Drake had meet Moon at the door when he heard the knock, and openned the door. About to ask what she needed, when he seen the small hatchling with her. He nodded lightly to everything that she told him, before comforting her with the knowledge that he would do everything to ensure that Icer recovered.

Once he carefully took and craddled the dragon in his arms, he carried her to the room that had been set up. Nodding for Moon to follow so she would know where she was at. Once inside, he would place the hatchling in the incubator, as well as hooking the needed things to the dragon to help in the recovery.


After pressing a few buttons to activate it, he would nod to Moon again before slipping out of the room. As there was a monitor that would keep up well enouygh with her vitals.. As well as there being an alarm if somethign went wrong.

She had already imprinted upon her mother, blue eyes blinking as she was carried to the waiting incubator.

Small wires had been hooked up to her tiny form, monitors for her vitals, which right now were very strong.

Blue eyes had closed as tiny jaws parted in a sleepy yawn, hatching really did take a lot out of her.

Wings tucked uselessly against her sides, the newborn hatchling curled up in the blanket provided. The incubator keeping her warm and safe.

He chuckled softly as she darted around his question, but respected her right to have her secrets. So he wouldn't press her to answer him. "Actually I do have something for you to help me with. When you are done eatting. I'll show you what to do incase I am not here." Taking another sip of the coffee.

Once she was done eatting, and had taken her plate to the sink. He would set his cup in the sink as well. He then moved from the kitchen, and lead her down the hallway to where Icer's room was at. Once inside, he would show her how to feed the dragon, as well as how to read the moniter.

While he was in the room, he would check Icer's vitals. Taking note that they were strong. "There's a plate of cut up meat in the fridge. Could you get it for me?" Now looking to Cadaria.

She slept on the floor next to the incubator her daughter was in, curled as tightly as she could so as not to be too much in the way. She would remain as long as she was allowed, keeping watch when she was awake, keeping an ear cocked for sound when she slept. She did not even go home to her mate, though he knew where she was and was not worried, rather had encouraged her to be here. She ate little and drank little, more concerned with keeping watch over her infant daughter. Not even Drake himself had been able to talk her into leaving the room except when she had to heed nature's call.

The tiny hatchling had slept for most of the night, tail curled around her tiny form, covering one of her ankles.

Soon she had shifted positions, rolling from her belly onto her side. Blue eyes still closed. The machine attatched to her vitals still showed strongly.

Little tiny grunts and growls were given as she curled up in the blanket.

Finally she woke with a hungry cry, her head was lifted, though her eyes just didn't seem to want to open yet.

Hunger, she had not fed since she had hatched the night before, and now her tiny belly was rumbling.

Cadaria

She finsihed her food and followed him. She walked gently in to the dragons room. She looked at the moniter and nodded along as Drake told ehr how tor ead it and what to look for. Then she went to go and get the plate of meat shed seen in the fridge.

She brought the plate upstairs. "Here we go." Shed never fed a dragon, never cared for any creature besides a few stray cats now and again. She would let Drake show her the ropes, then try it herself once he said she could.

Drake Jones

Date: 2010-11-25 21:12 EST
"Thank you." Drake smiled to Cadaria, as he openned the incubator. Then set the small plate of cut up meat near the hatchling. Close enough that it wouldn't have to move to much to find the plate, as well as checking to make sure there was some water in it's bowl.

After closing it so the hatchling could eat in peace. He looked to Cadaria. "That's all you have to do." Murmured to her as he patted her shoulder with a glance to Moon for a moment. He then headed back to the kitchen, to fix the mother dragon something to eat when she woke herself.

Icer1978

Momma was there, even through the incubator, she could catch the scent, and now another scent. Finding the edge of the plate by bumping it with her snout, the hatchling soon found her first meal.

Little jaws parted, snapping up a bite sized piece of meat, soon she had swallowed the morsel, then sniffed around for more.

She wouldn't finish this plate, it would be too much for her tiny stomach.
She found her water the same way, by bumping her snout into it, soon she had taken a few slow, tiny gulps.

Finally blue eyes opened slowly, and she peeked out of her protective case, a tiny little squeal given to momma.

Maybe she was trying to tell her mother she would be alright. Peeking back to the plate now, she rolled the other way, curling herself into the soft warmth of the blanket.

Another tiny yawn, and her dinner soon had caught up with her, naptime again.

