Momma had found her, and the little red wanderer had been carried back to the Stratford lair, her mother having coiled up around the curious hatchling.

No fun!, she wanted to explore!, waiting till she had gotten her bath, of course there had been much squirming and wriggling there.

She waited, pretending to nap, until momma herself had fallen asleep as well. Quiet, quiet, not making a peep, the little red slid from her mother's protective coils.

Daddy seemed to be slumbering too, hop, hop, hop, she was playing with a few nearby rocks, batting them around, before darting off to sniff a flower curiously, so much to see, to do, to explore!

Forest green eyes blinked as she peeked back toward where daddy lay. Was he sleeping" It mattered not to her, another sniff of the flower, before bounding after a flutterby, or butterfly, she wasn't sure what it was.., but it was pretty!

Hop, hop, hop, she bounded after the fluttering insect without seemingly a care in the world, now and then a small flash of gold from beneath her wings as they fluttered as well.

Where'd she go", toward a field of flowers of course, thats where the insect headed, and so, she did too, a sea of multicolors swaying in the breeze, pinks, purples, blue, yellows, reds, and oranges, even multihued flowers, each soon got a curious sniff, as she slowed down, the insect.., had landed.

Squirming and wiggling her haunches, POUNCE!, but the bug was too quick! The butterfly floated onwards as the little red watched, before burrying her snout in another flower, sniff, sniff, sneeze!

A shake of her head and she turned, forest green eyes blinking, wait.., was that rock there before?, slink, sliiinking that way, she sniffed curiously, before distracted again, this time by a fluffy seed floating on the breeze.

::It took all of his willpower to not roar when his mate laid on him, but instead, he hissed up at her in a whisper.::

"Will you get off of me, love?! Here I am trying to find our daughter, and you lay on me! I guess my spell worked too well......Please, get down, and we can watch her together."

Ada nearly jumped at her mate's hiss. She was just about to climb off of him before she spotted her tail being stalked," Hold on just a moment. My tail is being hunted." She whispered to her mate before wriggling her tail.

She started to move it around like a small worm for her daughter to pounce.

Was that a bit of movement in the grass not far off" Something of a pale green color, among the darker green of the grass" Something that was slowly moving toward them, barring the distratcions here or that that sent it off in other directions?

It was Dimitri, whom had awoken to find mom and dad gone and had been up for a bit crying for his parents. After awhile, he'd ended up moving out of the lair, following a scent....Strange how one so young and small would be able to do that, no' As his head lifted a moment to look around, a blue glint could be seen. His eyes, blue instead of the normal green, and a little hatchling-call was given out for mommy when he saw her before..

Dash, run, and POUNCE to momma's tail...Wait, someone beat him to it! He blinked to his bigger sister, before trying to take the tail from her, eyes green once more and growling playfully just as she was.

Momma had momma's tail first! She was still on her mate and closing her eyes to slits. Must-not-snap-at-children! The tug-o-war on her tail was driving her a bit nutty....Well it was driving her a bit up the wall because....It hurt. She wasn't going to lie, her tail was being abused.

Never the less she lay there, giving a small whisper down to her mate," Oowww..."
