Comment on Hatchling

    I enjoyed this--Berkley's one of my favorites in the book, and it was nice to see him and Maximus brought to the forefront. And I laughed at this:

    --Berkley tried to clear his throat. Six years waiting, and now he lost his voice? He coughed harshly, and then asked, “Would you like a name?” The dragonet paused and looked up. Then it said, quite clearly, “Yes.”

    At least no one had been wandering in here and swearing their mouths off recently, thought Berkley wildly. Last time he had been here, for another hatching, the dragonet had said “Fuck yes,” to the question of a name, stunning the new captain.--

      :D I'm glad you liked it! (There have to be some crew letting loose when they don't think their officers are looking, and oops!)
