"Just a few more minutes, love, and we'll be there." *Aurthur grinned down to his mate, who was blindfolded in his arms, as she could not fly just yet. It was his mate's Hatching Day, and he had a huge surprise for her! He finally spiraled down to the ground and set his beloved down on her feet. There was a soft breeze blowing, but other than that, it was silent. Aurthur then took hold of his mate's blindfold and pulled it off.*

"SURPRISE, and Happy Hatching Day!"

*It was their friends and family, in the clearing that they had picked for their family gathering! And indeed, all of the invitations had found their marks, the entire Shimmerscale clan, from the eldest of the dragons to the newest hatchlings, their great, great, great grand children were all present. Aurthur beamed proudly to his mate, leaning in to give her a kiss as the family went to feasting and catching up with one another.*

"I hope you like your surprise, dear.....I kept pushing off the gathering, sending out messages to everyone. I wanted everyone to be here to celebrate your Hatching Day, my love, so we could all show you how much we love you, and how important you are to all of us."

((OOC Note: This thread is open to all friends and family of the Shimmerscales that would like to give their blessings to Icer on her Hatching Day.))

She had clung a bit to her beloved as she felt the wind, though soon she was on her feet, and blinking as the blindfold was taken away.

Oh love...She gave him a nuzzle and grinned, watching the hatchling play a rousing game of tag, while the guards and there families chatted with kin.

Later, the games had died down so the family could feast. and she would wait s usual, until everyone had something.

*He had his plate of food at last, and the entire family was seated and waiting to eat until the last of them had their food, and only then did the feast start. There was companionable silence for the first half of the meal as they ate, and then, being the troublemaker he had always been, he grinned and sat back a bit, calling out to his mother a few seats down.*

"So how old are you now, Ma, about a million years old?" *This caused a burst of chuckles and laughter from the rest of the family.*

*The family recluse, the only one who could match Storm for the time that she spent alone and away from the family, had even left the isolation of her room to join the family for the feast. She was sitting a few spots away from her son, Aurthur, and almost right across from Icewing. Surprisingly, she spoke up for the Shimmerscale Matriarch.*

"It is rude and impolite to ask a lady her age, especially when that lady is your mother, young Drake."

This is true, Icewing. A smile to Celeste as she spoke up. She was happy that her beloved was tolerating his mother, at least for one day.

Just know that I am old enough to still whoop your tail. ::A sweet smile then to their grown son.

*He gave a chuckle, peering down at his daughter from his mate's side.* "I'm older than most everyone at this gathering, you know, and even I'm not afraid to say my age. Age is just a number, and all that, you know. As long as you live happy, the number of years you've been alive doesn't really matter."

Oh! Then I suppose you wouldn't mind at all telling us exactly how old you are, would you father? I've never heard you say how old you are, and I would like to know.....I bet even mother would like to know, wouldn't you mom' *This was directed not to Celeste, whom had laid his egg, but to Milicent, his father's mate, whom had actually raised him when he was turned into a hatchling by Storm*