Cadaria

Date: 2010-11-25 22:34 EST
Cadaria watched him as he opened the incubator and sat the plate of meat near the little hatchling.Then the same manner was taken with her water and Cadaria always noticed he was very gentle and quick, as well he always closed the ltitle door on the machine. "That seems easy enough."She smiled to the pat ont he shoudler then watched as he left the room.

Cadaria looked in at the little hatchling and smiled. She had found her food and water and even gave a Chrip?A Squeek? It soudned much like a little baby bird might. Cadaria smiled softly and went to leave the room, looking over then at the larger dragon whom had not moved very much at all. It lay there protectivly like a parent to an injured child. Cadaria left the room quietly.

She would find Drake in the kitchen. "When I learned your missing friend was a dragon I was expecting something larger, not a hatchling."Shed been reading up on dragons.What they ate, how to care for them. Shed found the book in his house. "I think I understand how that incubator works, and how to feed and care for the hatchling, but what about the larger dragon?" Shed not learned the dragoness's names yet. "I want to be as helpful as I can be."

She had basically move din to his house for that very purpose.

He looked over his shoulder to her at her comment, and chuckled softly. "Normally she is about the size of a full grown hippo. My mentor must of shrank her down to help her heal faster." He then nodded to the food he was preparing now.

"One step ahead of you." Grinning at her, as he started to fix a plate for Moon. He then nodded lightly to her words about wanting to help out as much as she could. With him glancing to her a moment, as he set the plate and food on a tray.

"You never did answer me on if you just like me, or if you have stronger feelings for me." Playfully teasing her as he moved back to deliver the food to Moon. Leaving Cadaria there to soak in the words he just left her with.

She'd awoken at her daughter's tiny squeal, and seen the food left for her, though Icer came first. Snout was lowered to the incubator and she crooned and purred softly to the tiny hatchling. A low soft combination of sounds she reserved for Icer alone. She had watched her eat, and fall back asleep. Once she was satisfied the infant was fed she lowered her head to eat what had been brought to her.

She sat up, stretching herself carefully so as not to knock anything over or unplug anything. and left the room very quietly, but only for a short time. She left the manor and returned in less than forty minutes with a basket hanging from her jaws. The door was nudged open and she re-entered the manor and went right for Icer's room.

Carefully she sat down, setting the basket before her and unpacking it. She lifted the panel of the incubator as she'd been shown and gently tucked a new baby blanket and a stuffed dragon dollie for her infant daughter. The incubator was gently closed, and she relaxed a little, sitting back on her haunches to watch Icer sleep.

She would stay awake for the next two days, watching her precious baby.

Icer1978

Date: 2010-11-27 22:32 EST
A tiny forepaw had found it's way between her jaws as she napped.Blue eyes opening when she heard the door of her incubator opening.It was momma.

Cuddling into the brand new blanket, and curling up against the stuffed animal, she peeked out at momma, giving a soft muffled chirp.

Soon her forepaw was replaced between her jaws by the tip of her tail, and she gave a soft, playful squeal.Maybe momma wanted to play?

Cadaria

Date: 2010-11-27 23:05 EST
Cadaria watched as he preped the meal for the larger dragoness. She listened and nodded along. "Your always one step ahead. Your used to this." She waved her hand around a sif that described what she meant. She saw there was mostly meat larger pieces on that plate of food for the larger dragoness.


He got the tray before she could reach for it.Then she blinked at him on his comment. She could sit there and soak in it or go after him. She let him get a few steps ahead of her out of view,knwoing a blush would rush her cheeks. But as soon as that passed she followed. "We're friends I would hope.., and your my boss. " She answered his question a bit too easily. "

As he delievered the food and swallowed her words. Yes she did hope they were friends, and yes he was her boss. Those were true words.But she hadnt really answered him, so she chose to change the subject. "Before I forget, I wanted to ask you what their names are? The hatchling and Dragoness's names?" That was a good segway. After alls he didnt want to call them just hatchling and lady dragoness.

Drake Jones

Date: 2010-11-28 13:19 EST
He chuckled softly to that. "We are friends, and you do work for me. Yet your eyes are telling me that you wish that there was more than that between us." Over his shoulder to her, flashing her a smile that hinted that he seemed to know more than he probably should. A wink followed it as he set the tray on the table.

