Torvil's Journal

Dear Journal,

That was a very long... Very hard labor. I don't think I ever want to deal with one of those again... Good lords... Surion seemed happy, and I can see why once I cleaned out his bag... There are toys up the arse in there... Seems grandma and grandpa spoiled him.

The temple pool, Vina's Kids, Going Home Again

Ala stretched and woke and looked around recalling where she was

Torvil yawned and he took took a minute to remember where they were. His first instinct was to look for Surion.

Surion was still asleep on the pallet as Ala climbed out to get dressed into the clothing she had brought

Torvil smiled and brushed his son's face softly, not wanting to leave his side after the past few days worth of events.

Ala wandered outside once dressed only to run into Torvil's little messenger animal carrying a small roll of parchment which she took from it

Torvil picked up Surion and headed over to where Ala was outside. "Hey love... What's going on..." He'd smelled the little beastie from where he'd been.

"I think... I need to sit down" Ala said turning and heading back inside after reading the parchment, she took the parchment with her

Torvil followed her. "Can I read it?" He asked softly. Reaching for it.

Ala nodded and reached over her shoulder passing it to him

Torvil took it and started to read. He read it through... Twice.

The letter on the parchment was from Selene she was letting her parents know that they now had two great grandsons, by the names of Lee and Ty. The letter went on to state when they were born and that they were the son's of Aidan and Nimthirial who were also engaged to be wed

Torvil started to chuckle, then slowly, very slowly that chuckle grew, it kept growing till it became a full blown riotous laugh. He eventually stopped wiping his eyes. He chuckled still but weakly. "About damn time..."

Ala eyed her mate "I'm too bloody young to be a great grandmother!"

Torvil chuckled. "No love... You're not... My mother is thirty... And she has almost ten generations of grandchildren..." Torvil wiped and eye again and smiled at Ala. "Not to mention darling, that you look absolutely stunning."

"She's the same age as me basically... Nim... She's Dia's teammate. both the boys were hitting on her last time I was there" Ala said

"Well that means the Korvil is looking for a mate still..." he said softly. "I wish him the best of luck... Here... Gimme a sec and I'll write a letter back sending congrats and an invitation to Korvil to spend some time with us... I'm sure he needs some time away... I would..."

"How would he get here love, he has no wings and he doesn't know where the cliffs are" Ala asked

Torvil chuckled and shook his head. "We'll have him visit our house... Vina and the kids are okay, and it takes a bit of time for this little guy to travel..." He smiled softly. "Besides, I'll give him directions..."

Ala nodded and sighed leaning back against the couch and closing her eyes

Torvil quickly scribbled all of that down, and handed them off to the beast, before sending it on its way. He put Surion in Ala's lap and sat next to her. "Do I need to get Surion a babysitter to cheer you up?"

"No, I just need to let it settle in" Ala said with a chuckle looking down at her own son

Torvil smiled and nuzzled her. "Okay..." He smiled. "And remember, you're dealing with a quickly growing people..." he said softly. "So yeah... My mom's a 10 times generational grandmother..."

Ala chuckled quick for the most part at least

Torvil nodded and brushed Surion's head. "He's driving people nuts... and that healer from last night must be about ready to jump off the top of the cliffs..."

"Little man is?" she asked looking down at her son who she had begun to feed

Torvil chuckled. "Well yeah... words got around that Surion's still an infant..." He chuckled. "I'll not be surprised if people start coming to oogle the spectacle.

Ala laughed "Maybe we should save them the trip and just go for a walk"

Torvil laughed softly and got up. "Alright love... Lets go!" He chuckled and looked down at the feeding Surion... "Er uh... or wait..."

Ala laughed "Lemme get him changed first" she said and got up once she was done heading for the bag of stuff she had brought

Torvil nodded and smiled. "Okay..." He said softly and with a grin. "Oh! We need to visit Vina and get the names of the twins..."

"Yes that can be our final destination of our walk" she said with a grin

Torvil smiled. "And then we can head home this eve... I told the letter about three days from receivable, and we need to set up the house..."

Ala nodded changing her sons bottoms and clothing

Torvil smiled and leaned on the wall with a light smile.

Ala finished and picked her son up setting him on her hip to carry hauling his blanket along with

Torvil smiled and moved over to her, giving both a kiss on the head, Ala's on her lips, and Surion's on his head.

Ala purred softly

Surion giggled and latched onto his mother's hair playing and chewing with it

Torvil chuckled and started to walk with them outside. He gave Ala another kiss and nuzzled Surion as he played.

Ala smiled wandering along with Torvil in no particular hurry

Torvil smiled, happy to be back 'home' This place was always home to him, that would never change... Even with all the trauma behind it...

"I think this is the least planned out trip here we've ever made" she mused

Torvil chuckled. "Yeah..." He said softly, walking with her. Soon however, people were starting to follow without following.

Ala shifted the weight of her son so that she was holding him in front of her

Torvil walked with her looking around. He leaned over and whispered softly in her ear. "We've got a crowd..."

"I smell that" she replied in a whisper

Torvil nodded and followed her. A few of the females from before flanked them. "We apologize for the reaction of our peers..." They looked down at Ala without looking. "But they want to see your child... We know he's a growing boy, and he's going at your pace, but they do not..."

"It's ok, I understand" ala said with a chuckle

The females smiled softly and moved ahead. "Meet you at the temple..." They said as they passed.

Ala smiled and kept walking

Torvil smiled and leaned over, kissing her cheek then Surion's head. He smiled and followed the females towards the temple.

"I wonder what's happening at the temple" Ala mused

Torvil shrugged. "I don't know... I've not been around..." Then he blinked. "Oh Visha..." He smacked his forehead.

Ala quirked a brow "What?"

"In six months its Visha's birthday.... We celebrate her descent to earth today..."

"Ah! Well that makes sense then" she replied

Torvil nodded and chuckled. "Wonder what they'll do this year... It tends to change... Not that I got to see many of them... They're talked about events tho..."

"Things will probably be different with the new priest too" Ala remarked

Torvil nodded and neared the temple mouth.... Which seemed... lower...

Ala smiled at her son leaning to kiss him as they headed for the entrance

Torvil smiled and entered, and then froze, staring at the huge gaping hole in the middle of the temple floor... That is... a hole filled with water that bubbled up.

Ala stopped beside him "Oh my...."

Torvil tilted his head. The priest approached. "Happened not all that long enough... There was a massive earthquake... Bless Visha no-one was killed, but a few people were injured..."

"Oh geez" Ala whispered and looked towards her mate

Torvil frowned. "Oh my..." He grinned weakly. "Whoops..."

"Repairs?" Ala whispered

Torvil shook his head. "Probably won't need them..." The Priest chuckled. "All the damage that disrupts us has been set to rights..."

Ala nodded

The Priest smiled. "Come... Sit in the pool... Tis the day Visha descended... We have blessed these waters in her name... Rest, relax, and be at one with the others here..." He chuckled softly. "And most of all, have fun..."

Ala nodded and walked towards the pool

Torvil followed and waited for her to get in it first with Surion, The females that had come before them now neared it as well.

Ala moved into the water her eyes shifting as she did

Torvil smiled and joined her, grinning and nuzzling her as the females sat down near them.

Ala purred softly and turned her son to sit in her lap facing out

Torvil smiled and watched as the other females started to dote on the small boy.

Surion reached out curiously to the tall females that looked at him "Aaahhhhppppttt"

They all giggled and smiled. "Ohhh! He's so cute!" one squealed softly.

Surion bounced his little tail moving around him happily as he leaned towards the nearest female

She smiled. "Can I hold him?" She asked softly, looking to Ala.

Ala nodded "Sure" she replied and lifted her Son out of her lap towards the female

She smiled and took him. "So much smaller than my others... but sooo cute!" She tickled his nose.

Surion giggled and opened his mouth going after her finger

She smiled softly and let him get it with a happy grin. "Isn't he just the sweetest thing?"

Surion chewed on her finger with his sharp little few teeth

Ala chuckled and floated in the water

The female giggled. "That tickles..." She smiled softly. "He's very sweet..."

Torvil grinned.

Ala nodded "Thanks, I love him"

Surion babbled as he chewed her finger piercing the skin a few times

The female giggled and brushed his head. "He's a feisty one..." She smiled. "Who wants him next..." Four pairs of hands shot up.

Torvil laughed.

Ala laughed as well and just floated

Surion sucked her finger not realizing he was about to be passed off

The female slowly pulled the finger out of Surion's mouth and passed him to the nearest.

Surion squawked as he HAD been going after the few drops of blood his sharp little teeth had drawn

The female frowned and took him back and put the finger back in his mouth. "What do you want? Are you hungry?"

Surion's little hands latched onto her wrist as he sucked again on her finger

The female giggled.

"Oh yeah.... He drinks blood too..." Torvil vocalized.

Ala chuckled as her son looked kinda cute sucking on the lady's finger

Torvil smirked and the female nodded slowly.

"Are you sure you don't want your mate to feed him though?"

Torvil shook his head. "Nah, he looks happy where he is..."

"He's ok he had a main feed before we left the cave" Ala said watching her son

The female nodded. "Okay little one... Can I hand you off now? The other ladies would like a turn..."

Surion pulled her finger out of his mouth where he had been sucking a little obvious "Aaahhpppfftt"

She smiled and tired to hand him off to the next in line, who had a pout on her face from not getting him the first time.

Surion looked towards where he was being moved too smiling cutely

The other female smiled and took him. "Hi there..." She said softly, bouncing him in her arms a little.

Surion reached up grabbing a hold of her clothing and pulling to stand so he could bounce better

She giggled and smiled watching the child bounce on her. "He's so adorable!"

Ala chuckled softly

Surion squealed happily and blew bubbles as he bounced in his little cliffy outfit

The women giggled and the one holding him smiled happily. "I wish mine stayed this big for this long..."

"We all do sister... We all do..." another said.

Surion reached baby-slapping her cheeks happily

She laughed and smiled. "Okay little one... Next turn... Is with... you!" She smiled handing him off to the next in line.

"Aahhh?" Surion looked around not used to being passed off his little tail moving around behind him

The women giggled and the next took him, giving his forehead a soft peck. "So cute!"

Torvil chuckled. "Well Surion will have no trouble with the ladies..."

Ala laughed "No, I doubt he will"

"drdrdrdrdr" Surion said happily holding the end of his tail

The lady holding him giggled and pushed his nose. "Yes... You are a dragon... A very cute one at that..." She smiled.

Surion squealed happily letting go of his tail and swinging his arms happily

She laughed and smiled at him, enjoying his antics and presence as the others watched happily.

Surion reached up towards her face

She smiled and let him, thinking it really cute that he wanted to explore so.

When it was in his reach Surion grabby handed her nose playing with it

She giggled, which sounded weird cause of his playing with her nose.

Surion stared at her for a moment then leaned forward open mouthed baby-kissing her chin with his very drooly lips

She giggled more and stroked his head. "Awwww... That's very sweet... But I'm married..." She giggled and handed him off to the last in line.

Ala laughed at her reaction

Surion kicked his little legs as he was passed

The next took him and smiled. "Well hello there..." She smiled. "Now what fun antics are you going to do with me?"

Surion stared at her after a couple minutes his nose started scrunching up

She sniffed. "Well now... Not exactly what I had in mind..." She giggled, handing him back to Ala.

Ala reached taking Surion and turning to Torvil "your turn" she said handing him off

Torvil chuckled and got up, heading for the bag he'd brought with them and to find a secluded area to change him.

Ala relaxed "Sorry bout that, can't control when he decides to do that" she said

They ladies giggled. "Its okay sister... We know how it is..." They smiled at her. "How are you though? We have not seen you in awhile..."

"Good overall, learning new things about myself, staying busy with Surion... all that fun stuff" she replied

They nodded. "Better than us... Most of us have had another clutch and seen them grow..." They sighed. "We wish we had some that stayed young like that..."

"I didn't exactly expect him to be a slow grower myself, not after the twins... but each does what their bodies tell them too I suppose" Ala nodded

They nodded and smiled. "You got lucky... and is it true that Elder Vina had her clutch?" They all leaned forwards.

Ala nodded "Yes, they were born last night" she told them

They clapped their hands and smiled. "Oh what glorious news!" One declared, just as Torvil was coming back with a changed Surion.

"A little boy and a little girl, I'm not sure what they are named though, she passed out and we left them to rest after they were born" Ala smiled

They smiled. "Then you should go visit them and find out, then come tell us!" They giggled. "We are not family, it would be rude for us to approach them..."

Another touched her arm. "Not to mention invasive..."

Ala chuckled "We were headed there then detoured to come here" she looked around the temple biting her lip a little seeing what the collapse of the under caves had done to it

It was lower in the ground for one, some of the walls were cracked. The statue of Visha was unharmed, but the floor was cracked in places, uneven, all of that, and the bubbling pool in the middle, made up the once even temple.

Ala sighed "didn't realize it would cause this" she mumbled very very quietly under her breath

Torvil touched her shoulder softly, giving her Surion. "Neither did I..." he mouthed.

"What are the two of you whispering about, if you mind us asking?" One of the ladies asked.

Ala took her son "The damage here" Ala said and nuzzled her son

"Oh? There was an earthquake a few nights ago... I was rather rough... We still don't know what caused it...."

"We did..." Torvil said softly.

Ala sighed "We collapsed a cave in the undercaves when were were retrieving Joman, our daughter's mate..."

"Oh!" A few said... Then it clicked with one.

"Wait! Did you... " She looked down.

"Yes..." Torvil said flatly.

"We collapsed a cave, if they survived or not depends on how their race survives down there" Ala said

Torvil's face faltered. "Love... I don't know how much of the cave collapsed... We could very well have pulled the entire thing down..." He said softly. "The minute I started to move rock the whole thing came down around my ears... I wasn't able to control the collapse... We very well could have killed them all... I won't know for sure unless I go check..."

"I'm aware of that love, and I don't want you back down there, we spent enough time down there as it was" she told him flatly

Torvil nodded softly and leaned towards her, putting his head on her shoulder.

