Usyraz had once again become distracted by pretty colors. The runestones reminded her a little bit of that colorful forest they'd wandered past once upon a time in Vrek'mar, and she just -had- to investigate. In her saner moments, she often wondered how Ki'fel had the patience to put up with her wild tangents, but at that moment... she was more caught up in the sparklies. -All- the sparklies. She was literally flitting around the area as carefully as she could, trying her best not to collide with any unexpected trees. And just as suddenly as she'd begun, she'd stopped, blinking a few times and perking up as if she heard something - looking up and through the tops of the trees with surprise. "... Dask?"
Ki'fel Inloilfrey had followed calmly walking to the middle of the strange forest. At first he was content to just stand there watching his beautiful mate flit from spot to spot enjoying the area till something caught his attention.. rather bluntly. A fairy came right up into his face causing him to flinch. He waved his hand carefully trying to shoo her away only to find another one was at his wing buffing one of the scales so she could look at her reflection within it. He attempted to shake her loose from his wing with an exasperated huff. "Get off you gnat." He grumbled only to find the fairy from before grabbing at his lip as if to attempt to see his teeth. He huffed and gave a rather sleepy bored of this expression till he heard Usy's voice and flit his wings violently to shoo the fairies away. In all seriousness they were gone instantly due to his sudden change in personality. "Is she alright? Do we need to go to her?" He asked clearly and loudly.
Usyraz turned toward him in time to watch the fairies scatter like cockroaches in a spotlight, giggling into her hand. That probably was at least one hint that there wasn't danger. Still, she spoke up to answer him, nearly skipping over to him until she came to a stop near him with a smile. "She's fine. At least... I didn't -feel- anything actually wrong. But she's asking us to come back if we can." She looked at him for a moment, and even though she likely knew full well that he was probably more than happy to get the hell away from a bunch of fairies, she asked him anyway... maybe because she was a little amused. "Are you alright to go?"
Ki'fel Inloilfrey relaxed his wings slightly and there would be sounds and spots behind the trees where fairies would poke out to peer at them. He blinked at her question.. could not help but let the gleam in his eyes show through as she got closer. "Of course, Itov. When you are ready. I know you love these places... and just.. you know.. so as it is a visit and not to live in." he said looking around wary of being blindsided by another fairy. His eyes turned and focused on her and he stepped forward. "I have all the beauty i need to see right here." he said reaching out to wrap an arm around her and pull her into a kiss if she allowed. "In front of me all around me and in my heart forever." He said in a gravely soft tone.
Usyraz pressed her lips together a moment and smiled. "You know I wouldn't force you to live someplace you wouldn't want to live in..." Her voice trailed off as she listened to him before affectionately returning his kiss. For a brief time, she was stunned into silence by his words. The color rushed to her cheeks and she smiled wide enough to cause her eyes to squint a little, her nose wrinkling along with it. "You..." Struggling with words, she turned her head to brush her cheek to his - something she likely did often when she was happy with him - and she beamed, growling playfully and murmuring back to him. "Si itov wux..." She smiled at him another time, bringing a hand up to trail her fingers through his hair if she could. ... She may have been momentarily distracted from going anywhere.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey nuzzled right back till his face was pressed against the nape of her neck and shoulder. He took in the scent of her hair and smiled planting a kiss against any bare flesh he could several times before he responded. "Si itov wux..." he gave her a soft hugging squeeze and was content to stay that way till he heard the flapping of tiny little wings starting to flutter ever closer. He turned and looked up at them, not really with an angry expression but perhaps one of annoyance. And in a possessive manner.. as if to tell the fairies off, he raised his wings up and enclosed them within their own world for a moment. His way of saying 'Mine' without voice it. He turned his attention back to her and gave a soft sigh. "Perhaps we should go then, Itov? Find out what she wants and tell her of the place we found?"
Usyraz unintentionally formed the hint of a light rumbling in her throat for a few seconds - almost as if 'purring' - before she realized he'd cocooned them in his wings. With a secret smile, she nodded; pulled back only enough to take hold of his clawed hands, ready to depart whenever he was. "Probably a good idea..." Her voice trailed off as she kept her gaze locked on him, admiring him for as long as she could before they actually took off.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey slowly let down his wings as he peeked over them. He did not feel the fairies that were attached to them right away. Thinking they had got the hint he folded them up hearing a squeak or two of protest before they fluttered off. "I .." he huffs. "Stupid little things." he grumbled and gripped her hand softly before crouching to lift up into the air flapping his wings roughly to get his bulk up off the ground. Another fairy flailing wildly as she fell from his wing, one he would not see as he was focused on getting up into the air with his mate.
Usyraz heard them before she actually saw them flying off. She couldn't help but let out a sudden, full laugh, undeniably amused by the way the much smaller creatures had flocked to him. "I wonder what it is about you -they- like so much..." Still, she caught onto his annoyance and didn't try to delay them any longer. She grinned instead, taking to the air with him and snorting as she just barely caught on that another had gone sailing away from him from the movement of his wings.
----------------------
Ki'fel Inloilfrey landed heavy and let his wings sink limply to his sides for a moment as they relaxed from the journey. He turned and held his hand for her to grab while she landed. His eyes scanning the area and not catching sight of anyone right away. "Are you sure things seemed alright?" he asked, part of him on guard. Slowly he lifted his wings back up and folded them to his back. "It is really quiet here." he said softly and looked around. "No sign of a fight though.. of any kind.. so that is good."
Usyraz took hold of his land as she came close enough to do so, her landing contrasting to his with a light touch of the pads of her feet to the ground. Her attention drifted around and she frowned with a thoughtful hum. "It's been quiet for a while, but ... if it's been -this- quiet, I can't remember it..." Still, her head shook. "No... I think if there'd been a fight, she would have shown more distress. She -almost- seemed a little happy, but... she's been more cheerful in general lately, I think." She gently squeezed his hand as she looked around, calling out in the hopes that someone would hear - having not caught sight of anyone either. "Dask? Are you here?"
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam looked up from her book as soon as she felt others nearby. The familiar voice caused her to perk up, and she smiled. That didn't take very long at all, really. Stretching, she set her book aside and pushed herself to a stand. "Over here!" She moved to try and remove the visual barrier of the large pillar that had kept her hidden from them, looking between them both with a warm smile. Oh boy. She was still in that 'my babies are all grown up' mode... partially.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey turned in time to see Sili emerge from behind a pillar in the gazebo. He gave a broad grin and started to guide Usy, though if she wanted to rush ahead he would not hold her back. "Ava'yorn Sililuuth!" he said on his way. "How are things?" Though his tone, expression and body language suggested he was in a relaxed state, his eyes would inspect Sili and look around the area for any chance happenings with an intruder. Once he was satisfied that there were no intruders or danger around his smile became more relaxed. "You look wonderful." he said softly to Sili, though there might be a hint of pity shown seeing her scars. He knew she did not remember how she got them.. and he wasn't about to remind her himself. Though it ached his heart to see such a beautiful dragon, especially his mate's mother, scared up so.