"The hatchling recovering is Icer. That is her mother Moon." Motioning to the pair, before motioing to Cadaria. "Moon.. this is Cadaria. She will be helping with taking care of Icer. This is for you." Another wave of his hand to the food, before turning to head out of the room again.

Cadaria

Date: 2010-11-28 16:17 EST
Her brows rose at his chuckling. "My eyes say nothing at all.Perhpas you should get your vision checked " She looked away as he looked over his sholder to her. Shed have to be more stealthy, less dreamy from now on.For she knew what he eyes likely said .. that she liked him more than she should. She saw the wink and hid her blush as they entered the room.

She looked from the hatchling to the mother and nodded. Icer and Moon. She would would call them now. "Greetings dragoness Moon."Cadaria bowed her head softly and looked over to the hatchling in the incubator. "And greetings to you little hatchling Icer." Another bow. Drake waved his hand at the tray of food and headed out Cadaria stayed behind to avoid him a little.

Icer1978

Date: 2010-11-29 08:47 EST
Blue eyes peeked out of her protective case, meeting the eyes on the woman peeking in.

A soft, muffled chirp of greeting perhaps, before her focus returned to momma. Still curled in her new blanket, and snuggled beside her toy, she had started to figit a little more than normal.

Soon the chirps and squeaks she had been making were replaced with a small cry. Someone was uncomfortable.

Moon Lyght

Date: 2010-11-29 10:51 EST
She would humor her daughter's increasing playfulness with gentle playing, once or twice opening the incubator to allow her thin tailtip to dangle and twitch that Icer might try to perhaps chase with tiny paws and claws. She would occasionally reach in to pet and stroke her lovingly, knowing she could not take her out and hold her as she longed to to.

When Icer would tire she would tuck the blanket around her gently and watcher drift to sleep.

Moon Lyght

Date: 2010-11-29 10:58 EST
She'd tucked Icer in after a little gentle interaction when the infant began making uncomfortable sounds. She checked the bedding, dry. She checked her food and water, some had been eaten but not all. The next thing was checking for injury, there was none. There was only one thing to do. She gently began stroking Icer's tummy to see if she could illicit a burp from the tiny baby.

Patting, however gentle might have been too rough for the little one and she knew just how to handle babies, having been a mother twice now thrice over and expecting twins. Yes, she knew what she was doing. It wasn't too long before Icer did just that, the little gas bubble expelled itself in a cute little burp. She chuckled as she had to wipe a little spit up clean but Icer seemed more comfortable. Indeed she'd snuggled up to her blanket and dollie.

*Aurthur had just recieved word of his mate's whereabouts. Leaving the lair in his family's safe care with double the guards, he rushed to the Manor as quickly as his wings would carry him. He sounded a greeting before he actually made it to the Manor to alert those of his arrival. Now that he knew his mate was safe, he wanted to be at her side without a moment's hesitation, and he did not feel like standing on ceremony at this point in time. Alighting outside of the Manor, he fidgeted and shifted his weight from side to side impatiently, waiting to be allowed in. As much as he wanted to be with his mate, he wasn't going to barge his way in.*

Icer1978

Date: 2010-11-29 18:40 EST
After the burp, tiny taloned fingers reached to try and grasp momma's. Trying to tug her mother's finger toward her mouth. Upset little cries becoming newborn giggles and babbles.

Soon she had snuggled back into her blankie, curled beside her favorite toy, momma's finger was released, though the infant would not take her eyes off her momma's face.

As momma closed the incubator, she squeaked, the tip of her tiny tail again wiggling from between her jaws.

Drake Jones

Date: 2010-11-29 19:26 EST
After making sure that Icer and Moon had what they needed, he would head through the house to the front door. With a smile and pat to the shoulder of Cadaria, before looking out to see who let out the roar. He sighed a moment before openning the front door.

"I see that you were told about Icer. Right now she barely remembers her mother, and no one else. It will take time to piece her mind back together. You may come in and see her, but I ask that you let us handle her recovery." His words held a firm tone that there would be no negotiaion.

"Another thing is.. She will not be leaving here till she is deem fit to take care of herself again. Do you understand?" Yes.. Drake knew that the dragon before him had been worried about Icer. Many had been worried, and there were three people always watching over her. Drake would remain in the doorway till he was convinced that was fully understood, as well as his rules would be followed.