Ala sighed softly and looked near the middle of the pool which was empty at that time. she placed her hand on teh water her eyes had been green since she'd entered the water. within a moment there was a small gurgling sound then eh sound of spraying water as she created a small fountain

Torvil smiled. "Good job love..."

All the ladies smiled and stared in awe. "Did you do that?"

Ala chuckled "Yeah I did" she said softly lifting her hand out of the water and putting it in her son's lap

Torvil smiled and the women waded closer to check out the fountain.

"I don't think I'll ever do anything that wont shock these people" she said softly to her mate as her son splashed his hands i the water playfully

Torvil chuckled. "You're a surprise love... And my people love them... most of the time..." He kissed her cheek.

Ala smiled "Glad they like them" she watched the ladies

Torvil chuckled.

The ladies returned a little later with a smile. "Well we shouldn't keep you, we know you have a busy day ahead... Visiting Elder Vina and alll..."

"Yeah then we're heading home later this evening." she said with a smile before standing up

They smiled. "Well It was good seeing you... Please don't be strangers... Visit often!" They smiled and floated in the water.

Torvil stood and went to get the stuff.

Ala smiled "We try not to" she said then headed out of the pool pushing the water out of hers and her son's clothing as she went"

Torvil chuckled and walked beside her, sloshing as he moved. "That was fun..." He said softly.

"I feel like we should be fixing the temple" she said quietly as they left

Torvil nodded slowly, walking beside her. "I know love... I know..." He said softly. "I don't think though... that they want it fixed..."

Ala nodded and sighed

Torvil hugged her close, pushing his wet body against her down dry clothes. "We did what we have to do..."

Ala nodded "Well lets go see our daughter and grandkids shall we?"

Torvil smiled. "Sure..." he said softly. Walking with her towards the home of Vina

Ala was silent as they walked... at least till they got to Vina's cave

Torvil entered slowly. "Vina?"

Something large and grey flew past his face.

"WHAT THE HELL!" He fell on his rear to the sound of a giggle.

Ala raised a brow looking towards the culprit and giggle

The girl child of Vina rested on her haunches on the higher part of the cliff face, looking down with a smile. She giggled again.

"Alatariel! You get your butt down from there right now!" Vina called walking outside, a small winged boy holding onto her robe his thumb in his mouth.

Ala spun towards her daughter eyes wide hearing her voice and words

Vina looked at Ala. "Oops... I meant that one..." She giggled, pointing at the little girl who was still giggling and pointing at Torvil.

Ala stared at her blinking

Surion giggled and reached towards Vina "Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeee"

Vina giggled. "Hey there Surion!" She came over and took him from his mother. She turned to the girl on the cliff face. "Alatariel Vixos Daggerdancer you get your butt down here right this instant or I'm coming up there to get you..."

The little boy just kept on sucking his thumb, but his free hand now reached towards Surion.

Surion looked down at the boy and babbled at him

Ala looked up at the child

The little girl pouted and finally flew down, looking up at her mommy. "Otay..." She huffed.

The boy smiled and waved his hand, taking his thumb out of his mouth. "Hi..."

Vina smiled and turned to her father and mother, who had just stood up. "You've already met Alatariel... The boy is Krox Vox Daggerdancer..."

Ala chuckled and crouched down to their level "Good day" she said

Surion reached his little hand towards the boys'

The boy smiled and waved at Ala then reached out to Surion.

The little girl gave Ala a Raspberry and ran away giggling.

"Vina my dear I think you have a real handful there" she said looking up at her

Vina nodded. "You're telling me... It took me four hours to get her dressed..."

Torvil chuckled and smiled. "So love... Express way home? Or scenic flight?" He chuckled looking at Ala, bag still slung over his shoulder.

"You're in a rush..." she mused

Torvil frowned softly. "Well not quite..." He mused. "As nice as it is here... I'm going to need to fix that window..." He nodded his head slowly. "But if you want to stay longer I'm fine."

Vina smiled weakly. "Well..." She said softly. "You guys could come in..."

Ala nodded "I would like that I want to make sure my family is well before I take off" she said

Torvil nodded. "Alright lets head on in then..." He said softly, moving in, Vina following slowly.

Vina smiled and let him go. "Now come, lets get you three seated around the table... Dinner will be ready soon if Joman didn't torch it..."

Torvil chuckled softly.

Ala laughed and headed for the kitchen

Torvil followed, finding Joman quickly cutting off slightly charred parts of meat from the roast he'd been making. Torvil smirked and shook his head. "Boy, you need to learn how to cook..."

"Oh come off it... I was the son of a duke for Deity's sake! You think I ever lifted a finger for food?" Joman huffed.

"It shows..." Vina giggled.

Ala chuckled and took a seat sitting Surion on her lap

Torvil sat and waited for the food to be served. The twins ate like animals, not that Vina ate much better... Joman however, ate with a dignified grace that told of his highborn upbringing. Torvil ate like he usually did, and that was how it went.

Ala ate as normal as well every now and then pulling tiny pieces off the meat using her fingers and teeth and giving them to her son who took them from her fingers most of the time just swallowing it

Torvil smiled and offered her some of the meat form his plate when he was done for Surion. He was after all a growing boy, and needed his energy.

The twins and Vina however, ate more than everyone at the table combined.

Ala chuckled and nodded continuing what she was doing

Torvil smiled and watched her feed Surion with a smile.

Finally Joman, the twins, and Vina finished their meal, and sat and watched Surion as well.

Ala and Surion finished mainly cause Ala wasn't one to like the center of attention

Torvil chuckled and kissed her cheek, and the room disbursed, the twins running away from their mother because it was bath time, and Joman to go clean up dinner.

Ala got up "Should we say our goodbyes?" she asked

Torvil smiled and brushed her cheek. "Yes lets..." He smiled, getting up and waving at Joman. "Goodbye son, see ya soon."

Joman smiled. "Bye dad... May you have a safe trip out."

"See you again soon Joman" Ala said and headed to hunt down her daughter and grandkids

Joman waved. "Bye mom!"

Torvil smiled and headed after the voices, the easiest way to track the twins....

Ala peeked around after nearing the voices "Now who is that I hear" she said quietly

Ala skidded to a stop in front of her, half naked and almost de panted. Krox stopped right behind her, almost exactly the same.

Torvil chuckled softly as Vina skidded to a stop behind them

"Now now, are you listening to your mommy?" Ala asked

Vina giggled. "Yes they are... Somewhat..."

Ala giggled. "Mommy said to go the the spring... She didn't say get in!"

Krox nodded.

"Then go get in you two sillies" she crouched down "And if you be really good and listen to mommy, next time grandma comes we can do more different tricks, how does that sound"

Ala giggled and clapped her hands. "Otay! otay!" She turned and ran back towards the spring.

Krox followed just as quickly.

Vina giggled. "Thanks mom..." She bowed. "I guess you guys are leaving huh?"

"Yeah we should get Surion home, we kinda left in a rush and didn't bring a whole lot with us" she said and gave her daughter a hug once she stood up "i'm proud of you and congrats"

Vina smiled. "Thanks mom, I couldn't have done it without you and dad helping me..." She smiled and hugged her back, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you again soon right?"

Torvil smiled. "Of course dear... of course... Don't forget to write!"

"Definitely" Ala said "and it was our pleasure to help" she smiled

Vina smiled and patted Ala's cheek. "Go mom... Go... Before I order you to stay another day... and I can do that, you're citizens..." She smirked.

Torvil chuckled softly.

Ala laughed and turned heading out he door "behave you guys and ... don't do anything I wouldn't" she winked at Vina and disappeared out of the cave

Vina laughed loudly and waved good bye as her father left too.

Torvil caught up with her quickly and chuckled.

Ala smirked "Lets go get the rest of our stuff then go home"

Torvil chuckled and nodded, hurrying so they could get home faster.

Ala hurried after Torvil carrying Surion in her arms

Torvil walked backwards most of the way, a big grin on his face.

"What's that grin for?" she said with a laugh

Torvil chuckled. "You told her not to do anything you wouldn't do... That's a lot of stuff love..." He smirked. "You practically gave her free rein..."

"I know" Ala smirked

Torvil laughed. "God I love you..." He said with a smile. "Now lets get going..." He said, walking into their cave.

Ala grinned and laughed "Lets..."

Torvil quickly gathered all their stuff together and smiled. "Alright, blanket Lord Surion and we're good to roll..."

"Yup good to roll sooo lets vamoose" she said standing waiting for Surion to be covered

Torvil chuckled and tossed the blanket over Surion's head and put his arm on her shoulder.

Ala held the blanket down as Surion tried to push it off

Torvil just d-jumped them to save time, knowing it wouldn't scatter him too much... or so he hoped.

Ala noticed the direct jump and gave him a look when they landed

"Sorry..." He muttered. "Saved us time, and I'm fine... I think..." He closed his eyes and let his brain sort itself out.

Ala simply turned and walked away heading for their son's room

Torvil sighed and headed for the kitchen, moving to a place he knew Ala didn't know about. He had something hidden there that'd he'd been saving for just such and occasion.

Ala got Surion changed and put into bed then headed for their room and dropping onto the bed

Torvil came in a few minutes later with a card and a small box. He walked over to where Ala lay, and put them on her.

Ala looked up at him giving him a questioning look

Torvil pointed to the card and box, before kicking off his boots and laying beside her.

Ala lifted them and looked at the card first

The card was simple, you could tell Torvil had made it, on the front was 'Sorry' In big capital letters. On the inisde there was a small block of scritpt:

If you have this card, that means that I've done something stupid.
Sorry... I hope you can still love me given the fact I'm a blockhead some times...
Hope you like the present... I nabbed it while I was out and I wanted to wait till I screwed up to give it to you...
Its not much, but I hope it makes you happy...

- love,
Torvil

Ala quirked a brow and opened the box to look within

In the box, was a golden necklace, with a small little heart pendant in it. The pendant turned out to be a locket with a picture of Torvil inside, and one other blank spot labeled. 'Baby picture here'.

Ala chuckled softly a small smile playing at her lips

Torvil was watching her, not daring to smile till he knew he was in the clear.

Ala sighed softly putting the stuff on her belly again "just keep your word in the future" she said quietly

Torvil nodded slowly and closed his eyes. "Sorry dear, I will..." He murmured very softly, his heart sinking a little.

"Thankyou" she said softly turning her head to look at him

Ala's Journal

Dear Diary

Oh dear Visha, I can't believe the collapse of the undercaves had that big of an effect on the temple, I feel really bad about that. They seemed ok with it, but... still... The ladies at the temple today though loved Surion, they couldn't seem to get enough of a child who grows slowly.

A Visit to the GMFC Clinic

((May 30th 2005))

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala wandered in carrying her son in his carrier his bag and his blanket which was partially clung onto by Surion. She sighed "Hot out there" she mumbled and then looked around to see who might be around that day

caroline_cupcake

Caroline stretched out in her chair, she noticed a young woman who she had never met before then Ala. "Ala! Hey, how are you?"

Alatariel Rakamash

"Hey Caroline, how are you holding out? I'm well, had a hectic last little while but still good" she said with a smile and headed in Caroline's direction shifting her son's weight as he looked around

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien shakes his head, clearing them of his thoughts, and looks around. "Hello, Elle," he says, smiling a little at her. "And, hello Miss. Ala," he waves to the other familiar face, studying the baby in her arms a moment.

caroline_cupcake

"I'm just dandy, have a seat." Caroline patted the seat next to her with a grin.

Sirenz

Sirenz carries a blue blanket with a strange tail sticking out of it into the clinic. She sees Caroline stretching out in a chair and nods respectively before sitting in the seat next to her. "Hi!" she smiles warmly whilst looking for a bottle in her duck print baby bag.

caroline_cupcake

Caroline turns to Sirenz as she hears her familiar voice. "Si, how are you!" She looks down at her arms then notices the baby. "AWW! Is that the baby!" Caroline cooes wiggling a finger in the babies general direction.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala smiled "Hi Damien, you guessed right" she said with a grin as she sat down next to Caroline and lifted her son from the carrier and placing him and his blanket on the floor.

Surion rolled to his belly and pushed up sitting and looking around

Sirenz

Sirenz finally locates the bottle and spreading open the blanket just a tiny bit, she feeds the baby. "Yes! This is baby Xander, he is an anthro baby that Dr. Duvert delivered yesterday" she says happily. Baby Xander pushes the bottle away and makes a low growling sound.

caroline_cupcake

Caroline cooes at the site of the babies. "I hope this one comes soon..." She patted her belly then sighed. "My niece has come to stay, well you could say. She's having a real hard time adjusting to this world, it's nothing like the Dream Realm...I should go get her, she's outside." Caroline began to wabble as she stood up.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

"Congratulations," Damien beams at Ala. He waves to the baby on the floor, before he turns to Elle again.

Rather than say anything else, he sits back in his seat and just listens.

Sirenz

"Ok Caroline. I would love to meet her." Sirenz sees another cute baby with his mommy and smiles too.

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion grins widely and rolls out of his sitting position and starts to crawl towards the boy who had waved at him. He felt like exploring and meeting him

Caroline headed outside, she looked high and low for Sadie. "Sadie?" She turned around, noticing the empty playground. Yet, it wasn't so empty, Sadie sat on a swing looking into the window of the clinic. "Mind if I join you?" Caroline broke the silence and hopped onto the swing next to Sadie. "There she blows..." She kicked her feet back and forth, however being as large as she was at the time...it didn't work out.

Sadie smirked a bit then glanced over towards Caroline. "You know how hard it is for me to be here, i'm not meant to be here Caroline." She put her hands on her lap as she felt in perfect balance.

Caroline swayed over toward Sadie and nodded. "I do know..." she poked her on the nose with a smile. "But how about you come inside, I want you too meet some babies and my friends."

Sadie nodded and stood up, she waited for Caroline to stand up. It was rather amusing watching her try to get up or sit down. She giggled as they both walked in together.

caroline_cupcake

Caroline waggled a finger at Sadie and smiled at Ala in addition to Sirenz. "This is Sadie, my neice."

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien shakes his head when he feels the hug, and he returns it, smiling again at Elle.

He watches as the baby starts for him, and grins encouragingly at him, remaining quiet. There are so many people here!

