Keeping it, huh...

[peering into the pouch]

[eggstinction]

[it's one of the large moonstone beads from the necklace of office that Moon sometimes wears. those are polished smooth, but he's used his claws to carve this one to look like a curled up dragon. there's eight tiny gemstone chips for its eyes and it's strung on a silk cord stolen out of one of Moon's robes.]

There was a holiday party and some of the ones celebrated had the tradition of giving gifts.

[crimeson]

[DEVASTATED (AFFECTIONATE)]

Oh my Goddess, this is so good... You're adorable, you know that?

[immediately putting it on.]

I'll have to get you back, soon.

[eggstinction]

[waves his tail happily HEHEHE]

You do not have to! But I am glad you like it.

[crimeson]

I'm gonna.

[pocketing the pouch itself and taking his hand again.]

Shall we?

[eggstinction]

[squeezes his hand]

Let's!

[crimeson]

[assuming some kinda portal situation, let's goooo]

[eggstinction]

[WHOOSH]

[the door home opens to the same moment Moon left a hundred days ago: Late at night in a well-appointed office. A large three-sided desk covered in documents is by the wall. There's a lit lamp and fresh ink on the paper— someone was in the middle of work.

Besides shelves and other furniture, one of the walls has been dedicated entirely to windows. They open to a terrace overlooking the ocean.]

Welcome home!

[crimeson]

[whistles softly]

Daaaamn.

[eggstinction]

[all the furniture is beautifully crafted, but a longer look will find that as nice as everything is, it's all mis-matched. it's years of different antiques from different decades of styles, but if his bookshelf from 30 years ago and his desk from 120 years ago are both still good, why replace them?

Moon trills, laughing. The white stone walls are thick and there's no bedrooms near the Lord's office, they're not going to wake anyone up.]

Wait wait, I have not even shown you anything yet.

[crimeson]

It's still fancy! C'mon, set your stuff down and get showing me.

[eggstinction]

[sets his plant down and fetches it a fish jerky treat from a snack drawer in his desk, then hurries back to Randy to tow him towards the balcony]

You can see the fancy later. This first!

[crimeson]

Whatever order you want, babe!

[following along happily]

[eggstinction]

[it's a great view, the ocean is mirror calm tonight (actually every night and every day when moon is around) and the palace behind them glows like a pearl in the moonlight, but!

more importantly!

POINTS AT THE MOON]

There I am!

[crimeson]

[...leans on him, looking up at the celestial body version of his dragon.]

There you are. In your egg.

[eggstinction]

[wraps his arms around randy and sighs]

Reverie was the furthest I have ever been away from myself.

[crimeson]

Does it feel better? I dunno how I'd like being so far from me, personally.

[eggstinction]

[rumbles deeply and closes his eyes as if basking]

It feels much better. I can feel my body. I can feel my brother's gravity and my father's warmth. I could still feel them before, but it was so much muted.

[crimeson]

I'm glad.

[turning to snuggle in better.]

...Welcome home, Moon.

[eggstinction]

[curls around him and nuzzles the top of his head]

I'm home.

[crimeson]

My sweet, fancy baby dragon.

[eggstinction]

[—laughs, laughs and peeps! peep peep baby peeps]

[crimeson]

[mimicks a peep and twists to kiss his chin]

[eggstinction]

[ducks down to give him a peck. cheep!]

Now who's cute!

[crimeson]

Very much you, darlin'.
