Changes at the Temple

Torvil yawned and stretched, slowly rolling off the pallet to go start breakfast.

Ala dozed lightly having been up and down many times though the night to feed her son

Torvil cooked breakfast, letting Ala rest for now. She needed her sleep, and he wished that he could feed their son so she could sleep, but right now that wasn't do able.

Surion babbled happily gumming his dragon in the playpen kicking his little feet just as happily

Torvil smiled and moved over, bending down and picking up Surion.

Surion kept babbling happily looking up at his father as he gummed the toy

Torvil smiled and rocked Surion as he headed back to the kitchen to finish up breakfast one armed.

He reached up with a free hand and batted at his chin

Torvil chuckled, and flipped the meat again, going for a little more cooked today than usual. "Morning Lil Surion..." He hadn't noticed he was starting to scruff.

"Nyanyanyana" he was enjoying the feeling of his father's chin and kept batting at it

Torvil chuckled and smiled at Surion, finally finishing up the meat and slapping them on plates. "So how are you Surion?"

Surion blew bubbles around the tail of his toy and latched his hand onto a lock of his father's white hair

Torvil winced but chuckled. "You've got a strong grip..." He smiled, and moved the meat to the table and sat down. "Should we let mommy sleep a little more or wake her up?"

Surion just playfully moved his arm around at the length of the hair before pulling it to his mouth with the toy

Torvil chuckled and smiled, leaning his head a little so Surion could have more give on the hair.

Surion gummed on his father's hair along with the dragon

Torvil purred, slowly eating with one hand, letting Ala sleep for the time being, he could always heat up her food.

Ala yawned and opened her eyes sitting up and stretching

Torvil smiled finishing his up and standing up with Surion to go put his dishes away.

Ala wandered into the kitchen area "Mornin"

Torvil smiled. "Mornin', breakfast is on the table. It might be a bit cool, I'll heat it if you want." He shifted Surion in his arm.

"Thanks love" she said with a smile seeing him holding his son

Torvil smiled and scratched at his face for a moment before shift Surion a little again. "No prob."

Surion finally let go of the hair swinging his arms around causing the dragon to go flying too

Torvil chuckled and moved to go get the dragon that had flew off, still holding Surion.

Ala chuckled "Looks like you are having fun love"

Torvil smiled. "Yeah..." He knelt and picked up the dragon.

Surion babbled happily for a moment before stopping and scrunching up his little nose

Torvil chuckled and stood back up, then moved to go change Surion.

Ala finished her food and followed after him "How long you two been up" she asked softly

Torvil chuckled. "Long enough to cook breakfast..."

Ala smiled and leaned over him from behind and placed a kiss on his cheek

Torvil purred and got to changing Surion's bottom.

"You make a wonderful father love" she purred

Torvil smiled. "Thanks..." he finished up with Surion and picked him up again

"When is the hunters due back?" she asked looking up at him after he stood

Torvil chuckled. "A few more days..." He sighed. "Joman's going to be very tired when he gets back..."

Ala frowned "Well that sucks... how long are we staying this time?"

"Till they get back... No more than a week though..." He chuckled softly.

Ala smiled "Good I'd hate for your father to miss out on meeting his grandson"

Torvil nodded. "I think they won't be too much longer."

Ala smiled "So what shall we do today my love"

Torvil chuckled. "Whatever you want..." He shifted Surion again to both arms.

Ala chuckled "I don't know what I want to do, besides seeing how the services have changed I suppose..."

Torvil chuckled and nodded. "Shall we have a look?"

"We shall" she turned to look out of the cave unsure even what time it was

"The sun was rising when I got up..."

Ala nodded "sooo that would mean still early? or too late for service...."

"We're early, unless they changed the times..."

Ala nodded "Well I'm gonna get changed then we can get our day started" she said heading for where her clothing was stored

Torvil nodded and went about taking care of Surion for the time being

Ala hummed and changed then came back carrying the Maya wrap "He hungry yet love?"

Torvil did a root check, brushing his fingers against his son's cheek

Surion immediately went after the fingers touching his cheek

Torvil nodded. "Yeah, voraciously so it looks like."

Ala chuckled "Do we have time to feed here or do we need to feed and walk" she asked

Torvil chuckled. "Probably feed and walk..." The bell sounded.

Ala nodded and pulled the wrap over her head and took Surion from his father "Grab his blanket love" she said as she set Surion to feed

Torvil nodded and moved to get it. He grabbed it and purred.

Ala headed out of the cave humming a soft Dragonic lullaby

Torvil smiled and followed her, draping Surion's blanket over her shoulders.

"Thanks love" she said "Much as I know the cliffs need that meat I'm glad you are back"

Torvil chuckled. "The others will pick up my slack..." He nuzzled her cheek.

Ala chuckled and turned her head kissing him softly as they walked

Torvil purred and pulled away slowly. "So, what else did I miss while I was gone?

"Not much really, the new blankets, the temple stuff, Dia showing up... that's about it.." she said

Torvil nodded and smiled, walking towards the temple and noting the strangely soothing aura of it.

"Feels different" she mused

Torvil nodded and gasped when he entered it. The alter was gone, and the statue was all that remained, the pews too were gone, and all the people were just kinda, mulling about, talking.

"Woah.... quite the change" she said after looking around

Torvil nodded and looked around. "Odd..."

"But what Visah wanted." Said a young voice.

Ala nodded "I remember" she said sitting Surion up in the carrier when he was finished and giving him his blanket

Torvil smiled. "I see they moved a priest up."

"Yes they did... One that will actually listen to the dreams..." He chuckled.

Ala chuckled "I just listen to the voice" she was still looking around but was smiling her tail moving lazily around her legs

Torvil chuckled. "That's true..."

The priest chuckled. "We are not as lucky as you..."

Ala chuckled "I think we are all lucky to have her no matter what form we hear her in"

The priest nodded. "Aye... That we are..."

Torvil grinned and scooted closer to Ala.

Ala chuckled and wrapped her arm around his waist from the side

Surion babbled happily where he sat gumming his blanket

Torvil grinned and brushed his son's face as the pries bowed and left.

"Big changes come here, and honestly I'm glad" she mused

Torvil chuckled. "Yeah... Good changes... I've yet to see a bad one since I've returned..."

Ala chuckled "Very true... maybe that's what Visha meant..." she said quietly

Torvil cocked a brow. "I still don't get why you called me Messiah... Even with the memory..."

"She said her chosen was the father of this child" she pointed to Surion "I only know one man who I've even slept with let alone had as the father of this child"

Torvil nodded slowly. "Well then..." Suddenly it dawned on him. "Wait..." He blinked. "You mean I was..." He looked around.

"That's what she said......" Ala said with a nod

Torvil chuckled.

"Surprised you are just getting it.... but then I'm half surprised no one has said anything... ok only partially after Visha's appearance" she smiled

Torvil grinned. "My mind's been elsewhere..." He brushed Surion's head.

"Care to hold your son?" she said giggling knowing he probably would want to

Torvil nodded slowly. "If I can..." he murmured.

"Course you can" she said with a chuckle lifting her son from the carrier and handing him and the blanket to Torvil

Torvil purred and took his son, rocking him gently back and forth while humming.

Ala smiled and shifted the carrier on her hip and decided to mingle as well

Torvil smiled as she went about her mingling, holding Surion.

Some of the mothers from the other day were there chatting.

Ala wandered towards the mothers she recognized as ones she had spoken to "Morning" she greeted them

"Morning! Good to see you again! How are you doing. Are the men home? I see your hubby is..."

Ala shook her head "No only mine is, they asked him to come home"

The others giggled. "What he do, let all the animals go?" said the one that she was talking with.

"No caught more then all of them... " Ala chuckled softly

A few whistled and looked at him like one would a large steak. "Nice..."

Ala laugh softly seeing the gazes the woman used

The one smiled. "You are a very lucky woman..."

"I like to agree, he's put up with a lot from me, especially when I was pregnant" she mused

They chuckled. "Aren't they supposed to?" A few grinned, and the one continued. "What I meant was, even though he's short he's still very attractive..."

Ala laughed "I'm not all that tall either, compared to you ladies"

A few smirked. "Yeah... But I guess that works out well doesn't it?"

Ala laughed "Yes it does, least for me"

They chuckled and winked at her. "Well we're quite happy with our mates... Yours is a tad short for our tastes..."

"To each their own" she said with a laugh

They all nodded. "Aye..."

Ala smiled "much different now in here" she mused looking around

They nodded. "The boys did it when the new priest asked them too... They did a good job..."

"I agree, hopefully now everything will be better then it had been" she said "I hated hearing my daughter slammed like that"

"We all did... But who's to argue with a priest?" They said softly. "The threat of being ousted form the church is a fear he used often..."

"I would have if I heard it again" she said with a sigh "Probably would have if Visha hadn't stepped in, My son is no messiah"

They smiled softly. "But according to Visha that very hunky male over there is..." They chuckled softly

Ala laughed "Or was. She said the chosen came and went. In other words, what job Torvil had is over"

They all nodded and smiled. "How does it feel, being the mate to a once important figure?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary considering I didn't know that when I met him nor did I know it till only a couple days ago.." she shrugged

They grinned. "So, aside from yesterday's little mishap, how did you day go?"

Ala chuckled "It went well a friend of mine came and visited"

"That's nice..." they smiled. "We don't get many visitors..."

Ala nodded "So I've heard"

They smiled and nodded, then pointed at Torvil. "He's calling you..."

Torvil was waving in their direction.

Ala chuckled and nodded and headed towards him

Torvil held Surion out towards her. "He's hungry again..." he muttered.

Ala smiled softly and took her son "k Love, thanks I will get him fed"

Torvil nodded and handed him over, with a lightly sigh.

Ala leaned forward and kissed his cheek and started to feed Surion

Torvil purred softly and kissed her as she fed him. Then sighed again. "It's hard... I want to hold him all the time... But I know you need more time with him then I..."

"I do not need more then you Torvil..." Ala told him

Torvil sighed softly. "Are you sure?" He asked softly.

Ala nodded "neither of us need more then the other, we share"

Torvil nodded and smiled softly at her.

Ala purred softly looking up at him

Torvil leaned in and kissed her cheek.

Ala smiled feeding her son, once done she pulled him away "Care to burp your son?"

Torvil smiled. "Would love too..." he took Surion and proceeded to burp him.

Ala smiled softly as he took Surion, she was glad he wanted to be part of this all this

Torvil smiled and patted Surion's back as he moved gently. "I'm glad we were blessed..."

"Very love, very.... " Ala purred softly

Torvil smiled, and offered Surion back to her once he'd been burped.

"You want to hold him more?" Ala asked

"A little yes... But I've had him for a bit..." he murmured.

"Ok love...." she said softly taking Surion from him

Torvil smiled softly at her. "He was getting heavy too..." He admitted weakly.

"He's growing" she said with a smile

Torvil nodded. "Shall we go see if Surion will nap..." He chuckled. "And ourselves as well?"

Ala nodded "Yes lets"

Torvil smiled and started for home, walking slow for Ala to keep up with Suri.

Ala put Surion in his carrier and walked along with her mate

Torvil smiled and put an arm around her, kissing her and Surion at different intervals

Ala purred loudly happily

Torvil walked them to the cave and smiled, entering, and heading for the pallet, which he pulled next to the playpen

Ala placed her son in the playpen he was already asleep

Torvil smiled and lay down on the pallet and waited for Ala

Ala crawled into the pallet with him and cuddled close

Torvil purred and shut his eyes. "Love you..."

"Love you too" she purred and closed her eyes to take a nap with him

Torvil napped happy.

Ala's Journal

Dear Diary

Talk about a drastic change! Mind you it wasn't a bad change.... I got to wondre though, why is it that Torvil thinks he is less worthy of holding our son then I am. I may have carried him in my body, I may have given birth to him, but he IS Torvil's son as well.....

First Words and Frustrations

There was a soft rustling about the cave as Joman, Malkar, and Korvil moved about, dropping off wrapped packages of meat around the sleeping pair.

Surion was awake and listening to the sounds, chewing on that matted dragon as he watched the movement through the side of the playpen "Nynyanyanyanya"

Torvil woke slowly. "Mmm?"

"Nyanyanyanynya" Surion was still watching the tall figures and kicking his little legs contently

Torvil smiled and got up. "Hey guys."

"Hey..."

Surion blew content bubbles babbling as if joining the conversation

Torvil smiled and picked him up. "Check him out."

The three men came over to look at Surion.

Surion stared up at them and after a moment got excited and swung his arms causing dragon to go for a flight into the chest of one of his lookers "aDaaahhhh" he kicked his feet happily in his dad's arms

Torvil started laughing, and the other men joined in.

"He's got a lot of energy..." Joman said, holding the dragon.

Ala lifted her head the sounds of laughter waking her up "Huh?"

Surion blew bubbes at them "aDaaaahhhdaahhh"

Torvil smiled. "We have visitors..." He blinked and looked down at Surion. "Uh..." He burst out into a bright smile.

The others rose their brows.

Ala crawled out of the bed and stretched "Welcome back guys" she said mid-yawn

Surion waved his hand up at his father's face "Adahhhdaahhhdaaahhhh"

Torvil beamed and leaned his head. down. "That's right... That's right!"

The others stared at Torvil for a moment, and looked to Ala. "Hey." They all said.

