Surion and new skills

Surion could be heard babbling from his room in his crib. "DAHHDAAAHHDAAAAAHHH" he wanted attention and he wanted out and he wanted changed

Torvil smiled and rolled out of the bed, he tossed on his robe and headed to go check on his son. He entered his room and picked him up. "Hmm, somebody needs changing."

Surion was sitting when he got picked up and babbling again

Torvil blinked. "Wait..." He quickly changed him and lay him back down.

Surion looked up at him sticking a finger in his mouth before happily squealing and waving both hands around at his father and kicking his feet

Torvil chuckled softly. "And for a moment I thought you'd gone and sat up..." He smirked, playing with his son.

Surion giggled and rolled over onto his tummy

Torvil chuckled. "That trick still kills me..." He rubbed his son's back softly with his hand.

Surion blew happy bubbles playing with anything in reach including his father and clothing

Torvil chuckled and turned to go get some more of Surion's toys.

Surion rolled on his side and used his little hands to push himself to sit. he watched his father cross the room and squealed happily clapping his hands together

Torvil spun around and stared. "You can sit!" He laughed and ran for the door. "Ala!"

Surion giggled seeing his father happy and clapped his hands

"What..." Ala called out sounding like she wasn't yet awake as she called from their room

"Surion sat up!" He called down the hall, turning to his sun and beaming like a loon.

Surion giggled rocking lightly on the floor

*THUD* sound of someone falling out of bed then bare foot steps coming down the hall

Torvil smiled and watched him, clearing the doorway for Ala.

Ala came to a tumbling halt as she almost missed the door and stared in her eyes wide seeing Surion

Torvil smiled. "He can sit up..." He sounded like a looped record...

"I see this" Ala grinned from her place on the floor

Surion burbled and flopped over onto his belly kicking his legs his elbows propping his upper torso up on the floor

Torvil smiled. "Ah! He can prop himself!" He beamed and got into a squat. "Can you try and crawl for daddy?"

Ala chuckled she knew he could do that part

Surion looked at his daddy, then to his toys and back to his daddy before using his kicking legs and his elbows to move forward very slowly... towards his toys

Torvil laughed softly. "Heh... Guess I'm not as important..." He pouted playfully.

Ala chuckled "You could join him to play with the toys"

Surion stopped part way there and looked towards his dad "Dahhhdaahhddaaaahh"

Torvil chuckled and crawled after Surion. "Race ya!" He chuckled, moving slow for his son.

Ala chuckled and got up heading back towards their room to leave the two to play and bond

Surion squeeled happily and went back to trying to get at his toys

Torvil crawled just behind him, his hand just behind his son's feet.

Surion got within reach of his toys and pushed to sit again "Adahhdahhdaahh.... drdrdrdr" he said grabbing the closest stuffed dragon that his mom had piled there

Torvil smiled and sat next to his son, grabbing another dragon and holding it softly in his hands.

Surion giggled and babbled swinging his arms as he held the toy by it's tail

Torvil smiled and pretended to make his fly at Surion with his hand. "Hehe, here comes the Dragon!"

Surion giggled and leaned forward a little "AAaahhhhhhhh" he said mouth wide going after the dragon and the hand that held it

Torvil laughed and slowly pulled the dragon away. "Ah, so you are the fabled eater of dragons eh?"

Surion leaned forward farther as his dad pulled the dragon way eventually far enough to topple forward onto his belly

Torvil reached out quickly to try and catch him, giving him the dragon to keep him from crying if he was going to start.

Surion looked startled for a moment. He took the dragon by it's neck and went after the hand that held it previously..

Torvil chuckled and slowly sat him back up, offering his son the hand that had held the dragon.

Surion reached and grabbed his father's finger letting go of the dragon and pulled his father's hand towards his mouth

Torvil let him have it, not scared of a little biting... Let him, he needed to learn to anyhow, it was part of the Dragon defense system.

Surion pulled his dad's hand to his mouth and bit into the side of it, he began chewing it like he would a teething ring

Torvil smiled and let him chew, purring softly as he softly brushed his son's cheek.

Surion let go a few minutes later and leaned over onto his side and rolled moving closer to a toy

Torvil smiled and watched his son. He was slightly saddened that the others had not been like this...

Surion rolled onto his back with another toy in hand which he waved at his dad "Adaahdaahdahhdahh"

Torvil smiled and approached. "Having fun Lil Sur?" He chuckled lightly as he sat next to his son.

Surion pushed himself up to sit and leaned forward putting his hand on his dad's knee holding the toy up towards Torvil "AAAAAHHH"

Torvil smiled and took it. "You want me to play?" He chuckled.

Surion sat back and squealed happily clapping his hands together

Torvil smiled and played with the toy, centering his attention with it around Surion.

Surion giggled and played eventually he dropped all the toys and held his arms out and up "AAAaappppppppppt"

Torvil tipped his head trying to figure it out, he put the toy aside and moved to pick Surion up.

Surion squealed happily as he was picked up

Torvil smiled and pulled his son close, looking down into his face. "You make me very happy Surion... Daddy hasn't been this happy in a good while..." He chuckled weakly. "Daddy's been under a lot of stress, and tries not to let it get to mommy... She does a lot for Daddy... But Daddy loves her too much to overtax her..." He said to his son.

Surion blew bubbles and reached up towards his father's romani's

Torvil smiled and took them off, giving them to Surion, letting his blue eyes be seen fully.

Surion took them by the arms and waved them around a bit before trying to shove them on his face upside-down

Torvil chuckled and took them back, putting him on his son right side up. They were a bit big on him... "Hehe... Lookin' good Sur..."

"pppffftttt" Surion raspberried clapping his hands together "Adahhdahhdaah"

Torvil chuckled and took his glasses back, then nuzzled his son.

Surion took hold of his father's top and pulled himself to lean forward his little tail swinging around on his father's leg

Torvil purred and held Surion. "Now where are you going..." He chuckled.

"Aaapppppt" Surion replied reaching up for a higher grip and pulling on the shirt he held

Torvil smiled and slowly lifted him up more with his arms.

Surion pulled till he was standing on his father's lap basically nose to nose

Torvil smiled. "So... You gonna keep holding my shirt... Shoulders might be better..." He chuckled at his son.

Surion bounced in his father's grip still holding the shirt and squealing happily

Torvil chuckled and smiled, kissing his son's forehead with a happy grin.

Surion blew a raspberry most of that drool landing on his father's neck as he was kissed . Then he squealed happily again bouncing in his father's grip

Torvil laughed. "Oh... hey! You pulled yourself up didn't you..." He chuckled softly.

Surion let go with one hand and reached up pulling his father' romani's off and sending them flying towards his pile of dragon stuffies looking at his father's blue eyes happily

Torvil chuckled. "Fine, glasses off..." He smirked, glad that he got the durable kind...

Surion let go with his other hand staying upright thanks to his father's grasp. he reached both hands to his father's face and playfully baby-slapped it "Adahhdahhhdaaahhh"

Torvil chuckled and kissed at the hands. "Yesh. Dad..." He smiled.

Surion leaned forward planting his mostly open very drooly mouth on his father's chin

Torvil chuckled and purred happily, looking down at his son. "Hehe... Baby kissy.."

Surion swung his arms happily as he bounced in his father's grip then let the support under him go as to sit again

Torvil chuckled and softly brushed his son's cheek with a finger. "You're so adorable..."

Surion went after the finger that brushed his cheek

Torvil smiled and bit his wrist open, offering it to Surion.

Surion went after it happily

Torvil purred and let his son feed on his wrist with a small smile. He felt complete... He could feed their child... He wasn't useless...

Surion broke away a short time later and looked up at his dad with a dirty face "Adahhdahhdahhdahh"

Torvil smiled and wiped his son's face clean with a finger, licking it before closing his wound.

Surion reached and grabbed his father's shirt again pulling on it

Torvil smiled and just held his arms behind him to catch him if he fell.

Surion pulled till he was upright again and using his grip on the shirt to hold himself there as he bounced

Torvil smiled. "My talented little Surion..." He chuckled.

Surion squealed happily and let go teetering backwards

Torvil's hands quickly caught him not letting him fall.

Surion giggled and plopped down looking up at his dad

Torvil smiled happily and nuzzled the top of his son's head.

Surion's smile faded as he looked up and was replaced by a scrunchie nose

Torvil couldn't help but laugh, getting up and heading straight for the changing table.

Surion watched his father with a pouty scrunched up face as he was carried

Torvil put him down on the changing table and started to change him.

Surion stared up at his father trying to roll on the table now and then

Torvil chuckled. "Oh no... No messes..." HE smirked, keeping his son still til he was done.

Surion squawked at being held still, now that he knew how to roll and sit and move he wanted to move move move

Torvil let him go once he was done. "There... Now you can move around..."

Surion rolled onto his belly his tail moving around and then he sat up on the table bouncing lightly on the mat

Torvil chuckled and picked him up, putting him on the floor as he finished up with the diaper in the biohazard pail... Or at least... That's what he called the bloody thing.

Surion rolled to his belly and was heading for the door as Torvil dealt with the diaper

Torvil turned and chuckled, walking slowly behind his son once he sanitized his hands.

Surion squealed happily slowly making his way into the hall then rolling on his side to look up at his father for a moment before keeping going

Torvil chuckled and walked behind him, glad he'd fixed everything that had been broken before.

Surion giggled and squealed it like a game to him and his daddy was 'chasing' him

Torvil chuckled and smiled at his son, wondering how his little mind viewed this.

Surion was on a beeline for the first open door he could see which happened to be his parents room where his mom had gone back to lie down again

Torvil chuckled and followed after him with a small smile.

Surion stopped in the doorway again and rolled onto his side to look up and squealed and giggled rolling back on his belly to move again

Torvil chuckled and gave 'chase' after his son, mindful that Ala might be trying to sleep, and that if he woke her up, he'd move Surion out to the living room.

took a short while but he soon was in the room giggling happily

Ala opened an eye hearing her son's voice

Torvil looked towards her. "Did he wake you?" He asked, still walking very slowly behind their son.

"Kinda but not really been hearing you guys all down the hall" Ala said softly

Surion made a beeline for the side of the tall bed and soon was half under the bed

Torvil scurried over hand pulled his son from out form under it, picking him up and putting him atop the bed. Under the bed was not a Surion fly zone.

Surion squawked and pouted being pulled out from under the bed

Torvil chuckled. "Nothing to see under there... Too dark..." He smiled weakly at Ala and mouthed a few quick words before diving back under the bed and pulling more than a few boxes out from under it, heading for his closet.

Ala laughed "I think we may need to baby proof"

Surion waved his arms happily the item he had in his hand catching the light and sending it against the walls, it was Ala's tail ring

Torvil chuckled softly. "Yeah..." He said softly, moving all of his... 'stuff' into his closet... Which strangely... had a lock.

Ala looked towards her son and chuckled "You missed one love"

Surion was sticking his wrist through the ring and letting the ring slide up his arm as he lay waving his arms and kicking his feet giggling

Torvil chuckled softly. "Thankfully one that isn't 'bad'." He said with a light smile, snatching the ring from Surion trading him really, cause he gave him a piece of his horde. A large gold amulet.

Surion took it staring for a moment then starting to swing it around as his arms moved squealing happily

"Think that one is safe love" Ala asked avoiding getting hit

Torvil chuckled. "Until I can get him one of his own toys yes..." He chuckled.

Ala chuckled

Surion Started tring to chew on the amulet

Torvil smiled, and watched his son. "That's the first part of his..." He mused.

Ala chuckled softly "A good start"

Surion let the amulet drop and yawned audibly

Torvil smiled. "Of course... and when the hording instinct really kicks in for him..." He chuckled. "There will be a lot fro him to find..."

