A Mother Norn and Her Egg

The incessant slapping kept most of my Norns from enjoying much of anything. I resorted to moving the alpha couple to a quiet place for a little bit, where they could catch their breath! During that time, Ginda decided that it was time for another egg! She looked like the proudest mother in the world when she laid her egg, and I couldn’t help but wonder if she knew what was inside. This was the only egg during this pregnancy, which could have accounted for her happiness! Laying so many at once had to be quite uncomfortable, especially since it resulted in a much tougher experience for the mother.

Then, Ginda made my day. I picked up and moved her egg to the designated hatching spot, and I was met with this sour face! Not only was Ginda proud of that black and white egg: She was also extremely protective of it! Afterwards, she made her displeasure with my behavior known to all who would listen. That crowd turned out to include myself, yet I understood her maternal instincts. Ginda had only been pregnant once before, and it seemed like she was choosing her timing carefully. Would Amrin end up being the alpha couple’s only son?