Usyraz sure enough bolted in the same direction, her wings tucked back tighter to try and make sure she didn't somehow smack Ki'fel with them as she went darting through. "Dask!" She came to an abrupt stop and smiled, her weight shifting from foot to foot. As her mate spoke, she nodded as if to agree with his words, taking hold of his arm again once they'd both reached Sili. "We heard you calling and came as soon as we could. What is it? Are you okay?" She suddenly had her own concerns, though she wasn't as ... quiet about them as Ki'fel had been about his.
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam didn't seem to notice the look that Ki'fel gained for a moment, or maybe she decided not to acknowledge it. Instead, she grinned as they came forward, taking a few steps forward. "Ava'yorn, and thank you! I -feel- wonderful. I'm happy to see you both..." Her attention drifted between them thoughtfully, giving a slow nod at the questions. "Of course! It's been fairly quiet up here. But... I told someone I would try and call you back so they could see you and speak to you..."
Ki'fel Inloilfrey tilted his head and looked to Usy. Part of him wondering if perhaps her father had come back to speak with her. He knew that, in some ways, Usy was fond of her father and knew how sad she was that he left without much word. "Well, I hope we did not keep -them- waiting?" He said turning his attention back to Sili as if hoping she would let them in on the secret of who it was.
Usyraz turned her head at about the same time, likely to exchange a glance with him and a shrug of her shoulders. The momentary uncertainty caused her to inch uneasily in closer to Ki'fel, her brow furrowing. She still looked relatively cheerful, but now she was puzzled on top of it. "Yes... I hope so too. ... Are you going to tell us who it is, or are we going to have to guess?"
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam shook her head. "No, no. I think it's done her well to get some rest while I waited to see if you would be able to turn up..." Well, that was one hint. She looked closely between them as if measuring reactions as she spoke, practically ready to plug her ears in case her youngest went into squeaker mode. "Fo and Dom are here. Your sister mentioned wanting to speak with you before she left again." As much as she wanted to divulge -why- she wanted to speak with her... she didn't want to take that away from her eldest. I was Fo's place to tell them; not her own.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey raised an eyebrow. "Haven't seen much of those two even when we are here. Is she well?" he asked without thinking that perhaps Fo wanted to tell them herself. "Dom keeping up with his training?" Then a thought hit him and he paused for a moment keeping that thought to himself and wrapping an arm around Usy. Though it was an amusing thought, he would not have an expression of more than that calm sleepy face he always seemed to have.
Usyraz widened her eyes, gasped, and indeed... more or less squealed. There was no real middle ground with Usy most of the time: she tended to bounce back and forth between zero and ten within seconds. Her wings quivered excitedly as if she was about to take off and fly around looking for Fo and Dom already. But... Ki'fel's arm around her seemed to act as a sort of anchor for her, keeping her from bolting off already. Instead she bounced and wiggled in place, beaming. "Where-are-they-I-wanna-see-them!" Excuse you, Usy - was that one word or a sentence?
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam made a show of pretending to place a finger to her ear as if her eardrums had been shattered, stifling a laugh as she looked between them with a smile. She looked to Ki'fel with a smile, nodding vaguely at his first question. "She's well. I don't know about Dom's training, though I imagine you'll be able to find out soon enough. His training didn't come up in our conversation before." Watching Usy nearly implode where she stood, her eyes went a little wide and she momentarily wondered to herself if she would ever grow out of it. "Perhaps you could save your questions for the two of them, hm? They would be able to tell you better than I could."
Ki'fel Inloilfrey indeed kept a soft hold on Usy to make sure she didn't go flying off into a wall or something. Though her scree made him pause a moment and close his eyes. Ah.. that lovely voice of her had so much range at times. He chuckled softly and looked to Sili giving a nod of his head. "Are they ready for us or should we wai-" just as he started say that he heard footsteps coming up the path and paused to watch. Wondering partly if they had heard the excited noises that Usy had made and decided to investigate. "Or they could.. show up." he let his grip slacken a bit further on Usy, knowing full well she could and would knock him over if given the chance, just to get to her sister.
Usyraz turned her head to look in the direction of the sound of footsteps. She didn't even fully register that it was indeed her sister, perhaps still a little drunk from excitement. Perhaps all it took was the hint of blue, purple, and green coming toward them to realize who it was. "THERE YOU ARE!" There was the excitement. Ki'fel was wise to loosen his hold, but she still turned her head long enough to press a quick kiss to his cheek before scrambling toward Fo and Dom with all the grace of a dwarf in oversized shoes. Normally she was so much smoother in her steps than this, but her energy got the best of her.
Dom'Ro walked up along the path beside Fo'uh. His hand locked into hers if she allowed it and would see the figures that appeared to be her sister and mother and the silver male. Seeing all three as they were coming more into view made him smile as he not seen them for quite some time since shortly after bringing Fo home from the Shadow Realm. He looked over to Fo and gently squeezed her hand if allowed and would look back when he heard the yelp from Usy and couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of her making her way towards them.
Fo'uh Zithary had heard her sister and became just as excited. Though Dom's hand in hers she would guide him along as she moved a bit more quickly to greet her sister. Her smile brightened seeing her sister, though noticing several differences in her. "USY!" she said there was a soft quiver in her tone as she held out her free arm to embrace her. "It is good to see you!" She said in a more mature tone so as not to bleed Dom's ears. If embraced she wouldn't let go of her sister, not right away. Holding her tight. "I did not realize it had been so long. I am so sorry for keeping you waiting." She said quietly to her sister. "I am ok.. I promise.. I have good news." She gave Dom a soft glimmering look of endearment.
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam laughed into one of her hands as she watched the nearly crazed behavior of her youngest reuniting with her eldest, as well as the mate of her eldest. She took a couple of steps toward Ki'fel and attempted to place a hand to his shoulder, murmuring to him. "The contrast between you two is... astounding sometimes." She gave his shoulder a light pat if she could before withdrawing her hand and looking toward Fo and Dom with a bright smile. "You have great timing..." She turned her attention to Dom with the same bright expression she'd given both girls, as well as Ki'fel. "Ava'yorn! It's good to see you both." She kept her distance for now, halfway afraid of getting smacked in the face by one of Usy's limbs if she decided to flail or something. Watching them all come together again, she saw it best to fall silent and bring her hand over her mouth to try and hide a broad grin.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey watched for a moment and as Sili stepped closer to him and spoke he smiled. "That is what makes her perfect for me." He said softly then turned watching again. If he caught Dom's attention he would give a soft nod. "It's good to see you brother. Still practicing I hope? Bout time you got out of that cave. Get a bit.. stuck in its curves and twists?" He gave a sly smile to Dom, teasing him as subtly as he could to not offend the females but.. sometimes obviousness of a tone would slip out.
