A shriek and a cry came from Surion's room and a blue-haired streak zipped past the kitchen "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Torvil jumped with a start, which in turn toppled the current tech project he was working on... A gaming system of some kind. He looked up. "What's the matter Surion?" He asked, picking up the parts that had been scattered.

Surion stopped in front of him tears falling down his face "Dada you fix pweaasee?!!??" he held out his little hand and opened it, a tooth sat upon it's palm

Torvil stared for a moment. His first reaction was fear... He held that down for a moment as he slowly picked up the tooth form Surion's palm. "Surion... What have you been chewing on?"

"Nuffing, Sur playing" he whimpered staring up at his father, he opened his mouth and pointed, to a space on the top front

Torvil nodded and slowly tried to fight the rising panic... His kind didn't lose teeth... They were born with what they had..." He grimaced softly and sighed. "I think... This is something we'll have to talk to your mother about..." He said softly, offering a hand to Surion.

"Otay dada" he said sniffling and taking his father's hand

Torvil smiled and brushed his hair with the hand that held the tooth for a moment, before walking in search of Ala.

Surion followed clinging to his father's hand his other hand wiping across his face

Ala was laying on their bed reading

Torvil stuck his head in. "Love... Surion... Surion lost a tooth..." He tired to keep the panic from coming out in his voice... Failing horribly.

Surion clung to his father's hand and leg

Ala glanced up," he did huh, wondered when or if that would happen"

Torvil nearly face faulted. "What?!" He looked almost shocked. "But Torvin, Lene, and Vina never lost a tooth!"

"Well Vina isn't Kerrsalian, and the twins I think they had more of your genetics in then my original genetics, after all look how quickly they grew up, they had adult teeth cause they needed them, Surion seems to have following for the Kerrsalian genes, I really won't be surprised if he picks up more skills when the time comes for manifestation then the twins too" Ala said and sat up

Surion stared at his mom sniffling

Torvil slowly calmed down and nodded. "Yeah... I guess you're right... So... What do we do?" He asked softly, still a little, well, worried.

"Nothing..." Ala said simply smiling at her son

"Sur want dada fix" he whimpered clinging tighter

Torvil slowly pried Surion off and knelt down. "Surion, as much as Dada wants to fix it, there are some things Dada can't fix..." He softly patted his son's cheek. "I think this means that you're getting to be a big boy now... Granted you already are, but I think this means you're now an even bigger big boy..." He smiled softly. "I'm going to talk to your mother about what we're going to do about this tooth... So, until we're done..." He kissed the top of Surion's forehead. "Why don't you go run and play with your Dragons okay? I'll be right there..."

Surion stared at him for a moment before slowly nodding and turning to walk down the hall towards his room

Torvil stood and slid into his room with Ala, and shut the door behind him. "So... What do we do... With the tooth I mean..."

"Nothing, it can be kept as a memento, or thrown out, there's nothing else to do with it" Ala said leaning on her pillow again

Torvil nodded. "So... no ritual? No special little play act like I've read about in books?" He asked softly.

"Play act? what do you mean?" she quirked a brow at this

Torvil kicked at the floor a little. "Well... I was reading... about this fairy... of teeth? No... A Tooth Fairy..." He said softly.

Ala blinked "You can do it if you want... but I don't believe in that myth" she said honestly

Torvil nodded. "Well..." He blushed a little. "I think it would be kinda cute..." He looked at the tooth. "But I don't know..." He said softly. "I think that it really is a strange ritual... Because... Well... There isn't one..."

"I know" Ala said nodding "I kinda figured that out as a kid, a rather young kid"

Torvil nodded slowly and sighed, leaning against the wall. He tossed the tooth from hand to hand. "Well..." He sighed. "It comes down to this... Allow our son to have a little fun and some gold in trade for his tooth..." He tossed the tooth into his other hand. "Oh, not touch the subject at all, keep the tooth as a keepsake, and move about our business..."

"We can give him gold without trying to convince him there's a fairy who comes into his room to take the tooth from him" Ala said tapping the cover of her book

Torvil nodded. "That too is true, and it would also minimize the trauma to his innocence if/when he finds out..." He said softly, looking at the tooth in his hand with a soft smile. "This is a big event isn't it... I mean, in the scheme of things... It's rather small... But to me... This is proof that our little boy is growin..."