Cadaria

Date: 2010-11-29 23:04 EST
Cadaria filled the water dish carefully and checked the food in Icer's incubator.She also gave Moon some water. "Please let me know if you would like anything."She would come and go fromt he room softly,careful not to wake any sleeping dragons.. nor to intruput any moments. She had been very attebtive to them both,making sure the room was cozy for both Icer and Moon. That the incubator stayed clean and free of any dust or dirt. That the water and food for Icer was always clean and fresh.

She had gone to cleaning the living room when she heard Drake speaking to someone at the door. Cadaria saw it was another dragon. A larger dragon. Her brows perked as Dakre set down the rules. He was firm for good reasons. Icer needed protection,and saftey.

Cadaria went back to cleaning,making sure the table was cean, the chairs vacumed, and the floor as well. She tidyed the books,and then went on to the kitchen.

Moon Lyght

Date: 2010-11-30 12:42 EST
Cadaria was now a familiar and welcome sight, and she always regarded the woman warmly when she came and went, helping to care for her daughter. When she heard Aurthur's call from outside she smiled, and lifted her head. She looked at Cadaria. "Dinnae worry lass, 'e's a'right.." She was actually larger than her son-in-law, but the fact she'd been purposely trying to stay out of the way might have made this less obvious. "Woul' ye mind tellin me what's goin' on, lass? Ah prefer tae stay 'ere wit' mah daughter. Ah'd appreciate it."

She gave the woman a warm smile as she shifted herself and her pregnant bulk. Then she turned her attention to Icer again, who had played so adorably not terribly long ago. She wished her own mate would come visit as well. After all he was technically her adopted sire and that was just as good as blood. She sighed softly, and waited.

Icer1978

Date: 2010-11-30 15:37 EST
She had worn herself out again. The tiny hatchling's eyes were closed and her breathing steady.

The rising and falling of her chest, along with the soft beeps of the machines still hooked to her guaranteed that the hatchling even though tiny, still had a chance.

Her vitals still showed strongly, and she cooed softly in her sleep, muffled by her own tail tip that was still being used as a pacifier.

The tip wiggled and squirmed between her jaws as if attempting to escape, but it would not wake the little one, she needed her rest.

Cadaria

Date: 2010-11-30 23:09 EST
Cadaria brought in a fresh set of blankets,a new bowl of water and food for Icer.And a fresh bowl of water for Moon. She smiled to Moon as the dragoness spoke. "I havent been around many dragons."She looked to the door way again. "I can tell you what I know. Drakes allowing vistors. Hes being very careful about it. No ones allowed to try to heal Icer, nor take her away from the manor. Nor is anyone alowed to stay very long. Gifts can be left, but vistors are cautioned.Drakes the one in charge. "She smiled looking to Icer. "He doesnt want her being over worked,she is still healing ."She looked in on the sleeping hatchling.

"Drakes really the one you should talk to.I am merely hired help."But she was glad to be of help, her smile showed that. " I'll be tending to you and Icer as well as the guests that come. And I am to help remove anyone who deosnt agree to the laws Drakes set down." Magic users had to vow not to sue magic on icer or be met with force. Cadaria, though not the strongest of magic weilders, was part of that force.

Moon Lyght

Date: 2010-12-01 01:06 EST
She nodded to the woman's words. "Aye, even though ye be 'ired 'elp yer appreciated, lass. An' ah thank ye fer bein' ere 'elpin' wit' mah daughter. She be th' light o' mah life" Watching the infant sleep with a fond smile. "An' ah've nae issue with Drake bein' in charge tis 'is 'ome after all, isnae?"

She settled herself, down a bit gratefully drinking some of the water from the bowl she'd been brought. "Ye've been doin' wonderful, an ah 'ope Drake realizes 'ow good 'is 'elp be" Nodding thoughtfully to herself almost. Yes, she'd seen the way those two looked at one another when they exchanged glances even in swift passing or silence. She personally thought it sweet.

"Since ye've done so well 'ere, iffin ye ever need work, once mah wee ones be born, iffin ye like Ye might come 'elp around mah lair... Mah mate be nervous and ah bit o 'elp might be welcome til 'e gets used tae bein ah sire." A good natured smile before she rested her head on her forepaws. and slowly closed her eyes. She'd been more tired as of late spending every waking moment with her daughter and watching her until she could no longer hold her eyes open.

