[ No, it doesn't make up for anything, but it's still really amazing news. He wishes he'd been able to at least see the eggs before he'd come here. But, the news is enough. Of course, when he goes back, he hopes it continues to be good news and the eggs aren't eggs belonging to some other weird creature. ]

[ He laughs a little, shaking his head. Then... realizes that Alistair probably can't see that. ]

No, I doubt I'll get one. Not if there's only thirteen. Don't know what they're going to do or if they'll be able to breed them from those thirteen. It'd be nice, though, if they could. Know I'd like to have one. [ The smile he wears is evident in his tone. ] You—the Alistair I know—is the most senior Warden. Probably get first pick.