Ala chuckled

Surion's thumb found it's way into his mouth and his other hand stuck up in the air making grabby motions

Torvil chuckled and went to fetch his blanket.

Ala chuckled and rolled to face her son

Surion looked into his mom's face with a look that said 'why are you just laying there go get'

Torvil came back with Surion's blanket and tossed it in a ball to the small child with a smirk. "Incoming!"

The blanket landed atop of him and he pushed it down a little with his outstretched hand only to grab it and roll onto his side bringing his hand near his face and closing his eyes

Torvil chuckled. "Oh, so you think you can steal our bed eh?" He smirked and crawled into it.

Surion dozed right where he was just to one side of half way onto the bed though more on Torvil's side then Ala's

Torvil chuckled. "Oh sure... He's more on my side..." He smirked at Ala.

Ala laughed "He is your son... so did you two have fun?"

Torvil smiled and nodded, laying down on the bed as best he could. "Loads of it..." He chuckled.

"You sounded like it, you also sounded very excited that he sat up" she chuckled

Torvil chuckled. "I was very... He can stand now... Well, pull himself up to it..."

"Really?!" Ala looked down to her son "My oh my he's getting to be a big boy"

Torvil chuckled. "Yep..." He smiled.

Ala chuckled softly and yawned "Ugh I don't know why I feel so tired today"

Torvil brushed her face softly. "Then rest, I'm sure we'll figure it out..."

Ala nodded softly closing her eyes again

Torvil smiled and watched his family sleep.

Ala fell back to sleep looking exhausted though she hadn't done basically anything at all that day

Torvil stayed awake and aware, a bit worried about his wife.

Ala slept a deep dreamless sleep once she got back to letting herself sleep

Torvil finally allowed himself to fall into a light sleep

Day with Daddy

Surion had woken before both his parents , he sat up on the bed where he had fallen asleep and watched his dad for a moment before reaching forward and baby-slapping his dad's cheek "Adaahdaahdahh"

Torvil slowly woke and chuckled. "Well mornin..." He said softly sitting up. "Seems you woke me up first... Why didn't you try mommy?"

"Adaahdahhdahhdahh" Surion bounced on the bed where he sat clapping his hands happily

Torvil chuckled. "You sure like your daddy don't you..." He pulled his son to him, and went about trying to wake up Ala, softly shaking her shoulder. "Love?"

"Mmmm" Ala barely stirred

Surion grabbed his father's hair and proceeded to chew on it

Torvil chuckled. "Should I let you sleep?" He asked her softly, a little worried but not showing it.

"Mmmm" she replied again

Torvil just nodded and took Surion out of the room with him, first to see if he needed changing, then to make breakfast for himself.

Surion did need changing in both clothing and his diaper and he didn't give his father an easy time at it. To start, the moment his diaper opened he peed creating a fountain. once that was over he kept trying to roll

Torvil, unlike most other parents, had good reflexes and was able to avoid the fountain. "Hah.." He chuckled lightly, quickly changing his son and letting him roll about once he was finished while he got rid of the diaper and the mess.

"Aaahhpppfftttt" he said once he had rolled and sat up. he held out his arms to his dad "aaaappptt"

Torvil chuckled and came over after sanitizing his hands. He picked Surion up and headed for the kitchen.

"Addahhdahhdahhdahh" Surion bounced in his father's arms now rather hungry

Torvil chuckled and smiled, heading over to the kitchen. He put Surion down in the Highchair Ala had moved out there a few days prior. He dug around the fridge for some Surion munchies

Surion babbled happily and slapped his hands on the tray while he waited and watched his father

Torvil chuckled and got Surion his eats, laying them out for him once he was done getting them ready to roll. He then pulled out a skillet and went to work on his own food.

Surion looked at the food and slapped his hand down squealing happily as it landed on the side of the bowl, sending the bowl of baby cereal flying

Torvil grunted and rolled his eyes, he finished up his food and set it aside, cleaning up the mess Surion had made and getting him a new one. He sat down in front of him this time with a spoon. "Okay, lets actually try to eat it this time..."

Surion giggled and clapped his hands together

Torvil smiled and scooped up some cereal. "Okay, now here comes the dragon, open up the cave..." He chuckled and moved the laden spoon towards Surion's mouth.

Surion opened his mouth "Aaaahh.." and once it was in closed his lips "pppfffttt" happily raspberrying ... food and all

Torvil wiped off his face. "Without the raspberry this time maybe?" He chuckled, spooning some more food.

Surion giggled and clapped his hands before leaning forward and taking the food in his mouth

Torvil smiled. "Can you swallow now?" He chuckled pulling the spoon out of his son's mouth to get more.

Surion swallowed then slapped his hands on the tray playfully as he waited for more

Torvil smiled and got him more, again moving the spoon to him.

Surion opened his mouth and took more of the cereal happily

Torvil smiled and pulled his own plate over as he continued to feed his son, working on eating his own food with his other hand.

it didn't take overly long to feed Surion the cereal however by the time they were done both father and son needed baths. Surion had wiped his hands through spilled cereal and had it in his head and clothing, his father... was no better off after the few raspberries Surion gave

Torvil chuckled. "okay little dude... bath..." He smirked, Picking up Surion and heading first for the changing table, then to the bath.

As had become habit Surion still did not give his father an easy time on the change table as he wanted to be on his belly

Torvil chuckled and did what he had to, but didn't put Surion in a new diaper, instead, he carried his son towards his own room, heading for the bath.

Surion babbled happily and blew bubbles as he was carried

Torvil chuckled and de-shirted his son, dropping him in the empty tub. He chuckled and started to remove his own clothes.

Surion giggled and slapped his hands down on the tub's bottom liking the sound it made

Torvil chuckled and slid into the tub, turning on the tap. "Lots of firsts this week eh?" He chuckled.

Surion looked at his father and blinked before reaching and baby-pinching the hairs on his father's leg

Torvil's leg twitched. "Hehe... Hey..." He chuckled.

Surion didn't stop as water surrounded their legs

Torvil chuckled and smiled. "Well I guess you enjoy doing that..."

Surion had a thoughtful expression on his face as he grabbed more hairs in his little hand

Torvil let out a soft painful yelp. "Ow! not so hard there little buddy..."

Surion looked up at his father when he heard the yelp and whimpered

Torvil brushed his son's cheek. "Hey, hey..." He said softly. "Hey... look!" He smiled and pulled out a small animal shaped bar of soap. "What's this?"

Surion looked and leaned towards it mouth open

Torvil chuckled. "oh no... You don't want to put your mouth on that..."

Surion looked up at him with a pouty look, soon followed by a scrunchie nose

Torvil made a face. "Well I guess the bath is over..." He chuckled, getting out quickly and draining the water, pulling Surion out of the tub and putting him down on the tile.

Surion giggled happily once again and slapped his hands on the tile

Torvil quickly cleaned out the tub, then washed his hands. He got a floofy towel and dried off Surion.

Surion was a lil trouble maker and had started to army crawl off towards the bedroom completely naked while his father cleaned the ub

Torvil cased after the child with the towel. "Oh no you don't..." He almost caught him before he got out the door.

Surion squeeled happily as he was caught

Torvil chuckled and wrapped him up in the towel, drying him off gently. He chuckled and put him back down, towel and all to go dry himself off.

Surion squirmed till he was out of the towel and then took off again getting better at the army crawling and attempting normal crawling part of the way as he disappeared under the bed

Torvil came back with the towel around his waist. He frowned. "Okay Sur... Where did you go..." He chuckled.

Surion was quiet and laying on his back nearly halfway under the huge tall bed he was intrigued by the underside of the mattress

Torvil chuckled and watched him, before crawling under to. "So... Whatcha looking at?"

"Aaahhhpppffttt" Surion got excited, not only was his father letting him be under there, his father joined him

Torvil chuckled and looked up at the mattress. "Hmmm... Yeah... I see..."

Surion rolled and started crawling again out of under the bed via the opposite side still very naked and enjoying every minute of it as his tail swung happily behind him

Torvil chuckled and followed him. "Okay you... Lets at least get you in a diaper..." He chuckled, crawling out ahead of his son to catch him.

Surion giggled and tried to avoid being caught

Torvil chuckled and snatched him, carrying him to the nursery.

Surion giggled and squirmed in his father's arms

Torvil chuckled and put him down on the changing table, putting a diaper on him quick.

As quick as his father was Surion still tried to get away, he'd been enjoying the complete nakedness

Torvil chuckled, and tried to distract him. "Oh come on you... Dad's gonna get some clothes in a minute..."

"Adahhdahhdahhdahh" Surion replied before blowing a raspberry

Torvil chuckled and finally got the diaper on him, putting him on the floor as he went to get his own clothes.

Surion made a beeline for his toys and was soon pulling them ALL out over his floor as his father went to dress

Torvil came back in with just his pants on, deciding if Surion was going to go near naked, he'd at least follow some of the suit

by the time he had returned Surion had every single toy out and was holding onto the side of the toy bin bouncing

Torvil chuckled and came over. "Having fun?" He asked, sitting next to his son.

"Adahhdahhdahhdahh ffffffffffffffffff" he replied bouncing even more

Torvil chuckled and watched him, turning a bit so he could interact with Surion.

Surion dropped onto his diapered bottom and reached towards his father then pulled his arm back then reached and pulled back

Torvil chuckled and scooted closer, putting Surion in his lap.

Surion giggled and reached up taking hold of his father's hair again

Torvil chuckled, and leaned forward, letting him have it.

Surion pulled on the hair not really knowing that it would hurt as he himself had no hair as he tried to pull himself to stand

Torvil made a pained face but said nothing letting Surion try to stand.

Surion got himself standing on his father's lap squealing happily and still holding the hair

Torvil grinned, albeit painfully, chuckling at his son.

Surion bounced and blew bubbles happily before leaning forward with a very drooly lips and an open mouth planting a baby kiss on his dad's mouth

Torvil smiled and chuckled as his son gave him a baby kiss.

Surion let go of the hair and dropped back down onto his diapered bottom "drdrdrdrdrdrdr" he said reaching towards a stuffed dragon he had tossed a few feet away when he emptied the toybin

Torvil chuckled and touched the floor, linking with the ley. He made the wood floor lift up and bring the dragon to Surion.

Surion giggled happily grabbing the stuffie by it's tail and bringing it to his mouth to chew on

Torvil smiled and let the floor return to it's natural state.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmaa!" he said suddenly looking up at his father

Torvil beamed. "Mom?"

"mmmmmmmmmmaaa!" he repeated looking at his father impatiently as if saying 'course that's what I said'

Torvil chuckled and picked him up to bring him to Ala.

Surion dropped the toy when his dad stood up

Torvil hurried into the bedroom, placing Surion next to Ala. "Love wake up!"

Ala opened an eye slowly looking up at him "Wha.."

Surion reached to his mom and baby-slapped her side

Torvil chuckled. "Surion... Who's this..." He pointed at ala.

"Mmmmmmmmaaa!!" Surion got excited slapping his hand down again

Ala rolled slightly and looked at her son through half open eyes with a smile "That's my boy" she said quietly

Torvil smiled, and brushed Ala's hair with a soft smile.

Ala purred softly and closed her eyes again even as Surion started to try and climb atop of her

Torvil chuckled. "Mommies tired... let her sleep..." He picked up Surion and held him.

"mmmmmmmaaaaa" Surion said

Torvil smiled softly. "Do you want mommy now?" He asked gently?

"Aaadaahdahhdahhdaah" he leaned forward and stuffed a thumb in his mouth as her leaned against his dad

Torvil smiled and held him close. "Okay, I'll stay..." He smiled and left the room to get Surion's blanky.

Surion watched where they were going his empty hand wrapped around his father's hair

Torvil chuckled and picked up Surion's blanket, giving it to him.