Aurthur Shimmerscale

Date: 2010-12-01 06:39 EST
While I wish that I could take my mate home where she belongs, I understand completely that the current situation makes that impossible. I only ask that I be allowed to stay here with her until such time that I am able to take her home. She is my beloved mate, after all, and I will do anything and everything in my power to see that she is well taken care of. Now may I please see my wife?

Drake Jones

Date: 2010-12-01 11:49 EST
He waitted for Aurthur to finish speaking, before he spoke again. "And what about the hatchlings? Who is there to make sure they are taken care of while you stay here?" His brow rose as he wanted to make sure that the hatchlings were taken care of as well. As the male before the dragon had made his own trips to the lair.

Again Drake would remain in place in that door way untill he was now convinced that the hatchlings were taken care of. As well as waitting to see how the dragon before him would react.

Aurthur Shimmerscale

Date: 2010-12-01 12:38 EST
*Aurthur was extremely impatient to see his mate, but he could understand the concern* It would be a fool who would think that I would leave my family unguarded, no matter what the cause. All of the guards that were enlisted during the search are still there. But namely, Icer's birth parents are there to watch over the children, as well as her brother, and a plethora of others. Not to mention Matthew is there, as well as several guards that I have hand picked, chiefly among them are Tiamatus, Icer's adoptive mother's mate Apollo.......Is this list sufficent for you, or shall I go on? I want to be with my mate, I assure you, everything has been taken care of the way that it should be. I would not be standing here before you otherwise.

Drake Jones

Date: 2010-12-01 19:20 EST
Drake just stared at Aurthur for a few long moments, before s faint nod finally came. "Very well. As I said before. She doesn't remember anything other than her mother at the moment." Finally turning to let him enter, and moved to lead the way towards Icer's room. With a nod to Cadaria once he reached it.

"This is Cadaria. She is helping me with her care." This to Aurthur with the hint in his voice, that if she told him something.. It was the same as coming from him. A glance then to Moon at her look for a moment.

"One more thing.. In the next few days.. I am going to start working on her mind. When I do.. Everyone will need to leave the room. Reguardless of who they are." This to the three present with a tone of voice that it was final.

Cadaria

Date: 2010-12-01 23:11 EST
Cadaria smiled to Moon.Listing nodding along. "Hes a very good boss, he knows what hes doing." That about Drake.. and that was all she said to that. The offer to help with new born hatchlings surpised her.She was happy about the offer, never before had shed be so proud of herself.She must have been doing a grand job if Moon offered her such a job. She would think about it then give Moon her answer. "I will consder that offer, and let you know."

Then she let the dragoness rest. And she slid from the room only to come nearly nose to nsoe with Drake.

She bowed her head to the male dragon. "Greetings." She stood aside. "Moons just gone off to sleep.." She mentoned just to let them both know. She knew Drakes rules were law she wasnt going to be any trouble. She moved aside and went to go down stairs to make a light lunch and think about what the dragoness had purposed.

Aurthur Shimmerscale

Date: 2010-12-05 08:14 EST
*Following Drake, he listened and nodded* I will follow your rules, this is your home, and you are far better suited to try and fix her mind than I am, I would only make things worse, and I would rather she remember nothing of this, if at all possible.

*Seeing his mate, now in her hatchling form, his heart went out to her, and he rested nearby, laying his head down on his paws so that he could keep his eyes on her at all times.* Oh my dearest love......You have been through so much......I'll never leave your side again.

Icer1978

Date: 2010-12-05 20:34 EST
The hatchling had been slumbering, tiny ears perking as she heard a voice outside her incubator. Though she wouldn't open her eyes yet.

She remained curled up within her blankie, little tiny talons curled around into a little fist, which had replaced her tail within her jaws.

A soft little coo to the one outside keeping watch, her own mate, though she wouldn't know it.

Not until her mind was set right. Inside the incubator remained warm,the tiny hatchling curled against her toy, until finally blue eyes opened, peeking out.

Was that daddy?

Aurthur Shimmerscale

Date: 2010-12-06 08:53 EST
*he smiled at his mate when he noticed her watching, and he scooted a little closer to the incubator, careful not to scare her* Hello my darling heart.....You should be resting....You are young and need your rest, after all.

Drake Jones

Date: 2010-12-07 12:13 EST
Drake would slip into the room, with a glance at the two dragons for a moment. He then moved over to Icer to check the vitals, with a light nod to see that they were still strong. He then took a moment to look her over, with a light nod that her various scars were healing nicely.

