There was a soft rustling about the cave as Joman, Malkar, and Korvil moved about, dropping off wrapped packages of meat around the sleeping pair.

Surion was awake and listening to the sounds, chewing on that matted dragon as he watched the movement through the side of the playpen "Nynyanyanyanya"

Torvil woke slowly. "Mmm?"

"Nyanyanyanynya" Surion was still watching the tall figures and kicking his little legs contently

Torvil smiled and got up. "Hey guys."

"Hey..."

Surion blew content bubbles babbling as if joining the conversation

Torvil smiled and picked him up. "Check him out."

The three men came over to look at Surion.

Surion stared up at them and after a moment got excited and swung his arms causing dragon to go for a flight into the chest of one of his lookers "aDaaahhhh" he kicked his feet happily in his dad's arms

Torvil started laughing, and the other men joined in.

"He's got a lot of energy..." Joman said, holding the dragon.

Ala lifted her head the sounds of laughter waking her up "Huh?"

Surion blew bubbles at them "aDaaaahhhdaahhh"

Torvil smiled. "We have visitors..." He blinked and looked down at Surion. "Uh..." He burst out into a bright smile.

The others rose their brows.

Ala crawled out of the bed and stretched "Welcome back guys" she said mid-yawn

Surion waved his hand up at his father's face "Adahhhdaahhhdaaahhhh"

Torvil beamed and leaned his head. down. "That's right... That's right!"

The others stared at Torvil for a moment, and looked to Ala. "Hey." They all said.

"Good hunt?" she asked walking over to them

Surion blew happy bubbled kicking his feet

Torvil smiled at his son and rocked him around the room as he moved to sit.

"Good enough, Torvil helped a lot... We were able to come home sooner than anticipated..."

"I bet your mates are happy about that" she smiled

They all nodded.

"Vina pounced me..." Joman Chuckled.

"Mikiri barely let me get away..." Malkar grinned.

"I snuck out while Mitizimi was cooking..." Korvil admitted.

Ala laughed "And you all had the same destination"

"We met up on the path..." They grinned. "Torvil told us he was born, so we had to come see..."

Ala smiled "Sounds like a reasonable excuse" she grinned

They all smiled.

Torvil was absolutely beaming.

Ala looked over at her mate "What's happening love?" curious at his expression

Torvil chuckled. "Adahhhdahhhdahhh" He mimicked Surion to the letter, but slowing it a little.

Ala stared at him then it clicked and she grinned "Well that would explain the expression"

Torvil grinned and brushed Surion's face with his fingers.

The other men smiled.

Surion went after his daddy's fingers "Aaahhhhh"

Ala turned back to the three men "So that would be your grandson, nephew or brother in law depending on your relation" she laughed

The three men smiled and nodded their heads.

Torvil chuckled. "I think he's hungry love..." he moved over to her and handed Surion to her.

Ala looked at him and smiled taking Surion from him. She headed over and took a seat on the couch and proceeded to feed him

The men smiled and bowed their head. "Well we must be going..."

Torvil smiled softly.

"I imagine your wives are anxious to spend more time with you" she said with a nod "I'm happy you could get away to meet him"

They smiled. "Well we best hurry..." They said. "Else we won't hear the end of it..."

Ala chuckled and waved to them as they hurried out of the cave

Torvil smiled softly and nodded sitting back down.

"Interesting thing to wake up to" she mused

Torvil nodded and smiled. "Yeah

"You seem very happy love" she said with a grin

Torvil chuckled and smiled. "Well Surion did just name me..."

Ala laughed softly "Is that so" she looked at him with playful eyes

Torvil grinned. "He called me Adahhh..." He chuckled softly.

Ala chuckled "well that was sweet of him"

Torvil grinned. "Yes it was..."

Ala smiled and lifted her sun for a burp

Torvil purred and smiled at her.

Ala got her resounding burp out of her son then sat him on her lap

Torvil chuckled softly and smiled at her.

"So love what's the plans for the day" she asked handing Surion his dragon

Torvil grinned. "Whatever you want to do... We could go shopping..."

Ala nodded "Ok, I'm really not picky love" she smiled happily

Torvil got up. "Lets go and get Surion some more stuff..." He grinned.