"Good hunt?" she asked walking over to them

Surion blew happy bubbled kicking his feet

Torvil smiled at his son and rocked him around the room as he moved to sit.

"Good enough, Torvil helped a lot... We were able to come home sooner than anticipated..."

"I bet your mates are happy about that" she smiled

They all nodded.

"Vina pounced me..." Joman Chuckled.

"Mikiri barely let me get away..." Malkar grinned.

"I snuck out while Mitizimi was cooking..." Korvil admitted.

Ala laughed "And you all had the same destination"

"We met up on the path..." They grinned. "Torvil told us he was born, so we had to come see..."

Ala smiled "Sounds like a reasonable excuse" she grinned

They all smiled.

Torvil was absolutely beaming.

Ala looked over at her mate "What's happening love?" curious at his expression

Torvil chuckled. "Adahhhdahhhdahhh" He mimicked Surion to the letter, but slowing it a little.

Ala stared at him then it clicked and she grinned "Well that would explain the expression"

Torvil grinned and brushed Surion's face with his fingers.

The other men smiled.

Surion went after his daddy's fingers "Aaahhhhh"

Ala turned back to the three men "So that would be your grandson, nephew or brother in law depending on your relation" she laughed

The three men smiled and nodded their heads.

Torvil chuckled. "I think he's hungry love..." he moved over to her and handed Surion to her.

Ala looked at him and smiled taking Surion from him. She headed over and took a seat on the couch and proceeded to feed him

The men smiled and bowed their head. "Well we must be going..."

Torvil smiled softly.

"I imagine your wives are anxious to spend more time with you" she said with a nod "I'm happy you could get away to meet him"

They smiled. "Well we best hurry..." They said. "Else we won't hear the end of it..."

Ala chuckled and waved to them as they hurried out of the cave

Torvil smiled softly and nodded sitting back down.

"Interesting thing to wake up to" she mused

Torvil nodded and smiled. "Yeah

"You seem very happy love" she said with a grin

Torvil chuckled and smiled. "Well Surion did just name me..."

Ala laughed softly "Is that so" she looked at him with playful eyes

Torvil grinned. "He called me Adahhh..." He chuckled softly.

Ala chuckled "well that was sweet of him"

Torvil grinned. "Yes it was..."

Ala smiled and lifted her sun for a burp

Torvil purred and smiled at her.

Ala got her resounding burp out of her son then sat him on her lap

Torvil chuckled softly and smiled at her.

"So love what's the plans for the day" she asked handing Surion his dragon

Torvil grinned. "Whatever you want to do... We could go shopping..."

Ala nodded "Ok, I'm really not picky love" she smiled happily

Torvil got up. "Lets go and get Surion some more stuff..." He grinned.

Ala giggled and set Surion down and grabbed his carrier and helped Torvil put it on figuring he'd be very interested in carrying him

Torvil grinned and kissed her once he had the carrier on. "Thanks..."

Ala returned the kiss and smiled fetching their son and putting him in it along with the blanket and dragon

Torvil brushed his son's head and smiled.

Ala headed for the cave entrance with the diaper bag on her shoulder

Torvil smiled and started to hum as he walked.

Surion happily gummed his dragon riding with his dad

Torvil smiled and kept walking keeping pace easily with Ala. "Such a lovely day..."

"Very lovely my very happy mate" she grinned and wrapped her arm around his waist

Torvil grinned and purred looking around, and then kissing her ear. "Mmmm... Love you and Surion."

"Love you too my love" she purred

Torvil grinned and nuzzled her.

Ala purred and leaned her head against his shoulder as they walked feeling very happy

Torvil smiled as the entered the market, he made a straight B-line for the Toy booth.

Ala laughed softly when she saw where they were headed

Torvil grinned weakly. "He needs some big-boy toys too..."

"He's not hat big of a boy yet" she replied with a giggle

Torvil grinned. "But I am..." He purred.

Ala laughed and shook her head "Silly"

Torvil grinned and reached the booth, getting a few spears and swords and putting it on Vina's tab.

"You better keep those out of his reach for quite a while yet" she told him seeing his purchases

Torvil smiled and touched the end of one. "Dull..." He smiled softly. "And a few are wood..." He unsheathed and sword and grinned. "More for when he's older, and stuff to keep me in shape till he is."

"Still, he certainly isn't ready for them dull or not" she said with a nod

Torvil nodded. "I know..." He smiled softly. "and I'll keep them away from him till then..." He strapped them on his back.

Ala smiled and nodded "Thankyou love I appreciate it"

Torvil grinned. "Though he does get to see them before I put them away... I must introduce him early..." He smiled softly.

Ala shook her head and sighed. before heading away from the toys booth

Torvil kissed her cheek. "Fine love... I won't..." He nuzzled her softly.

Ala purred at his nuzzle "Now where to love?" she asked

Torvil chuckled. "Food..." he smiled softly.

"Food would be nice" she chuckled

Torvil grinned. "And it's cheaper now too..."

Ala laughed "Gee I wonder why that would be" she gave him a gently prod in the ribs

Torvil chuckled. "Because your husband hunted his a** off is why!"

"What?!? your a**?!? you better go back and get it I like that a**!" she smirked

Torvil burst out laughing. "Well if you want to see if it's still there you're open to try..." He gave her a wink.

Ala giggled "Your son and those toys are in the way I'll have to wait"

Torvil chuckled softly and smirked. "When I take it off to eat then..." He purred.

Ala giggled and gave his a** a squeeze as they walked

Torvil shivered and smirked. "Feels like it's still there..."

"I don't know yet" she said squeezing again

Torvil shivered and purred. "Mmmm..."

Ala purred as they walked and squeezed again

Surion looked up at his dad "Adahhadahhdahhh"

Torvil smiled and kissed Surion's head. "Yes, Adah is being being teased by mommy..."

Ala giggled "Teasing am I" she gave a rough pinch on the same cheek that had been squeezed

Surion blew bubbles and reached up for his dad's face

Torvil gave a soft yelp and leaned his head down towards Surion.

Ala giggled pinching again

"Adaahhhdahhhadahhh" he grabbed his dad's nose

Torvil yelped on two fronts this time a bit louder. He started to chuckle as they reached the food vender.

Surion pulled his hand away and whimpered his little mouth curling towards a cry

Torvil smiled softly at his son, and kissed his forehead softly. "Sorry son.."

Small red tears trickled down his cheeks his face still showed his threat to cry

Torvil brushed his cheek softly. "Shhh shhh..." He whispered softly.

Surion stared at him for a long time before calming "Adahhdahh"

Torvil smiled and nodded. "Adah" He kissed Surion's head and sat down on a stone in front of the vendor's booth.

Ala took a seat near Her mate and son smiling softly

Surion buried his little face into his father's chest and cuddled

Torvil smiled and brushed the back of Surion's head softly. "Two meats please..." He said to the vendor. "Vina's tab..."

"I think Vina might shoot us by the time we leave" she said with a chuckle

Torvil chuckled. "I'll pay her back..." He smirked. "You're not the only one who can make gems."

Ala grinned "Yes dear I'm aware of that"

Torvil grinned softly. "Time to give her another kitten..." He smirked.

Ala laughed "I gave her one of the crystals the other day when I got Surion the clothing"

Torvil grinned. "And I'll give her one before we leave..." He smiled.

Ala laughed and nodded "All right love"

Torvil grinned. "Just to see her pitch a fit..."

Ala laughed "You nevvverrr know" she grinned "Especially since you refuse to make the other thing"

Torvil frowned. "You do know why..." He said softly, tapping the stone as the vendor put the meat down.

"You already said love, it would be breaking rules" she said pulling her meat closer to herself

Torvil nodded slowly and started to eat.

Ala dug into her own meat keeping an eye on her son and mate as she did

Torvil smiled at her, and purred softly. "Hey Sur, how you doing?"

Surion had one hand gripping the front of his father's tunic, one thumb in his mouth and was asleep against his father's chest listening to the heartbeat within

Torvil grinned and purred softly, looking down at his son. "He's adorable..." He purred, and rubbed his back.

Ala smiled and nodded "Takes after his father" she said with a chuckle

Torvil chuckled. "But more his mother..."

Ala laughed "If you insist love" she said working on her meat

Torvil smiled softly. "Just facts..." He finished eating.

"If you say so love" she said again with a laugh before popping the last chunk of meat into her mouth

Torvil smiled and stood again. "Lets go ahead and head on home..." He purred softly.

Ala nodded standing and picking up the diaper bag "Might as well" she said

Torvil smiled softly and stood, walking back towards home.

Ala walked alongside him an arm wrapped around his waist "I'm glad you like the clothing I've had Surion in" she said softly

Torvil purred. "Makes me feel like we really live here..."

"Lately we seem to, we've been here half the time" she mused

Torvil smiled softly. "Is that really a bad thing though?"

"No, it's not" she said shaking her head

Torvil purred softly. "I like it here now..."

"You know... if it wasn't for the responsibilities to the shop, and to our creatures, and the distance from my best friend I'd say lets move here" she said

Torvil chuckled softly. "That would be nice... But yeah..." He shook his head. "This can be our other home..."

"It can, Our home away from home" she said with a soft chuckle

Torvil grinned and purred softly, nuzzling her as they neared their cave.

"And to think at one time we wouldn't be spending time here at all" she said softly

Torvil nodded slowly. "Yeah..."

Ala dropped the diaper bag near the door as they entered "I suppose this stuff your dad and gang dropped off should get put away" she said noticing for the first time the wrapped packages of meat

Torvil nodded and moved over to it, then looked at Surion. "Uh... Would you help me get him down..."

Ala chuckled and carefully took her son from the carrier and detaching his hand from the tunic before taking him and his blanket to continue his nap in the playpen

Torvil smiled and started to work on putting the meat up, placing the spears and swords away for later.

Ala joined him once she had Surion settled to continue sleeping

Torvil smiled. "He seems to be sleeping a lot more..." He murmured

"And staying up more at night" she grumbled

Torvil sighed. "I'll stay up with him tonight..."

"I wish he'd sleep more at night and stay up more during the day" she said with a sigh

Torvil sighed. "Well maybe he will soon..." He said softly.

Ala nodded "With all hopes... How long will this meat last packed away like this?" she asked handing him the last package

Torvil chuckled. "A few weeks..."

"Good, I'm sure we'll use it up the amount of times we've been coming back and forth.... You know... I wonder it the kingdom phone would bring me here..." she mused curiously

Torvil chuckled softly. "You never know..." He murmured.

"I'll have to try it some day, I know it will take me between the kingdom and home, maybe if I input a different 'home' it'd bring me here" she pondered this

Torvil smiled softly and nodded, taking some of the meat and munching.

Ala chuckled "Would be safer then learning to navigate the nether" she chuckled "You got to admit that"

Torvil nodded. "Definitely..." He chuckled weakly.

Ala smiled and walked up towards him wrapping her arms around his waist and looking up at him

Torvil purred and looked down at her, leaning in for a kiss.

Ala met his kiss happily and softly

Torvil purred happily and nuzzled her.

Ala's hands traveled along his back slowly as she deepened the kiss

Torvil purred loudly and pulled her closer and then broke slowly, rubbing his scruffy cheeks against hers.

"That's itchy" she said amongst her purr

Torvil's brow rose a little. "What does love?"

"Your cheeks" she said with a chuckle reaching up and running her fingers against the grain of his scruffy growth

Torvil shivered a little. "When did that start growing..." He mused.

Ala chuckled "I would presume while you were on the hunt since it wasn't there before you left"

Torvil scratched his chin. "Hmm... Guess I'll have to start shaving..."

"I suppose so" she mused wrapping her arm around his waist again

Torvil purred softly and kissed her forehead. "Unless you want me to grow a beard..."

"I like it soft, easier to nuzzle and nibble" she said with a purr

Torvil chuckled. "Then I shall shave it off post haste..."

Ala giggled and pulled herself closer to him holding him as close as she could

Torvil chuckled. "Kinda hard to though, with you latched onto me so tightly..." He purred. "Not that I mind...."

Ala smirked "It can wait a little longer" she said

Torvil grinned and ran his hands up and down her back.

Ala leaned up for another kiss

Torvil purred and kissed her.

A hand moved up over his back and under his soft white hair till is gently stroked the back of his neck

Torvil shivered softly and groaned. "Ala.... You're..." He bit his lip.

Ala pulled him closer deepening the kiss intending to cut off his words as her hand moved slowly and softly

Torvil shivered and leaned more into the kiss, wondering if they had the time.

Ala's over hand moved around his waist then played with his belly button as she continued to kiss him and play with his neck

Torvil shivered and moaned into the kiss. He wanted her soooo bad! He broke again. "Uhh... Ala... Please... I want..."

Ala looked up into his eyes "Want what" she murmured

"You..." He growled huskily, slowly nudging her towards the pallet.

"Is that so" she mused very slowly moving

"Yeesss..." He growled low.

"Why would that be" she said still playing and slowly moving

Torvil gave her a look that would have shouted teaser. He pulled her closer roughly and pressed his lips to hers with astounding force.

Ala purred loudly into the kiss her hands still moving as she kissed

Torvil roughly pushed her to the floor a growl in his throat. She'd gone and riled him, and now she had to deal with the consequences.

Ala purred and looked up at him with a smirk playing upon her lips

Torvil looked deep into her eyes as he worked at her clothing.