Sirenz

Sirenz saw a beautiful girl looking at Xander with interest so she smiled back at her. Being the only anthro baby (so far) in the GMFC, she knew that Xander would have to get used to being stared at when he got older. blaugh

She saw Caroline come towards her with who she assumed was Sadie. "Hi there!" Xander began to make a loud wailing sound so Sirenz picked him up gently over her shoulder and patted his back.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala smiled and nods her head in greeting "Nice to meet you Sadie" she says in response though keeping an eye on her son as he moved away

Surion eventually reached Damien and sat reaching up "Aaahhppppttt!"

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien blinks, and looks around as though he has no idea what he is supposed to do. So, he bends forward and gingerly picks the boy up. "Hello, squirt," he says, taking the name that Nyoka used to call him and using it on him. "You're an active one, aren't you?" he says, going to poke his nose.

Sirenz

Xander stops wailing and sucks a clawed thumb looking at an anthro white tiger woman with interest. "That's auntie Tiffy, Xander hon. She is an anthro too. ^__^" Sirenz says with glee and she motions for Tiffiez to come an sit next to her.

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion giggled happily and waves his arms around blowing happy bubbles as he's picked up. He clapped his hands happily and reached for Damien's nose

Jiora

"What? Ah..no... It just give you headaches in the end anyway." Among other things, but he wasn't about to mention those sorts of things in such mixed company. "I might have a bit..but I don't want to get drunk again."

He paused and blinked, peering curiously at her. "Why can't you? Are you allergic to it or something? And..you're going somewhere? Why?"

White Neko Chan

*She giggles as she smiles, walking over to Sirenz and Xander.. "Want to come with me, darling?" *She purrs softly while flicking her tail, moving it to tickle him softly on his sides.*

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien's ear twitches, and he looks back at Elle, curiously a moment.

Before his flat nose is swatted at. "Ah, I don't think you want that, little one," he says, smiling at Surios. "There isn't much there for you to grab. . . ." he wrinkles his nose a moment. In one of his really rare shows of silliness, he crosses his eyes and sticks his tongue out. Better to keep a baby happy rather than crying. . . .

Sirenz

Baby Xander reaches out to the anthro woman, so Sirenz lets Tiffy hold him. "Be careful, his claws poke into your chest if you don't support him properly" Sirenz says in a warning tone.

The baby giggles as his auntie tickles him. He grabs his tail with his paw and chews on it.

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion giggled happily pulling his hand back and clapping his hands together. With his sharp-toothy-grin he bounced happily in Damien's grip

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien eyes the teeth warily a moment, before setting Surion on his lap and bouncing him on his knee, still holding on to him. He seemed to like the silly faces. . . . Godddess, this is so undignified! He grins and makes another silly face, flaring his nostrils and bugging his eyes out a little, sticking his tongue out again.

Sirenz

While Tiffy holds Xander, Sirenz sketches a quick sketch of them in her sketch book.

^__^

Xander snuggles into his blanket and keeps his claws to himself.

White Neko Chan

*She giggles as she smiles, looking for a rocker to rock Xander.. She kisses his forehead softly.* "Shh.. Just relax, lil one.. I ain't gonna let anyone hurt you at all. Not when you got a white tiger anthro as an aunt.. Your mommy can vouch for that." *She smiles, caressing his cheek softly while holding him.*

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion squeeled happily clapping his hands his little tail slapping happily against Damien's lap

Ala watched them with a soft chuckle

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien glances around, just to be sure no one is watching him. His eyes fall on Ala, and he blushes deeply and clears his throat. "Ah, I hope you aren't scared of heights," he says softly to Surion. He then lifts him above his head, playng "airplane." It seems much less embarassing than the silly faces. Besides, Nyoka confessed to doing that to him when he was a baby, and said that he liked it. Maybe this one would.

Neith-Kia

"It does! I love that, and there's so much stuff in the school. I want to share a room, it sounds like more fun. And they've even got these special scrolls... but only five students get one of those. So I'd like one but I don't know if I'll get one." Elle paused, and shrugged. She was a bit more uncertian when she answered, "I don't know... people will probably forget after a while. But still, there's thirty people up there to meet. I guess it'll be good."

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion stared at Damien for a moment a finger in his mouth as he was lifted up to play airplane. then without warning he squeeled happily his arms waving around, including hte drool covered finger which didn't exactly stay ON his finger, and his legs kicked happily

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien winces at the drool, another memory Nyoka sparked in him. Him putting her hair in his mouth and her shrieking.

Well, at least he liked it. . . .

Another glance around - Elle and Cyrus are off in their own little worlds, as is everyone else - has him standing, Surion still above his head. He grins at the baby, and starts to move around the room with him. After a few moments, he is actually losing himself in the little game, and he starts to make - descreet - airplane noises, dipping Surion a little, to make for a more interesting ride.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala chuckled and leaned on the chair watching for a time, Caroline had been quiet so she let her be for now.

Surion giggled happily often blowing raspberries making his own airplane sounds and not being quiet about it like Damien was

Neith-Kia

Elle's eyes lit up a bit, why hadn't she thought of that? Damien was a wizard, and it wasn't exactly like his wand magic. But still, all kinds were good to learn. "I could!"

...had that sounded too enthusiastic?

"I mean, yea. I could, and I could ask anyone else too." Elle tried to not go red, but it was hard. She twisted around to see where he was, grinning at the sight of him with the baby. "Damien?"

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania slips inside the clinic, she looks around smiling. It had been a few days since she last visited, she smiles seeing Cyrus making note to talk to him later, she also saw Elle, who seemed busy. She smiles seeing Ala. Making sure her bruise was well hidden by her long sleeve darkblue blouse, she fixes her jean miniskirt looking up and spotting Damien.

Her heart skipped a beat for a second by she brushed it away as she walked towards Ms. Ala "Hello Ms. Ala, I see Surion having fun..." she glances over at Damien before taking a seat hugging Ms. Ala at the same time "Mom finally ubngrounded me, but I've been busy.."

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien freezes when he hears his name. He turns a bright red as he clears his throat and lowers Surion. He shifts the baby to his hip and brushes his long braid back behind his shoulders.

He hurries back to his seat after waving to 'Nani. He doesn't know whether they are speaking again or not. . . . "Yes, Elle?" he asks as he sits down, trying to pretend no one had seen him acting in the manner that he was.

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiles and nods "Yea it is, I'm helping a friend out, its fun really...." she waves to Cyrus and Damien before turning back to Ala "So how Surion been? How Mr. Torvil?" she glances from the corner of her eye toward Damien.

Rolling her eyes she stand "I'll be right back..." she walks over towards the other teen, wrapping her arms around Damien's shoulder giving him a hug. "Hey Mien..." she leans down planting a soft kiss on Surion forehead "Hey Surion..." she glances at Cyrus and Elle smiling to them both then nodding.

Without giving Damien a chance to respond to her she releases him and head back to Ala, taking a seat she curls up next to her and smiles "So when do I get to babysit again?"

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien bounces Surion on his knee again, hoping to have him giggling again. "Sure," he says, without a thought. "Wait," he looks over at Elle a moment, remembering Mum Lenore, Nyoka, his deepening closeness to Rhiannon, and everyone else in his life. "How long would I be gone? And, do I have to stay there all the time?"

Damien blinks when he feels arms around him. When he sees who it is, he isn't given any time to respond, so he nods back at her, and then shrugs. 'Nani is probably really busy talking to Ala, anyway.

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion grinned "t-t-t-t-t-t-t!!" he bounced happily looking at her as she left

Ala chuckled "Was thinking of calling you again in teh next few days actually" Ala admitted

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien looks thoughtfully into space. "I don't know. I would need to speak with Mum Lenore, first. And Nyoka, everyone else," he says. "Mum Eirnae's been gone a long time, and I want to make sure Mum Lenore is fine if I do leave," he adds. "I'll think about it," he says, smiling to Elle.

His' slitted pupils slide to look at Cyrus. "I don't think she would have asked me had you agreed to going. I suppose with your new job you can't just pack up and leave," his smile widens a little, in a friendly manner.

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiles "That be fun, I would just have to talk to Kira and find out if she could teach class that day..." she lays her head on her arm, she seemed so relax and calm.

"Oh could you let Mr. Torvil know I'll be bring back some of his spell books? I had finally found the spell I was looking for, now the trouble is finding all the items needed for it..." she pushes her hair from her face looking back at Damien before looking away agin. "I'll just have to ask my grandfather when I see him in Durem later this weekend.." she let it slip and didn't even notice that she mentioned her grandfather.

caroline_cupcake

Sadie turned over to the group of teens with a curious look. Caroline had told her of the Somonen Academy and she was planning on applying. Sadie took a deep breath, got her "cool" together and walked over. "Hey, guys, sorry to just interupt anything going on...But I hear your talking about the Academy, are any of you applying? " She stiffened her back and bit her lip nervously. "I got my forms ready, so hopefully I shall be applying this semester." With a tiny nod, Sadie flashed everyone a tiny smile.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

"Flattery, Elle, might just get you everywhere," Damien smiles a little at her.

Then, a flash of a very foregn emotion comes to Damien's reptilian sea-green eyes when he looks at Tinania. Nyoka had told them about both his and Tinania's grandparents the other day, and he still isn't sure how he is going to deal with it. He'll just have to talk to her later . . .

He forces the anger down, and looks back at Elle, Cyrus, and now Sadie. "I'm thinking about it," he admits. "And, I am trying not to be too concerned. Mum Eirnae wouldn't be away for so long unless it was something important. But, I miss her. . . ." he sighs a little, looking down at Surion. For 'old' time's sake, he sticks his tongue out at him again and crosses his eyes.

He then turns to Cyrus again. "Well, I hope you can try for next term," he says. "Does anyone know when the last day you can apply is? Just so I know how long I have to make a decision."

Alatariel Rakamash

"Your... grandfather?" Ala stiffened slightly then tried to relax "I'll let Torvil know, though I'm ot sure he's concerned about if he gets them back or not...."

Surion squawked and reached forward grabbing whatever clothing he could and tried to pull himself to stand which wasn't really easy when he was being held

caroline_cupcake

"Oh, thank you. I bet next semester you can apply, maybe? I think the school is getting rather popular already." Sadie nodded with a resurring smile.

Sadie turns towards Damien and grins. "Well, I know I shall atleast try and apply, atleast I'll most likely feel more at home there then with Caroline." She grimaces as she mentions Caroline's name then chuckles.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien helps Surion, mindful of his silk vest. Thinking it better if he was on the floor, Damien scoops him up and sets him back down. He links his fingers into Surion's fists and pulls up gently, trying to help him stand better.

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania arches a brow "Yea...have you met him? He really nice, when my grandmother wasn't with us, he would take care of us. Me, Ducan, and Celia. It was fun, I promise I would go see him, but then I got grounded." she pauses as she lays her head on her arm "But now that I'm not I'm gonna go see him this weekend. My mother's brother suppose to be there also...As will Melantha.." she giggles as she taps her foot alittle.

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion blinked and looked up at him, he gripped the fingers i his fists tightly pulling on them to try and stand "Aaappfftt?" he said

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien stiffens noticeably at the words he is overhearing from Tinania, the muscle in his jaw working overtime.

Rather than say anything about it, he looks back at Elle, and says, "Mum Lenore says that I look almost exactly like her," he says, before glancing at Sadie. He's in a rahter uncomfortable position, his back bent so that he can help Surion still. "Good luck to you, Sadie. If I get in, I might see you there," he smiles a little.

He has to chuckle, however, at how excited Elle is becoming. "Well, two horses for thirty people. That will be interesting," he says. "Thank you, however, for all of the information."

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

"We'll write you, Cyrus," Damien offers. "I just hope that life hasn't sent you more than you can handle right now. We'll be epecting letters back," he grins now before looking back down at Surion.

"Yes, you're doing fine," Damien replies, not at all sure what Surion was asking, anyway, as he gently pulls Surion up again. "Maybe you can try to take a few steps."

caroline_cupcake

Sadie glances over at Elle and puts her hand out. "Hey, I'm Sadie."

"Oh, well I hope you do! I know my Aunt gave you a job, so I bet she'll be more than glad to help if you need anything…considering she is the charitable type." Sadie tilted her head a bit as she looked at Cyrus.

She then turned towards Damien. "Well, you mean if I do get in of course." A wary grin flashed upon Sadie's face.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala looks at Tinania and skirts the question about how she knows the girl's grandfather... "Who is Melantha?" she asks curiously

Surion giggled and bounced holding Damien's fingers once he'd gotten himself standing

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania eyes brighten "Melantha, she awesome, she my mothers twin, or at least that what my grandfather had said." she sits up giggilng "She got black hair that goes all the way down her back, green eyes, then she also got the marking like me and mum."

She pause then thinks "Oh I can't forget her cobra Midoshi, she always has it with her. I think she knows how to speak to her. Because the snake only listens to her..." she pulls her cell phone out and flipping though the picture she holds it out to Ala "See? That Melantha, me and Midoshi. Ducan took it for us."

caroline_cupcake

Sadie glanced down to the ground as she scuffled her foot a bit, she indeed felt uncomfortable…what was she supposed to talk about, the weather? "Well, this feels rather weird." She blurted out. "I mean, have you ever felt weird, with those awkward silences and nothing to talk about?" Sadie shrugged with a weak smile. "Considering I've lived in the dream realm all my life and don't even know what that thingy back there is called, feels pretty weird to me." She waggled her finger towards the slide, the part of the Dream Realm where she had lived had a rather renaissance feel to it, a dash of fantasy and add one quarter of a dream that never ends.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien returns Elle's hug, and smiles after her. "I'll see you later," he calls after her.

He turns back to Sadie, and say, "If you think negatively, then you won't get in," he pauses. "Just stay positive, and you have a better chance of getting in."

After a short study of Cyrus, Damien is a little worried. But, he says nothing, save, "I know we don't know each other too well, but if you need to speak to someone, I'm here," in a soft voice, for only he and Cyrus to hear. "Good luck, then, Cyrus," he adds. "We'll get in touch somehow if everything goes as Elle wants it to, to get your address."

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien returns Elle's hug, and smiles after her. "I'll see you later," he calls after her.

