Sherri
**Ephemera growled angrily, but blushed intently as her belly growled louder.**

"I should go hunt..."
Carlos
*Giggles as she growled he shook his head at her and booped her nose looking at her cute face*

`"No wait on the couch let me introduce you to something called ✨ Flavored✨ food."`

*He giggles going into the kitchen setting out chicken and alot of beef spices and more she would begin to smell amazing food smells*
Sherri
**Ephemera gently stoked the heads of her siblings which were on her lap, taking another nap.**

"Another weird human thing?"
Carlos
`"It's not a wei d human thing! Are you use to just eating food raw with no flavor???"`

*He asked softly as he continued cooking it felt nice to relax.*
Sherri
"Yep, quick and easy. If you stay to long another creature might come and steal your food. Or kill you."

**She said bluntly as if it was a normal thing. It was for her, her own way of live.**
Carlos
`"Well we don't have to worry about that here, here we make food store it and go out only when we need more we can take our time eating slowly."`

*He smiles as his eyes focus on cooking.*
Sherri
**Ephemera nodded slowly, still confused. She sat patiently waiting for the food to be made. Her eyes wandering around the cabin, looking for anything interesting.**
Carlos
*Finished making the food and walked back to her and offered her a massive platter of rice with spices and an 3 entire turkeys seasoned to perfection he set the platter down Infront of her and the other two baby dragons*
Sherri
**Ephemera had drool dripping down the counter of her mouth. The baby dragons had also woken up from the sweet smell.**

"Is that the flavoring you were talking about..."

**She wiped the drool away and reached out, ripped the turkey's leg off and took a big bite. The baby dragons had pounced onto one of the turkeys.**
Carlos
*Giggles seeing her drool hitting the counter he gently picked up napkin and gently patted her lip*

`"Don't drool! And he's this is the flavoring it's better then ole raw food with hair and everything on it that seems nasty."`

*He chuckled softly watching the baby dragons attack one of the turkeys*
Sherri
**Ephemera cups on cheek,** "Hmm!! So good!" **Then continues to chow down. Her K9s enlarge to breaking the bones. The two baby dragons did the same but with much struggle as their teeth were not as sharp and big as their older sisters.**
Carlos
*Didn't know wether to be amazed of worried that her teeth could munch through bone so easily, she could break a man's bone if she just bit them in this form he took note to not make her angry.*

`"Enjoy!"|
Sherri
**After only a few seconds she had devoted the whole turkey and went to help her siblings by breaking the bones in half so they could eat the bone marrow and shred the turkey to smaller pieces. They chirp happily, sitting on the table and taking the small pieces.**

"Thank you for the food."

**Although it was enough to fill her belly, she didn't want to eat the seconds turkey so Silas could eat it.**
Carlos
`"You are very welcome don't worry about the mess you make I'll clean it up.."`

*He watches her eat happily with her siblings he looks around seeing the left over belongs of his dead friends he began to cry quietly as he began to think of them*
Sherri
***Ephemera did not notice him crying until she finished shredding the turkey. When she did she slowly walked over to him and wiping his tears the same way he had done for her.**

"Why are you crying...?"
Carlos
*Looked up at her as she gently wiped his tears he gently moved his hand slowly up and then held her hand sniffling softly*

`"All my friends I knew where killed... We all lived together they raised me as there own child."`
Sherri
**Ephemera gently wiped his tears as they fell. There was much else she knew how too do.**

"I'm so sorry... You must have been close."
Carlos
`"I was close with them thank you for being here."`

*He moved his head to her shoulder and wrapped her arms around his head and neck*

`"This is how you comfort someone..."`
Sherri
**Ephemera wanted to push him away, feeling very unguarded in this position. But resisted and hugged him back.**

"Oh, what's this called?"
Carlos
`"This is called a hug, if you nuzzle there neck it would move into a snuggle. Or cuddle if your laying down and hugging someone."`

*He sniffles softly moving his head back to look at her seeing that she had never received much or any affection at all*
Sherri
"Another weird human thing."

**Ephemera said bluntly, slipping away back to her siblings to watch them eat. But looked up at him from time to time to cheek if he was crying again.**

"They are almost done eating."
Carlos
`"When you are holding your siblings it can be attributed to hug. When your a dragon and you are laying with your family on you that is snuggling and cuddling. You looking back at me constantly to make sure I may not be crying shows me you care at least... Not everything is a human thing because I am not human."`
Sherri
**Ephemera seemed to understand as she remembered her siblings piled on top of her in their mothers nest. A memory she loved. When the baby dragons were done they trotted over to Ephemera, pawing at her legs. She picked them up and they fell asleep in her arms. Then she sat down in the couch.**

"The tiny one is Regula and the bigger one is Signy. The youngest of my siblings. Regula is a female and Signy is a boy."
Carlos
*Smiles softly seeing that began to think about it that is all he wanted to help her learn he took note that she also probably didn't know how to read or write*

`"They have beautiful names I never asked your name. Also do you know how to read or write? Do any basic math?"`
Sherri
"Ephemera Nuktia, I do know how to read! I found some book on adventures once and also bought some in a village once. I don't know how to do math so it hard for me to buy stuff."

**She said happily, obviously very fond of the subject.**
Carlos
`"Ok then I can teach you come here sit by me let me hold your siblings I promise I'll be gentle while it teach you look for a book that says basic numbers and bring it here it's on the shelf over there."`

*He points to a book shelf with a smile*