"Adaahhhdahhdahhhdahhhdahh" came Surion's little voice having woken up

Ala stared up at him her hands came to a stop

Torvil's face instantly changed and softened. He let out a loooonnnnng sigh and got up, moving over to the playpen to get Surion. "He might be hungry..." He mumbled.

Ala sighed and nodded sitting up

Torvil picked up Surion and held him with a smile, his fingers brushing his son's cheek.

Surion rooted but he also scrunched up his nose unhappily

Torvil sighed and moved to change him first and foremost.

"You ok love?" she asked standing up

"A little disappointed and riled with no release, but yeah I'm fine..." He chuckled and handed her the newly changed Surion to her.

Ala smiled softly "Sorry love, I didn't know he was going to wake up" she said taking him and heading to sit down

Torvil chuckled. "Not your fault..." He smiled.

"Well the riled up part is" she chuckled as she began to feed their son

Torvil chuckled. "Okay that's true..." He sat next to her.

Ala giggled "You could always shave while I feed him, perhaps fetch a 'babysitter' to take son for a 'walk' "

Torvil chuckled. "Or I could shave and snake a nap in... I was up most of the night with him..."

"Up to you love" she purred

Torvil chuckled and kissed her cheek, then got up to go shave.

Ala smiled and hummed softly a Dragonic lullaby to her son who though listening was a little too awake for lullabies to work

Torvil came back a bit later and flopped onto the pallet.

Ala sighed, she finished playing with her son but she wasn't tired and she could tell he wasn't either so she shifted her position on the couch and played quietly with him

Torvil looked up at them before slowly slipping off into a nap.

Ala's Journal

Dear Diary

Torvil's Journal

Dear Journal,

Both excited and frustrated as all hell. Best to start from the begining. Surion said his first word... Kinda... It's Adah... Dada... I'm so happy. I thought however, that it would be more fitting that his first word be mom or momma... But I guess I'm not always right. Onto the frustraion, and frustrationg it was. Oi... Thinking that perhaps Surion would sleep for awhile, Ala decided to get me all riled up and such. It was crusing along well, and we were gettting rather close to intimate when Surion woke up. We need to get him a babysitter...soon. Oh well, I guess I'll have to make do for now... Blah... Till next...

Return from the Cliffs

Ala hummed happily the next morning, Surion lay on his blanket playing with his dragon while she was packing up things to take homewards.

Torvil smiled and helped her pack. "So, did you enjoy your stay?" he asked her softly.

"Yes I think I did, lots of interesting things, and I keep learning new things each time I come." she smiled putting Surion's new clothing into the playpen along with the other things she had placed in it

Torvil chuckled. "I'll take that first..." he smiled. "Do you want to fly back or express?"

"Think it's safe to take Surion into the Nether?" she questioned "He cant easily be told to keep his eyes closed like I can"

Torvil touched her cheek. "We can cover them..." He said softly. "I wouldn't suggest it if I didn't think I could get him through safe..."

"True, very true" Ala said with a nod looking at her son "I imagine the blanket is thick enough to cover"

Torvil nodded. "And it was made by Visha..." He said softly, moving towards the playpen.

Ala nodded "That it was" she looked towards her son on the bed on his blanket then walked over to pick up one of the other blankets and started to fold it

Torvil shimmered the playpen out and returned a few moments later.

Ala chuckled "I still had blankets to put in there love.... guess you can carry them" she said handing him both of the larger blankets

Torvil smirked and held them. "Is that it?" He asked softly.

"Besides myself and Surion and his blanket and dragon and carrier and diaper bag... yes" She wandered over and put on the carrier

Torvil smiled. "Well bring it over and we'll roll..."

Ala nodded and put Surion in the carrier with his blanket and dragon and picked up the bag and headed over to her mate pulling the blanket over her son's face

Torvil smirked and draped the two larger blanket's over Ala's head and shimmered.

Ala laughed as he tossed the blankets over her

Torvil shimmered them back out at home after a short rest in Other, he was getting better at shimmering, and soon would be able to shimmer almost as well as Asy could... Almost

"We there yet? I'm getting rather warm under these blankets..." she mumbled from her hiding place

Torvil whisked the blankets from her head and tossed them on the bed.

Ala smiled looking a tad sweaty from the warmth "Well love I'm going to put son inn his crib and take a longer nap, along with him"

Torvil grinned and kissed her forehead. "I'll be waiting for you..." He purred moving to the bed himself and kicking his shoes off..."

Ala giggled and pulled Surion from the carrier and placed him in the crib which was still at the foot of their bed then walked over and pulled all the drapes to make it dark in the room before heading for the bed and crawling in next to her mate

Torvil purred and nuzzled her, closing his eyes. Little did he know that he was going to sleep for days...

Ala cuddled closely and closed her eyes happily

Torvil entered a deep sleep.

Ala Visits Dia and Surion gains a skill!

Ala flew towards Kazeha often having to stop midair and look back at the moping Balan and her balite. Her own cargo was her Son and one other which remained hiding in Ala's pack "Come on Sabi, you wont find out it's true till you get there"

Spaz was exhausted and clung to Sabi's tail as the flew. Sabi was not wanting to return to Kazeha without Dia...a task which she felt she failed. Sabi just shook her head not believing that Dia was back in the village without a word to anyone.

"If I have to I'll come back and push you to Kazeha. Now come on Dia is my best friend I wouldn't be lying" she said she could see the village on the horizon

Sabi sighed and flicked her tail, sending Spaz rolling into the air with a yelp. He quickly regained himself and flew to catch up. Although tired, he was excited to be reunited with Torpedo/Thug. Sabi flew and caught up.

Ala smiled and continued flying and soon laded outside the East gates of the village

Sabi landed a few seconds after Ala, and a few feet behind her. Spaz just kinda fell into the dirt. Sabi looked up at the tall gate towers and sighed again. She felt like a failure.

Ala reached down and picked up the balite knowing he was rather pooped and put him in the carrier with Surion who had been watching him as much as he could and immediately reached for Spaz. Ala headed for the gates to check in and visit her friend... and haul a Balan home

Spaz smiled and relaxed in the carrier. He liked Surion and didn't mind being chewed on if it meant he didn't have to walk or fly. Sabi sulked following behind Ala.

"Good afternoon, Ala." Alix bowed and smiled, then checked her name on the list. "who's accompanying you today?"

"Mornin Alix, Surion is with me and these are pets of Antidia Muma, I'm bringing them home" she said motioning the sulky Balan and the little balite currently being seriously drooled on

Alix nodded, "got it, noted it, and have a great day." He bowed once more and then stood to the side watching them enter the gate.

Ala chuckled "Later Alix" she said and headed into the village and towards town center

Sabi walked with her head down low, she was able to sniff the dirt on the road she sulked so low. Spaz just purred and cuddled up with Surion, knowing he'd get a bath later anyway.

"Now where is that girl" Ala mused to herself sniffing the air to get a general idea which direction to head

Having a weekend to spend as she pleased as Asy was busy, Dia was at her old hangout in the training grounds with Kito and Nim as well as their pets. She finally had a chance to catch up with them and they were all just sitting and talking, rather than any actual training. Sabi trudged along, trying to not look at anyone.

Ala smiled catching the scent and headed directly into the grounds "Come on Sabi, if you don't watch where you are going you are going to run into something" she said looking over her shoulder

Sabi grumbled and kept walking, lifting her head just in time to not run into a child that had run across her path. She stopped and watched the little boy run to his mother before following Ala again, now walking and watching where she was going.

After a short Time Ala headed into the familiar path that lead into Dia's little clearing

Dia's ear twitched a little and she looked over her shoulder. "someone...is coming." she said as she turned to watch, a huge grin on her face as she knew it was Ala. Kito and Nim just stayed seated and watched.

Ala cleared the trees and pulled Spaz away from her son's drooly grip "Anyone care to claim this?" she asked having stopped at the edge of the trees and was now holding Spazz up by scruff of neck

Spaz just dangled, covered in drool and grinning. He started squirming when he spotted Thug. TORPEDO!!!

Dia's eyes grew! "Oh my Goddess!! ALA! You found her!!!" Sabi peered around Ala and seen Dia standing there. She sat back and rubbed her eyes with her paws at first, and then ran and pounced.

Ala laughed "Actually they showed up at the shop" she said putting Spaz down on the ground

Spaz made a beeline to Thug and tackled the little Balite who was standing in a 'crane' karate pose, on the defensive. Sabi licked Dia's face like she was lapping at water as if she hadn't had a drink in weeks.

Dia was giggling and hugging her companion. "Sabi! where have you been?"

Where have YOU been?

Ala laughed and wandered into the clearing "Seems she's been searching for you Dia" he pulled her over-bulgy pack off her back and sat down

Sabi wouldn't let Dia up.

"Sabi, I was held captive for a couple weeks, and I returned a little over a week ago.

I didn't know where you were." I got a little lost and sidetracked, but I searched everywhere. I'm sorry, Ala, I didn't believe you.

Ala chuckled "It's ok Sabi, how bout you let Dia up though, you aren't exactly a little or light Balan anymore" She pulled open the pack and looked down into it "Also seems you didn't have an egg at the isle anymore Dia"

Sabi moved back a little, but Dia quickly sat up at Ala's news. "What!? what happened to it?"

"This" she pulled out a small Pae who was blinking and looking around confused at the change of environment

"Is that...Drizelda?" Dia reached towards Ala to the little creature in her hands. She'd named the egg, not knowing if it had gender or not, but hoping.

"Yup, she hatched a few days ago according to Estra" Ala put the Pae down on the grass

Dia picked up the little Pae and smiled, "Dizzy! Its nice to meet you!"

Dizzy grinned and fluttered her wings, lifting herself up a few inches off the grass.

Ala chuckled "A regular reunion" she giggled pulling Surion's blanket from the carrier and laying it on the grass then laying him on top of it

Kito went over to Surion to play with him. Nim watched, making a weird face at the baby.

Dia nuzzled the baby Pae. "Ala, thank you! And I still need to send a thank you to Estra. It looks like she's taken good care of Dizzy."

Ala chuckled "No problem, I went to get dizzy early this morning , Sabi was at the shop when I stopped back there so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone and haul her back too"

Surion blew bubbles at Kito kicking his little legs and swinging his arms happily

Kito babbled, thinking he was actually communicating and tickled Surion's feet. Dia set Dizzy back in the grassed and watched her for a few seconds. Spaz had hauled Thug over by the scruff of his neck and when he spotted the little pink Pae, he dropped Thug and ran to her and picked her up. I will name you Ladybug. and Spaz too Dizzy to Thug and introduced them. Dia laughed and just watched the creatures interact with each other. Dizzy seemed to have a ball.

Ala laughed "I think letting Spaz hear about naming might have been a bad idea" she said shaking her head

Surion kicked his little feet at the fingers ticking them

Dia nodded, "no kidding. Although...his name aptly fits him." she chuckled.

Kito had pulled a feather from his robe's pocket and was using it to tickle Surion's nose and toes. Nim just watched, hardly believing her eyes to see that Kito liked babies.

Surion sneezed when his nose was tickled getting bits of baby drool allll over the place

Ala chuckled "That it is... Just glad she finally showed up again... Sabi that is"

Kito overdramatically wiped baby drool from his brow. He seemed to have several loose odds and ends in his pockets that he'd pull out to play with Surion with. The next little doohickey seemed to be a small plushie of some sorts, of a human.

Dia nodded, "Me too. I'm glad your in one piece Sabi...but why did you go looking for me? I told you to stay safe."

Surion stared at Kito for a moment before kicking his legs again and reaching "AAAaahhhhhhhhhhfppppfffttt"

Kito danced the little plushie around on Surion's belly, singing a strange little song in gibberish as he did so.

Surion latched onto a leg of the plushie and pulled it towards his open mouth fully intending to gum it

Kito played a little fake tug-o-war with Surion before letting him have the plushie. "He's great, Ala."

Surion protested as Kito tried to 'take' the plushie but was soon gumming on the leg happily

Ala chuckled "Thanks Kito I like to think he is too" she turned to look towards Dia and Sabi again

Dia was scratching Sabi's head as it lay in her lap. "Thank you, Ala." Sabi seemed to be falling asleep.

"Any time Dia.. her timing was impeccable though considering you asked me to come today" Ala chuckled

Dia nodded, "no doubt. seems she was meant to come today." she grinned and continued petting and scratching Sabi.

"Definitely, but I'm just happy to see your pets home with you where they belong" Ala said relaxing her elbows on her knees

Dia nodded. "me too. And its great to see Dizzy. I'm so glad she's okay. I was quite worried."

Ala nodded "So what's new my friend" she asked

Dia grinned wide, "I actually have exciting news. I haven't even told Nim or Kito yet. And I also wanted to show you something special a little later."

Ala nodded "What's that?" she asked

"Asy and I Bonded. And he's going to come live with me." She said rather excited.

Nim and Kito just crooked their head at her. "He's ... moving in...already?" Nim said apathetically.

Ala crooked a brow "Well now, that's a big bit of news, you found out what it all means I presume?"

Dia nodded. "I did. We're married...according to his people's ways. He said I'm officially Mrs. Grims." Dia beamed.

Ala chuckled "Well I suppose congrats are in order then" Ala grinned

Dia smiled brightly. "But he said we can have a Kazehan wedding too, anything I wanted." Kito and Nim just looked at her with jaws wide open. Completely speechless.

