What would kairos hatching be like? Like how would he act when he first hatches? What would be the first thing he does? How would he react to his name? Would he be able to talk at first, and if so what would be the first thing he says? Also when would he hatch?
Kairos would hatch a slight bit sooner than most dragons since he's been in his awaiting stage for so long, so his nurture phase would last for maybe 4-5 days.
Kairos would do a LOT of sneering, snarling, and growling as soon as his head pops out of his egg. He'd really thrash against the shell as he hatches-- like tbh I can see a few shards flying as he fights his way out. I think, just because he's instinctually irritable under stress, he would need to acclimate to his new surroundings for a sec before he sniffs you out.
I also don't think he'd let you hold him on day one T-TTT but he would follow you literally everywhere, like if you needed to use the bathroom, he'd scratch at the door and complain that he's 'bored' T-TTT
The first thing he'd say is maybe 'You.' but in a rlly grumpy, snarly voice. Riders will often try to get their dragon to say 'hungry' or their dragon's name, or the rider's name first! Most dragons wouldn't be able to talk much until maybe a week or so after hatching, but I think Kairos would be able to comprehend words a slight bit sooner; he just would choose not to speak to you unless he wanted to know something he couldn't understand for a good... maybe week-ish? :<<< so he won't rlly talk to you until 2~ weeks after he's hatched.
Day 2-3 is when he'd let you hold him, soon, ik, but if he trusts you and you treat him well, he won't push his instincts away. And I think once you start holding him, he'd constantly be ruffling through your hair, perching on your shoulder, or latching onto your leg/arm-- esp when he has to be dropped off at aethergarde's dragon nursery.
And NO, as he grows, he won't gaf that he's too big to climb all over you, so when he's about the size of an adult golden retreiver, I highly recommend teaching him not to jump on you LOLL he won't take it too well at first, but it's an unfortunate necessity.
Oooo how he'd react to his name! Good question-- dragons feel when you settle on a name for them. Unlike his usual reactions to shit here, I think hearing that his name is 'kairos' would be soothing to him. Like a part of him would feel warm at the thought of him being 'your dragon', though he won't admit it for a GOOD while LMAO. He'd try to practice saying his name privately, like while you're asleep! It'd definitely sound a little grumbly at first since he's still tryna talk.
For the name itself, I'm pretty sure he'd like the sound of it-- I think that K sound would seem 'tough' or 'strong' to him, so he'd feel like you named him something badass LOLLLLL
soooo yahhh he's clingy yet cold right out the egg!!