Usyraz all but whimpered as she looked excitedly between the two of them, keeping hold of her sister as well for as long as Fo might allow it. She almost somehow managed to miss her words, but eventually spoke up in the midst of her surge of energy, her brows raising inquisitively. "What's the news? How good are we talking? Do we need to get party favors? Ooh! Or horns or- ..." She paused and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry... Go on..." Her eyes went a little bit wide as she heard Ki'fel's comment, but she had no clever quip for that one. Instead, the color simply rushed to her cheeks.
Dom'Ro smiled as the two sisters hugged each other. He caught Fo's look and would tilt his head and nod. He looked over to Sili as she spoke and gave a soft wave with his free arm. "Ava'yorn, ma'am! Fo has told me you have been doing well." He looked over to Ki'fel and gave a return nod. "It has been awhile brother. Been improving on what you have taught me." He twisted his arm in motion as if he was parrying with a sword and chuckled. "Yes, much needed res..." he paused his words as Ki'fel's comment suddenly hit his brain. "Uh.." and would smile and slowly shake a finger at him as if to silently say 'You son of a..'. His attention was abrubted as Usy spoke and smiled.
Fo'uh Zithary looked over to Ki'fel and smiled before turning her attention back to Usy. Granted, she herself might have missed his meaning at first. "Well, One.. Dom and I.." she said and looked at him. Then suddenly she smiled and looked up to Sili. "Well.. uh." She looked at Usy again. "We're going to do the meta-bond and... well.. you're going to have some nieces and nephews." she said in a slightly shaken voice. Excitement was hard to contain around Usy. "We'll be going out to look for a nesting spot soon but.. I wanted you all to know. We'll probably come and visit a lot of course." She said turning her eyes back to her mother to be sure her mother knew this was a promise. "But we do not know how many there will be so.. for safe measure we're going to go in search of a larger area." Her attention turned back to Usy. "Don't suppose you have any suggestions?"
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam disguised her own laughter as a cough as she bowed her head. She totally wasn't supposed to laugh at jokes like that. Once she'd regained her composure, she watched the four of them with a smile, first from Ki'fel's response to her and then from the greeting between sisters and Dom'Ro. "Very well, thank you! I have no complaints, especially with you all here." She left it at that. Again she fell silent, especially as Fo spoke - smirking behind her fingers and steadily flitting her gaze between them one by one. She met Fo's gaze of course, and dipped her chin in acknowledgment once it registered.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey gave a sly grin to Sili as she laughed and the same to Dom followed by a hearty chuckle when he caught on. He stepped closer to the pair to reach for Dom's hand in greeting, only to freeze as he heard Fo'uh's news. Eyes went wide as he looked her over and almost instinctively he moved his hands to his ears just in case and gave Fo'uh a grin. Figuring they would probably follow suit if they knew what was good for them.
Usyraz reared back to look between Dom and Fo with wide eyes, having missed her mother's reaction. "You... you are?" Logically, it didn't strike her as much of a surprise that the two had come together after Dom had gone with them to rescue Fo, but the news as a bundle had surprised her entirely. And as soon as it sank in that Fo had just told her she was expecting, she gasped and unwrapped an arm from her to reach in and wiggle a finger at her middle. "LITTLE BABY NUGGETS! Oh they're going to be so cute!" Ki'fel had predicted correctly: there went the squeaker. To say she was happy for them would have been an understatement. And just like that, she extended an arm to try to pull Dom into the same hug she'd given her sister. Because if -that- wasn't a group hug moment the way she saw it, she didn't know what was.
Dom'Ro looked at Fo as she began to speak and tilted his head and smiled at her. As she continued to tell her sister the news he looked to Usy let out a light chuckle from her question. "Congratulations, Aunty Usy!" He would look back to Fo and give her a soft smile and then look over to Sili but then would catch as Ki'fel stepped towards him. He wouldn't see in time the initial attempt of the handshake but would see instead Ki'fel covering his ears. He raised his brow and cocked his head at him in confusion for a moment until then the squeak from Usy let out. His other brow rose and his eyes went wide as his head kind of shook back as his hand slightly twitched. Once he got over the surprise he let out a loud chuckle. He felt Usy's grasp onto him as she pulled him into to the group.
Fo'uh Zithary laughed catching Ki'fel's instinctive reaction. She jumped slightly ticklish at Usy's finger wiggle then embraced both her sister and Dom in a hug. There wasn't much to say or do at this point. she was excited and happy that her family welcomed this.. why wouldn't they? She leaned back from the hug a bit.. then had a moment of curiosity. "I wonder what color they will turn out to be." she blinked and looked at her mother. "How does that work anyway? Usy and myself came out.. well.. like this but. Serelath was darker. Oh gosh.. what color does purple and green make?" she had a sudden worried expression on her face.
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam smiled and turned her head away from them long enough to dab a few sappy tears from the corners of her eyes. Once she felt she could again, she turned her head to look back at them, chuckling as she heard Fo's question. "I've found that it's always a beautiful combination of colors. Don't worry - they're going to be as stunning as you both are." Her tone quivered, but it was mostly due to her little 'proud mama/grandmama' mood that struck her while watching them all. "There's no telling for certain how our scale colors are decided, but now I'm very curious to see the outcome as well..."
Ki'fel Inloilfrey let go of his ears soon as he thought it was safe to do so. He moved in and clasped Dom on the shoulder. "Congrats Opsola!" he said and in a more gentle tone and soft smile he spoke to Fo'uh. "Congrats moxt myvish. This is a good reason for a celebration!" He turned and looked to Dom. "How about a hunt.. You and myself can go gather the food, yeah?" He turned to see if any of the females would disagree with this. "I could cook for all if you wish?"
Usyraz eventually drew back her arms and beamed, hopping up and down a few times. As soon as Ki'fel spoke, she piped up to agree. "Yes! Let's do that!" She drummed on her own thighs as if itching to go flying all over the place, beaming and glancing between them. Clearly, she herself had no complaints to the idea of them hunting if they chose to do it. "Ooooh maybe we should see if-..." She paused to look over her shoulder at their mother in contemplation, stopping short of finishing her thought. Instead, she redirected to Fo with an excited smile. "Oooh I can't wait to see them too! The family's getting all bigger and stuff and..." Her shoulders rose and fell as she sighed and smiled.