Ala giggled and set Surion down and grabbed his carrier and helped Torvil put it on figuring he'd be very interested in carrying him

Torvil grinned and kissed her once he had the carrier on. "Thanks..."

Ala returned the kiss and smiled fetching their son and putting him in it along with the blanket and dragon

Torvil brushed his son's head and smiled.

Ala headed for the cave entrance with the diaper bag on her shoulder

Torvil smiled and started to hum as he walked.

Surion happily gummed his dragon riding with his dad

Torvil smiled and kept walking keeping pace easily with Ala. "Such a lovely day..."

"Very lovely my very happy mate" she grinned and wrapped her arm around his waist

Torvil grinned and purred looking around, and then kissing her ear. "Mmmm... Love you and Surion."

"Love you too my love" she purred

Torvil grinned and nuzzled her.

Ala purred and leaned her head against his shoulder as they walked feeling very happy

Torvil smiled as the entered the market, he made a straight B-line for the Toy booth.

Ala laughed softly when she saw where they were headed

Torvil grinned weakly. "He needs some big-boy toys too..."

"He's not hat big of a boy yet" she replied with a giggle

Torvil grinned. "But I am..." He purred.

Ala laughed and shook her head "Silly"

Torvil grinned and reached the booth, getting a few spears and swords and putting it on Vina's tab.

"You better keep those out of his reach for quite a while yet" she told him seeing his purchases

Torvil smiled and touched the end of one. "Dull..." He smiled softly. "And a few are wood..." He unsheathed and sword and grinned. "More for when he's older, and stuff to keep me in shape till he is."

"Still, he certainly isn't ready for them dull or not" she said with a nod

Torvil nodded. "I know..." He smiled softly. "and I'll keep them away from him till then..." He strapped them on his back.

Ala smiled and nodded "Thankyou love I appreciate it"

Torvil grinned. "Though he does get to see them before I put them away... I must introduce him early..." He smiled softly.

Ala shook her head and sighed. before heading away from the toys booth

Torvil kissed her cheek. "Fine love... I won't..." He nuzzled her softly.

Ala purred at his nuzzle "Now where to love?" she asked

Torvil chuckled. "Food..." he smiled softly.

"Food would be nice" she chuckled

Torvil grinned. "And it's cheaper now too..."

Ala laughed "Gee I wonder why that would be" she gave him a gently prod in the ribs

Torvil chuckled. "Because your husband hunted his ass off is why!"

"What?!? your ass?!? you better go back and get it I like that ass!" she smirked

Torvil burst out laughing. "Well if you want to see if it's still there you're open to try..." He gave her a wink.

Ala giggled "Your son and those toys are in the way I'll have to wait"

Torvil chuckled softly and smirked. "When I take it off to eat then..." He purred.

Ala giggled and gave his ass a squeeze as they walked

Torvil shivered and smirked. "Feels like it's still there..."

"I don't know yet" she said squeezing again

Torvil shivered and purred. "Mmmm..."

Ala purred as they walked and squeezed again

Surion looked up at his dad "Adahhadahhdahhh"

Torvil smiled and kissed Surion's head. "Yes, Adah is being being teased by mommy..."

Ala giggled "Teasing am I" she gave a rough pinch on the same cheek that had been squeezed

Surion blew bubbles and reached up for his dad's face

Torvil gave a soft yelp and leaned his head down towards Surion.

Ala giggled pinching again

"Adaahhhdahhhadahhh" he grabbed his dad's nose

Torvil yelped on two fronts this time a bit louder. He started to chuckle as they reached the food vender.

Surion pulled his hand away and whimpered his little mouth curling towards a cry

Torvil smiled softly at his son, and kissed his forehead softly. "Sorry son.."

Small red tears trickled down his cheeks his face still showed his threat to cry

Torvil brushed his cheek softly. "Shhh shhh..." He whispered softly.

Surion stared at him for a long time before calming "Adahhdahh"

Torvil smiled and nodded. "Adah" He kissed Surion's head and sat down on a stone in front of the vendor's booth.

Ala took a seat near Her mate and son smiling softly

Surion buried his little face into his father's chest and cuddled

Torvil smiled and brushed the back of Surion's head softly. "Two meats please..." He said to the vendor. "Vina's tab..."