Ala grinned "I suppose this means Kito doesn't need to smell like lavender all the time anymore?"

Kito blushed a little. Nim just glared at Dia. "You...up and MARRIED him, and we've never even MET him!"

Dia looked towards Nim, "Nim...I...its different for him over there...we're still going to have a wedding, for my family and friends and so I can feel like its official on this side." She said quietly.

"Nim... calm down... Asmodeus is a nice person, after all... my son's middle name is named after him" Ala said

Nim glared at Ala briefly, only before returning the glare to Dia. "What happened to dating...to wooing...to engagements and introducing your man to your friends?" She said very flatly. Kito didn't say a word, he was hurt she didn't tell him, but didn't know how to tell her.

Dia sighed, "Nim, he lives on Other Side. He's a Necromancer. Most of our courtship was spent either there, or the one day we've spent here. You and Kito were working with Kal the day we...fell in love."

Ala sighed it was obvious they needed to talk this through, she got up leaving her stuff where it was and picked up Surion walking with him around the clearing, she knew exactly how it was to fall in love with someone that easily

Kito put his hand on Nim's shoulder. "I felt her happiness, her love." he sighed speaking of the emphatic bond he shared with his best friend. "I think I knew the day they bonded, too. That's when I wasn't able to feel her anymore."

Dia looked to Kito and tilted her head. "Kito...I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. Things happened like a whirlwind. And to be honest, I'm surprised something like this didn't happen sooner...considering what I had been going thru."

Nim actually shed a single tear. "Dia. Congratulations. I guess I knew the day would come when we'd split up. I know you'll want to be a good wife to your husband, and won't have time for us as much."

Ala stopped, she'd been walking circles around the trio... she watched Nim with pursed lips, not much time... Ala had her own thoughts about that one

Dia looked to Kito. "Kito, if you were able to feel that, why didn't you feel my fear, my worry and come help me when I was captive?" she asked, not accusing him of anything, but merely because she was surprised he felt her happiness recently, considering they'd been drifting anyway.

Kito shook his head. "I was worried for you. I didn't know where you were, and I ... was afraid to look by myself." He said softly. "And I couldn't feel you as strongly as I used to."

Ala's eyes moved back and forth between them and she finally rejoined them sitting down as Surion began to root

"Kito...I think we've been drifting apart for a while now. I think it comes with maturing, growing older. We will always be friends, but we will need to move on with our lives eventually." Dia sighed, surprised those kinds of words even came from her mouth.

Nim nodded. "Dia's right. We're all of the age to be seeking mates and settling down." she said quietly. Kito started crying, feeling guilty he'd let Dia down. "I'm sorry, Dia."

Ala bit her lip listening to them and dealing with the feeding of her son

Dia looked to Ala, then back at Nim and Kito. "The bonding was...something I wanted to do, but also...happened in the heat of the moment." she said quietly.

Kito wiped his tears and smiled, not at Dia's words, but because he suddenly felt a peaceful feeling. "Dia, I'm happy for you. This means you won't have to worry about pouncing guys randomly...and...wasn't that the reason you were snatched in the first place?"

Ala chuckled softly knowing the pouncing was an issue till recently

Dia chuckled softly at Kito's comment. "Aye. And you'll be happy to know, that even though I can't control my sense of smell still, Asy's scent is strong enough that he can hold me over for a while." She gave a playful wink to him.

Nim smiled, "Dia, I'm happy for you. I'm sorry I was angry at first. I guess the shock was just something I wasn't ready for. I kinda pegged Kito to get hitched before either of us."

Ala burst out laughing "I peg Kito the ever-lasting-donut-loving bachelor" she grinned

Kito pouted a little to Ala. "I can find girl's if I wanted to." he grunted in a lower, more masculine tone, obviously trying to be more manly.

Dia laughed, "Yeah, I always thought Nim would hitch first, Kito's too...Kito...to marry any ol' girl." Nim blushed a little bit, but turned her face so no one noticed.

Ala laughed "Just my opinion" she said looking at him flashing him her sharp-toothed grin

Kito chuckled. "I know...I just haven't really....I mean...girls don't like me when I like them. Its rough actually." he sighed.

Nim stood up and brushed herself off a bit. "I think I'm going to go and let you 2 visit a bit more. Ala, it was good to see you, and meet your new baby. I'll see you around." And Nim bowed and headed towards the entrance Kito headed out with her.

Ala nodded and waved to Nim & Kito as they left then turned to Dia "Sooo what was it you wanted to show me"

"Oh! Ala! My dragon clan has a new addition. He's the cutest little baby rain dragon. I've never really introduced you to them, so I thought you'd like to meet the baby at least. Plus, I like summoning him to cuddle anyway." she chuckled.

Ala chuckled "Sounds like something interesting to see considering..."

Dia nodded, and stood up. "you'll love him. He's sweet and doesn't bite...the others bit when they were babies." she chuckled. Dia stood straight and still and bowed her head and closed her eyes. Her hand held in the Dragon Seal sign. "Kuchiyose no Justsu KOURYOU!" She shouted, then brought her thumb to her mouth, and nipped the tip at the time she removed a scroll from her hip pouch, and with a flick of her wrist, unrolled it, running the bleeding thumb across the symbols and words written on the scroll. The scroll disappeared with a 'pop' and a small puff of smoke was in its place, and that quickly dissipated revealing a small little blue, shimmering dragon hovering in the air, flapping his wings rather quickly, like a little humming bird.

Ala grinned seeing the little dragon, she looked at him leaning a little closer her tail moving behind her

Dia held her hands out under the baby dragon and he slowly lowered himself down, coiling his serpent-like body in her hands. Dia sat down slowly and held her hands towards Ala. "His name is Kouryou. And he's an absolute sweetheart." she said quietly, watching the little dragon in her hands as his wings stopped fluttering as he rested.

Ala reached a hand forward slowly towards the little dragon, she didn't say much but she purred. She didn't know whether this little one could sense her heritage or not

Kouryou lifted his head back up and turned to look at Ala. His little tail started twitching and he leaned his head closer to hand and started nuzzling.

Ala smiled softly running a finger down the length of the dragon's head and neck however her own habits made her avoid anything that had to do with his wings or horns

Dia giggled. "he likes you." she watched Ala pet the little dragon. "he likes under his chin stroked, just like his daddy." she whispered.

"Seems to" she said with a nod still purring softly and moving her finger below his chin to stroke the surface

Kouryou's wings flapped happily and a tiny little purr could be heard emanating from him. "you want to hold him? he likes to coil around things tho." she smiled

"If he wants to" she said laying her hand flat inviting the little dragon to sit on it, her tail wrapped around her side and coiled in her lap

Kouryou slithered over to Ala's hand, and just as Dia said, he started coiling his body around her fingers, weaving in and out of them. "Dad says its rare to witness new elementals. So its actually a really, really bid deal that Kouryou was born, and especially that he's so friendly. Dad says he'll most likely bond with me more than the others because I'm here while he's a baby."

Ala nodded "Well he's a cutey that's a definite" she said her tail moved up and coiled around her arm loosely the tip resting on her wrist as she stroked the infant again

Dia smiled watching Kouryou with Ala. "He knows you are a friend." she said quietly as Kouryou's head started heading for Ala's tail, to sniff and nuzzle. His tiny little claws weren't harsh enough to hurt, they actually tickled when he'd try scratching at anything.

"Think he senses my heritage?" she asked watching the little dragon with a smile and a continued purr

"He might. Maybe that's why he's clinging so close to you." Dia smiled. "I need to work with a him a lot while he's growing, so he'll trust me. But from what I've seen, he seems to trust really easily. Unless he just knows we won't hurt him. I've never really shown him to anyone else."

Ala nodded "Hard to say I suppose... you said he was a.. rain dragon? that'd be a very different line of dragons then mine"

Dia nodded. "Yeah, he was born representing rain. But he's actually an Elemental Dragon. His daddy is an earth dragon and his mom a water dragon. We actually weren't sure what element he'd be born as."

Ala nodded "Very interesting, I wonder if the Fae Dragons ever had any contact with these dragon before now..."

Dia shook her head. "I actually wouldn't know. I could have Dad ask Ryuuou next time he sees him...but I wouldn't know otherwise."

Ala nodded and looked up at her "Would be interesting to find out, though it's probable the answer is no, most Fae dragon don't have wings, it's a big thing to be one who does. Though the average dragon from the cliffs can turn into a full dragon they are wingless for the most part"

"wow, I didn't know that." Dia smiled. "So like, if Torvil didn't have wings, he could change?"

"I don't really know what Torvil can do in that aspect, I don't think it would matter regarding the wings but it's a big deal to have them... my mother in law shifted to full dragon form the first time I met her and passed out when she found out I was a winged" Ala tried to explain

"Wow! So you are blessed to have the wings. Do Selene and Torvin have them?" Dia asked, not sure, since its been so long since she seen them.

Ala nodded "My entire family does save for Surion, if he gets them it wont be till he's older"

Dia nodded. "Wow. That's really cool."

Ala nodded and looked back to the little dragon "It's a interesting thing though I think the shock of it has worn off, not many make much notice of mine or Torvil's anymore"

Dia nodded. "yeah...people are getting more tolerant. I'm not really sure why. I am surprised at how widely I'm accepted...all things considered." she mused.

Ala chuckled "A few months ago it's possible things would be different... remember the first time I landed in Kazeha?"

Dia chuckled, "Yeah. Kazeha's come a long way in a few months, hasn't it?"

"Considering I can walk through the village wings unfurled... very much so, but then a few months ago your people thought the Kerrsalians were dead and gone too and now look you have dozens of them right here" she said

Dia nodded and smiled. "yup, thanks to Kal. She's helping us grow and progress." Dia watching Kouryou start to slither up Ala's forarm and she chuckled.

Ala chuckled "That tickles a little" Ala tail moved a bit

Kouryou heads straight for her shoulders, where he draped himself and started nuzzling Ala's neck. Dia giggled. "He really likes you, Ala."

Ala chuckled "So it would seem, he sure is cute that's a definite"

Surion kicked his little legs dislodging the blanket from atop him and looked up "Aaahhhppfpffttt"

Dia smiled and looked towards Surion. "Kouryou is gently, want to introduce him to Surion?"

Ala laughed "Nearly everything small that goes near Surion gets drooled and gummed... you saw Spaz when I first arrived... that was Surion's doing"

Dia laughed. "Its up to you. Kouryou may be gentle, but he's sturdy too."

Ala chuckled "And Surion can be not-so gentle even if he doesn't mean it..." she looked at Dia not really able to 'see' the little dragon anymore

Dia held her hand out to Kouryou and he slithered on to it. Dia then held her hand near Surion. "Kouryou, that's baby Surion. He's new, like you." She said softly to him. The tiny blue dragon purred and flapped his little wings fast like a humming bird and flitterered over to look at Surion, hover just over him, out of reach.

Surion cooed seeing the tiny dragon and tried to reach for him sounding his frustration at not being able too

Kouryou extended his tail down to the baby, and his body seemed to start to glisten. He was emitting water from his scales, to make his body slippery so the baby could hold him, but also so he could slither out of his grip easier if he needed to.

Surion got hold of his target and started to pull the dragon closer

"Surion gentle love" Ala said trying to get him to stop pulling

Kouryou lowered himself down to Surion, to avoid being pulled from the air.

"Dia Surion will gum kouryou" Ala said watching her son intently who had his mouth wide open as his hands got closer

"Kouryou, the baby might not be gentle." Dia said softly. Kouryou's body glistened, and he was able to easily pull his tail from Surion's grip and returned to Dia's hand. "He's...all wet."

Surion's face scrunched up threatening to cry, something Ala curbed by quickly handing him his stuffed dragon that found it's way to his mouth in a matter of seconds

Ala sighed "Sorry, he's going through that everything in the mouth stage, I think he may start to teeth his first tooth, it's really hard to say, nothing it normal about rates of growth with Surion"

Dia smiled. "its okay. I think Kouryou was just curious about Surion too. He probably could have withstood the gumming too, but I don't think you'd want Surion sucking on a little wet dragon." she chuckled. Kouryou was poking his head towards Ala.

Ala laughed "Probably not" she lifted her tail and held it towards Kouryou, the spaded tip laying flat near Dia's hand

Kouryou quickly slithered to Ala's tail and he wound himself around it, purring gently.

Ala chuckled "Very gentle little guy, have you ever called on others?"

Dia nodded, "yeah a lot actually. Well, not recently, but during training I had to, because part of being able to summon them, is them trusting me. So I had to get to know them. There are a few I can summon that don't really like me though. And a couple I can't summon at all." she chuckled.

Ala chuckled "Sounds like a very interesting skill" she purred and brought the end of the tail near her face looking into the little eyes of Kouryou "Never give up your skills Dia, they are important even if they don't seem to be"

Dia nodded. "Thank you for that Ala. Its funny that you mention that though." she said quietly.

"Why's that?" she asked and looked up past Kouryou towards her friend

"Its been something on my mind lately. Not giving up my skills...but ... giving up being a Shinobi."

"Why would you want to give up being a Shinobi, I thought it was something you really wanted to be" Ala was confused

Dia nodded. "its my life's dream, to protect Kazeha and be a Shinobi...but...things changed. Yesterday, Asy asked me what my dad did that makes him be away so often...and well, my dad is the same as me, only higher ranked. So he asked if I would ever leave him like my dad leaves my mom..." Dia sighed. "And I don't want to ever leave him like that."