He turns back to Sadie, and say, "If you think negatively, then you won't get in," he pauses. "Just stay positive, and you have a better chance of getting in."

After a short study of Cyrus, Damien is a little worried. But, he says nothing, save, "I know we don't know each other too well, but if you need to speak to someone, I'm here," in a soft voice, for only he and Cyrus to hear. "Good luck, then, Cyrus," he adds. "We'll get in touch somehow if everything goes as Elle wants it to, to get your address."

caroline_cupcake

"Yea, I'm just not to keen on these parts so my confidence level has dropped about 10 points." Sadie nodded slowly and bit the bottom of her lip.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

"We can try walking to your mum," Damien tells Surion, still holding onto him so he doesn't hurt himself.

Damien looks in the direction Sadie was pointing. "It's a slide," he says, smiling slightly. "It's fine. No one would expect you to know everything, anyway. Many people aren't originally from here."

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion dropped down and turned crawling towards his mom and Tinania

Ala stared athe picture wideyed gasping. Her eyes travelled back up to Tinania and she gave her a smile "Nice picture" she said to her

caroline_cupcake

Sadie smiled. "A S-l-i-d-e." She laughed as she repeated the word. "I guess your right, Aw who's that?" Sadie looked at Surion and cooed. "He's so chubby and adorable!" not wanting to be an obstacle in Surion's path, Sadie stayed to the side watching him rather curiously. 'So, what exactly is it like here?" She carefully lowered herself to the ground and sat in an Indian style.

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania giggles nodding "Yea, I'm glad I have it, I have one of my granfather also. They call me almost everyday just to see how the family is. I tell grandfather that mum's always busy so she never home. Grandfather says its sad I'm left alone. I told him I'm not." she places her cell phone away then smiles

"I like having the house to my self, gives me time to think. Also I get a chance to work on my spells." she giggles watching Damien and Surion, she looked as if she was herself again.

Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar

Damien waves to the familiar newcomer. As he tries to place her, he glances back at Sadie. "That's Miss. Ala's son," he says, nodding toward the crawling baby.

caroline_cupcake

"Ooo." Sadie waved at Surion, she positioned herself and laid on her belly so that she felt closer to the child.

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion babbles pausing to look at Sadie before he moved to Tinania and reaches up to her "Aaapppffttt T-t-t-t-t"

Ala bit her lip hoping mainly for Tinania's safety as she nodded "You just take care when you are on your own" she said

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiles "I am, beside if something happens to me I think my grandfather wouldn't be too happy. I think he destory the person who hurt me..." she pulls out her phone as it starts to ring.

She giggles "Hey just the guy I was talking about...I'll be right back..." getting up she answer the phone as she walks out of the clinic.

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion watches Tinania get up and walk away and whimpers letting his hands drop

Ala watched her walk outside then looked at her son "She'll be back lil man" she said

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiles walking back in she was holding her arms out to Surion. "Can I hold you now little guy?" she wrinkles her nose then giggles "Oh Ms. Ala, my granfather said hello...."

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala nodded slowly she was trying to think of a way to put what she wanted to tell Tinania delicately.

Surion grinned his toothy grin "aaapppfffttt" he said putting his arms out again

"Tinania, I wanted to get ahold of your mom get togther with her, could I get her phone number from you?" Ala said still thinking

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiles and pulling out her cell phone once again she flips though it. Pulling up her mother's number she gives the phone to Ala. "There you go, she might not answer right away, she busy planning all the last minutes things for the wedding..."

Tinania takes Surion into her arms and bounces him on her lap "Hey little one how are you?"

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala nodded looking at the number and taking note of it in her mind before pressing that talk button getting up to wander a little as she spoke

Surion squealed happily clapping his hands together and bouncing on Tinania's lap

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiles her wings fluttering as she held Surion. Her mind was elsewhere today, like it had been since she got back from Greece. Wrinkling her nose up she sighs before looking at Surion as he laughed.

The phone rang a few times before going to a voice mail "Hey this is Krista, I'm not around at this point to pick up my phone, but go ahead and leave me a message along with you name and number. I'll try to get back to you soon, later..." there was a beep after her message.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala almost started talking until she realized the voice she heard was a message. She left her name and the number of hte cell phone she had gotten along with a message about getting together with her

Surion reached happily for Tinania's hair

Ala returned to the chairs and handed Tinania her phone "Thanks" she said pulling out a scrap of paper writing on it and stuffing it back in Surion's bag

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiles and nods "No problem, glad I could help..." she looks at Surion and makes a silly face at him.

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion giggled happily and raspberried her bouncing lightly on her lap "t-t-t-t-t" he said pointing at her

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania arches a brow before looking to Ala "Ms. Ala is he trying to say my name?" she looks back at Surion and smiles.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala chuckled "I think he might be he's got all sorts of short forms so fat, I'm just plain mmmmaa, Torvil is adahhdahh our eldest is Vvvveee, and he calls his dragons drdrs"

"t-t-t-t-t" Surion was persistant and reaching for Tinania's nose now

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania giggles leaning down so he can touch her nose "Aww Surion your so sweet...." she pushes her hair from her face then sticks her tongue out at Surion.

Tinania couldn't help but overhear Cyrus and Bronnie "Wow, I didn't know you two had fa'e brothers or sister. Aylana my older sister is also a fa'e, she knows Rune and Ghylssa..."

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion giggled happily and played with Tinania's nose quite contently

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania giggles and holds Surion close before looking at Ala. "Ms Ala, I know this might be a stupid question, but how do you know you might like someone but they might like somebody else?"

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala pondered Tinania's question "I'm not entirely sure Tinania, myself I know Torvil was married at the time and I respected that fact, I guess it's kinda like a longing for someone" she said

Surion played happily with the edge of Tinania's clothing babbling and blowing bubbles

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania thought that over then nod "A longing, so you just waited?" Tinania looks down at Surion and smiles running her finger lightly over his head

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala nodded "Yeah for the most part. When I finally did tell him my feelings I found them to be reciprocated."

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiles but frowns again "What if this person knows your feeling but won't return then?"

Alatariel Rakamash

"Thats a risk all us women have to take I suppose" she said sighing softly

Surion worked to pull himself to stand in Tinania's lap

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania sighs "I see....." she looks at Surion holding him around the belly "Ms. Ala, your very lucky to have Mr. Torvil, he loves you very much..."

Alatariel Rakamash

"You will find the right person for you Tinania, it may take time but you will find them" Ala said softly

Surion giggled happily and bent his legs and straightened them bouncing in her lap... something he loved doing

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania sighs "I have a feeling I already have...." she giggles making silly faces at Surion.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala smiled "Then patience is a virtue"

Surion laughed and reached towards the funny faces she was making

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiles "Yea I guess it is...But how long should a person wait?" she wrinkles her nose at Surion.

Alatariel Rakamash

"However long they feel they need to." Ala said softly

Surion giggled and reached for her nose his little fingers brushing it's surface

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania nods "Thank Ms. Ala, you helped me out alot..." she kisses Surion nose then smiles "So Surion you being a good boy?"

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala smiled and nodded

Surion babbled at her latching onto a lock of her hair as he did

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania giggles and sits up carefully "One more thing Ms. Ala, should a person avoid the one they love, if they know there with another?"

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala shook her head "I didn't, just don't try to push yourself on them, be a friend"

Surion yawned softly in Tinania's arms and sat down then leaned against her

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania nods holding Surion "So just treat them like a friend...but what if that not an easy thing to do?" she rubs Surion back lightly.

Alatariel Rakamash

"Nothing is ever easy especially if you have feelings for someone' Ala said softly

Surion popped his thumb into his mouth looking up at her reaching with a grabby-hand

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania sighs placing her finger in Surion's hand "So basically liking is not easy at all....When does it get easy?" she leans back so confused at this point.

Alatariel Rakamash

"I don't know that it ever does..." Ala said with a sigh

Surion moved his hand away still doing grabby hands

Ala noticed and scooped his blanket from the floor and handed it to him

Surion latched onto it immediately

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania nods "I see, I still have much to learn it seems....." she looks down at Surion and smiles "I think maybe I should give him back to you so you can take him home..." she hand Surion back as she stand "I must be going, I have much to think about..."

Alatariel Rakamash

"Aye, I'll be calling you soon to babysit" she said holding her son close as he started to doze

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiles "Okay you have my number.. It was good to see you both..." with a bow she turns walking out of the clinic.

Alatariel Rakamash

"Laters" she calls gathering up Surion's stuff and soon following suit her mind on the conversation with Tinania that day

Ala's Journal

Dear Diary

I don't know why diary but I find the clinic to be a fairly peaceful place Surion got to meet Damien, Damien had a feeling my child would be male, and he was right. Damien seemed reserved though, like he shouldn't be seen doing silly playful things with a baby... Oh well, I saw Tinania too, I'm worried for her, her grandfather is not a safe man. And that woman.... She's the one who tricked Myself and Lenore!...

Our Boy is Getting Bigger

Torvil sighed as he popped out of the nether with Ala and Surion, wiping his brow and grumbling. "We'll get that shadow..." He muttered darkly as he wandered towards the house.

"I don't get how it got up there" Ala said response

Surion pulled at his blanket puling it of his head "peek!"

Torvil gasped and looked to Surion. "Did he just say..." All other thought processes gone.

Ala blinked looking down at Surion "You know I think he did" she mused

Surion giggled at the attention

Torvil smiled and tossed the blanket back over his head.

Surion pulled his blanket soon off his head "Peek!" she said with am excited giggle and a grin

Torvil laughed happily and kissed his forehead. "As for the Shadow, I think it got on the lost city... At least, that's my theory..." He murmured.

Surion squealed happily

Ala nodded "Guess that's the most feasible explanation"

Torvil grinned at his son. "I wonder what other words he knows now..." he chuckled, tossing the blanket over his head again.

Surion pulled it off "Peek! Dada Peek!"

Torvil laughed happily and kissed his son's forehead again. "This is so great!" He smiled, opening the door of their home.

Ala laughed "He is getting to be such a big boy

Surion bounced happily in his mother's arms

Torvil smiled. "Yeah he is..." He smiled happily and kissed her and Surion again, before tossing the blanket yet again on Surion's head.

Surion pulled it off "Peek!"

Torvil laughed softly. "A boo!" He snorted and shook his head. "You're a riot Sur..."

"Sur sur sur" Surion said excitedly

Torvil beamed and looked to Ala with a happy smile. "He's grown into such a fine young one hasn't he?"

Ala nuzzled her son "Aye" she said softly

Surion giggled happily

Torvil smiled and moved them over to the couch to sit down. He tickled the tip of Surion's nose with a finger.

Surion went after his father's finger trying to grab it

Ala laughed and sat down with Surion in her lap

Torvil chuckled and let Surion catch his finger after a little game of keep away. He beamed at Ala happily.

Surion wiggled out of his mother's lap dropping onto the floor on his bottom pulling his father's finger with him

Torvil had to lean forwards. "Were are we going Lil Surion? Eh? An explore? An Adventure?" He laughed softly.

Surion looked up at him "Goig" he copied before pulling to stand at his mother's knees still holding the finger

Torvil smiled and chuckled softly. "Going? Where are we going..." He smiled and beamed, casting a happy. 'OMG he's gonna try to walk' Look at Ala

"Goig!" he giggled bouncing right where he was for a time holding her pants

Ala laughed looking between her son and her mate

Torvil smiled at him. "Going!" He said happily and looked up at Ala again. Then back to Surion with a smile.

Surion took a step sideways away from his father along the couch grinning "Go go go go"

Torvil smiled and leaned forward, acting like he was following. "Go time eh?" He chuckled softly.

Surion squealed happily and took a few more sidesteps cruising along the front of the couch away from his father

Torvil kept following happily, a grin on his face, eventually he got off the couch and onto his free hand and knees, crawling after his son slowly.

Surion got to the far end of the couch and stopped looking back at his father with a giggle

Torvil chuckled and looked at him. "Think you can do it? Or does Daddy need to go backwards?"

"Do!" he squealed happily and dropped onto his bottom letting go of his father's hand and crawling away as if being chased

Torvil laughed and slowly crawled after him making 'scary' growling noises. "I'm gonna get you!"

"Nononono" Surion squealed moving as fast as his little limbs would carry him across the floor

Ala laughed watching them

Torvil chuckled and laughed having fun and moving very slowly. "I'm gonna eat you all up... gwar!" He said in his most fake scary that it was more... well... funny...

Surion changed directions squealing and heading for the coffee table

Torvil aimed to follow, moving very slowly, knowing he wasn't going to be able to catch his child if he slid under the coffee table... It was way too low clearance for him.

Surion stopped at the table and reached up for it's edge and pulled himself to stand next to it holding it's edge and looking back at his father

Torvil chuckled and stopped crawling, sliding into a sitting position. "Awww you reached safe base..."

Surion giggled "Safe!" he copied before starting to cruise along the table's edge

Torvil chuckled and crawled around the table, parallel to his son, a big smile on his face.

"Goig!" Surion giggled moving along

Torvil laughed happily at him and beamed. "Yeah you are..." he looked to Ala with a smile.

Ala grinned

Surion dropped down when his father looked away and crawled under the table

Torvil looked backed, and pouted fakely. "Where did my little morsel of fun go?" He said, still seeing him, but pretending his was well hidden.

Surion giggled poking his head out of the table beside his father "Peek!"

Torvil laughed and crawled over, sticking his head down low so he could interact better. "Well hello."

"ello!" he giggled reaching for his father's nose

Torvil laughed and leaned forwards, making it easier for Surion to catch the bump on his face.

Surion grabbed the nose and pinched it before squealing happily and disappearing under the table again

Torvil laughed and stuck his head under the table. "Where you go?" He called after son.

"Go go go!" Surion headed out the other side and towards the hall

Ala couldn't stop giggling watching them

Torvil got up and walked around the table before kneeling back and following his son on all fours.

"No get! No get!" Surion giggled moving quickly heading i the direction of his room

Torvil laughed and crawled faster, so right on Surion's heels. "I'm gonna get you!" He said in his best fake scary voice. So it sounded funny.

