Moonshine and his family were very appreiciative for the safety and care they had been given for the past few months by his mother and father in the Shimmerscale Clan. However, no amount of collected treasure offered to his parents could make the young dragon soothe a hole in his soul that had been growing or a concern he had. Moonshine was a crafter by nature, an artisan with metal. He was also used to caring for the dwellings of his family.

Being around so many kin and resting, he hadn't crafted a single metal item in over a month, his muse was roaring in his heart to be freed. Aside from that, he noticed mother and father were ever so busy with the many young they adopted and cared for with those large and caring souls of theirs. Little time was left to tend to many needs their massive lair was aquiring. This was something the young dragon was seeing as a bright point he and his family could tend to while they stayed and sorted out things.

He would discuss his plans with Myrlene later in the morning. For now he left his wife snuggled up with his son among a pile of furs and lumbered into the halls. His green eyes were taking note of many things just in the hallways as he walked that could be improved or needed repaired. Lighting fixtures, hinges, door handles and settings. Perhaps improving some of the lighting. A peek into the libraries he loved as a little thing was almost too painful to look at it. Father and mother had done much to improve it, but he could see some sturdier book shelves could help here and there.

Yes, yes....he could do much to help his kin. It wouldn't be flashy or ornate, but it would get the itch scratched a bit and relieve his muse. He made his way into the lower areas of the lair were Aurthur told him a forge was set up. Soon, something would be heard. An old draconinc chant, a drinking song perhaps, a strike of hammer on metal and the bellow of a dragon breathing and the crackle of dragons fire kissing metal.

Moonshine's eyes lit up behind the goggles he slid over them now. Glowling metal was slowing being crafted into an ornate light fixture. Perhaps a torch or candle holder, maybe a lantern hook or even a housing for a magic gem to glow in. Whatever he was crafting, scales gleamed on it, the begginings of claws and wings emerged, and even if it was a mundane item, the artisan was reflected in it.

Sleeping she may have been, but once her mate had woken up so did the soul bond that tied them together. A bond she cherished and loved that kept them together through a rough 2 years of mating and togetherness. Lene moved a bit, then opened her eyes. The room in the lair was spacious for a dragon, all consuming for a 3 foot Airii Lupinossai, but she feared nothing.

It was odd that. She feared nothing and that fact just brought a smile to her purple furred muzzle. A quick check on Calcifer proved he was still fast asleep, and like most children she wagered growing every second he slept. She added a few more furs and a blanket around him to keep him warm then slipped away from the sleeping den in the middle of the room. A quick dressing of jeans and shirt and she was walking down the halls, following not the easily heard ringing of hammer on metal, but the ringing of a hearts love singing and tugging on her own heart.

Finding him soon in the lower levels working metal she was amazed at what he was turning out. Ornate holders, brackets and even common things had a fine, masters touch to them. She gave a soft smile as she looked over a simple door knob worked with fine etched marks to show dragon scales on it and the draconic alphabet. Maybe it was destined of a nursery door. She was glad he was crafting again. She couldn't remember the last time his hammer met metal.

She found a stool in a cool corner and watched Moonshine work, and fell asleep for a little while to the sights of her husband working magic in metal form.

Soon Moonshine took a break from working metal. For the moment he had just let his muse run to refamiliarize himself with the craft. A few candlholders were made, a fine sword halfway finished, and it appeared he was working on making a template for that replacement gauntlet for his father Aurthur. Stepping away from the anvil and heavy wooden tables bearing his wrought metal wonders he saw his beloved on a stool fast asleep.

Touched at the sight of her coming to watch him, he moved over to her and gently lifted her up into his arms and let her sleep more. It was time for some fresh air, and it was time to find out what his extended family was up to today. He left the lower level smithy and started walking the halls and tunnels of the Shimmerscale Lair on the hunt for Icer, Aurthur or any other relatives.