Ala frowned softly "What you do with your life Dia is truly your choice. I'd hate to see you give up on something you really want, but if you want to stay here and not be a Shinobi for Asy even more I would imagine it's something you need to work out for yourself right here" she said and tapped her chest where her heart was

Dia nodded. "I know, its just something I've been thinking about. Considering I'm confined to the village for the next couple years...I have time to think about it. I've been wondering if there is someway I can still serve, but not have to leave on missions. Like Nim and Kito have right now."

"Hard to say, that would be something you'd have to contact your elders on I would imagine" she nodded and moved her tail back towards Dia

Dia nodded. "yeah. I'm in no rush, just been thinking about it." She held her hand out and Kouryou slithered over to her.

Ala nodded "Something to give much thought, give it a lot of that, don't rush your decision"

Dia nodded. "yeah, I've worked my whole life for things, I'm not going to give them up in a heartbeat." she chuckled and looked at Kouryou. "ready to go back home?" she said softly to him.

Ala smiled and picked up her son stroking his cheek then moving to feed him when she found he was rooting

Dia held her hand out for Kouryou to start flapping his wings so he could support himself. Dia bowed and held her hand in the sign of Dragon, and with a puff of smoke, Kouryou turned back into the scroll that Dia had used to summon him.

"Very unique way of summoning him" Ala mused with a chuckle

Dia grabbed the scroll out of the air and started rolling it back up. "this is my contract with the Clan. I have to 'sacrifice' using my own blood to call them. From how I've been told, this is sent to the plane the dragon comes from, and when they are dismissed, it returns."

"Ahh I see, I suppose that makes sense" she chuckled

Dia nodded. "to tell the truth, I'm not sure how it works, I just know the steps to do it." she chuckled.

Ala laughed and nodded and looked down at her son with a smile.

"Ala, I want to thank you again for bringing Sabi and Dizzy home. I can forgive you for Spaz tho." she chuckled watching Ala and Surion.

Ala chuckled "No problem Dia, I know you couldn't come to them."

Dia smiled and lazily plucked at the blades of grass. "Ala...do you have anywhere to be for a while today?"

Ala shook her head "No not really, got to be back tonight obviously but Surion sleeps pretty well anywhere so long as he has his blanket" she smiled

Dia smiled. "that's good...cuz there was a couple things I wanted to ask you about." she turned a little red.

Ala quirked a brow "Oh?"

"uhm..." Dia was red, but not really as bright as before in the cliffs. "I'm not sure how to word what I want to...ask..." she said quietly, watching her fingers plucking more blades of grass.

Ala chuckled "Well word it as straight-forward as you need to" she told her friend as she burped her son

Dia giggled and thought for a moment. "Ala...I want to talk to you about ... " she said rather quickly, "intimacy" she whispered.

Ala smiled "In what aspects?" she said suppressing some laughter trying to be serious

Dia's giggles were getting a little...loud, but she couldn't help it. "well...all aspects...I don't really know much about it. I've...suppressed those feelings since they started when I first hit puberty. I was afraid that was the succubus part of me...I didn't know humans felt like that too sometimes." She laughed and tried to keep a straight face.

Ala chuckled softly and lay Surion on the blanket with his dragon "Aye humans feel desires for intimacy too, perhaps not as strongly as the succubi or the dragon, but they do feel them." she nodded


*Long Conversation Regarding Intimacy*

Ala shook her head "No need to be, though you are forgiven regardless, we all go through things we cannot control..."

Dia quirked her brow and grinned, "did you?"

Ala laughed and nodded "Yeah there was a time I had certain urges of my own I could not control, mind you I still don't have perfect control over them... but it's better"

Dia laughed so hard she fell over backwards. "Ala...we sure make some pair, don't we."

Ala laughed and nodded "Aye that we do, mind you we have a lot in common too I imagine that's why we've gotten along so well over the time we've known each other"

Dia sat up, and leaned back on her hands against the ground. "yeah. I'm glad you're my friend Ala. I love talking to you." she smiled.

"I'm glad you are my friend as well" she said with a smile glancing down at her son who was on his belly "Erm... I don't remember putting him like that.." she said pointing at her son

Dia looked to Surion. "Can he flip himself?"

"Not that I know of as yet...." Ala said still staring at her son

"so...maybe he's figured it out?" Dia asked, leaning forward to watch Surion.

Ala grinned "Perhaps he has, such a good little man" she said

"so is this...like a milestone or something?" Dia chuckled.

Ala grinned "Yeah it would be" she purred softly

"Woohoo!!!" Dia raised her arms and cheered, mindful to not be too loud. "so when's going to start just racing around the place?"

Ala laughed "I don't know Dia, but I'll let you know when he does"

Dia chuckled. "He's growing fast."

"Not as fast as the twins did" she said with a grin

Dia laughed, "true that." She stretched her legs out in front of her and sort of just lounged on the grass.

"Was there anything else you needed to ask me about?" she asked looking up at her

Dia smiled, "Actually...yeah. I was wondering if you'd want to help me fly."

"Course I would" Ala said smiling widely

Dia grinned. "You're the best, Ala!"

Ala laughed "Dunno bout best but I'd love to fly with you and to do that you have to be able to do it"

Dia stood up and stretched her wings out. "I've it figured out, I think....I mean, so I don't hit the ground."

Ala nodded "I'm glad you got past your fear to start to learn" she said looking up at her

Dia grinned down at Ala. "watch" Dia held her hand to her face, curling her last 2 fingers down and suddenly there was a swirl of Shadows and Dia seemed to just disappear. The dark swirly shadow floated to the ground and a finger snap was heard. The shadows dissipated revealing Dia sitting cross legged on the ground. "poor demonstration...but I was figuring it could soften the blow if I lose control."

Ala smiled "Seems like a good start"

"ala...this is going to sound bad...but I don't even know how to lift myself off...even if I flap hard."

Ala tapped her chin "You don't really have to flap hard it's more a matter of angle and using the air below your wings"

Dia crooked her head. "huh...I didn't know that." She stood up and extended her wings once more. "So what do I do?"

"Make sure you have the pressure of the air below your wings, it doesn't cause lift if all you are doing is cutting through the air like a knife through butter"

Dia looked to either side at her wings and angled them in a little bit and flapped down. She lifted just a couple inches before setting back down. "whoa!"

Ala smiled "A good start" she nodded

Dia beamed at Ala. "That was...easy." She tried again, flapping a couple more times, lifting further up."

Ala grinned happily "There ya go, now you are catching on to it"

Dia set back down by slowing the flapping. "so...how do I...hold at one height?"

Ala looked down at her son then got up "That one is harder to describe" she said letting her wings loose. She pulled herself into the air and hovered making small circles in the air with her wings that held her fairly steady "When I did most of my learning I was above the water of the ocean so I didn't have to worry about how I landed "

Dia watched Ala's wings then tried to mimic the motion. She got up a few feet, and wobbled quite a bit before slowing down and landing again.

"Practice is what it's going to take, took me several falls before I got it too." she landed softly

Dia nodded. "yeah, I figured as much." She looked straight up into the air. "part of me wants to see how high I can go, the other part is threatening to cut me off completely if I do." she chuckled.

Ala chuckled "Your fear of heights is something you will have to conquer"

Dia nodded. "yeah...whoda thunk someone with wings was afraid of falling."

"Actually that is a pretty reasonable fear. Especially if you aren't used to flying or being up in the air" She nodded

Dia smiled, " I suppose it is." She sat back down across from ala and watched Surion for a bit. "will he get wings?"

"He might, he might not. It's severe stress that causes change in our kind." Ala said folding her wings and sitting back down

Dia nodded. "I see. I don't know if it was coincidence or stress that caused my wings to sprout, but they came when I was captive. My other features just seem to ... change gradually on their own."

Ala nodded "Hard to say, I really don't know enough about your kind to make that call"

"Mom says we're creatures of change and adaptation...so things will always change. She thinks the wings came because I was in dire need of them. Little help they gave since I didn't know how to use them." she grumbled lightly

Ala smiled softly "It's always possible" she said softly

Dia nodded. "yeah. Although I have to admit, I kinda like them now. I hated them at first, but its neat to have something everyone envies. I thought people here would be mean about it."

Ala smiled "Times have changed and I think this village has too"

Dia nodded. "Its about time. Its nice to see things progressing."

Ala chuckled "You think they would have if Kal hadn't decided to be a mischief maker?"

"never...things would be still stuck in the ancient days." she chuckled.

Ala laughed "Mind you some of the problems that have arisen probably would never have happened either"

Dia laughed. "you win some, you lose some. I'm very confident that when the final conflict occurs, we'll be ready and will come out victorious."

"You bet, this village has advanced far beyond when they last came!"

"Yup, and there are SO many Shinobi in Academy right now, its like, everyone wants to support the village. I'm proud of the people."

"You have every right to be" Ala said with a nod

Dia smiled. "someday there'll be peace and we won't need such tight security around here. Although...I have to admit, I love the safe feeling being inside the village."

"After your experiences That doesn't shock me" she chuckled

Dia nodded. "I just wish I could go where I wanted, when I could. I know Asy said he'd take me anywhere I want to go...I just hate bothering him all the time."

"Maybe you could ask him to teach you how to navigate the Nether?" Ala suggested

Dia looked at Ala..."you think I could do it? Its... far to complicated, isn't it?"

"If Torvil can learn it, I think you could too... Might take a while but I think you could you are a smart person" she nodded

Dia smiled, "thanks, Ala. Maybe I will ask him when I see him again."

Ala nodded "Course, it only makes sense really, especially who you are compared to him"

Dia smiled. "yeah."

Ala chuckled "Kinda like me learning more about my mate's kind regardless of the fact I've become one myself"

Dia chuckled. "yeah, I suppose it is...Ala, can I ask you a hypothetical question. I know you probably don't know...but I was curious your opinion."

Ala nodded "course you can"

"Asy said his kind changed, because of the Nether. He said he used to have green eyes like his mom. So my question is...if we have children...do you think they'll look like him now, or...before?"

"Hard to say, they may look like he did back then, they might look like him now it's truly hard to say"

Dia nodded. "I don't care either way, its just one of those things I was thinking too much on."

"and to think you are already thinking of children" Ala smirked

Dia blushed. "No.. I..." she sighed. "The thought had crossed my mind...but I want to enjoy my youth first."

ala chuckled "There's no harm in thinking about them"

Dia smiled. "Yeah...Its fun to think about sometimes, but then when I think about the realities of it, it snaps me out of that fantasy." she chuckled.

la laughed "Hey I can't say the same I'm happy to be a mother"

"I'm sure you are...and I'm sure I will be when it happens. But...I feel too young still. I mean, I only just started maturing." she laughed.

Ala chuckled "Whenever you feel ready my friend, that's when you will have them"

Dia nodded. "yeah, it'll happen when its fated for me. I don't worry about it that much. Like I said, I just think too much." she chuckled.

Ala chuckled running a hand down her son's back "It's a blessing though, when you decide to"

Dia grinned. "until then, there's always Surion." she chuckled.

"There certainly is considering he is your god-son" she grinned

Dia smiled, "so what exactly doing being a god-mum entail? I mean, I know its quite and honor, and I'm very glad you chose me....but...is there other stuff I shoudl know or do?"

Ala chuckled "Not really you are just here for him to help support him and encourage him through his life, and should anything happen to myself and Torvil not tha tI anticipate it would, he would live with you"

Dia nodded. "note to self, bump off ala and Torvil." she whispered and made shifty eyes while chuckling lightly. "I mean, I understand. That's cool."

Ala reached over and swatted her friend "Brat"

Dia laughed and rubbed her arm. "I'd never do that. I just like getting a rise out of you sometimes."

Ala laughed "just don't say that around Torvil"

"he wouldn't think I was kidding, huh?"

"He's very protective of me and the children is more it" she said with a nod

Dia nodded. "gotcha...no sense of humor." she joked.

"Not regarding our safety he doesn't unfortunately" she gave a wry smile

"Like I could do anything anyways." Dia mused. "but I know what you are saying...no joking with Torvil."

"Oh you can joke with him, just not about the safety of the family" she said

Dia nodded.

Ala sighed softly "So what else should we do"

"not sure really...if you still have to kill, I'm sure we could find something. how's things been going with you lately?"

Ala chuckled "Things have been going well, the men returned from the hunt early so we came home early Surion is getting bigger, Torvil was still asleep when I left... which I kinda found odd...." she mused

"does he normally not sleep?"

Ala shook her head "Not this long no... I'm going to be a bit concerned if he's still asleep when I get home"

"Maybe he snuck of with Asy somewhere." Dia chuckled.

Ala chuckled "If he did he wouldn't be laying in the bed"

"He could have gone off somewhere, then came back and went back to sleep...you'd never know." Dia chuckled. "I'm sorry Ala, I'm just in a giddy mood I think."

Ala laughed "I suppose you never know... why are you so giddy?"

"I'm not sure actually. Just how I feel lately." Dia chuckled.

Ala laughed "twiterpated" she smirked

Dia's cheeks turned a little red and she chuckled. "You think so, eh?"

"Think? forget think... I know so" she winked

Dia laughed. "I suppose so. He makes me feel good about things." she said with a happy sigh.