"I think Vina might shoot us by the time we leave" she said with a chuckle

Torvil chuckled. "I'll pay her back..." He smirked. "You're not the only one who can make gems."

Ala grinned "Yes dear I'm aware of that"

Torvil grinned softly. "Time to give her another kitten..." He smirked.

Ala laughed "I gave her one of the crystals the other day when I got Surion the clothing"

Torvil grinned. "And I'll give her one before we leave..." He smiled.

Ala laughed and nodded "All right love"

Torvil grinned. "Just to see her pitch a fit..."

Ala laughed "You nevvverrr know" she grinned "Especially since you refuse to make the other thing"

Torvil frowned. "You do know why..." He said softly, tapping the stone as the vendor put the meat down.

"You already said love, it would be breaking rules" she said pulling her meat closer to herself

Torvil nodded slowly and started to eat.

Ala dug into her own meat keeping an eye on her son and mate as she did

Torvil smiled at her, and purred softly. "Hey Sur, how you doing?"

Surion had one hand gripping the front of his father's tunic, one thumb in his mouth and was asleep against his father's chest listening to the heartbeat within

Torvil grinned and purred softly, looking down at his son. "He's adorable..." He purred, and rubbed his back.

Ala smiled and nodded "Takes after his father" she said with a chuckle

Torvil chuckled. "But more his mother..."

Ala laughed "If you insist love" she said working on her meat

Torvil smiled softly. "Just facts..." He finished eating.

"If you say so love" she said again with a laugh before popping the last chunk of meat into her mouth

Torvil smiled and stood again. "Lets go ahead and head on home..." He purred softly.

Ala nodded standing and picking up the diaper bag "Might as well" she said

Torvil smiled softly and stood, walking back towards home.

Ala walked alongside him an arm wrapped around his waist "I'm glad you like the clothing I've had Surion in" she said softly

Torvil purred. "Makes me feel like we really live here..."

"Lately we seem to, we've been here half the time" she mused

Torvil smiled softly. "Is that really a bad thing though?"

"No, it's not" she said shaking her head

Torvil purred softly. "I like it here now..."

"You know... if it wasn't for the responsibilities to the shop, and to our creatures, and the distance from my best friend I'd say lets move here" she said

Torvil chuckled softly. "That would be nice... But yeah..." He shook his head. "This can be our other home..."

"It can, Our home away from home" she said with a soft chuckle

Torvil grinned and purred softly, nuzzling her as they neared their cave.

"And to think at one time we wouldn't be spending time here at all" she said softly

Torvil nodded slowly. "Yeah..."

Ala dropped the diaper bag near the door as they entered "I suppose this stuff your dad and gang dropped off should get put away" she said noticing for the first time the wrapped packages of meat

Torvil nodded and moved over to it, then looked at Surion. "Uh... Would you help me get him down..."

Ala chuckled and carefully took her son from the carrier and detaching his hand from the tunic before taking him and his blanket to continue his nap in the playpen

Torvil smiled and started to work on putting the meat up, placing the spears and swords away for later.

Ala joined him once she had Surion settled to continue sleeping

Torvil smiled. "He seems to be sleeping a lot more..." He murmured

"And staying up more at night" she grumbled

Torvil sighed. "I'll stay up with him tonight..."

"I wish he'd sleep more at night and stay up more during the day" she said with a sigh

Torvil sighed. "Well maybe he will soon..." He said softly.

Ala nodded "With all hopes... How long will this meat last packed away like this?" she asked handing him the last package

Torvil chuckled. "A few weeks..."

"Good, I'm sure we'll use it up the amount of times we've been coming back and forth.... You know... I wonder it the kingdom phone would bring me here..." she mused curiously

Torvil chuckled softly. "You never know..." He murmured.

"I'll have to try it some day, I know it will take me between the kingdom and home, maybe if I input a different 'home' it'd bring me here" she pondered this

Torvil smiled softly and nodded, taking some of the meat and munching.

Ala chuckled "Would be safer then learning to navigate the nether" she chuckled "You got to admit that"

Torvil nodded. "Definitely..." He chuckled weakly.