Surion let go of the hair to grab the blanket and pull it close to him though it was long enough that it fell from there right down to his father's knees

Torvil chuckled and wrapped his son up in the blanket, heading out to the living room to watch the fireplace.

Surion leaned against his father sucking his thumb quietly

Torvil smiled and sat in an armchair in front of the fireplace watching the flames dance as he sat there in silence.

"Adahhdahhdahhdahhdahh" Surion said quietly not moving from his father's chest

Torvil smiled and started to hum softly. Not a lullaby, but a soft easy song.

It didn't really matter what song was hummed, it still put him to sleep. Surion closed his eyes and soon was asleep against his father

Torvil smiled and sat there happily, closing his eyes to nap.

Surion slept for a while before waking and sitting up reaching and baby-pinching the hairs on his dad's chest

Torvil shivered softly. "Okay... Okay..." He chuckled. "I'm awake..."

"Adahhdahhdahhdahh" Surion said looking up at him still pinching

Torvil chuckled and stood up. "Outside time!" He smirked.

"ououououou" Surion tried to repeat

Torvil chuckled, and headed for the door, not all that worried about the sun.

Surion bounced in his father's arms happily as he was carried

Torvil smiled once they were outside, he lay Surion down in the soft grass of the lawn, which he kept in shape with his Geomancy... Yeah, he's a slacker.

Surion immediately rolled looking around then started army crawling towards a pile of grey fur

Torvil followed him, making sure he'd be okay.

Surion kept going till he got next to the fur and then reached taking hold a fistful

Huh! Wha! The Balan's head shot up and looked to what had grabbed him. Torvil laughed.

The sudden movement startled Surion and he let go whimpering

The Balan smiled weakly and started to sniff the child, moving slow. So this is the child... He mused. Torvil hurried over to make sure Surion was okay when he heard him whimper.

Surion quieted and reached towards the nose that sniffled him

Garion chuckled softly and let the child touch it.

Surion touched it then sat up and went after more fur, something Garion had an abundance of and it intrigued Surion

Garion chuckled and now that he was aware of the goings on let the child have his way.

"AAAhhhh!!" Surion said pulling little fistfuls

Garion winced. Hey now... not so hard... He chuckled softly.

Surion stopped and blinked then looked up at his dad

Torvil smiled and sat down next to Surion. "He talks to you in here..." He tapped his son's head softly.

Surion let go of the fur and stared at the Balan for a minute before leaning sideways and getting back on his belly army crawling through the grass again

Torvil chuckled and followed his son, leaving Garion to curl back up and nap.

Surion made no specific destination.. just moved through the grass changing directions often if something caught his eye for a moment

Torvil chuckled and just followed his son.

Surion eventually got bored and sat up and reached up towards his father "Aaapppttt"

Torvil chuckled and picked him up, taking him back towards the house.

Surion bounced in his father's arms liking looking into his dad's eyes since he knew those glasses were still in a pile of stuffed dragons

Torvil smiled and chuckled. "My aren't you adorable..." He chuckled softly.

Surion blew bubbles at him and grinned widely showing off his few sharp pointy teeth

Torvil chuckled and brushed his son's cheek.

Surion went after the hand that brushed his cheek

Torvil chuckled. "Do you want liquid or Solid?" He asked softly.

Surion closed his mouth on Torvil's hand chewing as if on a teething ring

Torvil chuckled and let his son chew on his hand.

Surion looked up at him "Adahhdahhdahhdahh" he said letting go of the hand

Torvil chuckled, and slowly stood, heading for the house.

Surion babbled as he was carried

Torvil chuckled and entered the house, heading for Surion's room.

Surion bounced in his father's arms

Torvil beamed and put Surion in his crib, humming softly and he brushed his son's head.

Surion looked up at him and reached up giving his gather grabby hands

Torvil chuckled and got Surion's Blanky, giving it to him.

Surion took the blanket and stuffed his other thumb in his mouth before rolling onto his side 1/2 covered by his blanket

Torvil smiled and kept humming, waiting for Surion to fall asleep.

Surion eventually did doze off

Torvil left the room heading for his and Ala's going through the mental checklist.

Ala was still in bed

Torvil moved over beside her and started checking vitals.

Ala stirred lightly as he did

"Tired?" He murmured, going over her pulse, which seemed normal

Ala opened an eye and looked up at him "Yeah" she said quietly

Torvil just nodded and clicked his tongue, still trying to figure it out.

Ala rolled to face him moving a hand onto his lap

Torvil took her hand, and kept working.

Ala smiled softly "Love you" she said

Torvil smiled. "Love you too, and am very worried..."

"I just feel tired... nothing but tired..." she said

Torvil nodded. "Have you done anything weird lately?"

"Besides navigating the Nether and going to the city? no" she said quietly

Torvil nodded and kept up his inspection of her, leaving not a part out. Having to remove certain articles of clothing to check.

Ala watched him for a few before closing her eyes again

Torvil was stumped. He sat there and watched her face.

Ala took a deep breath and let it out before opening her eyes again

Torvil watched her eyes. "Something wrong?"

"Tired of being tired" she said quietly

Torvil nodded. "You want me to give you some stims?"

"If you want to" she said quietly

Torvil shook his head. "No... No... Just might make it worse..."

"Cuddle?" she asked quietly

Torvil nodded and cuddled with her, pulling her close thinking over possible causes.

Ala cuddled closely closing her eyes and nodding off again

It finally dawned on Torvil the amount of effort she must have exerted to use the nether....

Ala slept softly against him

Torvil just held her, knowing sleep would be the best for her now.

He let her sleep for a few hours before going to check on Surion.

Surion sat playing with a toy attached to the side of his crib

Torvil smiled and brushed his son's cheek when he reached him

"Adahdahh" Surion reached up at him letting go of the toy

Torvil chuckled and picked him up, heading for the changing table to start.

Surion blew happy bubbles as he was carried

Torvil smiled and lay him down on the table and started to check to see if he needed changing.

Surion did need changing but didn't sit still for it to be checked

Torvil preempted that problem by holding his son down by his tummy.

Surion squirmed trying to get away from the hand

Torvil just held him steady as he changed him one handed.

Surion gave up and looked at his father with a look of 'hurry up'

Torvil finished and looked back at him. "And you need to watch the tone of your looks..." He said softly. "I'm your father..."

"aaappppppfftttt" Surion said kicking his legs and swinging his arms around

Torvil picked him up and headed for Ala's room.

Ala wasn't in the bed when they arrived

Torvil smiled. "Ala?" He called out softly.

Ala didn't quite here him call, she was in their bathroom mostly submerged in water trying to work the last of the tiredness out of her body

Torvil put Surion on the bed and checked the bathroom, he could sorta smell her in there.

Ala was sitting up again in the tub when he walked in

Surion rolled and army crawled across the bed poking his little head over the edge looking down

Torvil smiled. "I see you got up..." He chuckled.

Ala nodded "Where's Surion" she asked seeing only Torvil

"On the bed..." he turned around quickly to make sure the small one wasn't about to make a nose dive.

Surion was looking at the floor reaching for it over the edge of the bed

Ala looked at him wideeyed "Torvil! he can roll! don't leave him there alone!"

Torvil hurried into the bedroom, having not really been thinking about that.

Surion blew bubbles reaching downwards with both arms

Torvil quickly snatched up his son, putting him down on the floor.

"Addahhdahhdahhdahh!" Surion said looking up at him

Ala wandered out of the bathroom wrapped in her robe, she still looked tired but no where near as bad

Torvil smiled and sat down with his son on the floor. "Yes son?"

"drdrdrdr" he said reaching after his dad's tail

Ala chuckled softly and crossed over sitting on the edge of the bed

Torvil chuckled and snaked his tail towards Surion, dangling it just slightly out of his reach.

"drdrdrdrddr" Surion leaned forward trying to grab hold of it

Torvil chuckled and finally let him catch it.

Surion took hold of the tail and went after it mouth open as he pulled it close

Ala chuckled "Your turn this time"

Torvil chuckled and smirked. "I'm sure I can take whatever punishment he dishes out..."

"I'm sure you can love" she said and reached down picking Surion up Torvil's tail and all

Surion looked up as he was picked up "Mmmmmmaaa"

Torvil smiled and chuckled.

"Let go of daddy's tail little man, Mommy wants to feed you" she said trying to get the tail from Surion's grip

Torvil chuckled and tried to pull his Tail from Surion.

Ala managed to detach the two of them then moved onto the bed working on feeding her son

Torvil smiled and wrapped his tail around her leg, moving to sit next to them.

Ala looked over at him as she fed Surion. "I don't know Torvil, don't have a clue" she said not indicating anything in particular

Torvil blinked. "Huh?"

"Why I was so tired" she said simply

Torvil just nodded slowly. "Ah..."

Ala nodded and grew quiet

Torvil leaned over and kissed her cheek. "Nether I think..."

"Huh?" Ala blinked and looked at him

"The Nether I think it wore you down..."

"Ok..." she said nodding slowly

Torvil hugged her close with one arm.

"Don't quite get that but ok" Ala said with a sigh

Torvil hugged her. "You know how I get sometimes?"

"Uhm kinda" Ala said looking back up at him

Torvil nodded slowly. "Well that's basically what happened to you..."

Ala blink and stared at him for a time before slowly nodding

"Funny though... That it delayed so long..." He stroked his chin.

"who knows, perhaps it was the second trip? with Asmodeus I mean..." Ala asked

Torvil shrugged. "You never know..." He murmured...

"Nope never do" she said looking back at Surion

Torvil kissed her cheek again. Then looked down to Surion.

Ala smiled softly stroking her son's face as he ate

Torvil smiled at her and hummed softly.

Ala smiled and watched the effect the humming had on her son, she knew it wouldn't take long to get him back to sleep, not only cause the factor it was night but the humming always got him to sleep

Torvil smiled and kept on humming happily, looking at his son.

Surion dozed off in Ala's arms grabby hands moving in his sleep

Torvil chuckled and went to get his son's blanket.

Ala shook her head " You love that blanket don't you my son" Ala said softly

Torvil chuckled coming in with the blanket.

Ala held her son out to Torvil to take and put in bed

Torvil smiled and wrapped Surion up in his blanket, heading for the nursery.

Ala smiled and sat back relaxing and waiting for his return

Torvil came back a short while later. "Sur's all tucked in..."

"Good stuff love, so what shall we do now?" she asked

Torvil flopped onto the bed. "What do you want to do?"

"Something other then sleeping" she said with a sigh

Torvil nodded and lay on his back.

Ala stared at the windows unsure what to do

Torvil watched her. "We could feed you..." he murmured.

"Feed me?" she looked over at him

"You know... Food in your belly... "

"Oh yeah" she laughed "I imagine that would be a good idea" Ala rolled out of the bed and headed for the kitchen

Ala's Journal

Dear Diary

Well I'm finally able to stay awake, took nearly two days but I'm better now. Still a lil tired but not so bad. Torvil has been taking care of our son for which I am quite glad. He left our son alone on the bed today though and for that I'm not glad of, Surion could have easily gotten hurt!!! *sigh* I suppose he needs to be reminded Surion isn't like the other 3 kids

Torvil's Journal

Dear Journal,

EEEEEP! Note to self, remember that as smart as Surion is he's not like the other three and shouldn't be left on the bed alone for more then ten seconds if I put him in the middle, and not at all if I put him near an end. I lucked out, and got back before he took a header, but Visha do I feel bad about that. Ala's woken up now, which is good. I'm kinda glad I've gotten to take the time I've had with Surion... And also on that note... Surion met Garion.. That was funny. Well I'm gonna see if I can go and do something around the shop... I've heard Malcolm's shown up again, and Vina was here for a visit...

Life not always a bowl of cherries

(( Pre-word on the Drow people's that are referred to in this RP ))


Torvil tossed on his robe, heading out to the nursery when he heard noise.