"Mates should be able to do that" Ala said with a nod picking up Surion to rock him in her arms

"Even though its only been less than a day, I miss him. Is that normal?" Dia said, her cheeks still red.

Ala nodded "Yup, it is" Ala smiled

Dia chuckled and smiled. "Its nice...to be in love." she said quietly, "I need to make sure I thank Torvil." she giggled.

Ala laughed "I don't think he takes credit, I think he was kinda shocked actually"

Dia laughed. "When I think about it, it shocks me too."

Ala chuckled "You know I should really check on him... Torvil that is... " she started gathering her stuff

Dia stood to help Ala, "Ok. Well, I'm glad you came today Ala."

"I am too and I'm glad I didn't have to put a leash on your Balan and drag her here, almost thought I was going to have to"

Dia chuckled and glanced over to Sabi who had curled up around Dizzy and was sleeping soundly. "I appreciate you bring her home." Dia approached Ala to give her a hug

Ala nodded and returned the hug before placing Surion in his carrier and unfurling her wings

"Have a good flight home, Ala. I'll see you soon!" Dia said as she watched Ala get ready to go.

"I will see you next time, and tell Kal for me I'll poke back later I'm a bit concerned about my mate" she said then lifted off and headed out of the trees and towards the mountain

Ala's Journal

Dear Diary

Surion learned a new skill today, I wish Torvil was awake so I could show him, he's been asleep for much longer then he ever sleeps, and I couldn't rouse him. I'm worried about him. This has never happened before

Preoccupied Ala visits the clinic

(( Sunday May 15th pg 2408-2420))

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala landed outside the clinic and pulled open the door, her son Surion in his maya wrap carrier and very much covered up by his favorite blanket was asleep. Ala however seemed kinda preoccupied as she entered the building, perhaps even to the point of worry

Black Duvet

Angie couldn't help but dissolve into giggles at the new discovery. "That's so.. I mean," she managed to catch herself in time. "Sweet. Is Maddie easy to take care of, or does she give you a hard time sometimes?"

Angie blinked as people entered the clinic. And.. people. Oh boy. Mustnotfleemustnotfleemustnotflee...

NO. FLEE. FLEEEEE.

Angie made an odd squeaking sound and tried to shuffle off.. somewhere, but only suceeded in landing on her backside. Deciding not to try that again, she pretended to ignore him and went back to Cute Baby #1.

caroline_cupcake

At the corner of her eye, Caroline noticed a person move closer to her with a friendly wave. She lowered the volume of the headphones that started to slide down her belly at this time. "Hiya!" She waved back a bit too energetically, pregnancy made her feel bi polar at times, one minute happy, one minute sad, and one minute hungry or mad. Her eyes glanced down at her belly a bit cautiously; Caroline placed the headphones in a tiny clutch that she had been holding.

Pink Lemonade

"Surpringly, Maddie is easy to take care of! I thought she'd be a handull, but she only cries when she wants something, and I haven;t responded to the want for a while, or when she is upset. She doesn't cry late in the night or anything, which makes it even easier."

Maddie, being the ever observant one noticed Angie squeak and move. Was that a new game? She tried to squeak just like her but it came out more like a burp, and then shuttered in her mother's lap, smiling afterwards and wondering if she was playing right.

Pink, being a little slower than her daughter on the other hand looked at Angie, head tilted to the side in a little bit of confusion. "Are you ok?" She asked, wondering if one of the new people that were comming in gave her that type of a reaction. She began looking around the room, smiling at each of the new entrants. She didn't know any of them but she was infact eagar to meet them all. Hopefully they'd all come over in their own due time.

Sayuri_Nitta

'Hi,' she said when the pregnant woman spoke.
'I'm Rhiannon.'
She looked at Cyrus again.
'Yeah but I have no idea how I got home. Last thing I remember was all the talk about kissing.'
She thought she would definately remember if Cyrus and her had kissed. So they couldnt have.
'Y'know you owe me a drunken snog,' she teased, giggling.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala looked around, the only person there that she recognised was Caroline, who in herself seemed busy with someone. She wandered further into the room and took a seat on a chair near the two women and infant

caroline_cupcake

A tiny grin flickered as she heard the young girl respond. "Hehe, very nice to meet you Rhianno, I'm Caroline." She put out her hand as a polite gesture. The word snog ringed in her ears. "Snogging, where! When?" Caroline almost wanted to wink, being the horny woman she was, and then sadly Caroline realized she was pregnant?so no snogging for her.

Jiora

Cyrus glanced curiously at the pregnant woman - she seemed like a nice enough person. Even so, he grimaced a bit and looked away again. He simply wasn't in the mood to talk with any new people today.

"I don't think I'll be getting drunk again any time soon. I barely remember anything from after Bronnie showed up." Cyrus frowned a bit. "Do you remember if I did anything...stupid?"

Black Duvet

"Really? Wow.." Angie blinked, processing this information. "I wonder if most babies are like that. Then again, probably not.. still, she sounds like a joy to take care of.."

She blinked again and furrowed her brow as Maddie tried to copy her. "Silly girl," she said, ruffling her hair. "Um.. yeah.. I.. I'm fine. Perfectly," she cast a glance at Cy, "fine. Yes.

".. oh! Hello," Angie said, raising a hand in greeting to Ala. She was too grateful for words for the well-timed distraction that the lady posed.

Sayuri_Nitta

Rhiannon giggled at Caroline;
'Nice to meet you,' she pointed at Cyrus.
'With this guy - well I keep trying,' she leaned over in her seat and wrapped an arm around his shoulders, giving him a one-armed hug.
'I dont remember honestly. Like I said - we were all talking and thats about the last thing I remember clearly.'

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala looked towards the young lady who greeted her "Hi there" she smiled and pushed the shoulder of the carrier off her shoulder so Surion was supported in her rms and lifted the corner of it to see if he was awake yet

caroline_cupcake

Caroline giggled almost going into a 'back in the day' speech. "Ooo?." She winked at Cyrus. "The bathroom looks free." Hmm, what a good influence she was.

Pink Lemonade

"You just hope you get to be a lucky one with an easy little one." She said with a shrug, deep down soooo happy that she had an easy one.

Maddie, giggiling again as her hair was ruffled, was still fascinated with the sound that came out of the lady, so she kept trying to repeat it. Smiling, after each attempt and looking toward her to see if she had won the game yet.

As soon as Angie greeted the other woman, both Pink and Maddie looked toward her. "Hello!" Pink said with a wave just as Maddie focused on the baby in the woman's lap, reaching her paws out towards it and making little grabby hands.

Jiora

Cyrus didn't pull away when Rhi draped an arm around him. It wasn't as if she were going to try to kiss him in front of all these people. "Yeah.. Angie and me don't remember much either."

He gawked at Caroline for a few moments, his brain taking it's sweet time to process the meaning behind her comment. With a great sputter, he threw up one hand as though to fend her off. "Uh..no thanks, lady!"

And there was his blush again. He was doomed to be red the entire time he was here, it seemed.

Sayuri_Nitta

'Well I'm sure you just passed out and slept,' she said, keeping her arm around him and chuckling at Caroline's comment. Until Cyrus made his exclamation. She let go of him and chewed hard on her bottom lip feeling - hurt maybe. She wasnt sure. She forced a smile and said to Caroline;
'Nah - I'm not pretty enough for Cyrus or something,' she waved her hand as if that was nothing to her.

caroline_cupcake

Caroline chuckled at Cyrus blushing. "It's Caroline, nice to meet you." She leaned over a bit, placing her other hand on her belly as she stretched out her other for him to shake. Caroline smiled at B.L.Masonic as she noticed her.

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion was in fact waking up and Ala st him up on her lap "Hello" she greeted the mother, and gave the infant a wave "Hello little one"

Surion looked at the paws reaching towards him "Aaahhppfftt?" he looked at her curiously, his tail moved around his side over his leg as he sat in his mother's lap

Black Duvet

"I'll pray every night," she said, giggling, but quickly shut up when she realized what a small corner she was backing herself into. Right. Not touching that one again.

Instead she busied herself by conveniently noticing the other woman's child. Cute baby #2. She simply gave a small smile.

The other side of the room ... did not exist. Nope. And she didn't hear anything extremely weird from over there at all. Not. At. All.

caroline_cupcake

Caroline gawked and put a hand on Rhi's shoulder. "Pssh, You're gorgeous and if he doesn't see that... I know a lot of guys, ones that will treat you like a REAL woman." She whispered in her ear with a chuckle.

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania looks around before slipping into the clinic. She pushes her hair from her face and bites her bottom lip looking around. She smiles when she doesn't see anyone she knows that you tell her mother she was here.

Fixing her darkblue elven gown she heads over to some empty chais and takes a seat searching though her bag hoping to find something she could read to keep herself busy with.

Jiora

Wait, what? He frowned at Rhiannon in confusion, ignoring Caroline's extended hand for the most part. She was acting weird again. He knew he must have done something wrong again. "Not what? I just don't like anyone yet, Rhi," he whined.

Pink Lemonade

Pink laughed at Angie's comment. She then turned back to the other mother with baby. "I should introduce myself, especially because my child seems to want to check if yours is fuzzy. My name's Pink and this is Maddie." She said, indicating the little bear child in her lap who was making the grabby hands at the other.

Maddie tilted her head when the child talked and then squeed happily. At least, another baby that talked, Just. Like. Her. Her eyes moved to his tail and focused in on it. Her own little fluff of a tail moved happidly, sticking out from the whole in her diaper.

Sayuri_Nitta

She chuckled a little at Caroline;
'Well thanks - but I dont want other guys..' she clapped a hand over her mouth and blushed furiously. What the heck was up with her that she was blurting that out? She ducked her head down and waited for the flush to leave her cheeks.

caroline_cupcake

Caroline nodded and bit her lip then ducked down beside Rhi. "You just wait; I know how it feels, kind of. Maybe, if I wasn't such a swinger but, give it time?" She was never good at advice, but Caroline lifted her head and looked at Cyrus for a second then down at her hands, she felt like he was hiding something or maybe it was confusion.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala smiled "I'm Alatariel, you can just call me Ala though, everyone does, and this is my son Surion, I doubt he's fuzzy" she said with a chuckle indicating her little dragonic son

Surion razzed and blew bubbles and reached towards Maddie his little dragons tail stayed lazily on his black panted leg

Jiora

Cyrus suddenly realized he might've preferred taking his chances with Angie instead of Rhiannon. Things here were just getting worse and worse it seemed. For him, at least.

He ducked his head a bit and studied the floor, mouth opening and closing in a wonderful mimic of a fish. She didn't want any other guys? He wasn't that great or anything, even! "Er..."

How exactly did one respond to something like that?

Sayuri_Nitta

She let out a great sigh, bringing her head back up and looking around the clinic. She noticed Tinania and managed a wave for her, then put her hand down and looked at Cyrus;
'I know. You keep saying that. But how do you know you dont like anyone unless you try stuff?'
She turned away a little from him and shrugged at Caroline.
'But your pregnant. Doesnt that mean your in a steady relationship?'

Black Duvet

Angie tilted her head slightly, watching the two interact, then tapped her temple. Now to find another good distraction. Suffering a temporary memory lapse, she looked around.

-- AAAAH. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM DID EXIST. NOOO..

.. oh.. she never noticed how interesting her shoes were. She took one of them off and begun to examine the sole closely.

Rock bottom.

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiles when she found her spell book on water. Pulling it out she flips though the pages reading over the different spells and what they needed.

She glances up looking to see who all was here. She smiles alittle when Rhi waves to her, she waves back. She ducks her head behind the book and winces. So much for not being seen.

caroline_cupcake

Now, Caroline began to sigh. "Well, not exactly, er...yuh no. It's kind of a long story." She glanced up at the ceiling then back at Rhi with a wary smile. "Well, I am a dream fae and this is my friend White's baby also, she infact has a love--boyfriend. And well, I went into her dreams one night...let's say we had a fun time at the clinic...Hehe." She put both her hands on her belly. "Plus, I'm not the type to love or go out with exactly, only one person...Ah, never mind you don't want to hear my nonsense." Caroline waggled her hand a bit.

Jiora

Cyrus blinked at Rhiannon, looking rather confused. "Trying stuff is nice, I guess...but I wanna wait til I know I like someone to try it." Not that there was really much point in that anymore, but argh! He wasn't thinking about that! It hadn't happened. He was sure Angie would agree it he asked her.

..which he would do later. ..much later.

Pink Lemonade

"Ala IS much easier to say. I have problems with a lot of letters in names." Pink said earnestly. She looked over at Angie and giggled. "Checking if your feet stink?" She asked, trying to surpress more of her giggles. She then took Maddie out of her lap and placed her on the ground, letting her go whichever way she wanted.

Maddie first butt scooted, almost perfecting that talent, towards Ala and her baby. Amazed at the bubble blowing baby she puffed up her cheeks and blew, trying to make bubbles which only resulted in her face turning different colors. After a few moments of doing that and failing she turned to see what Angie was doing. She giggled and picked up her foot, wiggiling it too and fro in her paws at both the baby and the lady.

Sayuri_Nitta

Rhiannon raised an eyebrow;
'How odd,' she exclaimed.
'But I guess if the baby is going to be loved its okay,' she smiled a little, then shut her eyes at Cyrus's words.
'Yeah yeah I get it. You dont like me,' she scuffed the floor with the tip of a boot.

