Path happily accepted Skylark as he came close to them, letting the little boy join in their play. Sleipnir seemed excited as well to have another playmate, tossing up the sandy pebbles playfully. Since they were relatively small, they tickled rather than hurt as they fell back down to earth on his skin. He showered them both before going back to helping Father with the castle. Having to pull of his shirt first and shake away all the sand that had gotten stuck in the folds of his clothing. 

 It wasn't really much of a castle, more of a pile of carefully placed stones actually, but Sleipnir didn't care. To him, it was a wonderful creation, and the structure was unique. With his carefully trained eyes, Sleipnir picked out the shiniest of the stones to be the castle's windows mirroring the reflecting light of glass, the dull grey stones as the castle door and the bigger rocks that weren't as smooth were used to built a wall. Father seemed to understand and saw what he saw too or perhaps the elder dragon just imitated his son, stacking up as he did. Turning his head to pay some attention to Skylark.

 "Naughty, we'll have to start a treasure hunt for your socks later." He teased, tickling his bare feet. He petted Skylark, running his fingers through his white hair as he lay on his lap. "Yes...it's very nice." He said happily because now wasn't a time to be sad. He kept on petting Skylark even as he slept, turning back to help Sleipnir until Daddy came around to play as well. Moving aside his hand briefly for Edge to pet Skylark. Smiling up at him while Sleipnir giggled his answer. The little dragon watched Daddy curiously as he grasped the rock in hand and brought it to his lips. When Edge was done, he made an eager grab for the rocks, shifting through a handful before he found a suitable smooth white spotted grey rock, that reminded him of Daddy and Father. He cupped it in both hands and brought his closed fist to his mouth, declaring loudly , "I promise I'll love Daddy! And Father forever! And-" He cast a glance over at his sleeping brother, "-I'll always take care of Sky!" With that he deposited the stone on the pile right next to Daddy's and turned to his head up to face Father.

 Path smiled down at Sleipnir, then slowly picked up a small smooth white pebble, holding it tightly in his hands, he brought it to his lips and paused, looking up at Edge and Sleipnir then at his sleeping son, "I promise." He began slowly, "I'll always love all of you no matter what and I'll always be thinking of you wherever I am." With that, he dropped the stone on the pile.