Ala took a moment then got up grabbing her own robe and ambled her way after him

Torvil was smiling and standing in the doorway. Garion wasn't in there but Noirag was, his shadow tendrils making Surion's toys play with him, Torvil's romani's were on Noirag face.

Surion giggled reaching after the toys as they came near

Noirag was having a ball, not noticing the parent's at all.

Ala watched them from beside Torvil and chuckled softly

Noirag looked to Ala when she chuckled, his ears perking. He kept the tendrils going though.

"Hi Noirag" Ala said leaning on the door

Noirag smiled. Hey... Surion's been good... Not fussed at all... Changed him...

Ala smiled and nodded "Thanks"

Do I need to go now? He asked his ears drooping a little, one of the Tendrils going low enough for Surion to grab a toy.

"You look like you are having fun" Ala mused

Surion reached and giggled happily taking the toy that was in his grasp

Noirag let him have it with a smile. I am... But I can go if you need me to...

Ala looked at Torvil

Torvil shrugged. "I'm having fun watching..."

Ala chuckled "I'm going to get food started, he can play till it's time to eat" she pushed away from the wall and headed for the kitchen

Torvil smiled and watched Noirag and Surion play.

Ala went to the kitchen and cooked and prepared Surion's food and all that fun stuff then went in search of Vina to let her know it was supper time if she cared to join them

Vina refused the offer for supper, having already eaten, but jumped at the chance to see Surion.

Ala nodded and headed back to the house "Torvil supper time" she called before walking back into the kitchen

Torvil nodded and got Surion, but not before Noirag gave the boy a lick on the cheek for goodbye

Surion giggled baby-slapping Noirag's head as he was picked up

Ala served hers and Torvil's supper and put Surion's bowl and spoon on the table

Torvil brought Surion out with a smile and watched Noirag leave.

Ala had his chair open and ready

Torvil sat Surion down in the chair and Vina smiled sitting and not eating, but desiring some company.

Ala looked at Vina "Care to feed your brother?" she asked offering the bowl to her

Vina smiled. "Sure!" She got up and moved her chair closer to Surion so she could feed him.

Ala handed her the bowl and took a seat to eat her own meal

Torvil ate as Vina started to dish out cereal to your youngest brother.

Surion giggled happily and leaned forward mouth open towards his sister

Vina smiled and put the spoon into his mouth.

Surion ate it and blew raspberries too

Vina giggled and used a wing as a shield, playing peek-a-boo while she fed him.

Surion had fun being fed and a few times tried to reach and grasp a feather

Vina giggled and once let him get one of her big ones... It was near molting anyway.

This excited Surion and he tried, like with everything he got his hands on, to eat it

Vina giggled. "Silly Surion..." She pulled it from his mouth before it got too damaged. "That's not what you do with it..." She tickled his nose with it.

Surion giggled kicking his little feet

Vina smiled softly and patted his cheek.

Surion giggled happily

There was a sudden crashing noise in the vicinity of Selene's old room. Torvil got up quickly.

"What the?" Ala said looking up

Torvil just waved at her and headed out.

Vina's wings had instinctively wrapped around Surion and his highchair.

Ala followed after her mate leaving her son in the protection of her daughter

Torvil had gone into Selene's room, and came back looking pale. In one hand was a rock, in the other a parchment like paper made of something not available to the local area...

"What is it love?" she asked from where she was near the doorway of the kitchen

Torvil looked to Ala. "Joman... he's... He's..." He closed his eyes and shook his head. "Joman's been kidnapped..."

"Oh dear Visha... " Ala said and looked towards her daughter

Vina's head had snapped up and her wings were flared. There were tears in her eyes, but the look on her face was pure rage.

Ala crossed the room towards Vina

Vina just held a hand out to her. "Daddy..." She looked to Torvil.

Torvil sighed. "Yes darlin?"

"I want you to go get Joman back..." She said in the softest voice ever.

Torvil nodded. "I know love... and I'm gonna..." He said softly. "Will you watch Surion while I'm gone?"

Ala stood near Vina watching between them

Vina nodded. "Of course dad... He's my brother... I'll stay and watch him... That is... If mom's going..." Vina would have gone... But she was pregnant... and due... soon...

Ala nodded "I should get something done to get ready to go" she said going to a cupboard to grab something then disappearing from the room

Torvil tapped his chin. "This is from the under caves... I'm going to have to see someone about charms to make us look like Drow..." He said softly musing.

Surion babbled not really knowing what was going on

Vina wiped some tears away and picked him up with a smile. "Sweet innocence..." She sniffled. Then hugged Surion close and started to sob.

Surion looked up at her and whimpered

Vina bit her lip and just hugged him, using his softness and warmth to soothe her aching heart. Torvil came over and hugged them both.

Ala came back a while later with a jar it was a decent size "Milk for Surion" she said showing it to Vina before sticking it in the fridge

Vina nodded. "I'm getting near that point too..." She mused. "Not quite... I don't think till after the kids are born..." She said softly. "But I'll make sure he gets some.

Torvil sighed and patted Vina's cheek. "Ala... Do you know someone who can charm us to look like Drow?"

Ala nodded "He also drinks blood from a wrist if you need to.. " she looked at her mate "Not really, I don't know that the Kerrsal do that kind of charm or not... "

Torvil frowned. "We're going to be hard pressed if we can't find somebody..." He said softly.

"You could always go ask while I prepare here, who knows maybe Danyen knows more about my people then I do..." she said stating something she knew was fact

Torvil nodded. "Be back in a minute..." With that he vanished.

Ala nodded and turned to Vina "Don't worry we'll get him" she said softly

Vina sniffled and opened her free arm. She needed hugs.

Ala moved in and wrapped her arms around Vina tightly

Vina started to cry again, her wings surrounding the three.

Ala held her tightly trying to comfort her

Torvil returned a little later and Vina let go of Ala.

Ala smiled softly

Vina wiped her eyes. "Well you two should go..." Torvil nodded, but quickly went to get dressed.

"We'll get him... you just take care of yourself and your little brother" she said softly

Vina nodded. "Kay..."

Torvil came out dressed in cliff garb, having nothing better till he could reach the undercaves.

Ala kissed her cheek softly and kissed her son "Miss you lil man" she said before tearing herself away and heading to the bedroom

Torvil gave both Vina and Surion hugs and kisses, said his goodbyes, and followed.

Ala waited for him and then looked at him "So? what did he say?"

"He knows... We have to see him now... But it'll only last a week..."

"Then we better hurry, I really don't want to be gone that long if I can help it" she said with a nod she knew Vina knew how to care for Surion, heck she had a couple times briefly she just also knew her nerves would be on edge every second they were gone

Torvil nodded and quickly jumped them directly, knowing enough to actually attempt a mental shield, if Ala got mad she got mad... He landed in Danyen's office... Risky, but necessary.

Ala watched Torvil

Danyen looked up "Back again I see" he said with a slight sigh

Torvil sighed. "an emergency... We need the charm... Please..." He looked at his feet. "I am your humble servant, please... I am in your debt..."

"I had a feeling you might be back for that" Danyen replied putting his feet on the floor. He walked towards them a hand inside his robe

Torvil looked to him, not moving, ready for anything, but unable to strike out unless the oath was absolved.

Danyen looked between the two of them, After a few minutes he pulled out a small vial that held swirling liquids "Your wife makes Kerrsalian water, take it at least 15 minutes before setting out on your quest, and remember what I said about how long I could make it last... if you finish before it wears off on it's own you will need to see me again or just wait it out" he said seriously handing the vial to Torvil

Torvil nodded and bowed down, kissing the hem of Danyen's robes... "Thank you my Master..." His voice cracked.

Danyen sighed "You don't need to be doing that" he said turning and floating away "Now you better get moving" he said going back to what he was doing

Ala looked down at him

Torvil sighed. "I must unless you absolve the bond master..." He said softly before standing and rejoining Ala.

"I'm no one's master, that includes you, and if it takes telling you something is absolved so be it" Danyen replied

Torvil felt the tingle let go. "OH THANK VISHA!" He wiped his brow. "that was a hell and a half..."

Danyen raised a brow and shook his head looking down at his papers

Torvil chuckled softly and pulled Ala close. "Off we go..." He mused, and jumped them to the cliffs, but way at the bottom.

Ala sighed "This is going to be a long few days I can feel it"

Torvil hugged her tight. "This is for our daughter and her husband... Surion will be fine... and we'll be out of here before too long..." He dredged up all the info he knew on the Drow and sighed. "We'll need to stop by the treasury here quickly..."

Ala nodded "Well lets get started"

Torvil nodded and started walking to the treasury, people making way... They all knew...

Ala followed him she was nervous was trying not to let it show even though she knew they could smell it

Torvil brushed her hair... The stop at the treasury was short... The Ransom had been the death of Vina's children... and Torvil wasn't going to allow that... He gathered as much gold as he could, melted it and cast it into coins. re-bagging it he headed out back towards the large cave mouth that had been blocked off.

Ala followed and helped best she could

Torvil smiled at her. "Okay love... best we take this now..." He handed her the vial. "You first..:"

Ala nodded and her eyes shifted green, she created a glass filling it with her waters and then drank some, she took half of the vial's contents and drank some more waters before handing both to Torvil

Torvil did the same, letting her fill the glass of course.

Ala made the glass disappear once he was done and stood there quietly waiting

Torvil took her arm, and headed over the blockaded down into the darkness that would become the undercaves

"And so we start" she said with a nod "are we dressed appropriately?" she asked not sure how Danyen's charm would work exactly if it'd just be her body or her entire appearance and she wasn't looking at Torvil right then

Torvil looked. "We'll have to get new clothes... but I must say, you'd look good as a Drow..." Her skin was already shifting dark to his eyes

Ala chuckled "You know how little I actually know about these people?

Torvil chuckled. "I know love... I know enough to keep us from getting killed... I hope..."

Ala chuckled "All right"

As they walked it started to grow a bit lighter as phosphorescent mold lit the walls.

Ala looked at her mate and chuckled

"What's so funny..." He asked.

"Looks like I married a Drow now" she whispered

Torvil looked at his arm. "Well I'll be..." He was almost night black. He checked his hair, which had a very light blue tint to the silver white

Ala smiled just watching him

They walked for about a day, Torvil not feeling the need to sleep. They came to a small gate guarded by two Drow, each wore a black sash with a white hand on it. Each had two cruel looking daggers on their belts. "Hold!" Said one as he stepped forwards.

Ala stopped beside Torvil when they were told to hold

"Name..." The guard said.

Torvil puffed out his chest. "Kizik Daggerdancer..." The guards looked at each other and grinned. "Prove it..." Said one.

Torvil glared. "Give me a set of daggers and I shall..." The guard that had stopped them tossed Torvil his, and the other stepped forwards.

Ala stepped to the side

Torvil set up in a ready position and the other did as well. Torvil had a strange smile on his face, making him look very sinister, especially with his black eyes.

Ala stood with her arms crossed part of her expression reading the hurry the hell up where as her eyes were traveling up and down the other men

Torvil charged the other man and they fought, knives flashing fast and aiming deadly. The other male was sizing up Ala as well but watching the match also.

Ala's stance or expression didn't change as the match continued

Torvil drove one of his daggers up through the other man's jaw and into his brain, the blood from the blow getting on his face and arms. He laughed triumphantly and tossed the other man his daggers, and then stripped the man he'd slain.

Ala moved towards her mate with haste almost literally pouncing him

Torvil growled loudly and the two rolled for a bit before he got up and finished stripping the man and putting on his clothes, sheathing the daggers and smiling. He licked his lips. "Mmm, that was a fun fight!" He grinned at the other guard, who just opened the gate and let them through.

