I have an egg.
What am I supposed to do with it?

I'm distressed to find that by now, not only has a fair amount of good advice already been given you, but someone else has already made a pun about your egg.
...No amount of scrambling, I suppose, will change the fact that I've been beaten to it.

Have you seen it move at all?

Happy to oblige. May I ask where it did come from?
Ah, you did that quest as well. Interesting.
For what it's worth, I also did the quest, and wound up with a piece of fairly useless junk. At least the egg likely holds some value to it.

[When they get to his room, the egg, balanced in the middle of a pillow, is a normal size but completely black.]
I haven't seen it move, but if you hold it, you can feel there's something in there.
Go ahead.
[He inclines his head toward the egg.]
The shell's really hard, so you don't have to worry about breaking it.

Something that would make it not-junk, you mean.
Hmm. What color is the egg? Not golden, by any chance?

I see. I'll have to look more closely, but I recall it did look as though there was a place for some sort of handle to attach to it, and an opening for some sort of gemstone as well. Perhaps someone else who did the quest has something similar.
So there's no cracking that mystery, then, hmm?

ya see i'm sure you'll be best buds!! （*´▽｀*）（*´▽｀*）
I certainly did.
Ah. You think it's something dangerous?
Ah. You think it's something dangerous?
I would expect so. Though if you'd prefer not to do all the hatchwork yourself, my house is home to at least three large nesting birds and a number of smaller ones. There's always the chance one could slip them an egg and they might seek to hatch it without realizing it's not one of their own.
Come to think of it, the town gave out blankets as rewards for a quest last month, as well. Did you happen to complete that quest, as well?
I wouldn't rule it out. Strange occurrences in this town tend to fit together in some fashion, more often than not.
...Ah. You only received one blanket, between the two of you?
