"That would be something wouldn't it. Then she'd still have one remaining necklace for an enforcer. I wouldn't hold my breath for me and Larai, but you already have a confirmed spot at her side should you pass the exam this afternoon," she said, walking with Ricken to the barracks, "I can only guess where she'll be going, but I do hope she comes back afterwards."

"Would you mind holding Hanna for a few minutes while I chil the food storage? It may have ice lining the walls, but that just keeps the temperature from falling back to room temp as quickly.. We still need to chill it once a day," the black dragon asked, holding Hanna out towards Goldenscale.

"Besides that we shall dismiss and have a good time OK?" Frost gets ready to go see mayumi.

"We'll work on this prodject during our time away from the booths then. Might as well not waist any time on something as large as this," the council member said, placing his foulders into a carry bag, "Best of luck to you and Mayumi with your new family."

"Thank you n wish you all good blessings."

Nodding, the council members left one by one.

Hanna let out a delighted chirp when she looked up to see Goldenscale. Releasing the peach from her forelegs, she held her arms up trying to hug Goldenscale's  snout.

"You know, my offer is still open. I've refused to accept any suitors  since you disappeared," Clair said, kissing Ricken on the cheek, " I've been waiting for your answer all this time."

"I remember.  All you have to do is read me to find your answer." he said.

Goldenscale caught the peach with her tail and set it down on a counter.  She then brought her muzzle down and gently tried to tickle Hanna's stomach.

"I would rather hear it from you," Clair said.

Hanna giggled as she hugged Goldenscale, her arms and face were sticky from the peach juice.

"She's a jewl isn't she," Dara said, stepping around Goldenscale, "She's a lucky one if anything. The 'runt' of the clutch, and she is the only one we have left. She will always be a jewl to us."

Frost heads to see mayumi. "Mayumi are you here?"

"Yes, she is.  She is a sweet child.  But I think that being a runt is lucky because I am, yet here I am..." she said.  

"Well, my answer is yes." he said.

"Being the runt only mean you were the smallest of your clutch. Nothing more, nothing less," Dara said, cuting a small piece of peach and giving it to Hanna when she let go of Goldenscale, "I can't tell what, but there is something about you that tells me you're destined for greatness. Something about your soul speaks to me."

"Then it's settled, and at such a wonderful time of year," Clair said, lightly squeezing Rickens tail with her own, "This estival is turning out to be more than I could have imagined."

"My father was a priest, both by choice and nature. He was well in tune with the spirits of those around him. I inherited that from him, and it has help avoid danger in the past," Dara said, watching as Hanna let out another yawn and drifting off to sleep, "You have spiritual connections in both high and low placed as well as near and far. A soul as pure and untainted as yours could only come from a being who seeked redemption from their sin in a new life."

"I'm not even going to attempt to understand her. She has a sense about her that she doesn't play with a full deck, but rather she used multiple decks," Clair said, opening the door to Larai's and her room, "It took some work, but we managed to keep them from assigning your bed to someone else. It should be left like it was when you last left the barracks."

Frost comes into the nesting area and looks around.