Ala grinned walking through the gate with her mate

Torvil chuckled and whispered in her ear. "Good show there love... Now remember... Uber mean and bitchy... Don't take no for an answer... especially not from me..."

Ala nodded and pushed him away

Torvil walked with her but not... Acting like he owned the place. He stopped by a booth that had strange looking plants... And bought everything, shoving lord knows how many anti-toxins down his gullet.

Ala pushed her hair over her shoulder and looked impatient "Gimme some" she demanded, she deep down hated acting like this but she knew she had to

Torvil huffed and handed her some. "And we're getting you out of that ridiculous outfit... I don't know what possessed you to wear it... You look like a beggar..." Torvil acted all puffed up and arrogant.

"Perhaps it was just being around you" she huffed back and grabbed the stuff he was handing to her

Torvil snorted at her and growled he caressed his daggers and sneered. "Hurry up!"

"Don't you tell me to hurry up I'll be done when I'm done" she finished a few moments later

Torvil growled and sneered at her again. "I'll tell you whatever I want to tell you woman!"

"Don't mean I need to listen" she said and walked past him in the direction they had been previously walking

Torvil grabbed her arm, spun her around, and slapped her. "You will listen to me you wench!"

"I will not" she said pulling her arm roughly from his grasp "I will do what I want and when I want to do it"

Torvil growled and grabbed her arm again pulling her closer and growling. "You will do as I command you woman..." He hissed at her giving her another resounding backhand.

Ala turned her head back to face him after he backhanded her eyes narrowed "You.. do not command me" she growled loudly reaching up and scratching him across the face narrowly missing his eye

Torvil growled and bit her on the shoulder, and that's when it got bad. Somehow they ended up on the ground, and punches started to fly from Torvil's end, as well as biting.

A ring had quickly formed around them and the other Drow were shouting encouragement. The woman for Ala and the males for Torvil.

Ala was giving it her all, biting him and very often scratching. As she fought her side of this staged fight

Torvil bit her ear and whispered. "Okay... this is it... I need to you go limp... now!" His hand came down on her neck what looked like hard, but actually he barely touched it.

Ala dropped like a rock when he 'hit'

Torvil got up and brushed himself up, then picked her up, moving through the crowd. All the men were cheering, which earned more than a few slaps, kicks, or even bites.

Ala 'stirred' as he carried her

Torvil put her down then. "Okay... Lets get you out of these rags..."

Ala nodded wrapping her arms around her torso

Torvil walked over to a booth, and bought her a practically sheer outfit, that left nothing to the imagination. "Put it on now..."

Ala took the clothing and got changed

Torvil watched her tapping his chin. Others watched her too, it was a very mean and spiteful thing to to, and he got quite a few nods from males from it, and glares from women.

Ala eyed the males the got glares from her even though she was sizing them up

Torvil smirked and once she was done. "Lets find us a place to stay..." He brought his mouth close to her ear. "Then we gather information..."

Ala nodded and sighed softly

"I know, it's rough... I'm sorry... but it's for Vina..." He broke away slowly and walked.

Ala nodded as if being told things but in actuality nodding her acknowledgement

Torvil found them a room at an apartment of sorts and got them situated. "We can go out for info now or rest..." He murmured..." Or rather... Not rest... as Drow rarely sleep in beds..."

"I want to get him and get out as fast as we can, the less time we spend lollygagging the better" she murmured

Torvil nodded and took her hands... "But we'll have to rest sometime or they'll ask questions.. They're not stupid... They will notice weird fast..."

"Yes, we will I'm just not tired yet" she replied

Torvil nodded. "Alright... Then back out we go..." He said softly.

Ala nodded "got to establish ourselves a little"

Torvil nodded. "You realize that I own you now..." He whispered. "Once we're out that door I can do anything to you and you can't tell me no..."

Ala nodded "Yeah you explained it on the way here"

Torvil nodded and smiled softly, heading for the door.

Ala followed after him quickly giving him a kiss

Torvil purred and held the kiss for a moment.

Ala broke away "lets go" she whispered

Torvil nodded and headed out. They walked a little, Torvil just barely dropping hints about things and getting info, that was until they ran into a woman who thought she knew better. "No, I don't know anything about a Joman..."

Ala walked near him eying the males they spoke to and being a down right grumpy b***h

Torvil just rolled his eyes and walked away from the woman. "Hey! Get back here, I haven't finished yet!" She yelled

"Yes you are" Ala snapped at her before turning to follow her mate

Torvil smiled. That was until another Drow tapped him on the shoulder. "Your woman just insulted my woman... I'm here to settle the score..." He growled.

"Want I should insult you too?" she asked snarkily to the male that approached them

Torvil grinned. "No... I think he wants to die over it..." He drew his daggers. The other man's eyes narrowed and he drew his.

Ala nodded to her mate

Torvil grinned and the two charged. The crowed around them dispersed a bit but a lot watched the two men go at it.

Ala watched them hands on her hips

Torvil cut the man across the chest, dodged a blow to the eyes and stabbed him in the side before dancing away, and that was his first two blows of the duel.

Ala watched them though her eyes wandered to other males around them

Torvil finally just ended the bloodily... well at least on his opponents end... duel, with a swift strike across the throat.

Ala grinned seeing the fight end and again she literally pounced him

Torvil purred and again just rolled them around on the street, getting rather rough in this little make out session they had before he got up and started looking the other Drow.

Ala panted for a moment the got up brushing her new clothing off

Torvil growled and nipped at her as he came back, still actually charged from the fight and their little two minute romp.

Ala grinned as he nipped at her

Torvil nuzzled her neck right there in the middle of the street... Nipping along it slowly towards her ear, purring.

Ala tipped her head as he moved along her neck

Torvil purred and then stopped, not letting himself get too worked up as he broke away with a large grin, the people staring, a few snapping fingers and walking off.

Ala looked up at him with a slight grin

Torvil nipped at her once more before walking on.

Ala followed after her mate

Torvil finally decided to check on where they had Joman held. In the general stockade...

Ala was curious to see what they were up against and followed him

They found Joman in the stocks, right out front, guarded by two necromancers, their violet eyes glaring at the two of them as Torvil just looked at Joman.

Ala looked at Joman as if ogling him though in reality making sure he was ok and wishing she was able to send mental messages

Torvil tapped his foot... And Joman smirked, he coughed strangely for a moment and smacked his knee against the stand of the stocks. Which got him cuffed by the guards for being a nuisance. Torvil just sort of nodded, kicked dirt at him and stormed off.

Ala gave him one more 'look' then turned and chased after Torvil

Torvil waited for maybe two seconds, looking as if he was deciding where to go.

Ala caught up to him when he stopped

"He's fine..." Torvil leaned over and whispered. "He said they change the guard every four hours..."

Ala nodded "Ok Kizik" she replied as if replying to something he told her to do

Torvil grinned. "Good..." He said aloud. "Now lets be off for home..."

Ala nodded again turning in the direction of their 'home'

Torvil started walking, faking a yawn and pulling her close to him, pretty much showing her off.

Ala's eyes traveled over he people around them as they walked

Torvil finally reached the apartment and pushed her through the door.

Ala sighed as they entered

Torvil hugged her and sighed. "He's okay, that's the good news... now to get him out..." He let her go and sat down on the bed.

"Out of there and then out of here... can we reach the nether from down here?" she asked quietly sitting beside him

"Yes..." He said softly. "But it's taking care of the Necromancer guards... and the fact that he's held in plain sight..." He mused. "We may have to collapse the cave when we leave..."

"Energy help in that?" she asked closing a hand and pointed at it asking without asking in case someone listened

"It might... I could always..." He pantomimed tapping the ley and bringing it all down*

Ala nodded her agreement

"We'll see what he... wants..."

"I imagine he wants to see... them again" she moved her hands as if moving them over a large pregnant belly

"I'm sure..." Torvil nodded and looked up at the roof. "And he may not want to see them..." He pointed at himself, meaning Drow. "Again..."

"Wouldn't shock me" she sighed

Torvil put an arm around her shoulder and sighed. "I miss..." he motioned cradling his arms and rocking them.

"I miss too" Ala said looking down at herself "Uhm I have to ... fix something" she said noticing she had begun to leak a little from the milk

Torvil nodded and looked around. "Uh..." He would have blushed but he made a few motions to let her know how he felt he could help.

Ala nodded knowing the only way to get rid of the problem temporarily was to relieve the milk

Torvil slowly moved forwards.

Ala lay back........

Torvil's Journal

Dear Journal,

This was risky to bring, but I had to keep this notated somehow. Visha I miss Surion, very, very much... So much that it hurst a bit on the inside. I can't let it show though. This is rough going. But we have to do it, for Vina's sake. I can't believe they kidnapped him. Joman told me when I had him alone one day that his brother helped him escape, faked his own death. There's a lot of strife going on down here, and I've heard whispers of a war with the upperlands... That means the cliffs. I want to prevent that if I can... I have a plan, but I don't know if I should go through with it. It could kill a lot of the Drow... But then agian... Don't the deserve it for all the harm they cause... Do they have the same right to life that we do... Part of me says yes, but another part of me says to go along with my plan. Part of me says that I have enough blood on my hands, but another says that none of these are innocents and I shouldn't worry... I don't know... I'll see how it goes... I never felt any sort of love for the Drow, they've always been protrayed and monsters in Elf's clothing... but I don't know if I can admit to that. I'll play it by ear... Well, I really should get ready to move on... I think I've got a plan on how to free Joman... You know what... If we take Joman with us, they will attack the cliffs... They're already ready for war, and I won't let that happen... For my family... For Surion... If they take the cliffs... No... I won't even let them get close... I'm going to bring the roof down around their ears...

Life not always a bowl of cherries ~ part 2

After they had rested for awhile, Torvil came up with a plan... Ala was going to be the center of it... he needed his hands free...

Ala sat up and reached for the clothing glad she had only worn the simplest cheapest cliff garb she had as she pulled the new clothing on

Torvil slipped his own clothes on..." Okay here's the plan... I'm going to cause a disturbance to get most of the other guards away... You need to go, snipe the two guards with your energy, jump Joman to the gate, and then start taking out support columns... They look like this..." he tapped the pillar sticking out of the wall.

Ala nodded "Got ya"

Torvil smiled and gave her a tight hug. "Okay, I'm going first... Count to twenty then follow after... Ready..." He kissed her and ran out. "go"

Ala shift her power to her Kerrsalian side, in the disguise she had it only lightened her eyes a tad. she counted to twenty then slipped out of the apartment looking around then sauntering looking full of herself and bitchy out of the building and quickly in the direction of the stocks

People parted for her as they saw her mood, no one wanting to deal with some one who went toe to toe with a daggerdancer in a fight... Not to mention there was a sudden explosion near the council of three's chamber.

Ala picked up her pace walking hands in fists. soon as she got close enough she looked discretely around for the majority of the guards

Just two guarded Joman, the rest were gone, and these ones only had black eyes.

Ala lifted a hand and opened it, there was a tiny energy ball in it which she flicked her hand sending directly at the guards head quickly followed by a second at the second guard

The guards went down like sacks of bricks, just toppling, one's head was bleeding where he'd hit the stocks.

Ala connected to the nether and disappeared from where she was reappearing a minute or so later beside Joman

Joman looked up at her. "Thank god..." He muttered. "I thought you were some floozy Torvil picked up... He didn't tell me he brought you along in his message... just that it was him and that you were figuring a way to get you out..."

"Nope, my hair changed since you last saw me" she said "now come-on we have to get to the main gates we're bringing this place down" she said extending her hand to him

Joman took it. "There is a god in heaven..." He muttered.

Ala chuckled softly "close your eyes Joman" she said then once he had pulled him into the nether pausing only long enough not to be considered a direct jump so she didn't forget the top of her to-do list then landed them near the gates

Joman gasped. "Holy hell what was that!"

