Day 1:<br/><br/>Raylin looked at her. Nodding his head lightly. "Yes. It does." Blushing a bit. "I don't understand why... Why would he be upset?"  He asked softly. Taking off his nightgown dress and walked into the bathroom in his underwear. He was blushing as he took off the underwear once in the hot springs. A towel resting nearby. For some reason it was like bathing with a sister. He didn't feel as much shyness with her. He felt even shyer with Azrial. He laughed as she splashed water at him. Splashing back. Sinking down and tilted his head back. Getting his hair wet. Lifting his head and began washing his hair. He looked at her as she spoke. "Ricardo...he hunts the animals. I think it is the only way his drakken feels truly at peace is out hunting animals. Then we have cows and chickens and lambs which we raise and when they are of age some die others don't. We grow lots of the food that isn't meats."<br/><br/>He stopped for a minute. Then spoke again. "Ricardo fishes and brings back lots of fish. Azrial has started helping with the meat and fish but its still mainly Ricardo's thing. I think its an agreement between them that Ricardo will stay out of Azrial's way with protecting me and Azrial will leave most of the food getting to him. It SEEMS to be working for them both." He said. Seems meaning they hadn't fought anymore. Which he was glad about. He blinked as she at the egg. "Laughing as the puff of smoke came from her mouth. "Thats funny. Azrial eats the eggs whole too." He giggled more. He pulled Jen back to the room after having a maid deliver food there. "Um...um..." He said. Turning beet red and waited til the maid left. "Does it hurt? The first time you um...do stuff?" He asked shyly. The words coming out hesitant. "Would you help me know what to do to show Azrial I'm ready when he is all better?" He asked the words very soft as he turned even redder.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ricardo finished training and walked back over to Caylen. Helping him up and held his hand. Going to the music room. Picking up his instrument and began to play. Playing a song he had written and was enjoying seeing Caylen play it as well. The music was beautiful. He smiled and then got up. Hugging Caylen. Pulling back. "Be back soon." He said with a smile. He left and went hunting. Not for the castle today. Nope. Today he was getting something for Caylen only. He was back and had the food in the cooler. Tired as the bird had given quite the chase. He lay asleep on a bench. His long form draped over it. Thankfull it was a long bench. He dozed off. He smiled as he felt the kiss to his forehead. He let himself be pulled along to the bedroom. Easily letting himself be moved to the bed. He took Caylen's mouth and put it on his arm again. Not wanting him nomming on his wrist. Guy was gonna make himself bleed. He stroked his hair lightly with the arm not being nommed on.<br/><br/>Day two:<br/><br/>Raylin wasn't sure he made sense which is why he rubbed. Plus the rubbing ease the heat a little. He had tried not to watch as he didn't feel it polite. He looked elsewhere and winced. It hurt. He looked at Brace when he stood. "Okay." He said. Blushing bright red and took the skirt and shirt off shyly. He whimpered as it hurt really badly right now. He watched as Brace knelt down. Wiggling a bit trying to make the pain less. Stopping when he felt Brace touch his womb. He let out a sigh of relief as the rubbing started easing the pain. He listened to him speaking. Looking at where he gestured to. "But I don't have a scale. I don't have scales at all." He looked sad. How could he have more kids if he didn't have scales? "That sounds so cool though." He said softly. He took the trash can but felt only mildly nauseous. He held it close in case that changed. He let out a sigh of relief again as the burning went away slowly.<br/><br/>[i]Ricardo was sharpening his sword down the hall. He looked up when he smelled Jen. "We do?" He said. Not feeling highly social. Hence why he was in the armory away from Caylen. Standing up and walked over to her. Dropping the sword onto the floor of the armory to show no ill will. He listened to her. "I don't may...I do." he said seriously. "A very fiesty Sova apparently." He said in an amused tone. Though as she continue his amusement faded. His eyes darkened a bit. "On  to me? I don't like the accusation that I'm playing a game here." He said. He merely nodded his head. "As fun and entertaining as an army of dragons to fight would be to my Drakken I have no need to go out of my way to pick fights that don't need picking." His eyes narrowed. "Besides...if I was going to hurt a Sova wouldn't it have been easier to start with Raylin over some guy I just met? I'm not a bad guy even if I seem like it." He said. Leaning against a wall. "I don't hurt Sova's...I protect them."<br/><br/>Listening as she continued. He led her to the knights room that he didn't use. Too fancy but it was given to him by the King himself. "Cil...I'll remember that name." he said. He listened to her and his eyes narrowed. The Drakken's rage deepening as she continued. His entire eye area turned pit black. No whites. No pupils. Just pure black color. He growled as he listened to what she was saying. "Then...they'll be dealt with." he said. Standing up straight. His eyes going mostly back to normal. "I have a name...thats all I need. They'll all be dealt with. They'll feel his pain ten times over." He said. His hand resting against the wall dug in. The wall gave a cracking sound. Slintering and crushing inwards. His Drakken and Dragon both mad. Very, very deadly mad. He listened to her. "He won't ever have to worry about that again."<br/><br/>He looked at her. "I'll be gone the day after tomorrow. Just for a day at most." He said. His eyes closing. "I am not one to hurt a Sova. I don't pick on people even if they are as strong as me. I only fight when its to protect or it is necessary. Its why I don't have many scars. Before Azrial no other dragons stayed long term. Never had to do more than kick some butt here and there." He opened his eyes and looked at her. "I dealt with Ray's wannabe rapist. I'll deal with those four as well. He walked over and gave her an ackward hug. "Its okay." He let her go and moved to the wall behind her. "I would never hurt my Sova. I would never hurt one who didn't instantly judge and hate me because of my mixed blood. A Drakken is black or crimson never any other color. My dragon scales are blue. Together they make a blueish black hue to my scales." He shook his head. "I am a beast that is just as hated as a pure dragon with black scales yet Caylen sees me for me. I would never do anything to lose that. It means far too much for me to jeopardize my own happiness."