already been several days with no signs of anyone. The lion then looked up when he noticed the approach of Feza, Crowley, and Kiira. It was a bit hard to believe that Feza hadn't found out about the egg at all, but he shrugged it off, figuring she had probably just been too busy with some kind of strange convoluted plan she had been stirring up. Since Feza didn't really actually seem interested in any sort of answer to her former questions, too caught up in the excitement of the hatching, he instead turned his attention towards Crowley, while offering Kiira a nod. Letting his tail touch gently to the demon's back in order to calm any nerves, Aurum shrugged and mumbled to his companion, "Kiira's right. We can't really know how long it'll take yet since we don't know what kind of creature it is. If it's strong and has something like a sharp egg tooth, it could be pretty fast, but if it doesn't? Who knows." It was a bit of an annoying truth, getting so excited for something like an egg hatching and then realizing you'd have to wait until the child could actually emerge, but it wasn't as if they were going to just drag whatever was inside out.