"The Nether, it's how we are getting out of here" she said letting him go and balling her fists for a moment opening them again with larger green balls in them and started throwing the energy at the pillars creating new balls after each throw

Torvil blipped in shortly thereafter holding his shoulder. "One of the dancers got me.." He chuckled. "Hey Joman, say bye to your family... This is the last time you'll probably see them..." Joman nodded and waved the Drow city a single finger salute.

Ala smiled briefly at her mate still taking out the pillars

Torvil smiled. "Once you get the last one... I'll do my part..." He grinned.

"Ok see you on the other side then.. Joman we're out of here soon I send this last ball so close your eyes and get ready" she said pausing to make sure he did

Joman shut his eyes and waited. Torvil smiled, already linking up with the ley

Ala threw the energy HARD and turned the instant it was out of her hand grabbing Joman and pulling him into the Nether and landing on the other side waiting for Torvil

Torvil popped in a few minutes later. "Hoooboy..." he said shaking his head. "That was close..."

"It's done then?" she asked standing with Joman, she had told him when they landed that it was safe to open his eyes and the two had been standing in the other side's robes

"Yeah... I don't think there will be anymore Drow coming out of the undercaves... I don't think anyone could survive that much rock coming down on their heads..."

Ala nodded and turned to Joman "You ready to go see your wife?"

Joman practically jumped in Ala's arms.

Ala chuckled "Close your eyes Joman and we'll get ya to the house, she's at our home still watching Surion"

Joman nodded and shut his eyes. Torvil put a hand on Ala as well.

Ala took a deep breath and pulled them back through the Nether dropping them all in the middle of the living room of their home

Vina tossed a book at the three, it hitting Torvil square upside the head before she realized her husband was one of the Drow.

"Vina! your father!" Ala said dropping down on the closest seat possible

Torvil just stood there rubbing his head. "Always me... never anyone else..."

Ala chuckled softly looking around and presumed her son was in bed since she did not see him

"I tucked him in... Do you mind if Joman and I spend the night?"

"Of course not, Torvin's old room is the only spare room with a bed, or you can use a guest room upstairs of the shop" Ala said with a yawn

"We'll take Torvin's... And We'll let you get to bed..." She smiled and got up, Joman following after.

Ala smiled softly and waved at them her eyes half open even though it wasn't really all that late

Torvil scooped her up and headed for their room.

"Tired" she said with a sigh

Torvil nodded. "I am too..." He lay her in bed and crawled next to her, pulling up the blanket.

"I used a lot of energy to deal with those pillars... and the Neth..." her words went incomplete as she fell fast asleep

Torvil chuckled and hugged her close as his body likewise shut down from the ley draining

Next Day

Torvil awoke a little later and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He froze and tensed, staring into the mirror before realizing that the Drow in it was himself... "We're going to have to visit Danyen..."

Surion babbled playfully in his crib playing with his toys

Ala slept soundly

Torvil grumbled and brushed his hair, heading for Surion's room, wondering if his son would recognize him.

"Adahhhdahhdahh!" Surion called out before Torvil reached the room

Torvil chuckled and slowly entered. "Sur... It's daddy okay.... He just looks funny..."

Surion looked up at him and stared blinking no expression on his face besides confusion

Torvil chuckled softly, and started to hum a song he knew Surion would know.

"Aahhh??" Surion reached a hand up pointing his finger at Torvil

Torvil smiled. "Dad..." He said, walking over and brushing Surion's cheek.

Surion turned his head looking at the hand and reaching for it

Torvil chuckled and let him take it.

Surion stared at the hand "Aaahhhpppffttt" he said and pulled the hand to his mouth to chew on

Torvil chuckled a little louder, picking him up with one arm and letting him chew on his hand as he walked back to the bedroom.

Surion chewed "nyanyahnyah" he vocalized

Torvil chuckled and reached the bed, laying down with Surion next to Ala.

Surion let go of his father's hand and sat up on the bed

Torvil smiled and looked up at his son. "So what do you think of mommy and daddy and how they look..."

Surion squealed and leaned forward baby-slapping his father's face

Torvil chuckled. "Eh? You like it... Maybe I'll talk mommy into keeping it for a week..." He chuckled.

Surion rolled on his side and onto his belly proceeding to head down the bed "Mmmmmmmmaa"

Torvil chuckled and moved slowly, following him down. "Ala..."

Ala stirred and opened her eyes "what.." she said tiredly

Surion carried on down the bed

Torvil moved and scooped him up, putting him back down at the top of the bed. "Your son wants to see you..."

Ala propped herself up on her elbow "Hey little man" she said with a smile looking at him

Surion stared at her before reaching and baby-slapping her too "Aaahhpppff"

Torvil chuckled and smiled, watching his son who didn't seem to care his parent's looked different.

Ala chuckled

Surion turned again heading down the bed once again "Mmmmaaaa"

Torvil chuckled and followed slowly. "How are you doing love?"

"Tired but ok, not as tired as a few days ago but still tired" she replied

"Vvvvvvvvvvvvveeee" he called out still crawling

Vina came into the room. "Surion? Oh! Hi mom, hi dad!"

Torvil smiled and waved at Vina and nodded at Ala.

Surion reached up to her "Vvvvvvvvvvvveeee"

"Morning Vina" Ala said sitting up watching her son curiously

Vina smiled and came over, picking him up. "Hey lil Sur..." She smiled.
Torvil watched.

Ala looked to her mate "Interesting...." she mused

Surion babbled in Vina's arms looking up at her

Torvil chuckled. "Yeah..."

Vina smiled and bounced him softly. "Hey... He was a good boy..."

Ala shook her head "I men it interesting to the fact I'm not sure he believes his ears over his eyes" Ala said

Surion giggled happily

Vina giggled and shook her head. "I'm sure he 's just confused..." She giggled. "Why don't you go see the guy who did it?"

"Well I'd have to say that's feasible considering you threw a book at your dad's head last night too" Ala sat up and turned to her husband

Torvil chuckled. "I'd say lets go..." He said softly.

Ala nodded and looked down at herself "I think I should change first... this may be acceptable in the Drow eyes but somehow I doubt with the Kerrsalians"

Torvil chuckled. "Yeah... But keep it around... I like it..." He smirked.

Vina gasped. "FATHER!"

Ala laughed and pushed back the blanket climbing from the bed and heading for the wardrobe the full extent of the outfit becoming rather obvious

Vina froze. "Oh good lord... She might as well not be wearing anything!" Vina said. "It's indecent!"

Torvil smirked. "And I like it!"

Ala laughed "Kept them from becoming suspicious so we could get your mate out Vina" Ala said grabbing some clothing and heading into the bathroom

Vina nodded. "But dad wants you too keep it!" She giggled. "I bet Joman wants me in that... rag..."

"I do actually... You'd look good..." Came Joman's voice from the door.

"Maybe I should give it to you then" she called from the bathroom which the door was not entirely closed

"Like hell you are!" Torvil called back. "You're keeping that for our next anniversary! I'll make Vina one..."

Vina turned bright red and Joman laughed.

"Nah you can make a new one for me... " she came out carrying the outfit "besides... you could have a lot more fun making one for me then for Vina" she said

Torvil purred softly and Vina was now a very deep red. "Go ahead and give it to her..." He said softly.

Joman was wiping tears form his eyes.

Ala giggled and handed the outfit not to Vina since Vina had Surion... but to Joman

Joman smiled and bowed. "Thank you mother..." He said softly.

Torvil smiled. "You two watch Surion while me and Ala go please?"

Ala nodded "Enjoy, an outfit for your mate from your people's style" she said then headed towards Torvil

Joman smiled. "And there won't be another like it until Torvil makes it... Lord may they all be buried under rumble."

Vina smiled at Joman, a twinkle in her eye, she liked the thought of Joman being the last Drow on earth... From his stories he was the nicest...

Ala smiled and looked at her mate "You take us, I'm tired from what I did yesterday" she said

Torvil smiled and nodded. "Okay love..." He said softly standing and opening his arms to her.

"Back soon" she said facing her daughter and son before stepping closer to Torvil

Torvil purred and wrapped her up, jumping to Danyen.

Danyen today was out in the city and shook his head seeing them "Can't you two use the gates?"

Torvil chuckled weakly. "Faster not to... Besides, we mean you no harm..." He said. "We need to be changed back..." He then said bluntly

Ala blushed though it may not exactly be obvious

Danyen shook his head and stuck his hand in his robe pulling it back out with another vial and held it towards Torvil "Now I will give this to you so long as you use the gate to leave"

Torvil grunted. "ooookay..." He said softly, taking it.

Danyen nodded "Thankyou" he said watching them

Torvil took Ala's hands. "Here... Lets take this now..."

Ala nodded "Probably get less looks here that way" she said shifting her powers and again creating water in a glass

Torvil smiled and handed the vial to her first.

Ala nodded and drank some waters and some of the vial before handing both off to Torvil

Torvil smiled and repeated her process

the glass disappeared once Torvil finished

Torvil smiled and pulled her close. "Off to the gates..." He grunted.

Danyen and headed off on his way

staring at her hand watching it slowly revert to normal Ala moved close

Torvil worked her side softly with his fingers. "Love you..."

"I love you too" ala purred softly

Torvil smiled and kissed her cheek.

Ala purred and looked up towards him

Torvil smiled and kept walking ignoring those around him. "So... How's it feel?"

"How does what feel love?" Ala quirked a brow

"This whole place? To you...?" He asked.

"Odd really, probably cause there is so many, Before Kal I'd never seen another Kerrsalian" she admitted

Torvil nodded and walked with her. "Hmmmm..."

Ala looked at him "What?"

"Musing love..." He said softly.

"What are you musing about?" she asked seeing the gates in the distance

"Well, Its just different..." He said softly.

Ala nodded and cuddled his side

Torvil smiled and walked out of the gates, just waving at the guards.

"Lets go home... I want to rest, I want to relax, I want to cuddle my son" she said

Torvil smiled and jumped them home, no longer worried about direct jumping, having no real lists.

Ala purred happily as they landed in their home

Torvil kissed her and sat down on the bed. "why don't you get Surion..."

Ala nodded and left the room in search of her children

Vina and Joman were playing with him in the living room on the floor

Ala wandered into the living room smiling

Surion sees her "Mmmmmmmmaaa!"

Vina smiled. "See told ya!"

Ala chuckled "have fun?"

Vina smiled. "Yeah..." Joman nodded.

Ala joined then squatting down "Thankyou Vina, for taking care of your brother" she said reaching and picking Surion up

Vina smiled. "No prob... I'm going to go home now... Joman and I need to be together.

Ala nodded "Want your father to help you get there? would be easier then trying to fly the two of you, and faster" she said cuddling her son who was playing with her hair

Vina tapped her chin for a moment. "Do you think he could make it safe for the kids too?" She mused softly and then looked to Joman.

"If he can, I have no issue with it..." Joman said.

"I used the nether when I was pregnant with your brother, it should be fine for you too" Ala told her

Vina smiled and nodded. "Okay..." She said. "Can you go get him? Joman and I really don't want to move... I'm getting really close to delivery...."

Ala nodded and got up with Surion "Just make sure you let us know when you have them, already dealt once with not knowing and I'd rather not repeat having grandkids I know nothing about" she says to her on her way towards the door

Vina frowned. "Okay mom, I won't... I send Joman..." Who then stared at her like she was crazy.

Ala nodded and left the room heading towards her own, entering the room she spoke "Love you wanna get Vina and Joman back tot he cliffs?"

Torvil got up and nodded. "Alright..." He said softly kissing her softly, heading for the living room.

Vina smiled and stood slowly, Joman moving with her.

Ala sat down on her bed cuddling with her son, feeding him and humming while she waited

Torvil came back awhile later, moving over to her when he entered the bedroom. "How's Sur?"