"nonononono!" Surion squealed turning the corner

Ala fell back laughing

Torvil laughed and keep casing him, his wings unfurling. "Gwar! I am the evil dragon king, and I am hungry! I am going to eat you up!" He said, his tail thrashing a little.

Surion squealed crawling and disappearing into his room

Torvil followed him in. He started sniffing the air, playing at being dragon.

"No get! no get!" Surion dropped onto his bottom right beside his pile of stuffed dragons grabbing one by it's tail

Torvil made a horrified face. "Oh no! It is the good Dragon king! Ahhhh!" He fake yowled, turning and 'fleeing' from the room.

Surion giggled and swung the dragon around happily

Torvil returned slowly, this time as daddy. He smiled. "Hey Surion... Having fun?" He asked as he walked in and sat next to his son.

"Fnfnfn" Surion grinned and crawled forward into his father's lap

Torvil smiled and purred, kissing the top of his son's head with a smile. "That's good."

Surion looked up at his father "Dada!" he grinned poking his father's nose

Torvil chuckled and smiled. "What is it about my nose?" He laughed softly.

Surion giggled "nse" he copied poking the nose once again

Torvil chuckled and leaned down kissing his son's nose with a grin and picking up a dragon. He pulled his head back and put the dragon there instead. "Gwar! What am I?" He chuckled.

"Dragnose" he poked the dragon's nose

Torvil chuckled and kissed his son's forehead. "That's my boy..." He chuckled happily and put the dragon on the top of his son's head, and poked his son's nose softly.

"nose!" Surion giggled reaching for his father's again

Torvil chuckled and lowered his head down and stuck out his tongue. "Hehe..." He grinned.

Surion giggled poking his father's tongue and stuck his own little tongue out

Torvil chuckled. "That'a boy..." He smirked, rubbing the top of his son's head.

Surion giggled and reached taking hold his father's hair pulling to stand

Torvil winced. "ow...ow.. ow...ow..." He let him do it anyway.

"Owww?" Surion stopped now standing and looking directly into his father's eyes

Torvil smiled softly. "That hurt a little... when you hurt..." He pinched Surion's arm very softy. "You go ow..."

Surion's button lip quivered and he let go dropping down again

Torvil stroked his cheek and patted his son's head. "It's okay Surion..."

Surion stared at him with his bright blue eyes his tail curling around himself

Torvil smiled softly at him and brushed his son's head softly. "Shhh... It's okay my little one..." He slowly moved to give him some hair.

"Ow" he whined pointing at his father's hair before turning to crawl off his father's lap

Torvil shook his head. "No Surion..." He took hold of his son and offered the hair. "Not ow... only ow if you pull..."

Surion clasped both his hands together "Ow"

Torvil sighed and kissed his son softly. "No Surion, no ow right now..." He hugged his son lightly.

Surion leaned against his father's chest

Torvil brushed Surion's head softly with a smile. "Love you Surion..."

"Love Dada" he said quietly clinging to his father's shirt

Torvil smiled and kissed the top of his head. "Want stand?"

"Up?" Surion asked looking up at him

Torvil nodded and slowly started to lift him up.

Surion smiled softly letting go of his father's top

Torvil smiled and slowly stood him up. "Want stand or hold in arms?" He asked very softly with a smile.

"Up" Surion repeated watching his father

Torvil chuckled and stood him up, holding him in a standing position. "Or up up?"

"Up!" his face broke into a grin

Torvil chuckled and stood up, taking Surion with him.

Surion held his father's shoulder turning his torso to look around

Torvil chuckled and put Surion up on his shoulders, holding him there firmly with his hands.

Surion's eyes went slightly wide and he wrapped his arms around his father's head

Torvil smiled. "Don't worry I'm not gonna let you fall, you're always safe with daddy..." He looked up a little. "Bet you can see a lot better now..."

Surion giggled and loosed his grip only to take hold of something he could reach better that wasn't 'ow'... his father's horns

Torvil chuckled and smirked, shivering a little. "There ya go..." He chuckled. He thanked the gods that if he really needed to they could be made numb... With just enough force.

Surion clung to them and bounced on his father's shoulders as he was carried

Torvil chuckled and walked out into the living room, ducking his head so Surion didn't bump his.

Surion giggled happily

Ala was in the kitchen making food

Torvil chuckled and headed for her. "Hey love... Look I changed again..."

Ala turned and looked at him holding back a giggle "Oh no! you grew a Surion!" she said trying in vain to hold a straight face

Torvil chuckled. "Yep... And a big one too..." He said with a smirk, as Surion couldn't see his face in this position.

Surion looked confuse "Aaaahh?"

Torvil smirked and looked up at him. "Yeah... A really big Surion... Wonder what it'll do..."

Ala chuckled "Perhaps your new change is hungry?"

Surion blinked "ungry?"

Torvil chuckled and looked up at him. "YOu want to eat Surion?" He smirked looking at Ala for a moment.

"eat?" he was repeating the words he heard

Torvil chuckled and looked to Ala. "Care to show him darling love, or should I?" His stomach started to rumble.

Ala laughed bringing food to the table "You can if you want"

Torvil smiled and sat down, Surion still on his shoulders.

"Aaahh?" he wasn't used to this

Torvil chuckled and looked to Ala. "Food darlin?" He chuckled.

Ala chuckled and sat down

Surion repeated himself "Aaahh?"

Torvil smiled and looked up at Surion. "It's food time..." He smirked.

"Aaaaaaa" he let go with one hand reaching

Torvil chuckled and lifted him up off his head and set him down on a bare platter.

Surion blinked and looked back up at his father

Torvil chuckled. "Hmm... You think it's a little undercooked?" He looked to Ala.

Surion put his finger in his mouth staring at his father a look of confusion on his face

Ala chuckled

Torvil smirked and shook his head. "Nahhh... Definitely undercooked." He chuckled and traded the Surion platter for the meat one, and started to serve.

Surion looked around and rocked forwards onto his hands and knees starting to crawl off the platter

Torvil chuckled and shook his head. "Oh no! The meal, it's escaping!"

Surion kept moving "Aaahhhaahhhahh"

Torvil chuckled and looked at Ala for a moment before he scooped Surion up and plopped him in his lap, putting a nice easy to swallow shred of meat in his mouth.

Surion smiled and ate the food given

Torvil smiled and kept feeding him, eating in between Surion feedings.

"nyahnyahnyah" Surion said as a little of the meat got a little chewing

Torvil chuckled lightly and looked to Ala. "He's learning..." He smiled.

Ala smiled and nodded "That he is"

Torvil chuckled and smiled, nuzzling Surion's head as he gave him yet another shred of meat.

Surion leaned into the food taking it with his little pointy teeth nipping at his finger tips at the same time

Torvil chuckled caused the nipping tickled a little. He pulled his mouth away to get more meat for Surion.

"mrrr" Surion said reaching for his father's meal

Torvil chuckled and got him some more, offering it to him.

Surion made no hesitation going after the food

Torvil chuckled and played keep away.

Surion squealed reaching for his father's hand

Torvil chuckled. "Okay..." he slowly moved it closer.

Surion took hold of the wrist pulling the food in his father's hand closer to himself to get a hold of it

Torvil smiled and let Surion have his way, it wasn't his fault he spoiled his youngest was it?

Ala leaned on the table watching him "You like the lack of rush don't you" she said softly

Torvil nodded happily. "So much more time to enjoy the good..." He smiled softly. "And I don't have to face the fact that in a month I'll be a grandfather... again..."

Ala chuckled "Thought you said your grandkids were slowpokes"

Torvil chuckled, and nodded. "They are..." He said with a smirk.

Ala laughed "And Surion isn't?"

Torvil chuckled. "But it's okay for him to be a slowpoke.."

Ala chuckled

Surion watched his father "Mrrr!!" he demanded

Torvil chuckled and shook his head. "My we're pushing..."

Surion squirmed and growled "Mrrr!"

Torvil laughed and got him some more.

Surion leaned forward and took the food in his mouth hungrily

Torvil smiled. "Hungry little beast you are..." He moved to get more food, only to find... His plate was empty."

Surion looked up at his dad "Mrrr?"

Torvil chuckled and served up more, and moved to get him more.

"Aaahhh" Surion sat open mouthed

Torvil laughed, and popped the meat into his mouth with a smile.

Surion smiled chewing a couple times before swallowing

Torvil beamed. "He's chewing!" He smiled and got him another piece of meat.

Ala laughed and cleared the other plates from the table

Surion bounced as he took it

Torvil grinned and got ready to get more meat for his son, his own hunger forgotten.

Surion took the meat happily

Torvil smiled, and aimed to keep feeding him till he was full.

Surion pushed his father's hand away and squirmed to get out of his father's lap once full

Torvil grinned and popped the meat into his mouth. He put Surion back on the platter.

Surion rolled to his hands and knees and started crawling away

Torvil laughed softly. "Watch out Surion, There's only so much table.."

The words stopped Surion only long enough for him to look over his shoulder before he kept going his little tail swaying back and forth

Torvil chuckled and looked to Ala for a moment before getting up and making sure Surion didn't fall off the table.

Ala was standing at sink cleaning the dishes

Surion got to the edge and looked over it

Torvil chuckled. "That's the ground, if you go off that way... ow..."

Surion pointed over the edge "Ow"

"Yes, fall go boom, and go ow..." He said softly.

"Boom" Surion repeated still staring over the edge

"yes, Boom ow..." He chuckled, slowly learning how to communicate with his young son.

"Dowww" he pointed again

Torvil moved over to Surion picking him up and putting him down on the floor.

Surion squealed and crawled to the nearest chair grabbing hold of it's edge and using it to pull to stand

Torvil laughed and watched him with a grin.

Surion looked at his father for a moment before looking at the chair for a moment lifting a leg and leaning forward in an attempt to climb though he was too short to get enough leverage

Torvil chuckled and moved over, giving Surion a little boost.

Surion giggled getting atop of the chair ad turning till he was sitting on it

Torvil smiled. And sat in front of the chair with a grin.

Surion grinned and pointed to himself "Sur!"

Torvil smiled and nodded happily. "Sur!"

Surion pointed to him "Dada"

Torvil chuckled. "Yes, Dada..." He smiled and pointed at Ala who could be seen at the sink. "Whoozat?"

"Mama!" she said clapping his hands

Torvil chuckled. "Good job!" He smiled and leaned up to plant a Kiss on Surion's forehead.

Surion giggled and a moment later yawned

Torvil smiled. "I think it's naptime..." He chuckled softly, moving to pick Surion up.

"Nap no no no" he said squirming

Torvil chuckled. "Fine... No nap... how bout... game?"

"Game?" he said looking up at him

Ala laughed "You spoil him"

Torvil chuckled and looked over his shoulder with a wink mouthing. 'Or I trick him.' He turned back to Surion. "Yeah It's really fun... It's called... Play Dead... I bet you can't beat me."

"Play?" Surion looked at him blinking

Torvil chuckled and lay back on the ground. "Well you fake that you're dead see... like this..." He lay perfectly still.

Surion reached up smacking his open hand on his father's cheek "Up"

Torvil laughed and sat up. "Cheater... Now you try..." He chuckled, putting him on the ground.

Surion sat there watching him then flopped sideways laying watching him open-eyed his tail swaying on the floor

Torvil chuckled and watched him. "Better close your eyes... Can't be dead with open eyes..." He smirked.

"Clse?" he blinked

Torvil chuckled and lay next to him shutting his eyes. "Close"

Surion poked his father's closed eye "Clse"

Torvil chuckled softly. "Close..." He smirked, opening the none poked one.

Surion giggled and reached to poke the second eye "Clse!"

Torvil closed it quickly to avoid getting it poked.

Surion giggled rolling onto his back clapping his hands happily

Torvil chuckled. "Now you do it..."

"Do do do" Surion grinned widely

Torvil chuckled and smirked, sitting up. "Bet you can't catch me..."

Surion watch him for a moment before rolling and getting up on his hands and knees

Torvil chuckled and started scooting away quickly.

Surion giggled and followed after his father

Torvil tired to keep out of his reach completely.

Surion soon got frustrated and changed directions making a beeline under the coffee table as they got close

Torvil chuckled and moved to cut him off, tossing his body out in front of him like a wall.

Surion whined and turned for another piece of furniture he could get under

Torvil frowned and slowly moved again this time to catch him.

Surion kept moving as his father tried to catch him

"Surion, daddy's sorry..." He said softly.

Surion stopped looking over his shoulder at his father

Torvil came over and picked up his son, sliding him into his lap. "Look you caught me!"

"Aaah?" Surion looked at him

Torvil chuckled softly and kissed his forehead.

Surion turned and tried to crawl out of his father's lap again

Torvil let him go wanting to see where he was going.

Surion got out and made a bee-line for the coffee table again

Torvil chuckled and followed him slowly.

Surion went under it and stopped

Torvil watched him, laying on his tummy. "Whatcha up to?"

Surion rolled onto his side looking at his father from under the table

Torvil grinned and watched him. "is it comfy under there?"

Surion's thumb made it into his mouth as he lay quietly his blue eyes on his father

Torvil grinned and moved closer, sliding his hand under the table to stroke his son's cheek softly, he started to hum.

Surion's eyes slowly closed his free hand making grabby motions as they did

Torvil moved quickly and brought him his blanket sliding it under the table to him.

Surion's hand clung to it pulling it to himself as his eyes stayed fully closed and he started to doze off

Torvil smiled and slowly started to pull Surion from out from under the table.

Surion opened his eyes and squirmed not yet fully asleep

Torvil sighed and stopped moving him, letting him slowly fall back to sleep.

Surion rolled and closed his eyes again

Torvil waited for a fifty count before moving him again.

Surion was asleep this time

Torvil smiled and slowly moved him out from under the table and into his arms. He got up and headed for his and Ala's room.

Ala watched Torvil carry Surion down the hall and followed

Torvil slowly put Surion in the middle of the bed and kicked off his shoes, sliding in on his side and holding his son close.

"You taking a nap too love?" she asked quietly

Torvil chuckled softly. "No, not really, just want to lay with him..."