Dom'Ro smiled as Fo questioned the color of their children and looked over to Sili as she spoke nodded to her. "Yes.." he would start to say and then look back to Fo.."don't worry sia itov. As long they are healthy and beautiful as their dask." He looked towards Ki'fel as he spoke and nodded. "Yes! A feast to celebrate sounds like a fine idea." His attention then turned to Usy's excitement and he smile and laugh. He gaze over to Fo. "Anything particular you want us to get while we are out?"
Fo'uh Zithary blushed slightly as food was brought up and sort of took a step back from the group to look them over. "Well.." she said looking nervously between them all. "Eel sounds pretty tasty at the moment.. maybe shark fin and pineapple and that one root.. oh.. um.. onions." she huffed slightly and licked her lips. "Yeah, that all sounds good to me." She paused and looked at their faces, no doubt humored by their expressions and probably shy at the outburst and list of strange things she just set before them. "Or elk. Elk could work as well." She said softly and stepped into Dom shyly.
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam did her best to held back a laugh as she heard the grocery list Fo set out for them. As if to try and ease whatever shyness or embarrassment her daughter might have felt, she spoke up as well, sincerely. "Perhaps the two of you could pick up some cherries or other various fruits to help prepare a nice dessert as well? There might be some down at the market." She shrugged, moving to lean sideways into the pillar. "We could decorate the meeting hall nearby for it as well - there's plenty of space in there for all of us."
Ki'fel Inloilfrey blinked listening to the list of things. Though part of him cringed inside he nodded trying to not make Fo'uh more self conscious. The eel sorta set his stomach off a bit but the mention of shark fin and or elk helped a bit. "Well.. Dom, Usy? Which would you rather do? I know I am going after the shark and possibly the elk." He said crossing his arms. When Sili spoke he nodded. "That is a great idea. Also might be more comfortable sitting places." he gave a soft nod. "Fo.. You could maybe help Dask with that?" He paused, eyes opened wide as he turned to Sili with an apologetic look. He had never called her that before. "I mean, Sili.. your mother.." He seemed to fidget slightly. "I'll go .. um.. yeah." He turned back to Usy and Dom. "Yeah uh.. Perhaps Usy and Dom could go to the market?" He asked trying to keep the conversation going in the proper direction.
Usyraz looked at Ki'fel and resisted the urge to playfully brush her cheek to his, watching him try to distract from what he seemed to perceive as a slip-up. Instead, she quietly reached for his hand and beamed. "I don't mind; I'm more than happy to help at the market. I can go whenever everything's figured out and you're ready to go." The last bit was directed toward Dom, made apparent by her gaze turning to focus on him as she spoke. Of course they didn't have to go -right that instant-... definitely whenever he was willing to fly out there with her.
Dom'Ro looked at Fo for a moment with a still expression as his eyes widened some at her request. Her order seemed a little odd than normal to him but yet he has a lot to learn during this time of pregnancy. As she stepped into him, he brushed it off and looked at her and smiled and put his hand on her shoulder if she allowed. He looked over to Sili as she spoke and nodded. He was about to say something but looked towards Ki'fel as he said his name. "Sure, we can get the rest of the items if you want to do that." He tilted his head as he stuttered and then looked to Usy. "Well shall we go see what we can hunt out, Aunty?" he said with a big smile. He turned to Fo and touched his forehead with hers if she allowed it. "Be back soon" he said softly to her.
Fo'uh Zithary shivered slightly at Dom's touch and then warmed to it quickly. As they spoke she tilted her head wondering why Ki'fel felt odd calling Dask.. dask. Technically she was now his mother as well as Dom's. When Ki'fel suggested she stay behind with her mother she nodded. Then could not help but smile at Usy's willingness to get going and flit around. When Dom went to touch his forehead to her's she allowed it and purred slightly. "Be careful, Si itov wux." she said softly. Giving him a loving smile and petting her hand along his side if he allowed it. She then steps aside and moves toward her mother with a soft smile, a glance at Usy with a wink. "I bet you'll find things before they do." she says in jest as if initiating some sort of game. She was good at that from time to time. turning tasks and chores into games.
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam blinked with surprise... and as soon as that surprise wore off, her expression lit up, even if the conversation hadn't had a chance to allow anyone much room to comment on what the Steel had called her. With a grin, she nodded. While she said nothing of it after seeing him quickly distract from it, it still had struck her in a way. "I'd be happy to. I'm sure there's plenty of things we can do to decorate the place. Maybe make it more colorful-..." She looked between Fo and Dom and cracked into a wider, brighter expression. Oh yes - she knew exactly what they could do. As Fo came toward her, she smiled in return and reached out to place an idle hand to her arm, looking between them. "This will be nice. I can't tell you how happy I am to have you all back in one place for a while... and with news like this..." She looked between them with amusement at Fo's idea... waiting to see what would be said.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey raised an eyebrow listening to Fo'uh. He nodded and reached out to touch Usy's shoulder. "I would say that is a pretty fun idea." he said with a smirk then turned and with heavy feet started to run to the edge. His scales clanking loudly as he dove off with his wings spread. He had not given them a chance to react or speak.. challange was accepted that quickly. he needed the head start anyway, heavier.. with a possibly larger weight to carry than the others, it would slow him down. Mid flight, his true form would appear as he sored up and over the woods in search of his first prize. The shark might be harder to get.. the elk would be quicker.. or so he thought.
Usyraz nodded enthusiastically, flailing a little bit at being called Aunty. "Absolutely!" She widened and blinked her eyes owlishly at Fo as she spoke... and then came her devious grin. She had almost turned to regard her mate, but he'd already taken off. So it was on that note that she gasped, took a few cautious steps back into a more open space, opened her wings, and prepared to fly off toward the market. "TALLY HO!" Why yes... yes she did just do that. Unless someone got her attention enough to make her stop, that would be that - she would dart off like an arrow let loose from its bow, trusting that Dom could either keep up or follow the glimmers of light that came from her wings and scales.
Dom'Ro smiled as Fo spoke. "Si itov wux." he said in return as he felt her hand on his side. He watched her for a moment as she went over to her mother. His attention soon diverted to the clanking sound caused by the steel and as he went to look at him, he was already off. He looked to Usy as she exclaimed her tally ho and watched as she then too took off. He looked back to Fo and Sili and would crack a smile and give them a half curtsy and his wings would flutter and off was his turn off the edge, trying to catch up to Usy.
Fo'uh Zithary placed her hand atop her mothers and gave a loving smile. Though as Ki'fel started to talk, she turned in time to see him suddenly go sprinting off. With wide eyes she blinked as he dove off and went soring into the air as his larger form.. a snort followed by a laugh came out instantly at how awkward that seemed to look to her. "You two better-" And just like that Usy flew off. She shook her head and smiled at her mother. "My bet is on Usy." she said soon as Dom was out of ear range. "No one is faster than her."