"Good, happy, feeding..." Ala said quietly

Torvil nodded and smiled, moving over to her and sat down slowly, smiling at her with a soft smile.

"I'm glad he recognizes us again" she said happily

Torvil chuckled and smiled. "That's good... Would have been weird that he kept trying to find us and we were right here..."

"Very much so, that seemed like what he was trying to do..." she mused

Torvil chuckled. "Which was funny I have to admit..." He lay down and brushed her cheek softly.

Ala purred softly "very" she replied running her finger along her son's soft cheek as he slept in her arms "Wanna hold him love?"

Torvil smiled. "Do I?" He grinned and took his son softly from her, beaming.

"you do make a wonderful father" she said softly

Torvil beamed. "Do I?" He chuckled softly.

"Aye you do, both for Surion and for Vina" she said with a nod

Torvil chuckled softly. "Thanks..." He smiled and brushed his son's cheek.

Ala leaned over and kissed his cheek

Torvil purred softly and smiled, looking over to her with a smile. "Shall we join Surion?

Ala nodded "I'm tired, I did a lot of jumping around yesterday" she said scooting down to lay down

Torvil purred and cuddled with her, closing his eyes.

Ala smiled and closed her eyes cuddling with their son between

Torvil purred loudly, and slowly let himself drift off to sleep with a happy grin

Ala yawned and dozed off

The next morning Torvil awoke with a yawn. "Mmmph?"

Surion was of current playing with his fathers nose, specifically he had a finger up a nostril

Torvil snorted and shook his head quickly, coughing weakly.

Surion whimpered pulling his finger back to himself

Torvil chuckled. "Daddy needs to breathe lil dude..." He chuckled.

Surion pouted and whimpered again

Torvil brushed his cheek softly. "Hey, hey lil sur..."

Surion looked at him still pouting

Torvil took his hand and put it back on his nose.

Surion smiled and gave his father's nose grabby hands

Torvil chuckled and let him have his fun.

Surion rolled and proceeded to climb as best he could atop his dad

Torvil chuckled and let him, being a good daddy mountain.

Ala slowly opened her eyes just barely to watch the noise that woke her

Surion pushed himself to sit atop his dad's chest before leaning forward going after his father's nose again

Torvil chuckled weakly and smiled, letting Surion be entertained as such. He grinned and just lay there, like a rock.

Surion giggled and scooted his little bum forward a little moving closer to his head till his legs hung over his shoulders looking down at him

Torvil chuckled and looked up at his son. "How are you doing lil dude?"

Surion watched him for a few minutes then his nose scrunched up

Torvil chuckled and he slowly slid Surion down and got out of bed, carrying his son to the nursery.

Ala giggled as Torvil disappeared out of the room

Torvil grinned and came back with Surion once he'd gone through the hassle of changing him.

Ala lay on her back her hands behind her head smiling

Torvil smiled and put Surion on her tummy before laying next to her.

Ala pulled her hands from behind her head "Hey there little man"

Surion giggled happily "Mmmmaa!"

Torvil beamed, and then heard a knock on the door. He got up grumbling.

Ala looked towards the door and got up holding Surion in her arms still wearing the same clothing she was wearing the night before

Torvil opened the door, and there, in their house, was Joman, panting and lathered. "Vina... Labor... Rough..." Seems she'd not been joking about sending Joman...

Surion spends time with his Grandparents

Ala's eyes went wide and looked between the two men

Torvil blinked. "Did... You run all the way here?" Joman nodded. "Went into labor... right after... you left..."

"Torvil hold your son for a moment" she said stuffing Surion into his father's arms and turning to run down the hall disappearing into her room coming out a moment later and running into Surion's room

Torvil held Surion and smiled at Joman. "We'll nether you there..."

Ala returned with a bag and Surion's blanket, the blanket she gave to Torvil

Torvil covered Surion's head with it and touched Joman.

"Joman close your eyes again" she said sounding minorly winded

Joman did so, but Torvil gave ala a look of 'let me jump us'

Ala nodded and put her hand on Torvil

Torvil jumped them quickly to outside Vina's cave, where he knew she was.

Ala let go of Torvil without a word and ran into the cave dropping the bag on the nearest surface

Joman followed quickly, and Torvil did so as well, pulling the blanket down. Vina lay on the pallet moaning, her eyes closed, and panting hard.

"Vina.." Ala said mainly to let her know they were there as she dropped to sit beside her on the pallet

"Mom?" Vina groaned. "Ohhh it hurts... it hurts so much... I think something's wrong... The healer was summoned just a few minutes ago... By grams... She went to go...OWWWW"

"Shhhhh, just focus on your babies" Ala said softly running her hand over her forehead. she looked at the males "someone wanna get cool water and a rag?

Joman was gone in a flash, to do as Ala ordered, and Torvil looked very concerned.

Ala gave him a look "Go find Surion a babysitter so you can help" she mouthed

Torvil nodded and speed off.

few minutes later

Torvil entered his mom's cave, looking about with Surion in his arms. He was in a little bit of a hurry, the emergency with Vina's labor and all. He found her at the table and smiled. "Hey mom..." He said softly.

Mitizimi looked up and smiled. "Torvil, what a pleasant surprise... Oh and you brought Surion... Where's Ala tho?" She asked, a bit concerned.

Torvil smiled. "With Vina helping her give birth... I need you to watch Surion while I help, if you don't mind..." He asked softly. Mitizimi smiled. "Of course I don't mind..."

Surion clung to his father's shirt he could sense the stress his father felt right then

Torvil brushed his son's head. "I've really got to hurry... I have his bag here in case you need anything..." He said softly, slowly handing his son over to his grandmother.

Mitizimi smiled and took him, nodding her head.

Surion let go of his father's shirt slowly and reluctantly "Adahhdahhdahh?"

Torvil smiled and patted his cheek. "Daddy has to go help your big sister... He'll be back when he's done..." He kissed Surion's for head. "Be back soon!" He turned and waved as he left, leaving Mitizimi with Surion.

Surion stuck a finger in his mouth watching his father leave till he was out of sight before looking up at his grandma "aaahh??"

She smiled at him. "Well it's good to see you again Surion. My you've grown little man, I remember when I last saw you, you could barely hold your head up... Now you're starting to talk..." She smiled and brushed his cheek, before standing and headed for the kitchen.

Surion blinked then reached up towards her face further "AAaahhpppttt" he said smiling

Mitizimi smiled and lifted him up towards her face, putting him on the counter top lightly for a moment, smiling at him as she held him up.

Surion baby-grabbed at her cheeks and nose giggling and babbling at her

Mitizimi giggled and patted his cheek. "My, my, aren't we grabby now..." She smiled and put him on her hip as she went about making lunch for Korvil when he would be arriving home from a work break.

Surion giggled, one of his little hands clung to her shirt the other kept reaching for anything Mitizimi was holding

Mitizimi giggled, keeping anything sharp away from him, but letting him play a little with the safer stuff, like the tongs she used to flip meat over when she warmed it.

Surion thought this was all fun and giggled happily, very often anything she did let him get a hold of went into his mouth to be chewed on

Mitizimi smiled and gave him a small sliver of the warmed meat. "You hungry little one?" She smirked, bouncing him a little on her hip.

Surion's eyes twinkled and he grinned taking the food in his mouth and swallowing it almost immediately

Mitizimi giggled. "Be careful... You might choke and we don't want that..." She smiled and gave him another smaller sliver.

"Nyahnyahnyah" he said happily bouncing on her arm and swallowing the meat she gave, he wasn't aware of the factor of chewing quite yet

Mitizimi giggled and brought him out to the main room with the meat, putting the meat down and taking him to the couch, waiting for Korvil to get back home from work.

"drdrdrdrdr" he said and grabbed his little tail holding it like it was a prized possession

Mitizimi giggled and poked his nose softly. "Yes, Dragon..." She smiled brightly and kissed his little head. Korvil entered and smiled. "Ah, I see we have a guest!"

Surion turned his torso at he sound of another voice and stared blinking for a moment before pointing "grgrgrgrgr"

Mitizimi giggled. "Your grandpa, Korvil..." She smiled and stood walking over to him, getting a kiss and smiling. "Hello love... Here hold your grand son." She handed Surion to him. Korvil smiled and looked at Surion. "Hey there!"

Surion squealed happily bouncing in his grandfather's arms

Korvil smiled happily and nuzzled Surion before chuckling softly. "My aren't you the energetic one..."

Surion giggled when he was nuzzled and decided right then and there to give his grandfather a nice drooly baby-kiss

Korvil chuckled and purred. "Why thank you little one... I haven't had a kiss that drooly in ages..." He smirked and brushed the boy's cheek. "Now lets go see what grandmother is doing neh?" He smiled and entered the eating area, watching Mitizimi set the table for two, having planned on putting Surion in a watchable place on the table.

Surion clings to his grandfather's shirt watching where they are walking and what is happening

Korvil smiled and walked over to the table, putting Surion in the middle when he sat down. Mitizimi soon joined him, smiling at Surion between them. She started serving up the meat.

Surion watched for a mere moment before rolling onto his belly and crawling across the table towards the edge and his grandfather

Korvil smiled and watched him get closer, making sure not to let him fall off the edge. He grinned and ate slowly, smiling at Mitizimi as he did.

Surion being adventurous went from wanting to look over the edge, to wanting to be near Korvil to wanting to explore his grandfather's meal all in random order babbling the entire time

Korvil chuckled and made sure he was there in case the child fell, he was used to the wanderings of children, he was after all a tenth generational grandfather...

Surion eventually got bored of the wandering and sat up looking around with a bored expression on his face

Korvil chuckled and patted the child's cheek with a smile. "Here... Grandpa will take you out for a walk..."

"grgrgrgrgr" Surion reached towards him "Aaaahppppttt"

Korvil chuckled and picked him up, holding him in his arms and moving towards the door. "Be back in a few love..." He called back to Mitizimi. "Okay love!" she called back.

Surion squealed happily as he was picked up. and bounced lightly on his grandfather's arm gripping his shirt tightly

Korvil grinned, walking outside into the fading light. "Hrmmm... where too..." He mused. "Where too..." He tapped his chin with his free hand.

Surion let go a hand and reached up baby-slapping his grandfather's chin too

Korvil grinned and chuckled. "Well that's for the assist... Maybe I should just let you do it..." He chuckled, walking up the path.

Surion giggled keeping it up thinking it a game

Korvil grinned and started to kiss at the hand every time it landed on his chin, with a happy grinn.

Surion grinned giggling loudly the little kisses only adding to the 'game' he thought he was playing

Korvil chuckled and kept walking, letting Surion have his fun as they walked higher and higher into the cliffs, Korvil having to walk around some damage that had been caused by the earthquake.

Surion stopped his game and clung again to the shirt his grandfather wore looking around him

Korvil smiled and pointed. "That used to be up there..." He pointed at a higher rock face, then at the large rock next to them. "Yeah... We got shook up pretty bad... I bumped my head..."

Surion watched where his grandfather pointed curious but not really understanding

Korvil chuckled and kissed Surion's cheek before walking on, moving to his favorite spot, he went there to think...

Surion leaned against his grandfather as he walked a thumb stuffed into his mouth

Korvil smiled and stood on the top of this part of the cliffs. "You can see for miles from here..." He mused. "I like it..."

Surion's eyes look outward though he stays where he is

Korvil smiled and kissed his head. Turning around to head back down.

Partway back down the cliffs Surion begins doing grabby hand against his grandfather's shirt

Korvil chuckled. "Mmmm? What is it?" He looked down at the small child.

"Mmmmmmmm" he whined still grabby-handing his thumb firmly in his mouth

Korvil chuckled. "But I don't have anything to feed you with!" He smirked, guessing after having seen his wife handle the children before. He hurried back to the cave, hoping there was something Mitizimi could find.

