You actually say just “egg” over and over in various excited inflections, and you’re still saying it when you reach Rosa’s front door. She answers, you say “EGG”, and it’s pretty easy for her to figure out what’s going on.
“They’re hatching already? Hmm, well, given how large the bigger of the two is, I’m really not surprised. Give me a moment to gather a few things, and then we can be on our way.” It’s not going to be the first time she’s let you fly her somewhere, and it’s probably not going to be the last, either. You’re hopping and buzzing with excited energy at the prospect of seeing your new grubs, and even though Rosa is hardly dallying you still feel like it’s taking forever. Finally she comes to you with an oversized diaper bag filled with grub blankets, towels, medicines, and whatever else she stuffed in that huge bag of mystery. You shoot Gamzee a text that only says ‘omw’ and then you are indeed on your way to Eridan’s hive.
It’s a pretty short flight, short enough that you’re not worn out from flying you and a passenger (before you started your psych meds it felt like you could fly forever without tiring, but now you have to ration your energy and psi use more carefully). You don’t even bother knocking, of course; you just barge right on in and holler “II’M HERE FOR THE EGG. EGG2.” Rosa just facepalms and asks you to lead the way to Gamzee’s block.