Ala chuckled softly and nodded turning and heading back out of the room to let them rest

Torvil smiled and cuddled with Surion, slowly dosing off.

Ala's Journal

Dear Diary

My son is a daddy's boy that much is plainly obvious, I suppose right now you could say I have two kids when I watch Surion with his father somethings I think thats what I have. Torvil tried to trick Surion into a nap, I guess our son is just too 'smart' for that, however he did turn around and fall asleep under the table... Such is life and I leave Surion in the capable hands of his father as they nap

Torvil's Journal

Dear Journal,

Hehe, well Surion was a little too quick for me... But I got him in the end... Perhaps I shouldn't leave him on the bed... But what harm will it do... I'm only going to go check to see if the messanger came... I heard a scratching noise and it woke me up. Today's been fun for the most part... Surion's learned sooo much and I've been able to let loose, all the stress is gone...

Surion Takes a Tumble & First Steps

There came a small scratching at the window.

Ala turned towards the sound and wandered towards the window

The small message beast was in the window, pawing to get in.

Ala opened the window admitting the creature

The Creature hopped onto the counter top and looked at her, sniffed her hand for a moment, before presenting the scroll.

"Thankyou" she said giving it a pet and taking the scroll to open it Ala's eyes went wide and she rolled the scroll up stuffing it in her back pocket giving the creature a treat to say Thankyou

The Creature purred and nuzzled her hand, before waiting to see if was going to get a reply message.

Ala thought about it and grabbed a sheet of paper writing a very quick note thanking her some for the news and a congrats to her grandkids and handed it to the creature

The Creature chirped and skittered out the window.

Ala pulled the window shut again and stood at the counter deciding what to do

Torvil came out a little later with a yawn. "Hey... Was the messenger just here?"

"Yeah..." she said sounding distracted

"What it bring?" He asked his distracted wife. "Good news, Bad news?"

"Vin's kids have mates, no kids.. and Asy and Dia been at it" she said still slightly distracted

Torvil blinked. "Say what? Here let me see it..." He asked looking for the letter.

Ala reached into her back pocket and pulled it out handing it to Torvil without looking

Torvil took it and read it, biting his lip to stifle a laugh.

"I am going to go have to bug Dia" Ala mused finally looking up

Torvil chuckled softly and touched her arm. "Later... from the looks of this, bugging her right now could be bad..." Though judging by the level of drying on the ink, the letter had been written yesterday.

Ala nodded "That's what I thought too" she said looking out the window

Torvil looked it over. "It might be safer to fly... Though... The ink is about a day dry... Sooo..."

Ala chuckled

Torvil smirked. "What you think I'd let Asy off easy for this either?"

Ala laughed loudly

Torvil smirked. "We'd need somebody to watch Surion tho... No need for him to pick up those kinds of words yet..."

Ala chuckled "Could go one at a time"

Torvil tapped his chin. "That would could... But that would be less fun..." He sighed softly. "But I guess if you really want to go alone I'll let you go first..."

Ala chuckled "I'd rather razz her alone anyways, it's more fun"

Torvil chuckled. "Alright... You go on ahead, I'll watch Surion.."

Ala nodded and stood up away from the counter "'kay" she said looking at him

Torvil smiled and kissed her softly. "Have fun."

Ala chuckled "Yeah... you too, you and Surion seemed to be enjoying yourself"

Torvil chuckled happily, and kissed her again. "Yeah..."

Ala headed out the door of the house

Shortly after Ala left there was a loud crash and a cry from Ala and Torvil's room

Torvil swore at his stupidity, he should have taken Surion off the bed. He ran.

Surion was laying on the floor atop his blanket he had been reaching to get since he had dropped it off hte bed, and he was bawling

Torvil moved over quickly and picked him up gently, handing him his blanket and sitting with him on the floor, looking him over for injuries.

Surion clung to the blanket and his father

Torvil sighed. "Sorry Daddy's stupid..." he murmured, looking over Surion for injuries still hoping there weren't any present.

Surion had a small bump atop his head but was otherwise ok as he clung tighter

Torvil softly caressed the bump, tapping into a power he really didn't know he had, his gem lit up very dimly as he tried to fix that wound, hoping to god he could do something, anything to help it.

Surion cried a renewed cry as the bump was touched

Torvil winced and sighed, feeling a kind of drag on him as he slowly removed his finger. "I wish I had your mother's power..." He muttered. "That bump would be gone..." He hugged Surion to his chest, and started to cry... Over how his stupidity had harmed his son.

Surion clung to his father and his cries quieted for the most part and were mainly whimpers and soft cries now

Torvil sighed heavily as he held Surion. "Daddy's sorry..."

"Dada Ow" he whimpered

Torvil sighed and brushed the back of his. "I know, I know... I wish I could help..." He closed his eyes, trying his hardest to tap into the Kerrsal healing... If he even had it...

Surion sniffled and clung quietly glad for his father's comfort

Torvil just held him, and sighed. "Your mother is going to kill me..." He muttered.

"Mama?" he sniffled "Dada Ow" he clung as tight and cuddled as close as he could

Torvil sighed and hugged him tighter. "Dada sorry he cause Owie..."

Surion nodded a hand moving along his father's shirt towards his arm pulling it closer

Torvil sighed and kissed Surion's bump.

Surion looked up at him with red stained cheeks "ungry?" he said quietly

Torvil gave him his arm. "If you are... I'm not..." He brushed his son's tears away.

Surion pulled his father's arm close, he was hungry

Torvil smiled and brushed his little head softly, letting him have free reign of his arm.

Surion lifted the arm "ungry" he said again

Torvil chuckled and lifted his arm to his mouth. "Bite down..." He bit down on his wrist, then offered it to him.

Surion pulled it to him open mouthed and latched on, he was good at fingers but not arms

Torvil chuckled and nuzzled his little head with a smile.

Surion fed for a while before letting go "Dada"

Torvil smiled. "Yes Surion?" He asked softly.

"Up?" he asked looking more calm, but the bump still existed

Torvil smiled and pulled him close, standing up. "Your mother is going to rip me a new one..." He muttered.

"New un?" Surion blinked and looked down "Bank!" he reached towards the item which caused him to fall the first time

Torvil chuckled softly and picked up the blanket, tossing it on his head.

Surion whined and pulled it off and into his arms

Torvil sighed and let him hold it. "Sorry Surion..." He kissed his son's forehead softly and headed for the living room.

Surion leaned against his father's chest "Dada ow" he said

Torvil sighed. "Sorry Surion I wish I could help..." His own head was starting to hur in sympathy.

"Dada ow?" he looked up and pointed a finger at him

Torvil shook his head. "Dada ow right here..." He said softly, touching his heart and then his head.

Surion blinked he clung to his blanket

Torvil hugged him and sighed. "Daddy sorry that Daddy stupid..."

"tupid?" Yet another word Surion did not know what meant

Torvil smiled more than happy to define. "Means daddy did something not smart... Means daddy let Surion get owie..."

Surion blinked and pointed at his dad "mart!"

Torvil shook his head. "No... Not smart... I let you get owie..."

Surion blinked trying to figure his dad out then gave up and leaned against him

Torvil sighed and held him, moving to go sit down on the couch.

"Dada sad?" one word he did know

Torvil nodded slowly. "Dada little sad..."

Surion pouted "No sad"

Torvil smiled softly. "Okay Surion, for you..."

Surion's smile returned and he bounced once on his father's lap

Torvil smiled at him and kissed his forehead. "Now what Surion?"

Surion turned on his father's lap and crawled off of it and onto the couch he faced the back and grabbed hold o hte back of hte couch to pull up and stand

Torvil chuckled. "Careful..." He warned, watching his son, and holding the blanket.

Surion looked at his dad and started to cruise along the back of the couch

Torvil chuckled and watched him happily.

Surion dropped onto his bottom at the end of the couch and looking back at his dad "dow?"

Torvil moved over and helped him down to the floor level.

Surion grinned pulling himself to stand again at the couch and standing there watching his dad

Torvil smiled and moved to the floor as well, tossing the blanket over his son's head.

Surion whined pulling it off "no no no ow" he held the blanket by it's corner

Torvil sighed. "Sorry..." He kissed the bump very softly and brushed Surion's cheek.

Surion smiled and looked around from the couch to his father to the coffee table and an armchair

Torvil chuckled. "What are you planning you little devil..."

"goig" he said holding onto the couch with one hand trying to determine in his mind what piece of furniture was closest to him

Torvil grinned and chuckled. Watching his son work

Surion decided the coffee table was closest and reached for it with his free hand slowly inching himself further away from the couch till he almost touched it

Torvil smiled and watched his son, ready to move and catch him if he tumbled.

Surion tilted his center of balance to grab hold of the table just as he let go of the couch

Torvil grinned and watched him work.

Surion grinned proudly to himself as he managed to get himself standing before the table

Torvil smiled and clapped his hands. "Good show!"

Surion giggled and turned his torso looking at his father who was now further way from him

Torvil smiled and scooted over. "Hehe, that's a boy Surion!"

Surion giggled and started cruising the perimeter of the table

Torvil smiled and watched him.

Surion got around the table and within a couple minutes repeated his actions from the couch to table but from the table to the chair

Torvil smiled and clapped his hands. "Good job!" He crawled to Surion slowly.

Surion turned around so he leaned against the armchair and clapped his hands with his dad "job!"

Torvil smiled and sat beside him again.

Surion reached for his dad

Torvil smiled and leaned a little closer to him, offering an arm as well.

"Dada" he said leaning a little forward feeling a very smidgen brave as he reached for his father's arm

Torvil smiled ready to move if he had to to prevent a spalt.

"Dada goig" he said a look of concentration on his face as he reached with both hands moving a foot just a smidgen

Torvil smiled. "I'm not moving... You just focus on trying..."

Surion shifted his weight from his bottom to his legs. Standing teetering right next to the armchair

Torvil smiled. "Come on, you can do it! You can do it!" He jittered excitedly.

"goig!" Surion said taking a small step

Torvil smiled. "Yeah that's it... keep going..."

Surion paused looking at him for a moment before taking another tipsy step

Torvil smiled. "That's it.. You've got it... Keep it up..."

"Goig" Surion reached out with grabby hands to the arm just out of reach before taking another step "Dada!"

Torvil smiled. "Yes, you are going to Dada... You can do it... Just a little farther..."

Surion's face held a look of concentration as he took another step that let him grab the hairs on his father's arm

Torvil was purring loudly. "Almost there Surion, just a little farther..."

Surion whined and let himself drop onto his bottom

Torvil smiled softly. "Good try... good try..." He scooted close and kissed his son's forehead.

"Up" he said with a pout

Torvil smiled and scooped him up.

Surion leaned against him clinging to his father's shirt

Torvil smiled and brushed the back of his head softly.

Surion cuddled close

Ala showed up a moment later near the doorway, she had used the nether on her return

Torvil looked up at her. "Hey..." He said softly, nuzzling Surion very gently.

"Hi there" she said with a smile "You two have fun?" she asked noticing Surion was awake as she pulled off her shoes

Torvil nodded. "Yeah... Surion walked a little..." He purred softly, leaving out the er... bump...

"That's my boy" Ala said walking towards them

Surion looked up at her "Mama ow"

Torvil winced. "Er yeah... that..." He muttered

Ala blinked "Ow?"

Surion reached towards his mom

Torvil stood and handed Surion off to her, not pointing out the bump, it was still very visible.

Ala took him looking at him and noticing the bump "Torvil do you care to explain?"

Torvil sighed. "I was stupid as per usual, and left him on the bed alone..." He didn't look at the two.

"Torvilllll" the tone of her voice raised slightly "You know better then that I told you it wasn't safe only a little while ago" she let her healing activate the gem glowing lightly as she held Surion

Torvil didn't look at her. "I know... I'm stupid..." He said, all effort seemingly gone in his voice.

Ala sighed "Torvil, you have to remember he's not like the others, he doesn't entirely realize that can happen"

Torvil was biting his lip so hard he was bleeding, not that Ala could see. "I know..." He said. His voice was very much upset... He was crying too. "And I'm stupid..."

"No you aren't stupid Torvil, forgetful yes, not used to little ones yes... but not stupid" the gem dimmed as the bump faded away on her son's head

Torvil sniffled. "Why do I feel like I am then..." He still didn't look at her,

"Why do you feel like anything, if you do something wrong you always feel like this, you feel stupid, or unworthy, or down right depressed, I don't know why you feel the way you do.." she sighed

Torvil turned to her. "Sorry... I'm bringing you down with me and I shouldn't do that.." there was red on his cheeks and chin.

Ala sighed softly and moved towards him an arm out to pull him close as her other arm held Surion who clung to her

Torvil hugged them both and sighed. "Well it's over, and Surion's okay, so we can just move on..." he said softly.

"Aye, and simply be careful in the future" she said holding him close

Torvil nodded and hugged them tight. "Gods I love you guys..."

Ala purred softly "Love you too" she glanced over at Surion who lay on her shoulder sucking his thumb

Torvil smiled and kissed her cheek, than Surion's, leaving two little red dots.

Ala smiled softly "Grab Surion's blanket I think it's time for bed... in his crib" she said and started to hum a soft lullaby and pulled away from Torvil to head for Surion's room

Torvil purred and fetched it, following after her.

By the time Ala reached Surion's room and was going to put him in his crib he was reaching for his blanket

Torvil smiled and handed it too him. "Good night sweet prince, may your dreams be splendid..."

Ala purred and set him down with his blanket and he rolled pulling the blanket partially over his body. Ala turned and shooed Torvil towards the door

Torvil smiled and walked out slowly.

Ala closed the door mostly behind them "So tell me more about the evening

Torvil smiled a little. "He walked... just a little... He cruised a lot... Ate..." he showed the quickly fading punctures on his wrist.

Ala chuckled "tell me more about the walking" she said looping her arm around his waist

Torvil purred and pulled her closer. "He did rather well for his first try. He was trying to get from the armchair to me... Almost made it... Little wobbly steps..." He grinned.

Ala grinned "Our son is growing up"

Torvil nodded. "Yep..." He said softly with a very large smile.