"You two may stay, just don't send any type of energies towards Icer or me. As well as not distracting either of us." To Moon and Aurthur, as he openned the incubator. Carefully moving to place a hand on the ice dragon hatchling.

He then closed his eyes and started to slowly. Very slowly piece the hatchling's mind back together. First starting with who she was, and the more happier moments of her life. One piece at a time of course.

Icer1978

Date: 2010-12-07 12:48 EST
She cooed, and giggled, peeking out at the larger that was her mate, or was he daddy?

Her mind telling her that he is like me. The hatchling could tell who was like her, and who was not.

Drake was not, he didn't have the snout or the wings. The moment the incubator opened, she peeked out, then lay still as Drake's hand was placed upon her.

Soon a little of the fog seemed to lift from her mind as Drake started to piece her mind back together, slowly.

Icer, she now remembered her name. A soft little squeak as she peeked up at Drake, still chewing upon the teething toy Audrey had brought.

Aurthur Shimmerscale

Date: 2010-12-08 09:37 EST
*Aurthur had never felt so helpless. He felt like he should be doing more, but there was nothing that he could do but trust in Drake's abilities. His eyes were always on his mate, but he didn't move a muscle, didn't say a word.....He didn't even blink. He looked like a very realistic statue in his stillness. He didn't want to take any risk of disturbing Drake and being responsible for irreparable damage. Were such a thing to happen, he would never forgive himself.*

Drake Jones

Date: 2010-12-10 11:38 EST
Drake would do one more bit of mental reshuffling of Icer's mind, before carefully and slowly breaking the mental connection with the hatchling. So not to over whelm her, as he lightly scratched the top of her head. A glance to make sure she had food and water, before closing the incubator.

A side glance to Aurthur for a moment at his unblinking stare, and shook his head. "Aurthur. I know you are worried about her and all, but that stare is just creepy." Not meaning to offend the dragon, but to him. It was creepy at how he just stared at the hatchling.

Icer1978

Date: 2010-12-10 15:22 EST
The mental connection broken, blue eyes peeked back out of the incubator, toward the two residing there.

A little more reshuffling let her recognize a few. She knew momma, though she still peeked toward her mate as if he were daddy.

A soft coo given, perhaps it would help to ease his mind.

Cadaria

Date: 2010-12-10 23:48 EST
Cadaria stayed out of the room while Drake worked on Icers memories. She tended to the manor.Cleaning palces that were already clean, tidying books in to perfect order. She lingered in his music room. She would run her fingers arocss the piano keys, ina soft melody now and againa s she went about dusting.

Aurthur Shimmerscale

Date: 2010-12-11 08:47 EST
*Aurthur chuckled softly as he looked away from his mate to settle his gaze on Drake.* I am almost certain that were our roles reversed, and you were in my position, you would be wearing a very similar look. As you know, I am sure, we dragons take but a single mate for our entire lives. My mate means more to me than you could possibly ever know. She is just as much a part of me as my wings and tail are.

*He fell silent for a moment, then returned his gaze to his mate upon hearing her soft coo, and he rumbled softly, affectionately in return, closing his eyes and rubbing his snout gently against the incubator, the closest he could come to nuzzling his mate*

Moon Lyght

Date: 2010-12-11 15:49 EST
Moon had been resting not far from the incubator but not too close and had roused when she heard her son-in-law. She rumbled in greeting though she was now often tired and wasn't doing much. She'd left for a little while to get Icer another gift and had returned with a pacifier that she slipped into the incubator before gently petting her infant daughter and laying back down to doze.

Aurthur Shimmerscale

Date: 2010-12-13 08:42 EST
*After nodding his head in greeting to his mother-in-law before she dozed back off, he turned his head to Drake.* Drake.....Would it be harmful for her if I were to....take her out of the incubator? Just for a few moments to hold her?

Drake Jones

Date: 2010-12-14 19:31 EST
Drake nodded to Moon as she fell back asleep, then a glance to Aurthur at his request. Pondering on it for a long moment, before a sigh crossed his lips. "Very well.. but I do not think at the moment she truelly knows who you are. Don't keep her out of it to long." Granting the request, as he slipped out of the room.