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam grinned and nodded at Fo. "Mine too, as long as she doesn't get distracted..." She chuckled, sighing and giving her a small nudge as she started toward the hall. "You'll do just fine with your own children... I have no doubt of that." Aaaand with that, she'd start decorating with Fo's help.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey had followed calmly walking to the middle of the strange forest. At first he was content to just stand there watching his beautiful mate flit from spot to spot enjoying the area till something caught his attention.. rather bluntly. A fairy came right up into his face causing him to flinch. He waved his hand carefully trying to shoo her away only to find another one was at his wing buffing one of the scales so she could look at her reflection within it. He attempted to shake her loose from his wing with an exasperated huff. "Get off you gnat." He grumbled only to find the fairy from before grabbing at his lip as if to attempt to see his teeth. He huffed and gave a rather sleepy bored of this expression till he heard Usy's voice and flit his wings violently to shoo the fairies away. In all seriousness they were gone instantly due to his sudden change in personality. "Is she alright? Do we need to go to her?" He asked clearly and loudly.
Usyraz turned toward him in time to watch the fairies scatter like cockroaches in a spotlight, giggling into her hand. That probably was at least one hint that there wasn't danger. Still, she spoke up to answer him, nearly skipping over to him until she came to a stop near him with a smile. "She's fine. At least... I didn't -feel- anything actually wrong. But she's asking us to come back if we can." She looked at him for a moment, and even though she likely knew full well that he was probably more than happy to get the hell away from a bunch of fairies, she asked him anyway... maybe because she was a little amused. "Are you alright to go?"
Ki'fel Inloilfrey relaxed his wings slightly and there would be sounds and spots behind the trees where fairies would poke out to peer at them. He blinked at her question.. could not help but let the gleam in his eyes show through as she got closer. "Of course, Itov. When you are ready. I know you love these places... and just.. you know.. so as it is a visit and not to live in." he said looking around wary of being blindsided by another fairy. His eyes turned and focused on her and he stepped forward. "I have all the beauty i need to see right here." he said reaching out to wrap an arm around her and pull her into a kiss if she allowed. "In front of me all around me and in my heart forever." He said in a gravely soft tone.
Usyraz pressed her lips together a moment and smiled. "You know I wouldn't force you to live someplace you wouldn't want to live in..." Her voice trailed off as she listened to him before affectionately returning his kiss. For a brief time, she was stunned into silence by his words. The color rushed to her cheeks and she smiled wide enough to cause her eyes to squint a little, her nose wrinkling along with it. "You..." Struggling with words, she turned her head to brush her cheek to his - something she likely did often when she was happy with him - and she beamed, growling playfully and murmuring back to him. "Si itov wux..." She smiled at him another time, bringing a hand up to trail her fingers through his hair if she could. ... She may have been momentarily distracted from going anywhere.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey nuzzled right back till his face was pressed against the nape of her neck and shoulder. He took in the scent of her hair and smiled planting a kiss against any bare flesh he could several times before he responded. "Si itov wux..." he gave her a soft hugging squeeze and was content to stay that way till he heard the flapping of tiny little wings starting to flutter ever closer. He turned and looked up at them, not really with an angry expression but perhaps one of annoyance. And in a possessive manner.. as if to tell the fairies off, he raised his wings up and enclosed them within their own world for a moment. His way of saying 'Mine' without voice it. He turned his attention back to her and gave a soft sigh. "Perhaps we should go then, Itov? Find out what she wants and tell her of the place we found?"
Usyraz unintentionally formed the hint of a light rumbling in her throat for a few seconds - almost as if 'purring' - before she realized he'd cocooned them in his wings. With a secret smile, she nodded; pulled back only enough to take hold of his clawed hands, ready to depart whenever he was. "Probably a good idea..." Her voice trailed off as she kept her gaze locked on him, admiring him for as long as she could before they actually took off.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey slowly let down his wings as he peeked over them. He did not feel the fairies that were attached to them right away. Thinking they had got the hint he folded them up hearing a squeak or two of protest before they fluttered off. "I .." he huffs. "Stupid little things." he grumbled and gripped her hand softly before crouching to lift up into the air flapping his wings roughly to get his bulk up off the ground. Another fairy flailing wildly as she fell from his wing, one he would not see as he was focused on getting up into the air with his mate.
Usyraz heard them before she actually saw them flying off. She couldn't help but let out a sudden, full laugh, undeniably amused by the way the much smaller creatures had flocked to him. "I wonder what it is about you -they- like so much..." Still, she caught onto his annoyance and didn't try to delay them any longer. She grinned instead, taking to the air with him and snorting as she just barely caught on that another had gone sailing away from him from the movement of his wings.
----------------------
Ki'fel Inloilfrey landed heavy and let his wings sink limply to his sides for a moment as they relaxed from the journey. He turned and held his hand for her to grab while she landed. His eyes scanning the area and not catching sight of anyone right away. "Are you sure things seemed alright?" he asked, part of him on guard. Slowly he lifted his wings back up and folded them to his back. "It is really quiet here." he said softly and looked around. "No sign of a fight though.. of any kind.. so that is good."
Usyraz took hold of his land as she came close enough to do so, her landing contrasting to his with a light touch of the pads of her feet to the ground. Her attention drifted around and she frowned with a thoughtful hum. "It's been quiet for a while, but ... if it's been -this- quiet, I can't remember it..." Still, her head shook. "No... I think if there'd been a fight, she would have shown more distress. She -almost- seemed a little happy, but... she's been more cheerful in general lately, I think." She gently squeezed his hand as she looked around, calling out in the hopes that someone would hear - having not caught sight of anyone either. "Dask? Are you here?"
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam looked up from her book as soon as she felt others nearby. The familiar voice caused her to perk up, and she smiled. That didn't take very long at all, really. Stretching, she set her book aside and pushed herself to a stand. "Over here!" She moved to try and remove the visual barrier of the large pillar that had kept her hidden from them, looking between them both with a warm smile. Oh boy. She was still in that 'my babies are all grown up' mode... partially.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey turned in time to see Sili emerge from behind a pillar in the gazebo. He gave a broad grin and started to guide Usy, though if she wanted to rush ahead he would not hold her back. "Ava'yorn Sililuuth!" he said on his way. "How are things?" Though his tone, expression and body language suggested he was in a relaxed state, his eyes would inspect Sili and look around the area for any chance happenings with an intruder. Once he was satisfied that there were no intruders or danger around his smile became more relaxed. "You look wonderful." he said softly to Sili, though there might be a hint of pity shown seeing her scars. He knew she did not remember how she got them.. and he wasn't about to remind her himself. Though it ached his heart to see such a beautiful dragon, especially his mate's mother, scared up so.