Torvil's Journal

Dear Journal,

I'm not a good father... Obviously I'm extremly stupid and it shows... I left Surion on the bed and he fell off and got hurt... I'm sure Ala is more than mad at me, and she has all right to be... God I'm soooo stupid... Oh well, what can one expect from me. I am after all an idiot who can't seem to do anything right... Perhaps dad was right before he changed, perhaps I am a worthless addled mistake. I guess it's just not safe to have my son stay with me alone, cause I'm so freaking stupid. I don't know how Ala puts up with me... She'd probably be happier with another male, I bet she would, one who's smarter, more caring. One that would make her happy everyday instead of making her angry and upset. *tears blur a small portion* but then perhaps she'd feel worse... so I won't. I really don't know what to do anymore journal.... I'm trying to do my best and I just keep failing... Gods... I'm such a screw up... I don't know how Ala fell in love with me in the first place... Or how she can trust me at all anymore... Or even have an ounce of faith in me... I don't know what to do anymore... I think... Tomorrow... I'm just going to lie in bed.... Not move... Why should I get up? I just make things worse...

Look I've Figured Out Walking!

Surion stood at the side of his crib looking out into his room, there were toys there, he wanted those toys... now it was a question of how to get from where he was to those toys...

Torvil yawned and entered his son's room. "Hey little man..." He chuckled softly. "What mischief are you up to today?"

"Toy!" he said pointing over the top of the railing

Torvil chuckled and took him out of the crib, putting him on the floor.

Surion grinned "Toys!" he repeated and moved to stand using his dad's pant legs to pull himself upright

Torvil grinned. "Man you're gonna be walking soooo soon!" He chuckled and walked very slowly.

"Walk walk walk" he said turning and letting go and simply standing there, his little mind was trying to figure out could he make it where he wanted to in this stance

Torvil stared. "Oh my... You're standing!" He clapped his hands and had to fight the urge to jump and down for joy.

Surion looked up at him wondering if his father had a screw loose, course he was standing so was his dad

Torvil chuckled at his son's face. "My... You think daddies crazy don't you..." He laughed.

"Crazy Daddy" he said and giggled before looking back towards the toys

Torvil chuckled. "You wouldn't be far off on that..." His grin was manic for a moment before he clamed himself down. "You wanna try walking?"

"Toys!" he pointed again clapping his hands together and bouncing in place

Torvil chuckled and motioned for him to move on.

Surion turned facing the toys. He knew he had new skills, even if his father didn't and he was enjoying them. after a few minutes he took a couple steps and stopped

Torvil stared. "oh my... You can walk!" He actually did jump for joy and clap his hands. Yeah... he was feeling manic

Surion looked up at him "Daddy crazy Daddy" he said making a silly face before turning for a couple more steps, he hadn't gotten good enough to make too many at once without doing a bum-drop

Torvil grinned and dropped to all fours, making soft playful growling noises at his son. His wings unfurled.

Surion looked at him and squealed dropping to his hands and knees where he was fastest and taking off towards the toys

Torvil growled and gave chase, moving slower than he could usually crawl with a happy grin. "Daddy's gonna get you!"

"Nonononono!" Surion replied making a dive right into the mound of stuffed dragons that had been piled up

Torvil looked around and tried to find Surion, who was now quite buried. "Hmmm... Now wherever could he be?"

Surion giggled he had squirmed his way right to the bottom of the pile

Torvil started to unbury his son. "Okay you... Where did ya go..." He chuckled happily as he worked to unbury his child

"No here!" Surion's giggling voice came mainly muffled by the toys

Torvil chuckled softly. "Sure, and the moon is made of cheese..." He chuckled.

"Noooooo moon made rock, I not here" he said pulling more dragons on himself

Torvil grinned. "My, somebody is awfully smart..." he kept pulling away dragons with a grin.

"Smart smart" he squirmed his way out the back and side of the pile which was piled against the side of the toy box and behind the toy box

Torvil got to the bottom of the pile and started sniffling about, moving around and hunting by scent now.

Surion wiggled his way out of the far side of the toy box near the door and looked back at his father who was down the other side of it , since he couldn't be seen he made a bee-line out the door

Torvil sniffed and went up and over the toy box, spotting him making his run for it. He crawled after him quickly.

Surion moved quickly his tail swaying back and forth as he moved he knew he was being followed he could smell that fact

Torvil grinned and followed him, his own tail wagging crazily about behind him, he almost knocked over a toy with it.

"No catch!" Surion cried out going into the living room and heading for the couch

Torvil chuckled. "I'm gonna catch you!" He grinned, moving a bit faster now, intent on catching him but giving him a fair chance.

Surion reached and squirmed under the couch, he was starting to get too big to do that but he tried anyways

Torvil chuckled and reached under, nabbing his leg softly and starting to tug.

"Nonono! MAMA!!!" he called out trying to get his leg back

Torvil chuckled softly and then let him go. "Mama's busy lil dude..." He chuckled. "Just daddy right now..."

"Mama busy?" he asked looking out from where he was at his father

Torvil nodded. "Yep... Mama's doing something for daddy right now so she's very busy..."

"Otay" he said watching his father with his blue eyes "No get"

Torvil chuckled softly. "Fine no get... but how about a hug?" He said sitting up.

"Otaay" he said and wiggled out of the couch's underside and used the side of the couch to pull himself upright before turning and letting go holding his arms out to his dad

Torvil smiled and leaned forward pulling his son into hug happily. "Mmmm I love you so very much Surion..."

"Love daddy too" he said cuddling against his father happily

Torvil smiled. "mmm... Does Surion want some lunch?" He chuckled a little. "Cause daddy's a lil hungry."

Surion nodded "Hungry" he agreed "yup hungry"

Torvil nodded and got up carrying Surion with him to the kitchen.

Surion's tail moved lazily below him as his father carried him "What eat?" he asked

Torvil chuckled. "What Surion want eat? Meat, veggies, cereal, blood?" He went down the list as he put Surion down in a chair.

Surion watched his father and thought he wasn't sure what what he wanted was called

Torvil chuckled and got examples of each. "These or something else?"

Surion pointed at the meat, he liked the taste of it when his parents gave it to him

Torvil smiled and put the rest away, starting to sear the meat a little.

Surion watched his father work climbing down backwards from the chair his father placed him on and slowly a couple steps at a time started in his father's direction

Torvil smiled and looked over his shoulder. "Hey..." He flipped the meat. "Careful, hot..."

"Ow?" he asked stopping exactly where he was in the middle of the room

Torvil nodded. "Yeah, it can... OW!" He swore and smacked his now flaming hand on the counter to put it out.

Surion's eyes went wide and his lower lip trembled standing there watching what happened his hands clasped together

Torvil shook it when he was done. "Bah.. I'll fix that wire in a minute..." He grumbled before turning off the stove and heading with the half cooked meat to the table, smiling at Surion. "Daddy's okay... It just stung a bit..."

Surion watched him move only his head turning to watch his father walk, that lip still trembling

Torvil moved over to him once he put the meat down, moving to pick him up, the hand that had been on fire was perfectly fine.

Surion looked up at him as he was picked up "Daddy ow" he whimpered

Torvil smiled. "Daddy's fine see..." he put the back of his pre injured hand to Surion's cheek. "Daddy no ow... Just stung a lil..."

"Otay" he sniffled turning his head to look at his dad's hand

Torvil smiled and showed it off. It was like it always was, unburned and not even warm to the touch. "see?"

"Otay" he turned back to his father "Hungry"

Torvil smiled and carried him over to the table, setting him down in his lap as he pulled the meat towards them.

Surion smiled and reached towards the meat, he was hungry and that meat smelled good

Torvil smiled and tore off a little for him, and then handed it to him. "So how was it with Torvin and the others?"

Surion blinked putting the meat in his mouth, he looked at his father unsure exactly what he meant, sure he might be getting a vocabulary, that didn't mean he understood everything asked

Torvil chuckled softly. "Torvin, the man who was here before, played with you with Xix and Korvil and the other kids..." He smiled going slow. "Did you have fun?"

"Fun!" he grinned knowing that word

Torvil chuckled and nuzzled his son's head as he ate, feeling the hair that was growing in there. "Hey..."

Surion looked up at his father "Hey?"

Torvil chuckled. "You're getting hair..." he chuckled nuzzling the fuzz.

"Hair" Surion blinked and reached taking hold of a lock of his father's white hair "Hair!"

Torvil chuckled. "Yeah... but it looks more like what your mommies hair used to look like..." He chuckled softly, nuzzling his son's head.

"Mama hair?" he blinked curiously

Torvil chuckled and nuzzled him, before reaching in his pocket and pulling out one of the old pictures Ala had had. "That's what mommy's hair used to look like..."

Surion looked at the picture "Mama!" he grinned trying to take the picture from this father

Torvil chuckled and let him take it. "Yeah... Mama..." he grinned.

"Want Mama" Surion said holding the picture and looking at it

Torvil sighed. "Well Mama is busy... But you can have the picture if you want..." He said softly.

Surion nodded slowly not quite understanding why he couldn't see her but least he could see her picture

Torvil smiled and kissed the top of Surion's head. "Mommy was pretty when she was younger wasn't she?"

"Pretty mama" he purred softly and put the picture in his lap "hungry"

Torvil smiled and put more meat in his hand.

Surion smiled and ate the meat he was given his eyes still on the picture of his mama

Torvil smiled and kept feeding him, looking over his head with a smile.

Surion ate till he didn't want anymore then pushed his father's hand away

Torvil smiled and brushed his hair, finishing up what was left happily,

Surion squirmed to get out of his dad's lap

Torvil smiled and slowly let Surion down on the floor, and brushed his head, pulling out something to work on.

Surion stood by his father for a moment before starting to slowly walk towards the doorway picture still in his hands

Torvil smiled and watched him out of the corner of his eye, but he had work to do, and soon was very engrossed in it.

Surion disappeared into the hall and out of the kitchen with a parting glance to see if his father was watching him

Torvil wasn't he was too busy with his work to really notice Surion was there... He was listening tho.

Surion got to his parents door and was trying to reach up to its handle with a hand

Torvil didn't hear him do this, and kept working, he had locked the door on his way out.

Surion couldn't turn the handle "Mama!" He called out his hand on the un-turning knob

Torvil got up and moved over to Surion. "Hey you..." he chuckled softly. "I told you, Mama's busy...." He doubted Ala could hear Surion over what she was doing.

Surion looked up at him still holding the knob "Mama" he whimpered

Torvil sighed. "Mama will see you in awhile okay?" He said softly to Surion.

Surion let go and dropped onto his bottom holding the picture in both hands a quivering pout on his lips

Torvil bit his lip. "Awww... Lil Sur..." He sighed. "Mamma is very very busy..."

Surion looked down at the picture "Mama" he whimpered his father had started something by mentioning his mama, he hadn't even really thought about her presence till he had

Torvil sighed and picked him up. "Oh Sur..." He hugged his son.

Surion leaned against his father the picture between him and his father

Torvil sighed and brushed his hair. "Oh Sur... Mommy will see you morrow I promise..."

Surion didn't reply just remained leaning against his father staring at the door

Torvil sighed and utilized what he remembered a book had said. He yoinked the picture quickly replacing it with another. "What's that?" He asked, heading for the door. The picture was of a dragon.

Surion looked at picture "dragon" he said then pushed it away looking for the picture that had just been taken away from him

Torvil shook his head. "What kinda dragon is it..." He asked his son, heading back for Surion's room, the picture his son sought was in his back pocket.

Surion ignored the question and was leaning sideways in his father's grip "Mama...." he whined

Torvil sighed. "Surion..." he finally whimpered and handed him the mama picture, feeling rather distraught he'd cause his son so much issue.

"Mama" he repeated more calmly when he had the picture back and leaned against his father

Torvil hugged his son and brushed his fuzzy head, finally collapsing in the dragon pile.

Surion cuddled against his father

Torvil closed his eyes, humming a little. One arm wrapped around his son, the other brushing his head softly.

"Blankie" he said reaching for the pile of blanket but still leaning against his father

Torvil chuckled. "mmm... Yeah... nap sounds like a good idea..." He got up and got Surion's blanket then lay back down' putting it over the two of them.

Surion pulled his blanket close and stuffed that thumb in his mouth his other hand clung to the picture as he lay on his father's chest

Torvil brushed his son's head and went back to humming, closing his eyes so that he could rest once he felt Surion sleep.

Surion dozed quickly

Torvil too soon fell into a sleep, and was that way for about an hour.

Surion rolled sliding off his father in his sleep

Torvil stirred a little when he felt Surion roll, so he too rolled, pulling his son close again.

The roll didn't wake Surion he was a fairly heavy sleeper

Torvil purred and dozed lightly, more awake now.

Surion woke a while later and tipped his head back looking up at his father

Torvil opened a sleepy eye. "Hey dude..." He chuckled. "What's up?"

Surion looked at him "What up" he said in reply still clinging to blanket and picture

Torvil chuckled. "Well for me the ceiling..." He chuckled.

Surion blinked "otay" he replied pulling away to sit up

Torvil chuckled and let him go, sitting up as well.

Surion yawned lightly then used the nearest thing to pull to stand

Torvil smiled and watched him. "So now what bud?" He chuckled

Surion looked around with a wrinkly nose "Ucky" he said

Torvil carried him to the changing table and got to work. "Real potty soon I think..."

"Potty?" Surion asked letting his blanket drop as he was carried

Torvil smiled. "Yeah... Where mommy and daddy go and to that..."

Surion nodded slowly "otay" he said

Torvil smiled. "Good, we'll get started soon..." He changed his diaper and put it away in the trash.

Surion lay looking at the picture in his hands while his father did what was needed

Torvil smiled and picked him up when they were done

"Mama?" Surion asked holding the picture up to his father

Torvil smiled and took it. "Yeah, that's mama..."

"Noooo" Surion reached for the picture again

Torvil chuckled and gave it back to him. "I'm gonna want that back later..."

Surion took it holding to him "Mama" he said simply, if he couldn't have his mama he wanted that picture

Torvil smiled. "Okay, you can have the picture until mama gets done okay?"

"Mama" he nodded to his father "What dada do?" he asked wondering what they'd do next

Torvil tapped his chin. "Hmmmm..." he muttered. "Lesse... What to do what to do..."

