[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!

[whistles softly]

Daaaamn.

[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.

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

[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!

Whatever order you want, babe!

[following along happily]

[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!

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

There you are. In your egg.

[wraps his arms around randy and sighs]

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

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

[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.
