When Shiva brings out the egg, Nathan experiences a load of emotions all at once.  Relief, worry, happiness, confusion...he's not entirely sure what he should be feeling right now.  This means that Vincent must be okay to some degree, though.  It means he made it to a Center, at the very least.  There must have been a good reason for sending them the egg, though...

"Here, let me see if I can read what he wrote..."  Nathan gives it a good stare.  "...hatch...Quickbeam...Telperion Uni...the writing's all smudged.  That's all I can make out.  Didn't Mallorn ask Vincent to show someone what hatches from the egg, though? The daycare people might have been able to read that before it got smudged."  (yes, they did. I checked that). Nathan looks at the egg for a little longer.  "So, are you planning on carrying that around?  It'll take longer to hatch if you do.  It'd be a little faster if I held on to it, since I have Swiftfire."  The question is phrased logically.  There's also a hint of personal want, but it's mostly logical.

Ralts has stopped playing with plusle and minun now, and is also looking towards the egg, mirroring many of the emotions Nathan has been feeling.

"Oh, true, they told me to please show it to Professor Quickbeam there at the University as soon as somethin' hatches from it. . I checked, and the place it not that far away from a place called 'Teavel Valley'... Appearantly they breed Tauros there." Didn't Professor Mallorn himself asked for a Tauros...?

She couldn't help but to notice that Nathan showes quite an interest in the weird egg... May it be out of curiosity, out of the fact that it's a vital sign from Vincent or ... because he wants to snatch it for some reason?

"It'd be a little faster if I held on to it, since I have Swiftfire."

... He shouldn't have said that.... He shouldn't have said that.... He shouldn't have said that.

Her stare was ice-cold and her voice absolutely matched that. Her mood as black as her cloathing for a moment. It looked so wrong in the calmness of her room... 

"No.Way. I'll keep hold on this egg. For more than one reason."
 
... ... ... 

She needed a moment to catch herself again. He only asked out of the logic, she knew he had the only Fire Type... But parting from a precious unique egg just because of that? ... No.

As she spoke again, none of the coldness was audible anymore. "If you have any more concerns right now, do bring them up, we might not get a chance like this again. If not, feel free to return to your room then."

It'll probably be the latter... Since Shiva could imagine he must've been nervous the whole time. Whatever reason he might have for this.