Usyraz sure enough bolted in the same direction, her wings tucked back tighter to try and make sure she didn't somehow smack Ki'fel with them as she went darting through. "Dask!" She came to an abrupt stop and smiled, her weight shifting from foot to foot. As her mate spoke, she nodded as if to agree with his words, taking hold of his arm again once they'd both reached Sili. "We heard you calling and came as soon as we could. What is it? Are you okay?" She suddenly had her own concerns, though she wasn't as ... quiet about them as Ki'fel had been about his.
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam didn't seem to notice the look that Ki'fel gained for a moment, or maybe she decided not to acknowledge it. Instead, she grinned as they came forward, taking a few steps forward. "Ava'yorn, and thank you! I -feel- wonderful. I'm happy to see you both..." Her attention drifted between them thoughtfully, giving a slow nod at the questions. "Of course! It's been fairly quiet up here. But... I told someone I would try and call you back so they could see you and speak to you..."
Ki'fel Inloilfrey tilted his head and looked to Usy. Part of him wondering if perhaps her father had come back to speak with her. He knew that, in some ways, Usy was fond of her father and knew how sad she was that he left without much word. "Well, I hope we did not keep -them- waiting?" He said turning his attention back to Sili as if hoping she would let them in on the secret of who it was.
Usyraz turned her head at about the same time, likely to exchange a glance with him and a shrug of her shoulders. The momentary uncertainty caused her to inch uneasily in closer to Ki'fel, her brow furrowing. She still looked relatively cheerful, but now she was puzzled on top of it. "Yes... I hope so too. ... Are you going to tell us who it is, or are we going to have to guess?"
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam shook her head. "No, no. I think it's done her well to get some rest while I waited to see if you would be able to turn up..." Well, that was one hint. She looked closely between them as if measuring reactions as she spoke, practically ready to plug her ears in case her youngest went into squeaker mode. "Fo and Dom are here. Your sister mentioned wanting to speak with you before she left again." As much as she wanted to divulge -why- she wanted to speak with her... she didn't want to take that away from her eldest. I was Fo's place to tell them; not her own.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey raised an eyebrow. "Haven't seen much of those two even when we are here. Is she well?" he asked without thinking that perhaps Fo wanted to tell them herself. "Dom keeping up with his training?" Then a thought hit him and he paused for a moment keeping that thought to himself and wrapping an arm around Usy. Though it was an amusing thought, he would not have an expression of more than that calm sleepy face he always seemed to have.
Usyraz widened her eyes, gasped, and indeed... more or less squealed. There was no real middle ground with Usy most of the time: she tended to bounce back and forth between zero and ten within seconds. Her wings quivered excitedly as if she was about to take off and fly around looking for Fo and Dom already. But... Ki'fel's arm around her seemed to act as a sort of anchor for her, keeping her from bolting off already. Instead she bounced and wiggled in place, beaming. "Where-are-they-I-wanna-see-them!" Excuse you, Usy - was that one word or a sentence?
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam made a show of pretending to place a finger to her ear as if her eardrums had been shattered, stifling a laugh as she looked between them with a smile. She looked to Ki'fel with a smile, nodding vaguely at his first question. "She's well. I don't know about Dom's training, though I imagine you'll be able to find out soon enough. His training didn't come up in our conversation before." Watching Usy nearly implode where she stood, her eyes went a little wide and she momentarily wondered to herself if she would ever grow out of it. "Perhaps you could save your questions for the two of them, hm? They would be able to tell you better than I could."
Ki'fel Inloilfrey indeed kept a soft hold on Usy to make sure she didn't go flying off into a wall or something. Though her scree made him pause a moment and close his eyes. Ah.. that lovely voice of her had so much range at times. He chuckled softly and looked to Sili giving a nod of his head. "Are they ready for us or should we wai-" just as he started say that he heard footsteps coming up the path and paused to watch. Wondering partly if they had heard the excited noises that Usy had made and decided to investigate. "Or they could.. show up." he let his grip slacken a bit further on Usy, knowing full well she could and would knock him over if given the chance, just to get to her sister.
Usyraz turned her head to look in the direction of the sound of footsteps. She didn't even fully register that it was indeed her sister, perhaps still a little drunk from excitement. Perhaps all it took was the hint of blue, purple, and green coming toward them to realize who it was. "THERE YOU ARE!" There was the excitement. Ki'fel was wise to loosen his hold, but she still turned her head long enough to press a quick kiss to his cheek before scrambling toward Fo and Dom with all the grace of a dwarf in oversized shoes. Normally she was so much smoother in her steps than this, but her energy got the best of her.
Dom'Ro walked up along the path beside Fo'uh. His hand locked into hers if she allowed it and would see the figures that appeared to be her sister and mother and the silver male. Seeing all three as they were coming more into view made him smile as he not seen them for quite some time since shortly after bringing Fo home from the Shadow Realm. He looked over to Fo and gently squeezed her hand if allowed and would look back when he heard the yelp from Usy and couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of her making her way towards them.
Fo'uh Zithary had heard her sister and became just as excited. Though Dom's hand in hers she would guide him along as she moved a bit more quickly to greet her sister. Her smile brightened seeing her sister, though noticing several differences in her. "USY!" she said there was a soft quiver in her tone as she held out her free arm to embrace her. "It is good to see you!" She said in a more mature tone so as not to bleed Dom's ears. If embraced she wouldn't let go of her sister, not right away. Holding her tight. "I did not realize it had been so long. I am so sorry for keeping you waiting." She said quietly to her sister. "I am ok.. I promise.. I have good news." She gave Dom a soft glimmering look of endearment.
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam laughed into one of her hands as she watched the nearly crazed behavior of her youngest reuniting with her eldest, as well as the mate of her eldest. She took a couple of steps toward Ki'fel and attempted to place a hand to his shoulder, murmuring to him. "The contrast between you two is... astounding sometimes." She gave his shoulder a light pat if she could before withdrawing her hand and looking toward Fo and Dom with a bright smile. "You have great timing..." She turned her attention to Dom with the same bright expression she'd given both girls, as well as Ki'fel. "Ava'yorn! It's good to see you both." She kept her distance for now, halfway afraid of getting smacked in the face by one of Usy's limbs if she decided to flail or something. Watching them all come together again, she saw it best to fall silent and bring her hand over her mouth to try and hide a broad grin.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey watched for a moment and as Sili stepped closer to him and spoke he smiled. "That is what makes her perfect for me." He said softly then turned watching again. If he caught Dom's attention he would give a soft nod. "It's good to see you brother. Still practicing I hope? Bout time you got out of that cave. Get a bit.. stuck in its curves and twists?" He gave a sly smile to Dom, teasing him as subtly as he could to not offend the females but.. sometimes obviousness of a tone would slip out.
