Off to the cliffs to learn about heritage

Ala walked through the house with the last of the necessities "Are we almost ready to go?" she called out to her husband

Torvil looked about his bags shoving a few last minute no tech items in there. "Yeah! Just gotta make sure I don't have anything modern..."

"Nothing, make sure we have claw, make sure we have our cliff garb, bring absolutely anything you think we might need that is not going to cause a stir." she said and shut the cell phone off that she carried and dropped it onto the beside table "That cave is just really a single suite should we look into a bigger one since Surion is older now?, after all who knows he may even grow while we're there and a boy does need his alone time at times... and so do we"

Torvil chuckled. "Yeah, we'll look..." He nodded, double checking and tossing out a few things that got back in, he made sure he had all their claw. If need be, he could always work and get them more.

Ala nodded and left the room to help Surion who she KNEW she'd have to take stuff out of his bag from

Torvil soon joined her once he was suuuure, there was nothing in there that would cause any sort of stir, in fact, in the Toybag for Surion, he intended to pack the spears and swords his grandmum had gotten him... He was about that age...

Ala was nearly done and had his clothing gathered up a couple stuffed dragons she was sure wouldn't cause a stir and already had half of his play swords in the bag

Surion stood watching her holding his blanket

Torvil smiled when he looked in the bag. "You read my mind..." He said softly to his wife as he tossed two spears in as well, one Torvil sized, the other Surion sized... And one medium one just in case he grew, he double checked the swords as well.

"I think that's it" she said folding the flap over the top of the bag

Torvil nodded. "Yeah...All we have to do now is get there... Nether or Fly?" He asked.

"We have all this stuff and Surion to take, what you think would be easier?" Ala asked glancing at her son

Torvil tapped his chin. "One of us take the stuff, the other Surion Via the nether... would be faster... And less drag..."

Ala nodded "Well you are the stronger of us, and I seem to have rather good control of the Nether, I might as well take Sur"

Torvil nodded. "Yeah... Go on ahead... I'll catch up..." He smiled, starting to gather up all the bags.

"All right son we're going to play a game ok?" Ala said picking her on and his blanket up

"A gamme?" Surion asked curiously

"Yes, you have to see if you can keep hidden till we get to the cliffs ok?" Ala said moving to lift the blanket over him

"Otay!" Surion said and clung to the blanket after it went over his head

Ala smiled and blew a kiss to her mate and poofed out

Torvil wasn't far behind her, having had all the bags rather close by, but he had caught her kiss, and he planted on his lips before he nether jumped to the other side, then once more to the Cliffs, right in front of their cave. He slowly started to walk in.

"Good boy, mama will get you a treat" Ala was saying to Surion as she pulled the blanket off his head and he giggled

Torvil smiled and dropped the bags near the shelves that were made to have clothes. "I'm proud of you Surion, good job at that game..." He smiled.

Surion giggled and grinned before running off to explore the cave

Torvil smiled and started to unpack, putting Surion's toys near the 'toy' alcove.

Ala smiled "Should be interesting month or so, I really do want him to have a good grasp of the ways of his heritage"

Torvil nodded. "And I think I could use a refresher as well... It's been a long while..." He chuckled.

Ala laughed "Yeah it has hasn't it. I'm going to have to learn a lil more while I'm here too"

Torvil smiled and moved to her, pulling her into a kiss and purring. "Yeah... But it'll be fun..." He chuckled, scanning the room for Surion.

Surion was splashing water in the spring in their bathroom while sitting on it's edge

Torvil chuckled softly but kept a good eye on him anyway, love of water or no... He still watched his child like a hawk at the cliffs.

Surion looked over his shoulder at his father "Dad play wif Sur?" he asked

Torvil smiled and walked over. "Sure Sur..." He chuckled softly, walking over, having not brought his shoes at all.

Surion grinned and splashed his father with water from the spring soon a he was within range

Torvil laughed softly and chuckled. "Cute!" He laughed, moving to sit by Surion, even as he was splashed.

Surion laughed and turned "Dada like water too?" he asked him curiously

Torvil smiled. "He likes it... Not as much as you and your mom do... But then..." Torvil reached out and held his hand above it even as his feet went in. "Dad... Can't control water like mommy can..." He smiled. "His gem does different things..."

Surion blinked "Otay" he said with a happy grin and returned to splashing the water in the spring happily

Torvil chuckled and kicked his feet a little, looking over to Ala to see what she was doing.

Ala was puttering around putting away everything they brought and making sure they had food making note of what food they needed

Surion leaned further over the water trying to catch his father's feet

Torvil's head snapped towards him and he smiled, lifting them for him so he wouldn't fall in.

Surion giggled and promptly tickled his father's feet as soon as he could reach them

Torvil laughed softly and smiled, watching his son as he played.

Surion yawned, it was about that time again... nap time

Torvil smiled and pulled himself up from the pools edge, reaching and picking up Surion with a chuckled. "Do you know what I see..."

"What dada see?" Surion asked

"I see a dragon that needs to do the long sleep, so he can change..." He chuckled, nuzzling his son, and tickling his belly.

"Long sleep? change?" Surion didn't quite get that

Torvil chuckled and moved to the pallet. "Sometimes... We sleep for a looooooooooong time..." Torvil chuckled. "And when we wake up something about us is different..." He chuckled softly, kissing his son's nose.

Surion nodded slowly "Uhm... otay..." he said

Torvil chuckled and smirked. "I'll explain it again when you're older..." He smiled. "But first... A nap..."

"Otay dada" Surion said with a yawn and cuddled against him

Torvil smiled and lay down on the Pallet with Surion, not expecting to fall asleep, but he did want to hold his son while he did... You never know when they grow...

Surion took little time to fall asleep

Torvil too, fell asleep, as having the small child up close to him was soothing and calming.