"Growing quickly, I kinda hope once he's older Krista and Mine's prediction turns true" she nodded and turned back to her book

Torvil chuckled. "You mean about him and Tinania?" He chuckled softly, holding up the tooth once more into the light. "Yeah... I think I could live with that..." He chuckled softly and shook his head. "Yeah... I could live with that..." A happy smile now graced his lips,.

Ala nodded "Same, even if I have to play matchmaker with Krista" she said quietly and continued reading

Torvil nodded his head, and eyed her for a moment. "Good book?" He asked softly with a smile, slowly pocketing the tooth, and moving over towards the bed, where his horde was hidden.

"Just the one Kal gave me, I'm determined to at least learn how to welcome her child into this world in Kerrsalian if nothing else" Ala told him

Torvil nodded and slowly pulled the board lose, grabbing a shiny gold coin. He smiled and slipped it in his pocket. "Well I'll leave you to your studies... Till later..." He chuckled softly, slowly standing up. "Tho, if it's not too much trouble, can I get a kiss?"

Ala nodded and looked up with a soft smile "Of course"

Torvil smiled and leaned down for his kiss, purring softly.

Ala returned the kiss contently breaking it slowly and looking up at him for a moment before returning to her book

Torvil smiled and gave her hair a single soft kiss before her hurried out the door to Surion's room.

Surion sat on his bed playing with a dragon waiting for his father

Torvil entered the room and walked over to his bed, he sat down and brushed his son's hair. "Hey..." He smiled.

"Dada fix?" he asked looking up at him

Torvil shook his head. "Dada can't fix...." He said softly, and reached into his pocket and pulled out the tooth and the gold piece. "But he will give you a gold for the tooth... What do you say?"

Surion's eyes lit upon the gold and a grin spread on his face "Otay!"

Torvil smiled and held it out to him. "Go put it with your other shinnies..." He chuckled softly. "If you have any..." He smiled, slowly sliding the tooth back into his pocket.

Surion nodded and ran across the room and squeezed behind the toy box with the gold, when he came back out he grinned and ran over to his father "Sur give dada shinies too!" he said and held his hand towards his father wanting to drop it into his father's hand

Torvil smiled and opened his hand, chuckling. "Sounds like a trade..." He chuckled softly.

Surion smiled widely and dropped it into his father's hand, it was a bolt.. with a washer

Torvil stared at it for a moment, noting that it was a bolt to the engine block of the car. He sighed softly and looked at Surion, unable to be mad at the child. Instead he smiled, actually quite happy, because now he finally knew where they had gone. The car was now running, and he was happy about that. He pocketed the bolt and washer, and kissed his son's forehead.

Surion giggled and hugged his father

Torvil had a plan for the tooth and the bolt, he smiled and hugged Surion. "So my little man... What are you up to now?"

"Sur play" he said grabbing his dragon again

Torvil smiled and scooted over. "What Sur going to play?" He chuckled softly.

Surion shrugged "'owbout tickle dada!" he said and then pounced

Torvil laughed and grabbed his son in a tight grip. "Oooo I don't think so..." He chuckled, tossing his son softly on the bed, and started tickling him instead.

Surion shrieked happily trying to return the favor of the tickles

Torvil laughed and slowly stopped tickling his son, giving him a chance to pounce again.

Surion didn't hesitate wanting to get his dada as he pounced

Torvil laughed and fell back with the pounce, letting his son get some tickles in.

Surion giggled lots enjoying ticking his father

Torvil laughed, slowly starting to laugh so hard he was crying. That was the point he lifted Surion up off him. "Okay, okay, you win!"

Surion looked down at him his tail moving happily back and forth "Dada fun" he said

Torvil smiled and slowly put Surion down. "Yeah... I think so too..." He chuckled and brushed his son's hair.

Surion cuddled with his father resting

Torvil smiled and looked down at his son. "I love you Surion..." He said softly.

"Sur love Dada too" he said giving off a yawn

Torvil smiled and kissed his son's head, starting to hum a dragon lullaby.

Surion smiled happily and fell asleep

Torvil smiled and kissed his forehead, laying there. He closed his own eyes, and hugged him tight, falling asleep himself.
