Va'nei closed her eyes as that sorrowful song began to tumble out of Tuesirth. She could feel his anguish, and it tore at her heart. She couldn't even begin to imagine losing a mate, losing young ones.. especially younglings you hadn't even known existed. When he began to speak, she winced, ducking her head slightly. She supposed he had a point.. Noroth likely wouldn't go with him willingly, having come to accept Va'nei as his mother - as his only parent, in truth. But that didn't make the whole situation any less tragic. She finally opened her eyes as Tuesirth requested to see his son, and looked over at him, nodding slowly.
"Of course.. come with me." Sliding off the rock which had been her perch, she stood and started toward one of the nearer walls of the valley. She'd hollowed out a deep nook and filled it with the softest moss to make a proper nest for Noroth, and it was where the youngster usually slept. It was to this hollow that she led Tuesirth, and moved inside slowly, the interior gently lit by soft luminescent mushrooms. As she saw the nest and the sleeping hatchling, she beckoned to Tuesirth, indicating he should come closer, then spoke in a near-whisper.
"If you like, I can awaken him.. so that you may meet him properly. I think you should know your son, Tuesirth.. he is yours. And I will not bar you from seeing him whenever you like. You may come to my valley at your whim and see him, or even just stop by for no reason at all."

He followed in a heavy trudge, each step feeling harder than the last. He had a son... and he was going to see him. Did he take after his mother? Or maybe after him? How old was he? How big was he? The questions were rapidly swirling about his brain as he was led to the little one's place of rest...
The child was a split mirror image of himself as a hatchling... the little one had taken after him rather than his mother. He felt his breath hitch up in his chest a moment, and had to remind himself how to breathe. When she offered to wake Noroth he nodded subtly, unable to tear his eyes from his offspring. He barely managed to trudge forward a couple more steps, almost scared to come near him, and he eased down on his knees - eyes still latched upon the child.

Kneeling down beside Noroth when she saw Tuesirth nod, Va'nei reached out and gently ran her hand across the hatchling's head, then down so that her fingertips trailed over the softer, more vulnerable scales of his throat and chest. As she did so, she spoke, a smile on her face and in her voice.
"Noroth. Wake up, little one. Momma is home, and there is someone here that you need to meet." She'd continue to gently pet the youngster until he awoke, then turn and gesture toward Tuesirth. The glow of the mushrooms in the cave brightened slightly, making it easier for all of them to see each other.
"Noroth, this is Tuesirth. Can you say hello?" She wondered.. would the youngling recognize his father? They had similar scents, and it wasn't entirely out of the realm of possibility.

Noroth awoke slowly with the very comfortable pettings, his eyes fluttering open with ease as he cooed. His little legs came up with paws going for her hand in a playful manner until the man nearby was motioned to - which captured the tiny creature's attention quickly. His wide eyes blinked up to the mountain of a man as he stared, lying on his side with no inclination to move.
"H... herro," he mutters, taking the time to carefully enunciate as speech was still iffy for him. But with the word out as clearly as he could manage, he smiled - an adorable gesture across his scaly maw as his tail swayed a bit much like a happy puppy.

Just seeing the child smile tugged at his heart as it throbbed in his chest - he was... perfectly a child. So sweet and innocent, despite his loss. And those eyes, they absolutely melted his heart. But he was still very nervous. How as he supposed to introduce himself as the father to such a creature? Would he understand?
He inches forward on his knees just a touch, feeling as if he was dragging a mountain behind him in the movement. His shoulders lower as he brings his head a little lower. "Hello, little one," he murmurs, a deep sound rumbling in his chest.

The hesitancy of Tuesirth tugged at Va'nei's heart. This poor male had been through so much. He deserved to have some small measure of happiness. She withdrew her salve-covered hands from the petting of Noroth and instead draped them across her legs as she crouched, looking from father to son and back again. Finally, unable to take the silence any more, she spoke again, her voice remaining soft and a smile still on her face.
"Noroth, he is your father." She wasn't sure the youngling would even understand, but she had to say something. Noroth deserved to know who he was, and that he existed, that he was there.. or would hopefully be there, anyway. "I think perhaps he would like to be part of your life, if you will let him. Would you like that?"

Noroth continued to stare up at the man, not seeming to understand the words of his mother. He babbled happily as he managed to wiggle his heavy little figure over onto his belly and then up on his paws. He waddled over to where the man sat to plop himself right on the knees and drop his heavy head on his lap - still staring up at him with the perfect eyes of childish innocence. He didn't know this man, but he smelled good. It reminded him of his old den - the smell of the earth and plant roots, and his brothers and sisters. He liked it. He liked this man for it.

Seeing the child come closer made him inhale sharply and hold the breath, obviously nervous. Instinctively Tuesirth poised to move back, to move away, but... he was so sweet. He came right up and flopped in his lap, watching him with those eyes. He felt bile rise in the back of his throat, but managed to keep himself calm. Hesitantly he lifted a hand, and would bring it over to carefully pet the top of Noroth's head.