Black Duvet

"Nope," she said somewhat distractedly, but putting her shoe down and looking up. "... Just making sure I still have all my toes. Can't be too careful."

She giggled at Maddie and wriggled her toes in response.

caroline_cupcake

Caroline nodded. "Well, yup...I would love her as if she were my lover, well maybe not quite...but hopefully you get the point." She tilted her head a bit, she was confused, nothing to say. "Do you guys want to talk or something, because I don't want to get in both of you guys way." Caroline nodded and put all of her belongings on her lap as if she were ready to scoot down towards Ala, Angie, pink and the babies.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala chuckled and lifted her son, puled teh blanket off her lap and onto the floor and placed her son atop of it on his belly

Surion lifted his head looking at Maddie "Aaahhppffttt" he said kicking his little legs happily

Jiora

Well that had helped tons. "Sorry." He sighed and slouched in his chair, closing his eyes and letting his ears flop to either side. Maybe if he just sat here and didn't do or say anything then things would get better. Or at least not get any worse.

Sayuri_Nitta

'You dont need to go Caroline. Not unless we are boring you,' she quipped, then she blinked.
That was weird - her werewolf ears grew up out of her hair she was so surprised. She looked over at Cyrus;
'Did you just apologise to me?' she said, her voice radiating shock. He never apologised to her, she was sure this was a first.

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania looks up frowning, she stands grabbing her items and walks over towards the little kids "Um. hello Ms. Ala, hello Ms. Pink, hello Angie. Is it alright if I join you?" she waves at the little kids then smiles to them all.

Pink Lemonade

Pink giggled. "That's true! Sometimes they do magically disappear, tricky little things!"

Maddie kicked her legs in her sitting position happily at both Angie and Surion. "Gwa Gwa Gwa!" She spurted out happily, flinging her feet to and fro.

Pink turned and smilied at Tinania. "Tinania, right?" She asked, double checking to make sure she had the name right. "And of course, plop yourself down and play!"

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala looked up "Hello Tinania, no of course not please do" she smiled at the familar teenager

Surion blinked and grinned before blowing more bubbles towards Maddie

Jiora

He cracked an eye open to peer warily at her. Was apologizing a bad thing? She wasn't going to suddenly smack him, was she? "Yeah... So..?" He tilted his head a bit and blinked at her. "Your ears are showing."

caroline_cupcake

"Ah, ok. Well, would you mind watching my stuff, just have to go to the pit?" Caroline wiggled her finger towards the bathroom as she began to stand up. "There we go." She stood up completely waggling a bit. Caroline did a fast little waddle to the bathroom and closed the door, who knew how long she would take now.

Sayuri_Nitta

'They are?' she reached up. Obviously she was still getting used to being able to change at will. She was just glad it wasnt her tail that sprouted. She flicked the ears.
'So they did.' she looked at him.
'So? So? Are you feeling okay? You never say sorry.' she remarked.

Black Duvet

Angie looked up with an expression of utmost glee upon the new distraction. "No, please! Join us!" She said, scooting over on the blanket to make room and pretending that she did not just sound like she was pleading, there.

She turned back to the baby and giggled, reaching out to tickle the bottom of one of her feet.

Jiora

"I'm fine. It's just..the hangover, I guess. Throwing me off." Yeah. That sounded like a good enough excuse. Maybe he should apologize more often if it was going to calm people down like this. Even if he still wasn't sure what he'd done wrong.

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiles and takes a seat next to Angie. Placing her bag down she waves to Surion and Maddie before looking to Angie. "So um, how are you feeling?" she pushes her hair from her face biting her bottom lip.

Sayuri_Nitta

The hangover was making him say this stuff?
'Yeah well I guess you wont be drinking like that again in a hurry huh?' she said quietly, lacing her fingers together and looking at her hands. Maybe that would explain Angie's weird behaviour. She had noticed that the girl kept looking over here and had at one time fallen over on her bottom.

Jiora

"Why would I if it's just gonna make me forget things and give me awful headaches? I mean, would you want to?" He dragged his fingers through his hair and threw a glance at the door as though trying to decide whether or not it'd be wise to risk a mad dash for freedom.

Sayuri_Nitta

'It depends on whether I thought there was something major that happened that I'd forgotten. Drinking is ok in a little dose,' she said, concentrating on making her wolven ears go away again.
'And you should drink water. It will help you.'

Jiora

"Yeah well..." He trailed off and frowned at the ceiling again. There weren't as many cracks up there to count as he'd hoped, it seemed. "My aunt gave me some awful tasting stuff that she said would help."

Sayuri_Nitta

He was hiding something. It was like she could somehow smell something different about him - which was a really weird thing to think but it was true. Well that was up to him.
'Stuff thats good for you is often bad tasting I think is how it goes.' she sighed.
'I really should go. I have...stuff,' she finished lamely. She couldnt talk to him - not after what she had said. And what he had said.

Black Duvet

She scratched her head at the question. "Well.. I guess I could be worse.. but I still feel a bit hung-over.. it's like my head's a fishbowl," she said as her eyebrow raised slightly, once again failing to describe it properly. "And.. I, um.. yeah. Are you feeling okay?"

Pink Lemonade

Maddie squealed with delight as one of her feets were tickled, kicking both of them back and forth, one almost hitting Angie in the face. She looked over to Surion, and always be reading to copy anything, rubber her fuzzy paw over one of his feets to make him giggle like her.

Jiora

"Well this stuff isn't really working very well," he grumbled. He glanced sidelong at her for a moment, finally shrugging and turning towards her with a nod. "Alright.. I'll..see you later then.."

Sayuri_Nitta

'Yeah bye,' she said, standing and walking away. Arrrgh, she shouted inside. He really was the most infuriatingly cute - no not cute! Annoying, annoying! she railed as she left the clinic.

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania laughs alittle "Beside feeling like I was sick the next day, then having my mom catch me and ground me, overall I'm okay, so long as my mother doesn't go looking for me..." she sighs and shakes her head "I have never been yelled at by my mother before, that was very interesting..."

Jiora

Cyrus lingered in the clinic for a few minutes after Rhiannon left. Maybe he could talk to Tinny...if she hadn't been over by that person who wasn't really there. In the end, he sighed and slipped out of the clinic as well. Maybe he'd just go hide in the arcade..

Black Duvet

"Whoa, there!" She backed out of the way of the incoming feet and giggled, trying to regain her balance. "Gonna be quite the powerhouse.."

Angie blinked as Rhiannon left, brow furrowing. She looked.. mad. Angie simply shrugged it off, however, chalking it up to Cyrus and turning back to Tinania. "Really? Hmm.." She scratched her head. "Well, I'm glad you're okay. You shouldn't stay out too too long, though, or she might notice you're gone.."

She blinked. "I don't think I've told you my name, have I? Well, either way, I'm Angie." She held out her hand.

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania glances over hearing the door opens. Frowning she looks to Angie. "Tinania my name, but you can call me Nani if you like..." she turns to look back toward the door then back to Angie."I'll be right back okay. I just need to go talk to someone." she stand and rushes towards the door and calls out "Cy!!! Hold on I need to talk to ya...."

Black Duvet

"Nani?" she blinked, watching blankly as she went. "..okay! I'll be here."

She stared down at her hands as her thumbs twiddled with one another, wondering how well it would go over with the others if she just lay down and went into a fetal position.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala sat and ran her hand along her son's back as he examined the people around him, they were all so different and they had him quite curious

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania sighs and turning she closed the doors heading back over to the group. She sat back down next to Angie "I should have went to talk to him when I had a chance. I just wanted to make sure he was okay..." she tilts her looking at Angie "Are you sure your okay Angie? I mean if you want to talk we can."

Pink Lemonade

Maddie harumphed in her own little way, giving a little pout and a noise like an elephant call, when the baby wasn't tickled. Maybe he wasn't tickilish. She looked over at Angie and kicked her feet a few times before resting them on the ground. She wanted more tickles!

Black Duvet

She blinked twice, then tried to twist her mouth into a smile. "I'm fine. Just.. yeah. Something happened. Dunno if I can talk to anyone about it yet, but.. thanks for being concerned. I think everything will iron out.."

Angie grinned and turned to Maddie again. "Tickle monster! Yaaa!" She reached out and tickled her tummy quickly, then her sides.

Pink Lemonade

Maddie squealed in delight, swaying every which way in her giggiling fit. "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" She squealed audibly, grinning inbetween her giggles. This lady was sure a fun lady!

Pink laughed as she watched her daughter. "She sure knows how to command attention from everyone!"

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion blew bubbles happily kicking his little feet which hid inside little sockies an arm reaching for the furry tail attatched to the baby in front of him

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania giggles at the young little baby, she lays on her stomach and makes funny faces at Maddie then giggles. "Babies are so cute. Now I can see why mom likes having little kids around the house." she continues to make funny faces at Maddie. She glances over to Surion and waves to him before turning to grab her key chain from her bag. She squuezes it so it makes some noise then smiles hoping it would catch Surion attention.

Pink Lemonade

Maddie waved her arms about, happy from all the attention and turned to Surion, giggiling as he kicked his little feet. She got all happy that he was tickilish and wiggled her little bear tail in delight. She watched as his arm reached out to her and she tried to scoot a little closer to him amongst all the tickles she was recieving, trying not to wet her diaper in the process of it all.

Black Duvet

After attacking her stomach one last time, Angie grinned and drew back. "She knows how to use her cuteness to her advantage, at the very least," she said, tugging on her sleeve and glancing at the clock.

"Oh.. it's getting late," she said, frowning slightly. "I should get home. It was nice meeting you, miss Pink," she said, bowing her head, "and you," she grinned, reaching forward again to tickle Maddie one last time.

She turned to Tinania after that. "Can we meet up sometime later? It was nice talking to you," she said, nodding slightly.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala noticed Surion's reach and glanced to Pink "Just to warn you anything he grabs he pulls towards his mouth..." she placed Surion's stuffed dragon beside him in an effort to distract him from the tail

Surion however was having no part of the toy right now, somthing furry and wiggly was now within his reach as he took hold of hte tail , mouth open and tried to pull it towards himself

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiels to Angie and nods "Of course if you ever need to find me I'll be at the book store in barton. I'm always there if I'm not here." she leans over and hugs Angie "I hope everything iron out okay, and if you need to talk I', here okay..." she smiles and pulls away.

She giggles watching the two babies. She remembered doing this alot to Virenda and DRac when she was young, grabbing there tails. She lays back down on her stomach her wings fluttering.

Pink Lemonade

Pink smiled to Tinania. "I always love having little bundles of joy waddle around my house."

Maddie, excited to see another playmate giggled more as Tinania made faces at her. This one was a funny one too. She scrunched up her face and twisted it about every which way, trying to immitate the faces she was given, causing her to laugh even more.

She then sensed that her lady friend was leaving. "Gwaaaaa!" She resounded, waving her arms at her before digging in her diaper. She soon pulled out a present and handed it to Angie.



She then felt herself getting pulled and somethign rather slobbery on her tail. She wiggled it back and forth before turning around and noticing it was Surion. She giggled, understand him because she too liked to put things in her mouth.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala turned to Tinania "That reminds me, we'll need you to babysit soon, or at least take Surion for a walk for a while kinda thing soon, after Torvil wakes up that is..." she sighed

"Aaaahhhhhhnyanynaynya" Surion said as he succeeded in making his target even more drooly

Black Duvet

She smiled and nodded in appreciation. "Thanks. I'll see you later, then."

Angie got up to leave, but was quickly disctracted by Maddie. "Huh? Whu..?" She blinked rapidly, but took the bamboo, examining it quietly. A smile came over her face. "Thanks, sweetie. Next time I see you, I'll be sure to give you something in return," she grinned, poking the baby's nose. "Bye!" She waved and banged into the door of the clinic.

"..." Okay, she had to start paying more attention to where she was going.. She opened the door and departed.

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiles and nods "Okay just let know when Ms. Ala" she turns to look at Pink "Um you too Ms. Pink, I be happy to babysit if you ever need one." she winces as she heard Angie hit the door then waves to her "Later Angie"

She turns backs toward the babies "Ms. Ala what wrong with Mr. Torvil? Is he okay?" her wings were fluttering fast with worry, she didn't like it when her friends weren't okay.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala shrugged "I honestly don't know Tinania, he's been asleep since we got home from the cliffs a couple days ago.. I'm worried about that" she sighed

Pink Lemonade

Maddie waved goodbye to Angie, smiling to her, before getting more slobbery around her backside. She proceeded to giggle as she waved her tail too and fro, kicking her feet a little in her tickilish state. "Gweeeeeeeeeee!"

Pink waved goodbye to Angie, giggiling as she hit the wall before walking out. She turned to Tinaina and explained, "She has bamboo that is her favorite treats but we found some special bamboo, patterened like she is, brown, for her grizzly bear-ness, and panda, for her panda bear-ness. She likes to give that to the ones that play with her."

((*adds more*))

"And a babysitter would be lovely some time, I will take you up on that." Pink told Tinania with a nod. She then looked up at Ala. "Maybe it was just a lot of exertion, you know how men tire so easily!"