Surion squirmed as they returned to the cave getting frustrated

Korvil handed him off to Mitizimi, who immediately sat him down on the couch and dug through the bag in search of something.

Surion whined and squirmed getting even further frustrated

Mitizimi came over a short time later and offered him some cereal, the tip of his blanket poking up out of the bag.

Surion pushed it away whining and doing grabby hands towards the bag

Mitizimi blinked and brought the bag over. "What do you want?" She asked softly, the tip of his blanket was just inches out of his reach.

Surion leaned his fingertip brushing the black corner that stuck out of the bag

Mitizimi giggled weakly. "Ah... I see..." She got his blanket and gave it to him with a smile.

Surion clung to it and pulled it close and closed his eyes leaning sideways to lay down

Mitizimi smiled and sat next to him, Korvil coming to flank his feet. She brushed Surion's head softly as Korvil softly brushed his side.

Surion was very quickly asleep sucking on that finger of his clinging ever so tightly to his blanket

They smiled and left him be for awhile, but stayed in the room, not wanting him to wake up alone.

Surion slept peacefully for a couple hours before he stirred and without any noises opened his eyes and sat up looking around

They didn't turn to look at him, they were talking and smiling, planning to have another batch of kids.... Thanks to Surion.

Surion rolled unto his belly and backed towards the edge of the couch and was soon hanging half it away. gripping the cushion tightly he dropped to the floor and looked around again before rolling onto his belly and crawling away across the room in search of something to play with

The sound of him dropping to the floor alerted them and they got up, seeing he was no longer asleep. They spied him making a b-line for the other end of the room, and intercepted.

Surion looked up as pairs of legs appeared in front of him "Aaaahh?"

Mitizimi leaned down and picked him up. "And where do you think you're going little man?"

"Aaappphhttt" he raspberried and baby-slapped her chest

Mitizimi giggled and carried him towards their bedroom, Korvil smiled and followed, chuckling softly.

Surion stuck a finger in his mouth and watched curiously where they were going

Mitizimi put him down on the bed and gave him a small rag doll like toy to play with as Korvil went to hunt for others.

Surion took the toy and a leg of it went directly into his mouth and he proceeded to chew it "Nyahnyahnyah"

Mitizimi giggled softly and sat with him as Korvil came in with a few more rag toys, not all that many, but over a few clutches, children tend to lose things.

Surion giggled and switched from one tot he next each getting a good chewing no a limb as he went

The two smield and watched him with happy giggles or chuckles. Mitizimi finally had to get up to go fix some food.

Surion eventually stopped and crawled closer to his grandfather "grgrgrgrgr" he said reaching for his grandfather's hand

Korvil smiled and offered his hand to Surion. "This what you want?" he asked softly.

Surion grabbed his hand by the finger pulling it towards himself intent on chewing it too

Korvil chuckled and let him, what could be the harm? The child chewed on everything and anything...

Surion chewed his little teeth piercing the skin a few times

Korvil chuckled. "My... That tickles..." He brushed the boy's cheek softly.

After a lil while Surion stopped chewing and simply sat there looking up at his grandfather still holding his finger in his mouth and sucking on it like he would his own thumb

Korvil chuckled softly. "Like the taste of my finger eh?" He asked softly.

Surion's tail swings happily and he smiles sucking still

Korvil chuckled and kissed Surion's forehead. "Okay, when you're done with my finger let me know.." He grinned.

After a while Surion did let go of the finger squealing happily

Korcil chuckled and noticed a few of the cuts on his finger. "Uhhhhhhh..." He looked at Surion for a moment.

Surion giggled happily and clapped his hands together before rolling and heading back towards the stuffed toys

Korvil blinked and shrugged it off... Maybe he was imagining things.

Surion chewed a toy for a while then pulled it from his mouth the end of the limb he'd been chewing on was now lightly stained red

Korvil just about fainted, falling off the bed with a loud thud, that brought Mitizimi running.

"Aaahhppptt?" Surion stared blinking and confused

Mitizimi saw her husband and the toy and shook her head. "My, my..." She mused, Like Vina..."

Surion blinked looking back and forth completely confused

Mitizimi smiled and giggled, moving over to get him. "It's okay little one, grandpa's just sleeping..."

"grgrgrgrgrgr" he said pointing at his grandfather

She smiled and moved putting him down on Korvil's chest for Korvil to wake up.

Surion squealed and baby-clapped his grandfather's chest

Korvil slowly woke and blinked. "Ugwah?" He saw Surion and smiled. "Oh... Hello... Are you going to drink more of my blood?" It seemed that he was over the whole blood drinking thing.

"grgrgrgrgrdrdrdrdr" Surion babbled happily

Korvil smiled and reached up, stroking Surion's cheek with a smile.

Surion giggled happily and bounced on his chest

Korvil chuckled and smiled, patting his cheek more with a grin as he slowly sat up.

Surion slid down his grandfathers chest as he sat up he sat watching him for a moment and began scrunching up his nose

?Korvil chuckled and picked him up, moving over to go and change him.

Surion looked up at him a finger in his mouth, once laying to change, like with his father he tried to roll and get away

Korvil chuckled softly and used a hand to keep him still, yeah, some things are genetic.

Surion squealed and tried anyways

Korvil chuckled softly and kept him there until he was finished, once he was done he let him go,.

Surion immediately rolled and started to crawl away

Korvil laughed and moved, snatching him up and putting him down on the floor.

Surion babbled and crawled away in search of more things to explore

Korvil chuckled and followed him with a smile, Mitizimi watching from the couch as she sew some new clothes.

Surion giggled looking up to see he was being 'chased' and kept going, around furniture, under tables poking head into shelves etc

Korvil chuckled and followed him around, happy that his grand child was having fun. He smiled at Mitizimi who smiled back, still sewing.

Surion kept up his exploring for a good hour wearing himself out completely as he finally stopped and rolled onto his back stuffing his thumb in his mouth

Korvil chuckled softly and went to go get his blanket.

"grgrgrgrgr!" he said as his grandfather walked away from him.. His free hand making grabby hands in the air

Korvil chuckled and came back quickly with Surion's blanket, kneeling down to wrap him up in in.

Surion took hold of a corner sucking on his thumb sleepily

Korvil smiled and carried him to the couch where his wife was.

Surion cuddled up against his grandfather and closed his eyed

Korvil smiled and sat down next to Mitizimi who was sewing something for him. "Isn't he just the sweetest thing?" She asked. Korvil nodded and smiled. "Yeah..."

Surion quickly fell asleep

Korvil smiled and talked with Mitizimi while the child slept. They did not know how long it would be till Torvil returned. When Mitizimi finished her sewing Korvil handed Surion off to her, and went to go sleep.

Surion slept through being handed off squirming for a matter of a moment to get re-comfortable

Mitizimi smiled and brushed his cheek, smiling softly, wondering when Torvil would come back.

A while later Surion stirred waking up

Mitizimi smiled softly. "Mornin' sunshine..." She smiled, kissing his forehead.

Surion babbled happily as if replying to her

Mitizimi smiled and kissed his forehead again. "Aw, aren't you sweet..."

Surion giggled and reached for her nose

Mitizimi smiled and let him, feeling very lax about it.

Surion played with her nose and her face giggling happily at least until he got hungry

Mitizimi smiled. "What's wrong little sunshine?" She smiled softly. "You can't be sleepy?"

"aaaaahhh" Surion voiced looking up at her and swinging his arms

Mitizimi giggled and started rooting through his bag, offering him toys, and other things.

Surion turned them all down

Mitizimi finally got the the cereal, offering him some of it dry.

Surion looked at it as if she was crazy

Mitizimi shook her head, and got a bowl, pouring some milk on it, and offering some of it to him with a spoon that was packed along.

Surion clapped his hands and opened his mouth

Mitizimi smiled and started to spoon in food. "Now swallow, don't you even think of spitting it back out..." She smirked.

Surion took that as an invitation to giggle and blow a raspberry with the spoon in his mouth

Mitizimi giggled loudly and pulled the spoon out, giving him a soft tap upside the head with it. "No..."

Surion pouted and whimpered looking up at her

Mitizimi kissed his forehead, spooning him another bit.

Surion stared at her for a moment then opened his mouth again

Mitizimi smiled and gave him another spoonful. "Now be a good boy and grandma will get you something special..."

Surion ate his cereal staring at her with every bite

Mitizimi smiled softly at him, finally finishing up the cereal, and picking him up, moving towards the outdoors.

Surion cling to her top as she carried him

"Sorry sunshine, but you weren't behaving... but since you've been a good boy..." She headed down the path. "I'm gonna get you a special treat..."

Surion watched where they were walking

Mitizimi took him down to the market, looking around. "Alright Surion, what do you want..." She smiled.

Surion looked up at her "Aaahh?"

Mitizimi giggled and headed over to the toy booth, turning Surion so he could see the selection.

Surion stared down at the table one finger in his mouth the other clinging over his shoulder to his grandmother's shirt

Mitizimi smiled. "Take your time..." She grinned, knowing she'd not tell Torvil or Ala about it, wanting to spoil Surion.

Surion looked up at her for a moment and looking back at the booth and it's owner

The Booth owner smiled, isolating a selection Surion might like, rag toys and a few small toy practice swords.... More like sticks.

Surion took his finger from his mouth "Aaahhh" he said waving it around

Mitizimi giggled and guessed the average amount of space it would all take up. "Wrap them all up and put them on my tab, I'll be back to pay later..." The booth owner smiled and started to do so.

"Aaahhhaaahhhahhh" Surion bounced in her grip, he didn't exactly know what was going on but it excited him regardless

Mitizimi giggled and gave him one of the rag dolls to play with as she took the bundle of toys back towards home with her.

Surion chewed the toy happily as she walked

Mitizimi kissed his forehead softly as she neared the cave again.

Surion giggled happily using a free hand to playfully bat at her chin

Mitizimi giggled and kissed his hand when it came into range, putting the bundle of toys down in the bottom of his bag, under all the other things.

Surion babbled playfully

Mitizimi smiled and nuzzled him, sitting back on the couch, but not before tucking the rag figure on his body somewhere where Torvil wouldn't find it till later.

Surion squealed and tried to get it back

Mitizimi smiled and gave it back to him. "Okay, you can play with it a little longer, but when daddy gets back you have to hide it..."

Surion stuffed the toy back in his mouth chewing on it

Mitizimi giggled and kissed his forehead.

Surion looked up at her "nyahnyahnyah" he said around the leg of the doll

Mitizimi smiled and headed for the kitchen to work on some dinner.

Ala nodded and they quickly reached Mitizimi's house "Mom?" she called out walking in

"In here..." She called, coming out of the kitchen with Surion in her arms. "I think I put him to sleep... I was humming..." She brought him over. "He adores that blanket... I couldn't get it away from him."

Ala laughed "Yes he wants it all the time, and humming does put him to sleep" she said with a chuckle reaching for her son "You have two new great grandchildren to add to your collection of great grandchildren" Ala told her

Mitizimi giggled. "Glorious..." She handed Surion off to Ala. "Would you like to sleep here... You look ready to keel over..."

"Our cave isn't far off we should be good, but thanks" she replied softly

Mitizimi nodded and smiled. "Okay... Well I'll see you in a few..." She waved before heading back to the kitchen.

Ala nodded "Thanks mom" she said and headed back out of the cave hauling Torvil with her

Torvil didn't fight he just followed, to wasted to say anything right then, but just to follow her lead.

They soon reached their own cave and she dropped the bag near the door and headed straight for the pallet resting Surion on it then stripping and crawling in

Torvil followed suit, laying so that Surion was between them, much like at home. He purred and hugged the two close to him before he literally passed out from exhaustion and relief.

Ala fell asleep very quickly as well tired not only for the long time awake but from using her powers for so long
