Mother’s thoughts gave Xlyoth more context. Who went where and how things were supposed to go.

Issrodeth, then Mother, then Igith, then queen-daughters after that. No thoughts of these eggs, so no golds here? Xlyoth sighed. She would not be mother-gold?

Mother’s thoughts continued on to things that needed to be done. Very important things, and Xlyoth let go of the shallow concerns of color. Helping. Yes, helping was good.

Xlyoth shouted egg-words to the queen: Mother! I will help! I promise! Even if I am not gold. Even if I am only green. I will help! Be strong, Mother! I am here. We are here! We will help!
