They are getting close. Just let them be and keep them safe. It will take some time for them to hatch.

I am... feeling better now, Grid. I will be home soon.

[ she bristles, hissing with slightly more agitation that she would normally toss Skyfire's way ]

it has been too long. they should have hatched by now.

[ Which is about as close as she can get to 'raptor' at the moment. ]

[dismembers]

[notjelly]

Oh, the nice raptor lady! How good of you to look after them. Just keep them warm and let them hatch, and everything should be fine.

F'they're moving enough but not coming out, you might have to help them.

They're alive, that's the important thing. If they do turn out sick, you can take them to a medbay or something.

[featheryasshole]

Oh. Right.

...

Maybe you should take them to a medbay right now? They might be able to help.