"What do what do" Surion repeated reaching up with a hand and tapping his father's chin too

Torvil chuckled. "Want to go read a story or play outside?" He smirked.

"Play" he replied to his father

Torvil smiled and headed for the front door.

"Blankie!" Surion said wanting it to come with them

Torvil chuckled and scooped it up as he passed it. He handed it to Surion and smiled.

Surion pulled it close holding it and the photo as they went outside

Torvil smiled and walked around in the grass for a bit before sitting down. "So what to play..."

"Play" Surion said with a nod looking around the grounds for something to do

Torvil smiled and put him down, laying back and looking up at the blue sky, watching the clouds.

Surion got himself standing holding the blanket in one hand the picture in the other and wandered slowly across the grass

Torvil smiled and watched him. "Don't stray to far Sur..." He smiled, looking back up at the clouds.

Surion toddled along stopping now and then to reach down and take hold of a dandelion and pull it up, he held the photo and the corner of his blanket in one hand the other was the hand he used to pick the yellow topped blossoms

Torvil turned his gaze and his body to follow Surion's movements with a smile. "I must be the luckiest man alive..."

It was flowers that caught his eyes, didn't matter if they were in the grass or on planted flowers he was pulling them up many still had bits of roots at the end of the stem

Torvil chuckled and knew he'd have to re-landscape, but that could wait... Geomancy was a wonderful thing.

Surion toddled along the edge of the forest where he spied more flowers each time he pulled one he said one word "Mama"

Torvil got up. "Surion please come back this way..." He waved him away from the forest... There were animals in there that would see him as a snack...

Surion stopped and looked at his father "prtty" he said pointing to a single black flower several meters away amongst some red roses

Torvil got up and bolted to him, holding his breath and picking him up in his arms. He growled and walked away. "Danger! OW!" He said suddenly very softly in his ear. "That flower bad..."

Surion looked at his father a look of surprise on his face "Ow pretty flower bad?" he tried to look over his father's shoulder

Torvil turned him and pointed at the black flower. "Black pretty flower like that bad... ow... danger... do not get close or touch..." He bit his hip and hugged Surion tight, heading for the house.

"Otay no ow" he said still holding the flowers and dandelions he had been picking

Torvil smiled. "These are fine, and the red kind are okay too... but black bad..."

Surion nodded slowly leaning against his father biting his lip

Torvil looked down at him. "You okay?" He asked softly.

Surion lifted his head and looked up at him "otay?"

Torvil smiled and kissed his head. "Daddies got to take care of something.." he put him down by the door. "Stay and I'll be right back..."

Surion blinked and toddled into the house and down the hall stopping by the door of his parent's room and put the handful of flowers on the floor "Mama" he said turning and looking towards the front door

Torvil came back after he had roasted the plant to ashes, even the roots. He'd made sure he'd gotten everything, down to the last spec of seed.

"Dada" Surion said seeing his father he was still standing in the hall near the flowers

Torvil smiled. "Flowers for mama?" He chuckled, walking over.

"Mama" he said with a nod "Mama" he pointed to the door "Mama" he pointed to the flowers

Torvil smiled and chuckled softly. "That's nice... I'll make sure she gets them..." He picked him up and the flowers too, heading for a vase.

"Mama!" he cried watching his father pick up the flowers

Torvil smiled. "You want them to live right?" He put them in a vase, he put water in it, and then walked back to the door.

"Mama" he said again not sure what his father was doing

Torvil smiled and put the vase on the stand by the door, not wanting to risk Surion sneaking into the room where Ala was.

Surion watched in silence then looked at his father

Torvil smiled, putting Surion down and kissing his head. "Now what?"

Surion toddled off towards his room dragging his blanket along with him

Torvil smiled and followed him slowly. "Where we goin?"

"Play" he said not stopping his toddling along

Torvil smiled and followed him. "Play what?" He chuckled softly.

"Toy" he said entering his room the blanket dragging around the doorframe

Torvil chuckled and made sure it didn't catch with his foot before following quickly behind him happily.

Surion let go of the blanket a couple feet past the clearance of the door toddling over to the box and with one hand starting to empty it

Torvil chuckled and picked up the blanket, folding it in his hands and tossing it in the crib as he moved to sit with Surion/

Surion continued pulling every single toy out of the toy box

Torvil chuckled. "I hope you're prepared to help me put all of those back in when we're done playing..."

Surion looked hack at him pausing a toy wooden sword in his hand before going back to what he was doing the sword joining everything else on teh floor as he went after more toys

Torvil chuckled. "I'm not joking Surion, we're going to put these all up when we're done..."

Surion grabbed a doll from the mostly empty toy box lifting it up and looking towards his father "Vvveeee" he said holding it out

Torvil chuckled. "Yeah... That's Vina alright..." he chuckled. "Did you find the other?" He grinned.

Surion dropped the doll and after a few more toys there was a second he found "Ssshha" he said holding it out

Torvil grinned. "Yep, your great grandma many times over Visha..." He smiled.

"Shhhaaaa" he dropped the doll with the others and went back to emptying the toy box

Torvil shook his head. "Oi what a mess we're going to have to clean up Surion..."

A short while later the box was empty and he was trying to climb over it's edge

Torvil chuckled and shook his head. "Oh, so you want to play in the box eh?" He chuckled.

Surion went into the box with a THUD and a small cry he wasn't used to climbing yet, most of his practice was chairs why did this have to be harder he wondered

Torvil rushed over. "Hey, you okay?" He asked looking into the toy box a bit worried.

"Ow" he said looking up from where he lay in the bottom of the empty wooden box red tears on his cheeks

"oooo Sur..." He leaned down and kissed his son's head. "Well you have to be careful when you climb..." He said softly.

Surion blinked "areful" he repeated "ow" he didn't move he just lay in the box the semi-wrinkled photo in his hand

Torvil smiled and brushed his head. "Now why did you want to be in the box?

"Play" he said "Sur toy" he said rolling to push to sit

Torvil chuckled and smiled. "You're pretending you're a toy?" He chuckled again.

"Ow toy" he said rubbing his head with his little hand

Torvil smiled and kissed his head again. "Yeah, you gotta be careful in that box, it's really not all that soft.

Surion nodded and looked up at his father

Torvil smiled and brushed his head. "Now what lil Surion?" He asked softly.

"Play" he said simply he wanted to play if his father joined was his choice but he wanted to play

Torvil smiled. "Okay, what play?" he smiled, chuckling a little, having fun.

Surion looked up at him with a look that could easily be read as 'I dunno you figure it out'

Torvil chuckled and nuzzled him. "hhhmmm well you're in a box.... What are you?"

"Sur toy" he said patting the box with his hand

Torvil chuckled and took him out of the box. "Mmmm it's a surplane!" He chuckled laying back and holding Surion above him.

Surion giggled and raspberried the air making sounds like a plane

Torvil chuckled happily and flew him around for a bit before saying. "Oooo no.... the surplanes' gonna crash!"

Surion kept making the sounds as his father made him 'fly'

Torvil angled and softly landed him in the soft dragons.

Surion squealed and started swinging his arms causing the dragons to go flying in every direction, Surion's room was now officially a disaster

Torvil chuckled and smirked. "Okay... Lets clean a little bit more of this up before it gets worse..."

Surion looked at him tipping his head to one side before pulling himself upright again

Torvil chuckled and picked up a toy, putting back in the box. "Like this..."

Surion toddled over tot he box and looked into it watching his father toss items in

Torvil chuckled. "Well get ye about picking up..." He grinned.

Surion reached into the box ad pulled the few toys his father had tossed into the box and pulled then back out

Torvil shook his head. "Noooo... You but things in not out when you clean..." he chuckled, tossing them back in.

Surion pulled them out just as fast as his father put them in

Torvil laughed and kept at it, making it into sort of a game, who could beat who.

Surion pulled out the toys as they went in almost keeping up

Torvil chuckled and picked up the pace a little more, grinning the whole while.

Surion kept shaking his head and pulling toys back out of the toy box

Torvil chuckled and finally quit, the room in a slightly better semblance of order now.

Surion pulled out a few more before stopping and looking at his father

Torvil chuckled, sitting on the floor with a smile. "Well that was fun..."

Surion dropped onto his bottom beside the box letting out a yawn

Torvil chuckled. "Nap?" He grinned a little.

"No no no nap" Surion said shaking his head

Torvil chuckled. "Okay, then what do you want to do..." He started humming a little.

Surion reached for the Visha doll he had pulled back out "Ssshha" he said

Torvil smiled. "Yes... She's very special... She's a goddess and your great grandmother many many times..." He chuckled. "We're barely related..."

"Sssshhhaa" he held the doll up

Torvil smiled and walked over. "Yeah..." He smiled. "What about her?" He chuckled. A hazy sort of image appeared behind him and waved at Surion with a smile.

"Sshhaa!" Surion grinned happily waving the hand that held the doll

Visha smirked at him and snuck up on Torvil making shhing motions to Surion. "Yeah Surion... It's Visha..." He chuckled a bit.

"Sssshhhaaaa" Surion put the hand holding the doll down though not letting go as he grinned looking in the direction she was

Visha grabbed Torvil's hair and gave it a tug, then winked out.

Torvil winced. "OW! What the..." He looked around.

Surion giggled rocking as he giggled

Torvil got up to look around. The Visha doll started to dance about Surion, doing little spins and such.

Surion giggled happily his eyes went from the doll to his dad and back to the doll

Torvil saw the doll and grumbled. "Very funny... You're breaking the rules you know..." Visha showed up and stuck her tongue out at him. "Oh you're no fun..."

Surion looked up at her and pointed "Ssshhhaa!"

Visha smiled. "Yep... but not here long... just checking in on my favorite little ragamuffin..." Torvil chuckled. "Well he's right there..."

Surion pulled to stand grinning at her his tail swinging happily "Ssshhhaa"

Visha smiled and knelt down next to him, patting his cheek with a ghostly hand. "awww... aren't you just the cutest..."

Surion giggled happily he turned and looked till he saw blanket "Ssshhha" he said pointing to it

Visha smiled and opened her hand, it floated to her. "Some of my best work..." She smiled and draped it over his head, then kissed it.

Surion lifted it's edge "Peek" he said looking out from under it

Visha giggled. "So cute..." She kissed his little nose and there was the sound of chimes. She pouted. "Oh..." She muttered. "My absence has been discovered... Well bye my little one..." She patted Surion's cheek and vanished.

Surion pouted and dropped unto his bottom "Ssshhaaa" he whimpered

Torvil came and sat next to him. "It's okay lil dude... She has rules she has to follow just like us.

Surion looked at his father and tipped over blanket still over his head picture in the other and lay his head on his father's leg

Torvil smiled and stroked his head softly through the blanket.

Surion lay quietly moving a little under the blanket as his father stroked his head

Torvil hummed softly. "She'll be back in a little bit I promise..." He whispered.

Surion nodded laying exactly where he was

There was another chime and Visha returned. "Sorry... Father yapping my ear off again..."

Surion pushed at the blanket looking around with sleepy yet awake eyes

Visha smiled. "Aww... My lil darlin's sleepy..." She grinned at him. "He probably doesn't want to cuddle with great grandma does he?"

"Sshhaaa" Surion replied pointing at her

Visha smiled. "Yeah..." She sat, her form a little more solid. "Do you want to give me a hug?"

Surion sat up and pulling his blanket along with him crawled towards her

Visha smiled and her form solidified completely. "Yay!" Torvil chuckled.

Surion smiled and crawled into her lap half dragging the blanket with him and not letting go of the picture

Visha smiled and gave him a little hug. "You miss your mama don't ya?"

"Mama" he repeated with a whimper and cuddled against her

Visha brushed his head. "It's okay darlin, you'll see her soon..." She smiled at Vil.

Surion stuffed his thumb in his mouth the rest of that hand holding the blanket

Visha started to hum a soft lullaby, only, a human though could not make the noises she did.

Surion soon started to doze off in her arms

Visha smiled and softly brushed his hair. "I wish I could have another..." She sighed.

Surion fell completely asleep

Visha smiled and handed him off to Torvil. "I've really got to go... I'm in trouble as it is already..." She sighed and shook her head. "Dad can be such a pain..." She blinked out leaving Torvil with Surion.

Surion didn't stir as he was handed off

Torvil smiled and stood, moving to put him up in his crib. He had to do some things and then he was done for the day.

Torvil's Journal

Dear Journal,

Today was nice... Visha's a brat... Ooh well, I guess I'll live with that. Surion missed Ala today, and nearly ran into some bane... I really have to vaporize those damn plants... take out the forest... Bah... Oh well... Surion's okay, so all is well... Wait... OH YEAH! Surion can walk! The boy can walk! I'm going to have to majorly overhaul some of the stuff to keep him safe now...

A New Toy

Ala pushed a large box into Surion's room, it was one that had remained closed and in storage for a while, whlie it was that way it also was brand new. Ala decided it was time to bring it out.

"Mama!" Surion gleefully called out from where he stood in his crib

"Hey sweety, Mama has a new toy for you" she said using a nail to open the box.

Surion tilted his head trying to look into the box his mother was opening curious as to exactly what it was

Ala looked up at her son with a smile "I think you will like this toy" she said then focused on pulling all the parts from the box. Once it was out she perused the instructions and a whie later with Surion watching she had it put together.

"Mama down" Surion said with a huge grin spread across his face

Ala chuckled "Ok you can come and play now" she said and walked over lifting her son from his crib and carrying him back to the toy. The toy wasn't any ordinary toy, it was a ridem toy, and for fin sakes the ridem toy had been purchsed from a dragon themed toy store, so the ridem toy was a green dragon.

Surion grinned happily "Mine mine mine" he said with a mischevious atittude that said he was ready to run rampant and reak havoc.

Ala laughed "Yes son it is yours, you have to be careful on it though if you fall it's ow" she sat a couple feet away watching him after she placed him on the dragon's seat

"Otay Mama" Surion replied rocking his body back and forth trying to get the dragon to move how he wanted. he gripped the handles tightly he did not like 'ow'

Ala smiled watching her son, she'd have to be sure to tell his father how much her son was enjoying the toy he had picked out....