He was still learning. It was always good to introduce him to new words. They'd revisit the topic of Tuesirth being Noroth's father at a later date. For now, it filled her with joy to see her young one showing such affection to his sole remaining biological parent, even if he didn't understand what that meant. Keeping her arms tucked against her body, her gaze rose from where Noroth was draped against the other male and instead met Tuesirth's gaze, her golden eyes shining while a smile curled across her lips. She spoke after several long moments, her voice quiet and gentle.
"I do hope you will return and see him in the near future. You need not be alone, Tuesirth. I offer my companionship, should you wish it."

Tuesirth continued to watch the little one in his lap until Va'Nei took his attention, where she would likely see the uncertainty in his eyes. He remained silent for a while, eventually bringing his gaze down to Noroth again.
"... he doesn't know who I am," he murmurs. The worst part was that he wasn't sure how to feel about it.

"So stay. And teach him who you are. He is still young - he took to me as his mother, he will come to accept you as his father, if you give him time. And if you are here."
She smiled at him, her expression filled with encouragement, trust, and belief. Belief that he would make the right choice, that everything would turn out alright. She was optimistic by nature, this would work out for the best.

Where the Earthwarden was filled with hope, the Mountain was filled with doubt. It was clear in his heavy gaze and the thin line of a grimace set on his lips. He turned his eyes down to peer at the tiny hatchling again... his heart began to melt. He was... too adorable for his own good.
He continues to pet Noroth over his head and along his back, his hand still a touch unsteady but it was getting easier. "... if you will have me here in your sanctuary, then here I will stay."

"Of course. There is plenty of room for the both of us. Besides, I will need someone to help care for him while my burns heal." She sat there and watched them for a few moments more, then unfolded herself and stood.
"I will leave you two alone for a bit. I find myself thirsty." Moving out of the little hollow and back out into the valley, she moved toward the water and knelt down, carefully drinking without her hands, even though that meant her hair fell forward and into the flowing water.

Tuesirth didn't say a word as she stood and wandered off, fairly certain she would be well. This was her domain, after all. He remained with the little one, continuing to pet his head and even rub his belly when allowed. He really was a sweet little thing... it made him a little sad that he couldn't recall his own years as a newborn or as a youngling. The lengthy years at rest beneath the desert left him with a gaping expanse of emptiness in his memory, with barely a few spots here and there that held any information. But here... he just tried to enjoy Noroth's company.

After lingering near the river for a time, Va'nei took to her dragon form and launched into the air. She flew away from the valley and was gone for only a brief amount of time, returning swiftly with a large elk clasped in her jaws. She dropped the animal's carcass near the hollow and then returned to her human shape, before finding a thick patch of grass to flop down on. Nestling into the plush greenery, she gazed up at the sky, watching the clouds pass in content silence, her arms resting crossed over her chest.

Noroth perked his head up as the heavy body of the elk flopped on the earth - noting Momma having returned and dropped it, before she took to the human form. His tail wagged about in excitement as he looked to the animal - lunch time! He hops from the male dragon's lap and gallops over to the body to tear right in, almost toppling over the mound of awaiting meat in his excitement.
After chomping down several hunks of meat from the carcass he glanced across the grass to where Momma lay, and then bit down on the leg of the elk and began to thrash and pull. He couldn't sever the limb himself, thus left him looking like a little hatchling at play.

He watched the little one take up the time for lunch, rushing over to the elk and ripping right in. It brought a faint smile to his lips to see he had no trouble feeding when a carcass was put before him.
The wrestling with the leg made him tip his head to the side in curiosity. What was he trying to do? Against his better judgement, or rather paranoia, Tuesirth rose to his feet and trudged closer to where Noroth was eating. He would reach down with both hands and take the hip and leg of the elk - and with a twist and a yank, snap it off the body. From there he would simply sit back a couple of paces and leave the little one to it.

Seeing the dragon turned human approach his lunch brought the curious eyes upon him, that slanted into the most adorable glare as he continued to tug. When hands were moving to take the elk from him, Noroth let out a growl past the thin leg set in his jaw - an attempt at intimidation. This was HIS lunch!
But the meal wasn't stolen - instead, the leg was snapped off the body. The leer shifted back to the cute wide eyed stare for a moment, before the little guy proceeded to drag the heavy leg over towards his mother - where he would promptly drop it beside her and sit next to her head, nuzzling his nose to her cheek and babbling quietly as he attempted to stir her.

Va'nei was resting peacefully as she listened to Noroth eating, although her eyes opened and her head raised to look curiously in that direction as she heard him seemingly struggling with something. It was thus that she observed his attempt to remove the leg from the carcass, Tuesirth's assistance, and the subsequent presentation of the leg by Noroth. Va'nei chuckled, turning her head so that she could nuzzle Noroth lovingly as she murmured a quiet reply.
"Thank you, my sweet boy. Go back and eat now. I will eat it in a bit."

Noroth babbled softly and nuzzled his head to her own for a moment before rushing back over to the carcass to resume digging right into the meal - keeping a wary eye on the man that was continuing to stare. If he wanted the meat, then the hatchling had every intent to fight him for it. This was HIS meal! Grr!