Usyraz all but whimpered as she looked excitedly between the two of them, keeping hold of her sister as well for as long as Fo might allow it. She almost somehow managed to miss her words, but eventually spoke up in the midst of her surge of energy, her brows raising inquisitively. "What's the news? How good are we talking? Do we need to get party favors? Ooh! Or horns or- ..." She paused and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry... Go on..." Her eyes went a little bit wide as she heard Ki'fel's comment, but she had no clever quip for that one. Instead, the color simply rushed to her cheeks.
Dom'Ro smiled as the two sisters hugged each other. He caught Fo's look and would tilt his head and nod. He looked over to Sili as she spoke and gave a soft wave with his free arm. "Ava'yorn, ma'am! Fo has told me you have been doing well." He looked over to Ki'fel and gave a return nod. "It has been awhile brother. Been improving on what you have taught me." He twisted his arm in motion as if he was parrying with a sword and chuckled. "Yes, much needed res..." he paused his words as Ki'fel's comment suddenly hit his brain. "Uh.." and would smile and slowly shake a finger at him as if to silently say 'You son of a..'. His attention was abrubted as Usy spoke and smiled.
Fo'uh Zithary looked over to Ki'fel and smiled before turning her attention back to Usy. Granted, she herself might have missed his meaning at first. "Well, One.. Dom and I.." she said and looked at him. Then suddenly she smiled and looked up to Sili. "Well.. uh." She looked at Usy again. "We're going to do the meta-bond and... well.. you're going to have some nieces and nephews." she said in a slightly shaken voice. Excitement was hard to contain around Usy. "We'll be going out to look for a nesting spot soon but.. I wanted you all to know. We'll probably come and visit a lot of course." She said turning her eyes back to her mother to be sure her mother knew this was a promise. "But we do not know how many there will be so.. for safe measure we're going to go in search of a larger area." Her attention turned back to Usy. "Don't suppose you have any suggestions?"
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam disguised her own laughter as a cough as she bowed her head. She totally wasn't supposed to laugh at jokes like that. Once she'd regained her composure, she watched the four of them with a smile, first from Ki'fel's response to her and then from the greeting between sisters and Dom'Ro. "Very well, thank you! I have no complaints, especially with you all here." She left it at that. Again she fell silent, especially as Fo spoke - smirking behind her fingers and steadily flitting her gaze between them one by one. She met Fo's gaze of course, and dipped her chin in acknowledgment once it registered.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey gave a sly grin to Sili as she laughed and the same to Dom followed by a hearty chuckle when he caught on. He stepped closer to the pair to reach for Dom's hand in greeting, only to freeze as he heard Fo'uh's news. Eyes went wide as he looked her over and almost instinctively he moved his hands to his ears just in case and gave Fo'uh a grin. Figuring they would probably follow suit if they knew what was good for them.
Usyraz reared back to look between Dom and Fo with wide eyes, having missed her mother's reaction. "You... you are?" Logically, it didn't strike her as much of a surprise that the two had come together after Dom had gone with them to rescue Fo, but the news as a bundle had surprised her entirely. And as soon as it sank in that Fo had just told her she was expecting, she gasped and unwrapped an arm from her to reach in and wiggle a finger at her middle. "LITTLE BABY NUGGETS! Oh they're going to be so cute!" Ki'fel had predicted correctly: there went the squeaker. To say she was happy for them would have been an understatement. And just like that, she extended an arm to try to pull Dom into the same hug she'd given her sister. Because if -that- wasn't a group hug moment the way she saw it, she didn't know what was.
Dom'Ro looked at Fo as she began to speak and tilted his head and smiled at her. As she continued to tell her sister the news he looked to Usy let out a light chuckle from her question. "Congratulations, Aunty Usy!" He would look back to Fo and give her a soft smile and then look over to Sili but then would catch as Ki'fel stepped towards him. He wouldn't see in time the initial attempt of the handshake but would see instead Ki'fel covering his ears. He raised his brow and cocked his head at him in confusion for a moment until then the squeak from Usy let out. His other brow rose and his eyes went wide as his head kind of shook back as his hand slightly twitched. Once he got over the surprise he let out a loud chuckle. He felt Usy's grasp onto him as she pulled him into to the group.
Fo'uh Zithary laughed catching Ki'fel's instinctive reaction. She jumped slightly ticklish at Usy's finger wiggle then embraced both her sister and Dom in a hug. There wasn't much to say or do at this point. she was excited and happy that her family welcomed this.. why wouldn't they? She leaned back from the hug a bit.. then had a moment of curiosity. "I wonder what color they will turn out to be." she blinked and looked at her mother. "How does that work anyway? Usy and myself came out.. well.. like this but. Serelath was darker. Oh gosh.. what color does purple and green make?" she had a sudden worried expression on her face.
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam smiled and turned her head away from them long enough to dab a few sappy tears from the corners of her eyes. Once she felt she could again, she turned her head to look back at them, chuckling as she heard Fo's question. "I've found that it's always a beautiful combination of colors. Don't worry - they're going to be as stunning as you both are." Her tone quivered, but it was mostly due to her little 'proud mama/grandmama' mood that struck her while watching them all. "There's no telling for certain how our scale colors are decided, but now I'm very curious to see the outcome as well..."
Ki'fel Inloilfrey let go of his ears soon as he thought it was safe to do so. He moved in and clasped Dom on the shoulder. "Congrats Opsola!" he said and in a more gentle tone and soft smile he spoke to Fo'uh. "Congrats moxt myvish. This is a good reason for a celebration!" He turned and looked to Dom. "How about a hunt.. You and myself can go gather the food, yeah?" He turned to see if any of the females would disagree with this. "I could cook for all if you wish?"
Usyraz eventually drew back her arms and beamed, hopping up and down a few times. As soon as Ki'fel spoke, she piped up to agree. "Yes! Let's do that!" She drummed on her own thighs as if itching to go flying all over the place, beaming and glancing between them. Clearly, she herself had no complaints to the idea of them hunting if they chose to do it. "Ooooh maybe we should see if-..." She paused to look over her shoulder at their mother in contemplation, stopping short of finishing her thought. Instead, she redirected to Fo with an excited smile. "Oooh I can't wait to see them too! The family's getting all bigger and stuff and..." Her shoulders rose and fell as she sighed and smiled.
Dom'Ro smiled as Fo questioned the color of their children and looked over to Sili as she spoke nodded to her. "Yes.." he would start to say and then look back to Fo.."don't worry sia itov. As long they are healthy and beautiful as their dask." He looked towards Ki'fel as he spoke and nodded. "Yes! A feast to celebrate sounds like a fine idea." His attention then turned to Usy's excitement and he smile and laugh. He gaze over to Fo. "Anything particular you want us to get while we are out?"