<br/><br/>He paused for a moment. "Besides...Raylin might be a sova...but he got fire. I ever do anything to hurt Caylen he'll never let me hear the end of it. My best friend is like my sister, brother, whatever you wanna view him as. He is the main reason I learned to control my temper. My Drakkens temper. So I would never hurt a Sova of any race. He gave me strength to live for something. I plan to be Caylen's reason to keep on living." He said with a soft smile. "I feel something for him I've never felt for another. It is much stronger than the person I thought I felt something for. She abandoned me because I was mixed blood. Because she feared and hated me. That is something I would never inflict on another...the pain of abandonment."</span><br/><br/>Day Three:<br/><br/>Raylin looked at her as she walked beside him. He was pointing out things to her. Blinking at her startled snarl. Smiling as he saw her smiling. The was tears in her eyes but he hoped they were happy tears. "Even the kids in this kingdom...love dragons. Sometimes the kids dream of being legendary dragon riders. As friend, love, and rider to a dragon. It is a dream many dream about as children. Some still dream about it as adults. People in this kingdom love dragons. Anyone living here does not understand other kingdoms like the one to the west of here. From the direction Azrial came from. Even my father disagrees with his old friend in the west. Our beliefs hold dragons in high esteem. We frown upon violence towards them unless it is self defense. Which has never been necessary because this is a place dragons don't have to fight for their lives. Where they know they are safe." He explained. He listened to her. "Alright." He said with a smile. Taking her to the inn called Wolf Fang Inn.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">The little boy sitting on the swing on the front porch. His eyes widened as the dragon lady came up. He saw her put something on the porch and ran over to it. Picking it up and his eyes went wide. He looked at Jen. "Thankies dragon lady." The young child said. Running up to her and hugged her leg. Then ran inside holding up his obviously new treasure. His voice coming inside. "mommy! Mommy look! The dragon lady gave me a new treasure!"</span>Raylin looked at her. "The kids give their treasures to the shrine. They hope that dragons will take something from their shrine if they are going to have kids. It is a big deal to kids to feel they can do something to help dragons. Being they are small and too young to fight to protect one they do what they can. It makes them feel special. The shrine tells the kids when someone takes one of their donations. You should see how it makes them light up. Its like you told them that they won loads of treasure. Its that special to them."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ricardo lay with Caylen. Watching him sleep. He would tell him when he woke he would be gone most to all of tomorrow. He nuzzled the male as he felt the nomming on his arm. Wondering what the dream was about. Kissing the top of his mates head. He relaxed and didn't move. It was only a matter of time. He would avenge his mate. The four that did him wrong. He'd take down one at a time. Two if he had to. His eyes flashed black for a moment before returning to normal.</span><br/><br/>Final Day:<br/><br/>Raylin blinked and held onto Azrial. Smiling as he was happy. Tears of happiness in his eyes. He blushed and let out a happy sound. "I'm happy you're back. I missed you so much." He said softly. He kissed Azrial shyly on the lips. He loved him so much. "I love you." He said softly. Looking at Jen as she sat up. He nuzzled Azrial and touched the horns carefully. He was fascinated by them. They were different. He missed the red hair but the voice told him this was his love. That he was the same. Blushing and kissed back as he felt the passion and love in that kiss. Kissing back and wrapped his arms around the man's neck. "I missed you more than words can tell you." He said softly. He rubbed his womb after Azrial nuzzled and kissed it. It growing warm in response to Azrial's touch. Almost like it was going daddy! happily. Holding onto him. "Okay but after food I need to go meet Jen in the garden. No following. We're gonna have girl talk." He said with a giggle. Really happy now. Nuzzling him lovingly.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ricardo held Caylen to him as he snuggled into him. He stroked his hair and felt the male clut onto him. Feeling the chewing and just watched him. It didn't hurt but it did at times give him a bit of an...issue...below the belt. He stroked his mate's hair. "I don't want you to go at the end of the week. I want you to stay here with me. I know its selfish but I don't want you to leave." He then grew serious. "Also...after lunch I'm leaving. I'll be gone until tomorrow afternoon. I have four monsters who need dealing with. I'm going to make sure you never get hurt again." he said in a serious tone. Kissing Caylen's cheek lightly then gives a light quick kiss to Caylen's lips. "I'll protect you from everyone even myself if it comes to it." He said pulling Caylen close. "Don't go...don't go at the end of the week. It'll crush me if you do. I would follow you to the ends of the Earth." He nuzzled Caylen's forehead with his. "Please stay Caylen. I'm sad thinking about that at the end of this week you'll possibly leave to go home with Jen." He spoke softly but urgently. A single tear trailed down his cheek. Kissing the top of Caylen's head. He wanted Caylen to stay.<br/><br/>"Think about it while I'm gone." He gave another light kiss on the lips. He sought out Jen. Cornering her without touching her. "I need their scents. I need them. I'm leaving and it'll make tracking down for their punishment easier. Without it I'll be gone longer. It'll take a day." He looked quite deadly right then. "I'm going to make them pay. One by one. Then I'm going to make sure Cil gets it the worst...he'll be last. The Drakken demands blood and Caylen deserves to be avenged. I'm going and hope that you'll help make it easier to find them...all four of them." His eyes softened. "Please...help me get them."</span>
