Phèdre neatly folded her wings before sitting, with all the elegance of a countess rearranging the fall of her skirts. "My dear girl, any egg sired by a de Courfeyrac belongs to me by birthright."
"But Enjolras is my captain and Courfeyrac is my lieutenant," Patria complained bitterly. "You cannot say that, you might as well say that your captain is your slave, instead of the other member of a rational partnership, based on trust and understanding! Surely you did not come out of your shell and choose the most servile to put you into harness. You listened in your egg for the voice that sounded the sweetest and made the most sense to you and waited until it called to you again. That is my Enjolras, and if he has an egg I will speak to it as he spoke to me and it will be mine, for Enjolras is currently my captain and Courfeyrac is not currently your captain." Patria jealously pulled Courfeyrac to her chest with a giant forearm.
Phèdre twitched her tail from side to side. "You speak very decidedly for one so young."
"I only wish things to be fair," Patria replied, after nosing Courfeyrac's shoulder for comfort and nearly knocking him over. "You already have a hatchling off your captain, I ought to have one off of mine." Then, with what she appeared to think was truly admirable generosity, Patria offered, "You may have their second egg."

Patria, on the left, is a Flamme-de-Gloire; Phèdre, on the right, is a Grand Chevalier. If you tell me the sizes are not right I will come to your house and knock your head off your neck with my actual fists and neither of us will enjoy it in the slightest.

Oh, isn't it?
I thought it was start of July.
And being from Scotland, I'd like to point out there IS no castle at Kinloch Laggan, also we don't have any hot springs in this country. And the Edinburgh covert, or where it would be was actually a lake back then.
But I still like the books! And the picture.
