::Aurthur had somehow managed the flight back home, with the aid of his son and his mate, even Storm had hovered closeby. Now he was exhausted. He stumbled into the lair and barely made it to the central chamber where the hatchlings played before he collapsed, curling what was left of his tail around his body, folding himself into a tight ball. He was asleep almost immediately. But what was the extent of his injuries? That even Aurthur didn't know, and right now, he didn't care. All he wanted was sleep, reguardless of the many cuts, possible internal injuries and severed tail, and sleep he did. It would take the cave collapsing on him to wake him.::

She had settled nearby, watching over her mate, purring softly and soothingly to him. Making sure he was alright, she'd not lose him.

Glancing back to Matthew with a grin, and a nod, though keeping quiet, not that they would wake her mate from his slumber.

A new hatchling peeked around Icer and looked at Aurthur. "That your mate Icer? He's huge." Moonshine said in awe.

The hatchling left Icer and got slightly closer to Aurthur and sat there studying the sleeping dragon.

Sunset Peered back at the other little hatchling, She was comfortably snuggled up to daddy, and very wary of the one coming closer to her daddy. There was a soft chirp, that was perhaps a warning to the other. She had missed daddy and wasn't in the mood to share him.

Yes Moonshine, a soft chuckle given spotting her daughter's jealousy. That is my mate Aurthur, he's resting right now, and that, nodding to the other hatchling guarding her mate it seemed, is Sunset.

Moonshine waved a clawed hand to Sunset but didn't approach any closer. It was amazing being in a lair with dragons. They were so graceful looking. Inspiration hit him. Moonshine started to prowl around and found what he was looking for. A chunk of wood. He took that Damascus Steel Dagger from the chord around his waist and began to whittle away.

He tried to make a dragon statue of Icer only once, and he was blind going by feel. Now he had sight and he was working on a portrait of three dragons. Icer, Aurthur, and Sunset. It was tricky. The dagger kept slipping out of scaled hands but he didn't give up. In an hour he had the group statue carved.

"Here." he held it up to Icer. "To make up for the ghastly one I made."

::He let out a soft sigh, but it was not one of irritation, as though he had just been waked. No, this was a sigh of content. He was surrounded by those that loved and cared for him, and he raised his wings:: "I want my family at my side......As many as can fit beneath my wings, and the rest all around me."

Thank you Moonshine, a smile as she accepted the statue, then nudged the little one closer to her mate. You did forget one though, ice blue eyes gave a wink then.

You are now kin as well.

::His forepaw wrapped around his daughter Sunset and he nuzzled her gently, thrumming to her. She was daddy's little girl, and she knew it. His wings remained open, he felt none of his family under them yet.::

::He hid in the shadows, watching, wishing that he was part of the family. His father never liked him, but he loved his father......He just wanted his father to be proud of him.::

There was a contented purr when daddy nuzzled her, and she nuzzled him back, she was very content. There was a soft chirp to daddy. as if telling him that she missed him, then she snuggled closer to him.

Ears perked a moment and she looked toward the shadows, before starting to move that way. The scent of her son there, she nuzzled Matthew, then gave him a bit of a nudge, toward his father.

Your father is waiting.., softly spoken with a smile.

Moonshine scurried over to Aurthur though he felt hesitant. He didn't realize he was family now and Aurthur was hurt. Lunarnan's didn't gather family for illness, that went out and healed in solitude. Odd. He snuggled up close to Aurthur, making sure Sunset had her pick of a spot and thought on all of this.

::He was hesitant, but he had never disobeyed his mother before, and he wouldn't start now. He crept over to his father and laid down, curling up next to him. He did not, however, lay claim to the place beneath his free wing, as that was his mother's spot. He sighed happily, and finally found the acceptance he had been longing for.::

Following her son over, she snuggled comfortably into her mate's wing, and grinned to Matthew. You can come a little closer my son, purring softly.

Finally there was peace, and she'd make sure it stayed that way.
