[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'.

[eggstinction]

No!

[sticks his nose in randy's hair —to bite one of his wolf ears, but. he's not used to them being gone yet!]

[crimeson]

Yep! I can't even wag anymore, and I get t'see your egg. The cuteness is even more you than before.

[eggstinction]

I will not say if that logic is right or wrong, but that is logic there! I will miss your tail. I liked to hear it thump.

[crimeson]

Can't say I ain't gonna miss it in some ways. But I'm back to being a normal guy.

[eggstinction]

[alas ears alas tail alas knot]

Back to being human, but everything I love is still here.

[crimeson]

[THEY WERE ALL VERY FUN WHILE THEY LASTED.

Kinda melts, blushing.]

Geez...

[eggstinction]

And look, there is something cute here still.

[whistles sweetly and nuzzles his cheek before kissing him softly.]

[crimeson]

[seems like the vaguely canine whiny noises were just from Randy being Randy, judging by the incoherent grumble right before he returns that kiss.]

[eggstinction]

[cradles his face so, so tenderly]

Let me show you our nest.

[crimeson]

[OUR nest,,,]

...Please.

[eggstinction]

[OURS! yours!!]

It is not far.

[Moon kisses him again as if to apologize for not lingering the entire night on the balcony. but it’s only a little further along the terrace before they come to another row of wide-open windows. why use a hallway and doors? all of moon’s private quarters share this balcony.]

[crimeson]

[cute. peeking in.]

[eggstinction]

[there's no lights lit inside, but the big windows fill it with moonlight. most of the room is taken up by a round depression in the middle of the floor— a dragon-sized nest. it's ringed by a low, ornately-carved wooden screen and lined with fresh rush mats.

there's also a second, more human-sized nest. this one, like a giant wooden bowl, is carved in the same style as the other's screen, but it's scuffed and worn, and there's eight-legged scratchmarks scrabbling up the sides in more than one spot. it's filled with patchwork silk cushions, there's a forgotten robe buried among the quilts, and there's an empty mug hooked on one of the carvings.

besides the nests, there's a desk covered in knick-knacks and a dining table covered in paperwork. windchimes and light-catchers hang from the ceiling overhead. a few doors lead off to other spaces.

Moon is skipping the balcony door and climbing in through one of the windows.]

Come in, come in.
