Aura sighed. "Keep him away from any added sugars until he's a bit older. If we have to make baby food, I'll gladly help." She returned to Auryn and wiped some crushed pea from the side of his snout. He looked up at her, their eyes meeting.

It was Dememoras' old capital from thousands of years back" Kos explained.
