The girl finally reached out a hand and gently touched the shell. "Not particularly warm either." Which was a relief as she now knew for certain it hadn't just come off some animals' inside and/or underneath not too long ago. "Thankfully." She added, retracting her hand but still keeping her eyes on it as she studied it some more. "I'm no creature expert," clearly, "but if I had to guess I'd say an ostrich." Was she joking? Hard to tell. "Or an Occamy? Given where we are." She gestured around the grounds of their magical school.

"What do you say?" And also, how would they confirm it without looking like suspicious nerds taking such an egg into the library?

Takoda continued to peer down at the egg as Jade began speculating about it. She was making some very good observations though he didn't have much to add. "I don't think it was purposely left here either," he did eventually say after thinking it over, then crouching down a bit closer to the egg. "I'm not a creature expert either, but this patch of snow and moss doesn't make for the best nest." Which begged the question of why it was here at all.

"An ostrich?" Takoda raised an eyebrow as he looked back up at her, then cast a slow glance around the grounds. "I'd say an ostrich would be pretty far from home." Deadpan, again. But an occamy might make more sense, if only.. "I'm not sure the egg is silver enough," he started as he rubbed a thumb over the shell as if to rub some dirt off of it. It definitely had something of a sheen to it, but he was unsure. "Do they get more silver as they mature?" Like by the time they baby was ready to hatch? He might have been absent from class the day they learned that.
