Distract thm? Was there something else here, waiting for the right moment to attack them? Nyx looked about, wary, and for the moment, left the construct to Larek, and tran, who went to help Larek.

-----

Jammy nodded, rising smoothly, she went to a cupboard, and took out some incense and lotion and oils. She also retrieved her massage table and pillow, before returning to Orna "Anything else?"

-----

Railing stepped back, breaking the block. "Perhaps we are" He agreed, "If you wis to call it a draw, we can"

Larek looked around, seeing if anything else would attack. After a few minutes, it seemed as if they were in the clear.

"Vespion, that was risky. I know that this seems odd, that it is usually the young, 'hot-blooded' one which disregards the risk, but this was just dangerous."

"Nonsense. I had everything under control" Vespion replied.

"We've got all we are going to get here. Let's just leave. Nyx? Want to go?"

---------------------

"Unless you can think of something else, that looks pretty good" Orna answered.

---------------------

"Right, let's call it a draw" Kos replied, backing off. He extended his clawed hand to Railing. "That was a very good fight, Railing. Thank you for that."

"Nonsense? Nonsense? You might think you had everything under control, Vespion, but what if you hadn't? It was a risk, a great risk, one I am not willing to take, with an egg because of your cockiness" Nyx said, the anger evident in her voice. "Next time you think of doing something like that, you can keep me out of it. You could have gotten us killed today, if one thing had went wrong. Pride goeth before a fall, Vespion. You might think you had everything under control. I don't want to be there when you think you have it undercontrol, but don't"

She moved to Larek, and nodded. "yes. Let's go home" She said, her voice shaking. She turned to Tran, and gave her brother a hug. "Be safe. Dn't work yourself into the ground. And say hello to Orna for us" She hugged him tight before letting him go

----

Jammy nodded, and set it all up in preparation. "He will never admit it, but he fears failing you, Orna. Fear'ss he can't live up to being a husband. So if sometimes he seems stressed, or a little too dedicated to his work, that is why" Jammy told Orna after a few moments silence. "He's' always wanted a family, but is scared of crewing it up"

----

Railing nodded, taking Kos's hand, "It was" He agreed, "No thanks are needed. A good spar is always welcome"

Vespion rolled his eyes. "No trust for the older generations from the young. I should have expected as much. Even so, I thank you all for showing up."

"If we adventure with Vespion again, my father is in charge. Even Kos would be better." Larek gave Nyx a hug. "Tran, I'm not sure how this affected you, but thank you for being here. Now, Nyx and I have to get home, check on the egg, and tend to the farm. In spite of all the risk, it was a nice change of pace. Mostly."

Tala moved in close to Larek. "I'll come with you. I need to get some rest. That gate stone should be able to get all three of us back home."

---------------

"He isn't messing anything up, and if he stumbles from time to time, that is fine. No one is perfect, so Tran shouldn't feel like he has to be" Orna replied, stretching out.

---------------

"Indeed. So, shall we get some food? I think Sasha and Prudence are wondering what is taking us so long" Kos replied.

"You have to earn trust and respect! And while you have my respect for helping railing, you no longer have my trust!" NYx said in response to Vespion, returning larek's hug and smiling to Tala, "you are more then welcome to stay with us, Tala"

-----------

"He always has. He likes to joke around and such, but he worries-he always did even if it was something like worrying about not any short of fighting, or that he would disappoint his friends or such" jammy said, "really, he just wants everyone TK be happy"

---------

"Prudence will most likely be chatting up a storm, and Sahsa had a lot of patience" Tailing pointed out but nodded leading the way back inside

"Huh. Funny thing is, I still trust Vespion. No harm came to us, and if something had actually gone wrong, I think he would have been able to solve the problem. That said, those were still unnecessary risks" Larek told Nyx. Tala took Larek's hand, and Larek took Nyx's hand. With the stone in his other hand, Larek activated the gate stone, teleporting them to his farm.

----------------------

"Well, that is a good impulse for him to have, but the pressure of having to make others happy must be quite tough to carry, even if he doesn't show it." Orna replied.

----------------------

Kos found the females sitting around. "Hi girls. Having fun?"

Nyx was glad to be home, a feeling that shocked her, just slightly. So much has changed, in such a short time, really. She went to head inside, but stopped just outside the door, checking her claws and body to make sure there was any excess dirt, before going in, wanting to check on the egg

----

"Tran likes making people happy, and that's enough reward for him" jammy said, sitting back down as they waited for Tran TK return

----

Sasha looked up and smiled, giving a nod "we are. Did you two have fun sparring?"

Larek cleaned himself off quickly and followed Nyx. Tala followed right behind them. He checked on the egg, and was satisfied that it was fine. "Looks good" he said, stretching out. He put his sword down and sat down on a soft cushion. Tala did the same, curling up, eager to be off her feet for the first time in a long while.

Meanwhile, Vespion returned to the temple along with Tran. The cleric delivered the papers to the other priests, who were quite satisfied with the finds. About an hour later, he returned to Tran.

"Thank you for your assistance. If you would like a small amount of compensation in cash, the temple is prepared to offer you some."

---------------

"I hope he will be back soon" Orna replied.

---------------

"Yes. At least I did. Railing is really quite good. Never thought we'd be so closely matched" Kos said, sitting down next to Sasha. He gave her a kiss on the side of her snout.

Nyx wanted to rest too, but recognised that they all needed something to eat, figuring that Tala needed it the most to help regain energy, so after checking on the egg with Larek, she went to get them all some food, aiming for something that could be made quickly and easily.

"I don't need any compensation" Tran said, "I'm glad I could help. I'll head off now" he said, heading out the building and starting towards his parent's home, wanting to be back with Orna.