Ala smiled and walked up towards him wrapping her arms around his waist and looking up at him

Torvil purred and looked down at her, leaning in for a kiss.

Ala met his kiss happily and softly

Torvil purred happily and nuzzled her.

Ala's hands traveled along his back slowly as she deepened the kiss

Torvil purred loudly and pulled her closer and then broke slowly, rubbing his scruffy cheeks against hers.

"That's itchy" she said amongst her purr

Torvil's brow rose a little. "What does love?"

"Your cheeks" she said with a chuckle reaching up and running her fingers against the grain of his scruffy growth

Torvil shivered a little. "When did that start growing..." He mused.

Ala chuckled "I would presume while you were on the hunt since it wasn't there before you left"

Torvil scratched his chin. "Hmm... Guess I'll have to start shaving..."

"I suppose so" she mused wrapping her arm around his waist again

Torvil purred softly and kissed her forehead. "Unless you want me to grow a beard..."

"I like it soft, easier to nuzzle and nibble" she said with a purr

Torvil chuckled. "Then I shall shave it off post haste..."

Ala giggled and pulled herself closer to him holding him as close as she could

Torvil chuckled. "Kinda hard to though, with you latched onto me so tightly..." He purred. "Not that I mind...."

Ala smirked "It can wait a little longer" she said

Torvil grinned and ran his hands up and down her back.

Ala leaned up for another kiss

Torvil purred and kissed her.

A hand moved up over his back and under his soft white hair till is gently stroked the back of his neck

Torvil shivered softly and groaned. "Ala.... You're..." He bit his lip.

Ala pulled him closer deepening the kiss intending to cut off his words as her hand moved slowly and softly

Torvil shivered and leaned more into the kiss, wondering if they had the time.

Ala's over hand moved around his waist then played with his belly button as she continued to kiss him and play with his neck

Torvil shivered and moaned into the kiss. He wanted her soooo bad! He broke again. "Uhh... Ala... Please... I want..."

Ala looked up into his eyes "Want what" she murmured

"You..." He growled huskily, slowly nudging her towards the pallet.

"Is that so" she mused very slowly moving

"Yeesss..." He growled low.

"Why would that be" she said still playing and slowly moving

Torvil gave her a look that would have shouted teaser. He pulled her closer roughly and pressed his lips to hers with astounding force.

Ala purred loudly into the kiss her hands still moving as she kissed

Torvil roughly pushed her to the floor a growl in his throat. She'd gone and riled him, and now she had to deal with the consequences.

Ala purred and looked up at him with a smirk playing upon her lips

Torvil looked deep into her eyes as he worked at her clothing.

"Adaahhhdahhdahhhdahhhdahh" came Surion's little voice having woken up

Ala stared up at him her hands came to a stop

Torvil's face instantly changed and softened. He let out a loooonnnnng sigh and got up, moving over to the playpen to get Surion. "He might be hungry..." He mumbled.

Ala sighed and nodded sitting up

Torvil picked up Surion and held him with a smile, his fingers brushing his son's cheek.

Surion rooted but he also scrunched up his nose unhappily

Torvil sighed and moved to change him first and foremost.

"You ok love?" she asked standing up

"A little disappointed and riled with no release, but yeah I'm fine..." He chuckled and handed her the newly changed Surion to her.

Ala smiled softly "Sorry love, I didn't know he was going to wake up" she said taking him and heading to sit down

Torvil chuckled. "Not your fault..." He smiled.

"Well the riled up part is" she chuckled as she began to feed their son

Torvil chuckled. "Okay that's true..." He sat next to her.

Ala giggled "You could always shave while I feed him, perhaps fetch a 'babysitter' to take son for a 'walk' "

Torvil chuckled. "Or I could shave and snake a nap in... I was up most of the night with him..."

"Up to you love" she purred

Torvil chuckled and kissed her cheek, then got up to go shave.

Ala smiled and hummed softly a Dragonic lullaby to her son who though listening was a little too awake for lullabies to work

Torvil came back a bit later and flopped onto the pallet.

Ala sighed, she finished playing with her son but she wasn't tired and she could tell he wasn't either so she shifted her position on the couch and played quietly with him

Torvil looked up at them before slowly slipping off into a nap.
