Carrying several books under her arm, Kurumi made her way into the reading lounge and went over to a chair by the window and flopped down in it, folding her legs under herself neatly as she pulled her egg out of her pocket. Okay, today was the day. She was going to name this thing so that she could stop feeling guilty about calling it simply 'egg.'
Cracking the bindings of a rather large book, she balanced the egg on one side of it as she scanned the page. "How about...Benedict?" she asked, pointing to a name on the page and glancing up at the egg. She didn't expect it to react really, it was just a piece of charmed metal after all, but then it sort of spazzed out, rolling across the page and back doing one of those high pitched whistles again. She was surprised that the windows didn't break from the noise. "Okay, Okay...I get it. No Benedict." it didn't need to have a cow...or a chicken as the case may be.
" Omelet?" More squeaking. "Skillet?" SQUEEEEEEEEEEAK!! "Clucky? Ducky? Daisy?" The egg looked like it was having seizures now as it rolled around the page in disgust. "Humpty?" Now the egg was livid and began hopping around on the page. One of its hops caused the paper to rip ever so slightly and Kurumi gasped. For MERLIN'S sake couldn't this egg act like an egg for once? Then, the egg began doing something it hadn't done before and it sounded like it was coughing. COUGHING?
Now that was just plain weird. Kurumi shut the book and held the egg in her hand, looking it over with a very perplexed expression on her face. Why was it coughing? Then something else happened, seeming to appear from the design itself, little spurts of dust puffed into the air and it stood on its head. At least, she thought it was its head. It was the more narrow end of the egg after all. Seeing as she knew the signs for several of the other spells, she went over them in her head until she was left with only one. "Argentum Siccus," she whispered, performing two separate wand movements, twirl and point, after each word. The egg coughed again and then flopped onto its side and began rolling in a clockwise fashion around on the book.
"Understanding you is worse then thinking about riddles," she grumbled. What was that one involving eggs? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? She needed to stop, she was going to give herself a headache thinking about that.
WAIT! That's it!
Kurumi picking up the egg with her right hand and flipped through several books until she found the very person she was looking for. "You finally have a name," she smiled, pointing at the book.