----

"I'm sure he will be" Jammy said, as she looked to make sure they had everything, "What was he going to do?"

----

Sasha smiled, letting herself lean against Kos, "Well, Glad it was a good spar then" She said, as Railing sat down by Prudence, nodding "It's been a while since I've had a spar like that" Railing agreed

Vespion went back to his clerical duties. He had some paperwork to fill out regarding the recent excursion. It was at times like this that he remembered the origin of the word "clerical", how the clergy had to do most of the writing in days long ago...

-----------------

Larek got up and helped Nyx. "Maybe some meat and vegetables?"

-----------------

"What would he do? I am not sure" Orna said.

-----------------

"I trust you girls weren't too bored while Railing and I were fighting each other to a draw" Kos told Sasha, smiling as he looked at her. He put his right arm around Sasha, giving her a little hug. He put his feet up on a footrest, alongside the females. Kos noted how large his claws were next to those of Prudence and Sasha, and couldn't help feeling that he was a protector to his wife as well as a lover. While it was true that female dracons weren't exactly helpless, he was sure Sasha appreciated having a strong male to help keep her safe.

Nyx nodded, "Sounds good" She said, and moved to put some meat on to cook, and while that was happening, she cut some vegetables

---

Tran moved through the streets easily, and quickly, and knocked on the door before opening it, glad to have that done. He smiled "I'm back"

----

"We weren't bored. We were talking. We haven't had much chance to talk" Sasha said, giving Prudance a smile, "Prudance is really great"

Prudance gave a small laugh, "You're too sweet, Sasha. If you guys wish, you can stay for dinner. A fight and feed is always a good combination, after all"

Larek helped Nyx out, but he took a moment to get Tala a cup of water. She accepted it happily.

"Thanks, Larek. I can feel my powers slowly returning. Another day or so and I shall be back to normal" Tala told him.

--------------

Orna leaped up and gave Tran a big hug and a kiss. "Heh. Took you long enough. What'd you do? Fight a dragon?"

--------------

"Yeah. I could use some meat" Kos said. He licked his snout. "Need me to help with anything?"

When the food was ready, NYx dished it out onto plates, setting them on the table, glad she had made the effort to cook, as it smelled good. She checked the egg once more, making sure it was safely nestled, before returning to the table

----

"I think it would have taking long to fight the dragon" tran said with a laugh, returning her hug, glad to be home, "just explored some ruins. Not much happened"

-----

"It's okay, cooking is easy and I don't mind it" Prudence said, rising, "Railimg can keep you entertained!"

Larek and Tala sat at the table, thanking Nyx for the food.

"Amazing as always, love" Larek told her, giving her a pat on the back before taking his seat.

"Indeed. It smells great" Tala told him.

----------------------

Orna smiled. "Well, you might as well get clean, change into something fit for home. What would your mother think? Oh wait, she's right here! Let's ask her." Orna said, teasing Tran a bit.

----------------------

"I think I can keep him entertained, thank you!" Kos explained, chuckling.

NYx smiled, "thanks. I try my best" she said brightly, "and after today, I think we all need it" she said, hoping that Tran had gotten home safetly, but foguring if anything bad had happened, they would know.

"If you need anything Tala, you just have to ask" she said "is there anything besides rest that can help with using too much magic?" She asked curiously

----

Tran chuckled, and gave his mother a hug, "I'll go clean up" he said, going to do that, and returning clean and dressed

----

"Well, keep each other entertained then!" Orudence said with amusement. Sasha rose, to join her sister in law

"Is there anything you would like to do?" Railimg asked

"I'm sure Tran is fine. And Vespion, too." Larek said.

"Some fruit might help, but nothing will totally replace rest" Tala explained.

-------------------

Orna gave him a hug, feeling his back muscles. "Hmm. You seem a bit tense, if you don't mind me saying so."

-------------------

"Maybe a board game?" Kos suggested. "Whatever it is you and Prudence do for fun around here should be fine with me."

NYx nodded, she had faith in her brother, but he hadn't trained as an adventurer. Still, she was sure he was okay. "After dinner, you can rest then" she said to Tala

----

"It was a rough job" tran said simply, "im okay..." He trailed off, looking about the room, at the massage gear set out. He sighed, resigned. "Joining forces to make sure I relax?"

------

"A board game sounds good. Anything specific?" Railimg asked

"Thank you, Nyx. If there's anything I can do for you in return, just ask." Tala replied.

Larek nodded and kept eating.

--------------------

"Right on, my love" Orna replied, smiling as she stretched out her fingers. "Your mother and I just want to check up on one of the males we love the most." She rubbed his right arm. "Is there anything you'd like us to do to start?"

--------------------

"Well, maybe chess?" Kos asked. (I assume that dracons know what chess is. lol)

"You've done plenty for us, Tala" Nyx said, "no need to do anymore!" She smiled, and started to eat, weary herself. It had been a while since she had done anything close to a full day of adventuring.

-----

Tram shook his head, accepting his fate in this. "Alright then" he said, deciding there was no point figjting it "do what you will"

------

"Alright" Railing said, rising, he went and collected a chess set, which was a little battered from use, but in quite good condition

"Yes. Please just relax." Larek encouraged his aunt to take Nyx's advice.

"Alright, I can take a hint." Tala smiled and stretched out, looking far more relaxed already.

-------------------

"First, we need you to lie down on the table on your stomach. That's the easy part, Tran. The hard part is letting your mother and I work on you. You should relax first and try not to think about your job or duties for just a few hours" Orna told her husband.

-------------------

Kos set up the chess set. "What color do you want? You choose."
