The purple brute nodded slightly, understanding. He understood when it came to such things, she was loyal to those she gave her words to. "It's fine Gaelira, I understand."
Nurse Willow could not help but smile, nodding her thanks. "I have given my life to this place...I care for all these children with the rare hand of help..." she said quietly and sighed, suddenly seeming much older then her aging years. "There is one elf though, a lovely girl with twins always on her hip, she cares for the children as much as me...tries to come down at least thirce a week and helps the sickly ones." She smiled "it would be good to see this place shine like it used to."
Faeron looked at her with a questioning glance, wondering why she had laughed. Not that he minded, he found himself loving the chiming sound. All to soon, they were back at the office and his bag on the floor as Willow crushed him with another hug. "Be good my boy, be good."

"Sahar," Gem said, smiling. "I know her well, the twins are my niece and nephew. Her fiancée's my cousin." She smiled happily. "Though she won't be around in town much longer. Drannor's heading home to Taror, I doubt she'll stay here." She thought for a moment. "As for this place shining it again, that I can definately see to. I'm sure Julianne would not mind helping. There's only mabe ten kids with her at the moment. Maybe you could work together as one group?" Ashlere chuckled as the came into the room. "Back again, Gem," she said. "I know," Gem said,smiling. "I see everything you're doing."

Nurse Willow bobbed her greying head, eyes seeming to twinkle at the thought. "That would be perfect....they just keep on coming and truthfully, I need all the help I can get," she sighed softly, but smiled at the mention of Sahar. "Aye, Sahar, delightful girl," she said, bubbly nature back once more. "I'll get in contact with Julianne, see what our ideas are," she said

"I'll let her know about you all soon, though I have the feeling she'll like tell me off for not telling her about you all sooner. Not that it matters if she does." She laughed. If it was one thing she didn't mind, it was that particular human telling her off. That was something she could actually handle at the moment. They were good freinds, now that Julianne knew who shed been looking after for fifteen years.
Ashlere smiled. Then she looked up at her cousin as Gem said, "We best be heading off now. I won't forget."

The aged human chuckled along with Gem easily before giving Faeron yet another strangling hug. "Be good my boy, be good," she whispered messy his hair up and giving him a gentle push towards Gem and Ashlere.
Faeron smiled at the woman who had been his mother for the past 15 years and nodded slightly, shifting closer to Ashlere shyly. "Okay," he said quietly, fingers entwining with hers and ignored Willow's raised eyebrow.

She smiled at him, as she followed Gem out of the building. “Come on, I'll show you where I can live,” she said. “Ani and Gaelira wait for us there.” “Only one issue with that. Rasjar turned up, which was unexpected. He's Gaelira's mate at the moment. Luckily he's not pushing her for information as to who happened to make Ani choose them so early in her young life. Gaelira's refusing to answer him.” Ashlere laughed. “That dragon just can't help himself. At least he knows when to give up on things like that.” she smiled at Faeron. Soon they reached the door and they saw Gaelira taking to the sky, she seemed to know that they were coming home. A moment later, Rasjar shot out after her. Gem smiled. “I'll see you two later. Right now I have a lot of other things to see to at the moment. Including finding Julianne again. That won't be easy, she's always so busy with all those children that live in her orphanage.” Her voice was fond as she spoke though to them. “See you later, Gem,” Ashlere said. Gem smiled, hugged her and then Faeron and then hurried off towards her own home. Never once around Faeron had Ashlere even been formal when it came to talking to Gem, but that was something she could be when there was a need for it. “Come on inside,” she said. “Ani will be waiting for you, you know.”
Gem smiled as she headed up into her house. “Sorry for worrying you, love. There was something I had to deal with, and well, I guess you get to hear about what that was now.” she moved through the house, searching until she found him in the study. Moving across the room, she hugged him gently from behind and kissed his cheek.

Faeron's eyes widened at the mention of Rasjar. "You mean King Auraka's dragon?" he asked Ashlere quietly, following her and Gem down the street nervously until they came to a halt before Ashlere's home. "Okay.." he said, already calling for his little red bonded dragon with his mind as they entered the house.
Auraka looked up eyes trained upon Gem as she entered the room, hugging and kissing him gently, and could not stop the sigh of relief which left him. Hugging her gently back and pressing his lips to her brow, he just held her for a silent moment. "Yes, very much so," he rumbled quietly, chin resting upon her head.

