With everyone's combined Perception and Arcana knowledge -
The area is quiet. You only hear your footsteps crunching through snow and the occasional skittering of small nighttime creatures. After a moments consideration, you're able to discern that this is a white dragon egg, and the wyrmling inside is alive.

"A damned dragon egg, just sitting here?" Senine says, reaching toward it, before pulling her hand back a bit. "What are the chances, and for that matter, what are we going to do? Dragons are dangerous, period. Should we destroy it?"

If you think my puns are bad, I'll remind you, my profile pic says otherwise.
"On one hand, yes, a dragon can be very dangerous, but I'd hate to have its mother after us with vengeance on her mind. It may be best to leave it be." Alminar says, unsure of what to do.
"Since we are in no immediate hurry," Sanjay says, "If you would all humor me for a bit, and give me 10 minutes or so to ritual cast something, I would appreciate it." Then, Sanjay ritual casts Speak With Animals and attempts to reach out with his mind, infusing his words with as much peace and safety as he can: Hello there, little one. Are you here all alone?
While waiting on a response from the baby dragon, Sanjay begins to fashion a sling out of his summer clothes so that he can pick the egg up and carry it on his back so that it's properly exposed to the cold. Then, before picking it up, he's going to gently pat the egg as if he were petting a cat.
Speaking aloud to the group, Sanjay says, "Based on where we just found this egg, I would say that it is abandoned. I don't think we're going to have to worry about the mother coming and looking for it. I'm going to bring it with us." Then, to the dragon, Sanjay says, What's your name, little one?
The egg moves ever so slightly, as if the wyrmling rolled over, but other than that there is no reaction to Sanjay's comment.

"I'm fine with it," Salem nodded, looking over at the egg. She turned back to Thistle, "If others disagree though, we could all agree on one name, considering we're keeping the dragon."
((Can Sanjay tell what gender the dragon is through the mental connection, or even an idea of mental/emotional state? If not, that's cool - just asking.))
Sanjay looks between Thistle and the dragon and says with a smile, "I think that's fair. What would you name it?"
Then, Sanjay begins to pick the egg up and place it in the sling on his back.
Sanjay gets the slightest inkling that this wyrmling may be male.

"I'd name it the harbinger of our destruction, personally." Senine says, sighing as it's clear she's been outvoted. "This seems like an absolutely terrible idea, but I suppose if a Dragon needs a name, it should be a good one." She thinks for a few moments. "Something with Rime in it maybe? Would make sense for a white dragon."
Thistle thought for a moment. "What about...Galanthus. That's what they call snowdrop flowers. They bloom in the early spring, but sometimes bloom even in snow. The egg kinda makes the think of those, popping out of the snow like that." She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "In case you couldn't tell by my name, my family has had the habit of using unusual floral names for everyone, and I'm kind of fond of them too."
((Will you all be setting up camp here for the night? If so, will anyone be standing watch?))

Sanjay smiles at the symbolism and thoughtfulness of the name. "I like it."
Then, psychically through his temporary link with the dragon, he says, So, Galanthus, it's nice to meet you. My name is Sanjay, and we're going to take care of you.
"Okay, so are we moving along, now, it camping out? I'm okay with whatever the group decides."

“Do dragons care that much about their spawn?” Senine asks, turning to Sanjay. “You’ve got a head for nature and such, no? What do you think?”
"Since we are in no immediate hurry," Sanjay says, "If you would all humor me for a bit, and give me 10 minutes or so to ritual cast something, I would appreciate it."