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania smiles and nods "Ah I see, aren't you such a sweet little baby." she waves her finger at Maddie as she looks to Ala "I'm sure he okay Ms. Ala, my mother went though the same thing when I was a kid, she slept for about 2 week straight. Rinin said it was because her body needed the rest. Maybe that what Mr. Torvil needs." she was trying her best to make Ala smile.

Tinania squeeks when she hears her cell phone ring from inside her bag, she turns and pulls it out of her bag, she frowns and shakes her head when she see it Celia. She places it back into her bag and laughs.

Edit:

Tinania smiles to Pink "Okay well if you ever need to get ahold of me I'm either here or at the Barton Book store. I would love babysitting Maddie. I bet we will have tones of fun." she makes silly faces at the child again.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala nodded "I hope so, it's really not like him to sleep this long, mind you he doesn't sleep all that much at all his body doesn't exactly require it..."

Surion finally let go of hte now very drooly tail and rolled once over onto his back he waved his arms happily and kicked his feetblowing many drooly bubbles

Pink Lemonade

Maddie nods to Tinania when she says she is sweet, giggiling too at the faces. She wiggles her tail as if to shake off the drool when Surion is done with it before flopping on her back and waving her arms and legs all around in the ari.

Pink, smiling down at her daughter looked to Tinania. "I bet you would! I haven't met any of the other older clinic children, but if they are like you, I'm sure they are very responsible and good with the younger ones." She finished with a nod.

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania blushes a deep red and smiles "Yea they are." she frowns when she hears her phone ring again, pulling it out she answer it. "Yea Celia.....WHAT?!?!? Okay I'm on my way home..." she closes her cell phone and frowns gathering her items "I'm sorry to cut this short but I have to head home. I hope to see you both again soon." she nods to Maddie then looks ot Ala "Don't worry Ms. Ala I'm sure Mr. Torvil fine..."

Pulling on her bag she stands and bows to them "I will see you all again real soon." she grabs her cell phone from her bag and dials Celia as she waves to the little kids before turning on her heels to head toward the door.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala waved to Tinania "Talk to you soon" she said

Surion looked up towards the other baby "Aaaapppffttt" he says happily seeing her doing the same thing as he for the most part

Pink Lemonade

Pink waved goodbye to Tinania. "I hope to see you again soon!"

Maddie continued waving her arms and legs in the air til she heard the door open. She sat up rather quickly and looked around. OH NOES! Where had Tinania gone? She saw her heading for the door and thought fast. Not knowing how to crawl yet she ploped down on her side and began rolling toward the door. "Gwaaaaaaaaa!" She shouted after her, trying to get her to stop.

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion went quiet hearing the loud shout, he looked ready to cry, he still did not like really loud voices

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania turns and giggles seeing Maddie rolling after her, she bends down and picks the little child up "I'll see you again Maddie, I just need to head home for a bit..." she pokes the little one in the nose as she walks back over and hands Maddie to Pink.

Seeing Surion face she leans down and kisses the little child forehead then bows to them again. "I will see you all soon, I promise." she waves to Maddie and waits to see if the child would let her leave this time.

Pink Lemonade

Maddie smiled as she got picked up and reached around in her diaper. She promply took out her present she was rolling after to give her.



"Sweeee!" She said, showing it off before handing it to her and going to her mother, who put her back next to Surion because she was reaching for him. She gently patted him on the head, sensing he was sad and wanted to make him better.

Krista DarkAngel

Tinania blushes taking the gift "Aww thank you Maddie." she frowns when she hears her phone ring again. She bows to them all then turning she rusn to the door. swinging it open and dashes down the sidewalks heading off towards the forest.

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion looked at Tinania then Maddie his face slowly returning to a smile. reaching towards her paw that patted his head

Pink Lemonade

Maddie smiled, happy that Surion was happy. She quickly withdrew her paw to her chest giggiling when she saw his paw going for it. She didn't think she would like the soggy feeling on her paw.

Alatariel Rakamash

Ala chuckled "Well I should get going I want to go check on my mate" she said gathering up her son and his belongings into his carrier

Pink Lemonade

"Oh ok. I hope he wakes up soon." Pink said. "I think I'm going to stay a bit longer myself, I have the time so I might as well use it." She said with a laugh.

Maddie, yet again, reached into her diaper and pulled out a piece of bamboo. But with this one she had SPECIFIC instructions. Yes it was edible, but she didn't want him to eat it. She first held out the piece of bamboo, then pointed to her mouth, and shook her head back and forth as if saying no eating. She held the bamboo out again and then held it to her chest, rocking back and forth as if saying, love it. She then gave it to Surion hoping he would understand.

Alatariel Rakamash

Surion didn't understand he was to young to quite get it, however Ala figured it out and resued the piece of bamboo from her son's mouth "I'll make sure it's safe Maddie," she said with a smile then waved goodbye to them and headed out hte door

Ala's Journal

Dear Diary

Went to the clinic with Surion again, I couldn't really focus on much though, Torvil is STILL asleep and that worries me to no end. Surion met and played with another infant while we were there, her name was Maddie, she gave Surion a gift as we left, I put it on the upper shelf of his shelves for safekeeping

Torvil wakes up + tail surprise?!?

Ala sat in her home's living room staring at the fireplace, her face was filled with worry. Her son lay on his back on his blanket i the middle of the floor , she could just see him there laying and playing with his dragon

CRASH! Loud vehement swearing and the sound of someone fighting with bed-sheets issued forth from the bedroom. The voice was Torvil's, and the crash had been him falling from the bed as he'd awoken from is long sleep.

Ala was very startled, she scooped up Surion and hurried to the bedroom to find the source of the crash

Torvil stood up rubbing his head. "Oh my head... And my a**!" He growled, not noting the suddenly thrashing tail that had sprouted in his changing sleep.

Ala's eyes were wide as she stared at the sight before her. Surion rested on her hip as she did

He brushed his hair, his ears, not pointed like Ala's where very visible through his hair. "What is it love? How long have I been asleep?" He yawned, his tail swaying lazily.

"Almost ... three days...." she stuttered her eyes fixated on the movement behind him

"Holy hell! I might have Missed something!" He growled, his tail flicking about and smacking him in the back of the head. He whipped around. "What the hell was that?!"

Ala pointed with her tail as both her hands held their son and she was rather speechless

Torvil turned again and noted where she pointed he looked down and his eyes went wide. "Uhhh, how did that get there..."

"I don't know" Ala finally got out

"ADAAHHHDAHHHDAHHH" Surion was waving his little arms towards his father

Torvil smiled and walked to Surion, using his tail to brush his son's face with a bright smile. "Hey there... Daddy miss anything while he was sleeping?"

"Yes...." Ala said biting her lip her eyes threatening to spill over with tears

Torvil brushed her cheek with his hand. "What did I miss?" He sighed softly, sadly.

"Your son learned to roll over" she said, but the skill wasn't what was causing her to cry, it was more her relief that he had finally woken up

Torvil smiled softly and kissed her just as softly. "Too bad I missed it huh?" He sighed again and rested his forehead against hers, his tail softly brushing Surion's cheek as his hand caressed His wife's face.

Surion got his clutches on his father's tail and it automatically went into his mouth to be gummed on.

Ala tears finally spilt over and she clung to him

Torvil held her close, brushing his hair. "Sorry..." He whispered softly. "I'm so very sorry I made you worry... I know why I fell asleep... Now... For that long..." He hugged her tight and brushed her hair, and then turned his head to smile at Surion.

Ala buried her face in his chest not wanting to let go

Torvil just held her and started to hum. "Ala... I love you very much, and I am still very upset about sleeping that long... But you do need to let me go so I can go get something to eat... Or your neck is forfeit..."

Ala sniffled and nodded letting go of him and backing away a step

Surion started up at his father "Nyanyanyanya" came his little voice as he gummed the tail

Torvil smiled and brushed Surion's cheek, his tail slipping away. He stopped, grabbed the back of Ala's head, pulling her into a strong kiss, putting all of his love and want of her into it, before breaking and running to the kitchen, were the sound of mass activity was soon heard.

Ala looked down at her son "Crib time for you" she said carrying him over to the crib and placing him down in it before leaving the room and following her mate to the kitchen

Torvil was cooking about five things at once, and doing a good job at it too. He had so much going on he didn't notice Ala joining him.

Ala stood in the kitchen door for a time, realizing she wasn't being noticed she sighed quietly and turned leaving the room and walking into the living room and sitting down again

"Ala..." Torvil said softly as she sat down, his voice carrying just enough. "Come here please... I need you..."

Ala looked towards the kitchen and with only a moments hesitation got up again and headed back tot he kitchen stopping in the doorway

Torvil was standing at the stove. "Hug..." He murmured. "I missed you..." He said softly. "I need you..." Red drops were falling into the pot he was stirring.

Ala walked over to him wrapping her arms around him from behind

Torvil's tail slithered and wrapped her waist tightly, pulling her closer even.

Ala cried softly into his back she didn't want that to ever happen again

Torvil stopped cooking, turning everything off to cool a little so he could eat. He unwrapped her waist and turned, pulling her close and lifting her chin to kiss her strongly, wishing never again to have the change take him...

Ala held him close one hand behind his neck holding him in the kiss

Torvil's tail brushed her back, it was much longer than hers and seemed much more agile and the tip was slightly smaller than hers. His tail then wrapped itself around her waist again, just below his arms.

Ala finally broke the kiss and simply buried her face into his chest her own tail too looping around them both

Torvil's tail snaked it's way around hers, enwrapping it and sliding against it as he slowly brushed her hair with his fingers. "I love you so much..." He murmured. "I will never let that happen again..."

"So worried" she said quietly sweating not to let go of him

Torvil hugged her tighter. "I'm sorry..." He buried his face in her hair. "I'm so sorry..." He hugged her tighter and started to sob softly into her hair.

Ala nodded "you're forgiven" she whispered

Torvil smiled softly and still cried, more from the sadness of missing something that Surion had learned. "Can we... uh... put Surion down later and have him roll over... And pretend it was the first time?"

Ala nodded still not wanting to let go of him at all

Torvil smiled softly. "Thanks..." He murmured, lifting her chin to give her a soft kiss before holding her closer. "I don't want you to let go..."

"Nor me you love" she whispered she could hear Surion talking in his crib but that didn't change that fact

Torvil picked her up and walked her to their bedroom. "I'm scared to sleep now..." He said softly, sitting them next to the crib so he could watch Surion.

"I dont think I got a lot of sleep myself the last couple days" she told him

Surion looked up at them waving his arms around

Torvil smiled weakly. "Surion seems to be taking it better than the both of us..." He murmured.

"Don't think he quite knew the difference" she said softly

Surion blew bubbles watched them for a few minutes then rolled to look at them from a different angle

Torvil gasped softly and beamed, hugging Ala close. "He rolled! Did you see that he rolled!" He grinned. "That's my boy..." He hugged Ala tighter and nuzzled her neck softly Torvil rolled them and pushed her roughly to the bed, growling still. "How... With... Sur?" He grunted slowly.

Ala opened her eyes and looked up at him "Wha?"

Torvil moved his head toward the crib. "Want... Take... Sur... Awake..." He growled low and huskily.

"Put him in the playpen then... it's set up in his room" she said softly

Torvil nodded and got up, moving quickly to the crib and pulling Surion out. He smiled, entering father mode, even if his pants told a different story. He walked Surion out into his room and put him down in his playpen with some toys and made sure he could hear him from where he was before running back to the bed room.

*Some time later*

Surion could be heard squawking if one were to listen for him

Torvil panted. "Surion..." he muttered.

"He doesn't like... loud voices" she said panting heavily

Torvil nodded softly. "Door open... He can hear us..." He grunted, tossing on his robe and heading to comfort their son.

Ala nodded and just lay relaxing letting Torvil comfort his son, something he hadn't done in a few days

Torvil picked up Surion and rocked him softly, singing a soft lullaby

Surion slowly calmed and reached up at his dad "Aaahhhdaahdaaahdahhhdaaahh"

Torvil smiled and carried him back to his and Ala's room.

Ala lay sprawled on the bed still basking in the feelings and not wanting to move.

Surion reached for his father's white hair trying to catch a lock

Torvil chuckled and lay Surion down in his crib before going to Ala.

Ala purred softly and turned her head to look at him before rolling o her side and cuddling closer to him

Torvil purred softly, running his hand up and down her body.

"I missed you" she said softly

Torvil sighed. "I missed you too..." he held her close. "Though I did not know I was gone so long..."

"Too long" she replied barely audible to the naked ear

Torvil hugged her tighter and nuzzled her. "I shall strive not to do it again..." He murmured.

Ala's eyes closed as she cuddled very closely, she hadn't been lying when she told him she hadn't been sleeping the previous couple days

Torvil brushed her hair and whispered. "Sleep..."

Ala nodded slowly and did just that

Torvil smiled and lay awake, not needing the sleep.

Surion watched his parents through the side of his crib then stuck his thumb in his mouth cling to his blanket and dozed off

Torvil smiled and got slowly, he'd not eaten yet, so he decided to do just that.

Torvil's Journal

Dear Journal,

My eyes still hurt a bit from sleeping so long. I have a tail now... And pointed ears. I find that strangly comforting. I'm slowly matching Ala's type, but at the same time... Not. My teeth are still the same, thankfully, but I've found my tastes sliding towards more interesting things as well. It's nothing new, the Change does interesting things... This is my fourth, and hopefully my last Change. But you never know... You never know...
