Topic: Punishment

Since she decided to wrestle with Alex in the Inn her punishment was five days of watching the new clutch. Easy peasy. A walk in the park. A piece of cake. She was after all the baby sitter. After making sure everything was put away in her room she shoved her hands in her pockets whistling a tune as she set off to find her parents.

Momma was waiting patiently for her daughter's arrival. Alexander too had five days, but these first five belonged to Darcy.

*Aurthur hmmphed and thumped his tail. He was broody around the eggs, and he was particular fond of anyone but he and his mate watching over the eggs, and that much could be read in his expression alone*

Her head popped into view. A smile on her face. Slowly she came into the room. Twiddling with one of her braids upon seeing the look on papa's face. She moved first to hug mama placing a kiss on her snout. Next she moved to hug her father and kiss him as well. Stepping back she finally took a look at the nest. A low whistle escaping her lips. Kneeling down she inspected them and her smile grew. Though she had many siblings she had to admit to herself the thought of more did make her happy. She loved her ever growing family very much. Rising back on her feet she looked from papa to mama, "So...Is there anything I need to know in particular?"

She asked looking from her father to mother. Really she'd only baby sat newborns and hatchlings. She had yet to nest sit. It was going to be rather interesting.

Thrumming as she was hugged and kissed by their daughter. You have to turn the eggs, carefully, like this.

Snout was lowered to the nearest egg and she carefully nudged it over.

Your father will stay with you, just in case.

She smiled sweetly and brightly, "Great! Me and dad can bond!"

With that she shifted to her dragon form and settled down right beside papa.

*Aurthur was glad that his mate did not object. It was true, she needed some time away from the nest, but the moment that she stepped away from it, there could be no doubt that that broody male would be right there to coil around the eggs* He would be the one to turn the eggs, he would be the one incubating them, he didn't know why his daughter was there, though he did thrum softly as he was kissed*

Give it time papa; Darcy would explain. She smiled to her mother and then to her father. Really this wasn't so bad. Maybe mama really wanted Darcy to keep dad company. She could do that.

I am fine, my daughter......*He moved up against his mate, and his wings were half spread over the eggs. He was more broody than usual, and his tail had already curled around the nest, that gleam in his eyes as he nuzzled his mate*

Grinning proudly as she looked over the eggs in the nest, soon Aurthur had moved against her. A light, playful nip to his snout, then she looked back to Darcy.

Now love.., just how am I supposed to take a walk?, I was thinking about visiting the market, to pick up a few things.

Aurthur Shimmerscale

Visiting the market' To buy things for the hatchlings? *He perked up at that. One thing about Aurthur, he was worse than a grandparent when it came to his children, he loved to spoil them at every opportunity, though he still looked hesitant to leave the nest.*

Icer1978

Date: 2010-09-05 10:22 EST
Yes my love, to buy things for the hatchlings, and little ones, chuckling softly. I thought I would go to at least look my love, giving her mate the you already spoiled them look.

Another nuzzle given, peering down to the nest, or I could just stay here..

Aurthur Shimmerscale

Date: 2010-09-06 08:52 EST
*yes, the reverse psychology worked wonders, and he shook his head* No my love, you have been cooped up inside for a good amount of time now, so I think a good walk will do you some good. *He nodded sagely, ready to spoil the young ones some more*

Darcy watched all of this quietly before finally speaking up, "Mama you go on for a nice walk. It's a beautiful day and you could use the sunshine. Dad and I will be fine."

Sweet smile she was trying to take her punishment in peace here!

Icesong's bright blue egg which has red speck from the magic of the choker. instead of being cold, it was warm, almost hot to the touch. icesong is right now is asleep.

If you insist my love, did either of you want me to bring anything back for you? A smile given, eying the nest again, nudging a few of the eggs over gently.

Are you sure Darcy", was she a bit hesitant to leave?, just a little.

Darcy Angel

Her gaze went to the egg that must be Icesong's. She knew perfectly well why her mother had made her an egg again. Slight frown before she looked to her mother with a bright smile, "Yes mama I'm sure you need the fresh air. And I'd love some apples if it's not too much trouble. Also some yarn and knitting needles? I kind of want to make some blankets for when the hatchlings come. Since fall is coming and winter will soon follow."

This was good logic yes it was.

*Aurthur curled snuggly around the eggs to keep them warm, smiling to his mate* Well, I did have a list of things that i wanted to get for the hatchlings......But perhaps I should wait until we go together to get them.

*The reason why was soon made apparent for he pulled out a scroll, and when the scroll was fully unrolled, it stretched halfway across the nesting chamber. The hatchlings would be spoiled indeed.*

Apples, yarn and knitting needles, a smile to Darcy, then she gaped at the list her mate unrolled.

Perhaps that one will wait until we both can go my love, a nuzzle to her daughter, and mate, then she slid down the hall, toward the entrance.

Her daughter's list in her head, apples, yarn and knitting needles, she would not forget.

She smiled brightly to her mother, "Thank you so much mama."

Happily nuzzling her back she giggled to seeing the list. Now left alone with her father she shifted into her dragon form to help keep the nest warm. Silent for a moment before she looked at her father, "Papa? I kind of want to do something special for mama. Just because. It'll be from David and I both. We were wondering what she might like. I know Christmas is far off. But I figure it'd make her happy if we did something for her. Or make or buy her something. But you can't tell mama okay' I want it to be a surprise."

*He looked to his daughter curiously, but he answered her question readily enough.* Your mother is a very simple dragonelle. She has no need of anything overly fancy, she values her home, her friends, and her family over any gifts of treasures that she could every receive. She does have some jewelry that is very fancy, but she wears it because I crafted it myself. Ahh, there it is! She prefers gifts from the heart, rather than the coin pouch.

*He nodded sagely for a moment, thinking, and then added.* She has a fondness for scale oils, perhaps she could use a new blanket' OH! I had almost forgotten. Your mother adores the Iceflowers that grow around the lair, but she wants to plant more. I think one of the best 'gifts' for her is to find some plants that would thrive around here and plant them.

She listened to all of this nodding every now and then as she slowly absorbed it. Hearing the bit about the plant she perked up grinning brightly, "Papa that sounds perfect! I'm sure she'll love it! David has a bit more of a green thumb than I do. I'll find the seeds and him and I can plant them together. I'm sure she'll be overjoyed whenever they bloom."