Fo'uh Zithary blushed slightly as food was brought up and sort of took a step back from the group to look them over. "Well.." she said looking nervously between them all. "Eel sounds pretty tasty at the moment.. maybe shark fin and pineapple and that one root.. oh.. um.. onions." she huffed slightly and licked her lips. "Yeah, that all sounds good to me." She paused and looked at their faces, no doubt humored by their expressions and probably shy at the outburst and list of strange things she just set before them. "Or elk. Elk could work as well." She said softly and stepped into Dom shyly.
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam did her best to held back a laugh as she heard the grocery list Fo set out for them. As if to try and ease whatever shyness or embarrassment her daughter might have felt, she spoke up as well, sincerely. "Perhaps the two of you could pick up some cherries or other various fruits to help prepare a nice dessert as well? There might be some down at the market." She shrugged, moving to lean sideways into the pillar. "We could decorate the meeting hall nearby for it as well - there's plenty of space in there for all of us."
Ki'fel Inloilfrey blinked listening to the list of things. Though part of him cringed inside he nodded trying to not make Fo'uh more self conscious. The eel sorta set his stomach off a bit but the mention of shark fin and or elk helped a bit. "Well.. Dom, Usy? Which would you rather do? I know I am going after the shark and possibly the elk." He said crossing his arms. When Sili spoke he nodded. "That is a great idea. Also might be more comfortable sitting places." he gave a soft nod. "Fo.. You could maybe help Dask with that?" He paused, eyes opened wide as he turned to Sili with an apologetic look. He had never called her that before. "I mean, Sili.. your mother.." He seemed to fidget slightly. "I'll go .. um.. yeah." He turned back to Usy and Dom. "Yeah uh.. Perhaps Usy and Dom could go to the market?" He asked trying to keep the conversation going in the proper direction.
Usyraz looked at Ki'fel and resisted the urge to playfully brush her cheek to his, watching him try to distract from what he seemed to perceive as a slip-up. Instead, she quietly reached for his hand and beamed. "I don't mind; I'm more than happy to help at the market. I can go whenever everything's figured out and you're ready to go." The last bit was directed toward Dom, made apparent by her gaze turning to focus on him as she spoke. Of course they didn't have to go -right that instant-... definitely whenever he was willing to fly out there with her.
Dom'Ro looked at Fo for a moment with a still expression as his eyes widened some at her request. Her order seemed a little odd than normal to him but yet he has a lot to learn during this time of pregnancy. As she stepped into him, he brushed it off and looked at her and smiled and put his hand on her shoulder if she allowed. He looked over to Sili as she spoke and nodded. He was about to say something but looked towards Ki'fel as he said his name. "Sure, we can get the rest of the items if you want to do that." He tilted his head as he stuttered and then looked to Usy. "Well shall we go see what we can hunt out, Aunty?" he said with a big smile. He turned to Fo and touched his forehead with hers if she allowed it. "Be back soon" he said softly to her.
Fo'uh Zithary shivered slightly at Dom's touch and then warmed to it quickly. As they spoke she tilted her head wondering why Ki'fel felt odd calling Dask.. dask. Technically she was now his mother as well as Dom's. When Ki'fel suggested she stay behind with her mother she nodded. Then could not help but smile at Usy's willingness to get going and flit around. When Dom went to touch his forehead to her's she allowed it and purred slightly. "Be careful, Si itov wux." she said softly. Giving him a loving smile and petting her hand along his side if he allowed it. She then steps aside and moves toward her mother with a soft smile, a glance at Usy with a wink. "I bet you'll find things before they do." she says in jest as if initiating some sort of game. She was good at that from time to time. turning tasks and chores into games.
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam blinked with surprise... and as soon as that surprise wore off, her expression lit up, even if the conversation hadn't had a chance to allow anyone much room to comment on what the Steel had called her. With a grin, she nodded. While she said nothing of it after seeing him quickly distract from it, it still had struck her in a way. "I'd be happy to. I'm sure there's plenty of things we can do to decorate the place. Maybe make it more colorful-..." She looked between Fo and Dom and cracked into a wider, brighter expression. Oh yes - she knew exactly what they could do. As Fo came toward her, she smiled in return and reached out to place an idle hand to her arm, looking between them. "This will be nice. I can't tell you how happy I am to have you all back in one place for a while... and with news like this..." She looked between them with amusement at Fo's idea... waiting to see what would be said.
Ki'fel Inloilfrey raised an eyebrow listening to Fo'uh. He nodded and reached out to touch Usy's shoulder. "I would say that is a pretty fun idea." he said with a smirk then turned and with heavy feet started to run to the edge. His scales clanking loudly as he dove off with his wings spread. He had not given them a chance to react or speak.. challange was accepted that quickly. he needed the head start anyway, heavier.. with a possibly larger weight to carry than the others, it would slow him down. Mid flight, his true form would appear as he sored up and over the woods in search of his first prize. The shark might be harder to get.. the elk would be quicker.. or so he thought.
Usyraz nodded enthusiastically, flailing a little bit at being called Aunty. "Absolutely!" She widened and blinked her eyes owlishly at Fo as she spoke... and then came her devious grin. She had almost turned to regard her mate, but he'd already taken off. So it was on that note that she gasped, took a few cautious steps back into a more open space, opened her wings, and prepared to fly off toward the market. "TALLY HO!" Why yes... yes she did just do that. Unless someone got her attention enough to make her stop, that would be that - she would dart off like an arrow let loose from its bow, trusting that Dom could either keep up or follow the glimmers of light that came from her wings and scales.
Dom'Ro smiled as Fo spoke. "Si itov wux." he said in return as he felt her hand on his side. He watched her for a moment as she went over to her mother. His attention soon diverted to the clanking sound caused by the steel and as he went to look at him, he was already off. He looked to Usy as she exclaimed her tally ho and watched as she then too took off. He looked back to Fo and Sili and would crack a smile and give them a half curtsy and his wings would flutter and off was his turn off the edge, trying to catch up to Usy.
Fo'uh Zithary placed her hand atop her mothers and gave a loving smile. Though as Ki'fel started to talk, she turned in time to see him suddenly go sprinting off. With wide eyes she blinked as he dove off and went soring into the air as his larger form.. a snort followed by a laugh came out instantly at how awkward that seemed to look to her. "You two better-" And just like that Usy flew off. She shook her head and smiled at her mother. "My bet is on Usy." she said soon as Dom was out of ear range. "No one is faster than her."
Sililuuth Kethend di Naam grinned and nodded at Fo. "Mine too, as long as she doesn't get distracted..." She chuckled, sighing and giving her a small nudge as she started toward the hall. "You'll do just fine with your own children... I have no doubt of that." Aaaand with that, she'd start decorating with Fo's help.
