I think that because you are traveling in a group of people and there is always at least one bad apple in the bunch SOMEONE decided to snatch an egg and well...Glint then becomes a mother only trying to protect her young.
You need to remember, there isn't millions of adventurers going around. There is one unnamed non-genderized hero along with the henchmen that do the storyline.
Though I guess if Stefan went drinking with Kilroy, he'd pick up the egg...
Good, I can fake it was not me who took the egg and give the fault to some stupid henchmen! You can never take those kids around, they always do disasters!
