I have an egg.

What am I supposed to do with 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.

[ Maya glances at him first, then moves towards the egg, slipping her hands under it to pick it up carefully.

And sure enough-- ]

Whoa! Okay, definitely alive and kicking.

[ Good thing she has this handy dandy blanket to wrap it around it once she sets it down again. ]

[The egg looks so snug when it's bundled up that it's kind of cute. Almost enough to make him forget that he's trying to hatch a monster egg.

Except he can never forget that.]

Do you think I should add more blankets to keep it extra warm?

[scooptimistic]

Let's start off with one and see! If it feels cold to the touch to you, we can add more. But we don't know what kind of warmth this little guy will need.

[Nodding, Keigo tucks the blanket in a little more.]

How long do you think it will take to hatch?

[scooptimistic]

It's hard to say... how long have you had it?

[asano_san]

I got it a few days before we all got sent to that ice castle.

[The egg did not come with him.]

[scooptimistic]

So not too long... and it just appeared?

[asano_san]

I think it's my reward from answering the sphinx's question. I found it not long after I got back from the woods.

[scooptimistic]

Getting a mysterious egg for solving a riddle... I guess that's also a riddle in itself.

[asano_san]

You're right!

It's like a never-ending quest!