"Yes, Rasjar is his," Ashlere chuckled. There was nothing about the other dragon that really was anything to worry about at the moment. Some of the time though, she knew that he could be annoying though. She led the way through the house, until they reached where Ani was. "Here she is," she said brightly. "Hello again, Ani."
Gem smiled, easily telling him about the things she had foudn out from Ashlere that afternoon. She pretty much told him everything, though she did wanr him not to tell anyone else about Ani yet. That was not something they would do until both Faeron and Ani were over twenty years old.

Auraka nodded along with her story, not seeming surprised by his wifes actions. A young rider and a young dragon could end badly for a lot of things, better keep it quiet and safe until they were old enough to be shown around. Himself and Gem could give them the training they needed, or they could wait until later if they wished. "I wont tell," he promised and shifted to his feet "let me meet my adopted son." He chuckled with a sight of his head, it seemed he had two children without even knowing. Ashlere and Faeron, not that he minded. Rasjar looked at Gaelira with a surprised expression, having heard the whole story from Gem and Auraka. So we shall teach this young Ani to be a real dragon? he asked his mate fondly, somewhat looking forwards to the idea of helping the young hatching who had no family. He was rather like his rider in that sense.
Faeron followed Ashlere though the house, running and hugging Ani tightly once they reached her and looked around for Gaelira and Rasjar. "Where are..Rasjar and Gaelira?" he asked turning to Ashlere, arm still slung over Ani's shoulder.

"They went home, back where their riders are. No doubt Auraka might eb coming over here soon, to meet you himself. Not that he's anything to be frightened of. When it comes to that, Gem is more the one to be worried about if you're on her bad side." She smiled. "One particular human's on her bad side, and he's not going to hear the end of it any time soon." She laughed.
Gem smiled. "I have the feeling Ashlere will already know you would say something like that." She smiled. "We still haven't had any more clues as to the whereabouts of my sister's have we? I haven't seen anything regarding that green dragon yet."

Faeron nodded his understanding, feeling somewhat nervous at the idea of meeting the king. The queen had been surprising enough, but seemed nice enough and was known for her kind soul. But Auraka..some of the things said about him made him shiver. A mad fighter and would kill anyone his his path. He did everything he could to make his men better fighters, drilling them day after day. And that was some of the nice things. He sighed quietly, orbs flashing open at a sudden thought. Queen Gem had adopted him. So that made King Auraka....his adoptive father? He blinked, shocked at the thought.
Auraka shook his head sadly. "No, no news yet.." he said quietly with a small smile "but no doubt she'll turn up soon, when we least expect it...you and your sisters seem to have a talent with that." He chuckled, arm resting around her shoulders as they made there way down the stairs and down the road towards Ashlere's house. "Tell me about this Faeron, he seems to be a rather," he paused for a moment trying to find the right word "unlucky child, and yet seems to see the best in things."

She chuckled. "Ashlere knows him a lot better than I do. He hasn't said really all that much about his own past. All I know is that he's been in one of the homes, for the better part of the fifteen years he's been alive." She smiled. "He likely knows more about us than we do of him."
Ashlere smiled. "I guess a lots happened for you today, hasn't there. One minute you're out in the woods on your own, next minute my cousin adopts you." She grinned at him though. "You're not as alone any more are you both?"

Auraka chuckled lightly, shaking his head gently. "Thats not hard though...everyone seems to know everything about us..." he sighed quietly, knowing there were many rumors going around about the pair of them.
Faeron smiled shyly and nodded before murmuring softly. "Seems that way doesn't it.." He sighed, sitting down on the ground beside Ani and looked around the house he would now call home. He wondered what he would do here in his free time. Maybe he could get a job...or train to be a rider with Ani or...help out at the orphanage? Help them move and stuff. He sighed again, knowing a lot of free time would be on his hands now that others knew.

"I think they'll let you both decide what happens now. Gem's not one for pushing people to do things, neither's Auraka, most of the time." Ashlere chuckled. Sure she envied him for having Ani, but it was something she was going to get used to these days.
"Some of the things they don't know." She smiled. "I guess my sister's will just pop up out of the blue." That was something that could very well happen, as he'd said. "Though I have the feeling not without a warning of some sort for me."