Aurthur Shimmerscale

*Aurthur was overjoyed that his request had been granted. He hadn't dared hope, of course, for fear of it being refuse, but now he cared only that he got to hold his mate in his arms again, even if she did not remember him. Opening the incubator, he very carefully lifted his tiny mate out and sat on his haunches, curling her to his breast as carefully and lovingly as he had their own children.*

Hello my precious one......*Here he would pause to kiss her cheek softly* There now, I have you. There is no reason for you to fear......I won't let anything happen to you. Not ever again, I'll never leave your side, I promise.

As she was lifted from the incubator, she clung to her mate, naturally so as not to fall.

Wide blue eyes peeking up at the one she thought was her daddy and cooing as he placed a kiss on her cheek.

Snuggling close in his arms, she gave a tiny yawn, and purred, blue eyes never leaving his face, memorizing again.

*He smiled lovingly down at his mate, watching her, even as she watched him. He knew she didn't remember him as his mate yet, it may be some time before Drake restored her memory enough so that she would remember him as such, but he could tell that some part of her recognized him, the way she looked at him. His eyes never left hers, and he crooned softly, soothingly to her, pouring out his love for her in those noises.*

Even with her toys in the incubator, wide blue eyes remained locked upon her mate. She was trying, but couldn't remember, finally nibbling on a forepaw as she remained close.

His crooning soft and soothing helped to lull her again, and a sleepy little yawn, snuggling against Aurthur.

She knew she was safe, and would always be so while "daddy" held her.

*He crooned a soft lullaby to his mate, rocking her gently in his arms until he was certain she was asleep. He wanted to hold her longer, but he decided not to push his luck with Drake, he was a guest after all, and obligated to follow his rules.

Using his tail, he quietly opened the incubator and with infinite care placed his mate back inside, leaning forward to kiss her brow gently before covering her in the blanket within and quietly closing it once more. He curled himself as close as he dared around the incubator. His eyes ever upon his mate, wishing there were more that he could do.* Sleep sweet, my little love.

Between the lullaby and her mate rocking her in his arms, the hatchling had finally closed her wide blue eyes. Sleep claiming her tiny form.

Not even when she was placed back within her incubator would she wake, though she did give a muffled coo. A forepaw wrapped into a tiny fist already between her jaws as she napped.

Dreaming of peaceful things. Both her toys, the dragon and the lion lay beside her within her safe habitat. The heat keeping her warm enough.

She wouldn't be able to take the cold until she had grown and aged.

Over the next few days, Drake would check on Icer's vitals. As well as spending a few hours a day working on piecing together her fragile mind. As well as making that locks that trapped the more painful thoughts even stronger.

After each session, he would make sure she had food and water. Before leaving Moon and Aurthur to take over watching her. Leaving it up to them to make sure that no one dared to bother her.

The little dragonling was a fighter, her vitals still strong. Each day that Drake worked on piecing her mind back together, a little more was uncovered to the infant.

Though only time could tell how much she'd truely remember.

After each session, she would lap a little bit of water, and nibble bits of food, before snuggling into her blankie in the incubator.

She was growing accustommed to the protective bubble around her.

Blue eyes would peek out sleepily to Momma, and Aurthur, and Drake, until the warmth lulled the tiny hatchling into a peaceful slumber.

There was always a nice clean set of blankets for Icer,Moona nd Aurtur is he wished to sue them to lay upon. Cadaria kept all the food fresh and the waters clean for each dragon. She was good at knwoing how to serve them each. And the "healing room."As she had coined it was always free of dust, and warm enough for all. Ytenever too wam either.

She didnt other them while Drake pieced together Icers mind. She would clean down stairs, or read or head out for a while check in on her students still wild at play for winter.

But she would be there when ever she was needed

Always happy to see that icer was doing better with each passing day.

After doing everything that he could for Icer, he would carefully pack her things up. He would then bundle the hatchling up before carrying her back to Moon's lair for her to recover there. The hatchling spell would slowly start to wear off now.

The mental barrier aroundher mind had been carefully changed, while still keeping the memories of her being enslaved would remain locked away. It would also slowly let her remember the more happier ones to come free on their own.

Cadaria said her goodbyes to the little healed hathling.. "Fair thee well little one,I'll come by and see you and Moon.As soon as I can."Wave wave from the door as Drake left. She would miss the wee one, and maybe shed take that job Moon had offered, shed gotten used to dragons.
