Emily nearly snapped the portal shut on Frank's arms when she heard the news and spun around to stare at Salterria.<span style="color: #0080ff"> "Speaking? She hatched only a week ago." </span>She grabbed Frank by the hand and nearly shoved Salterria out of the way as she ran to the nursery.<span style="color: #0080ff"> "She's talking already? How?" </span>The whelp looked up at her mother and pointed.<span style="color: #9999ff">"Emmy! Boot!"</span>She pointed at Frank next and Vyre stood up to hand the whelp over.<span style="color: #9999ff"> "Yes."</span>She cuddled against her mother, who stared at her in disbelief, and cooed happily.<span style="color: #5900b3">"So if Frank is Boot who is Poppa? And why is Frank 'Boot'?"</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #b3b300">"I'm trying to teach him how to cook my way but it's slow going. I figured you both would be happier the less of me you see so I'm trying to help him replace me." </span>He looked away from Ibara and down at his hands.<span style="color: #b3b300">"I... if you two ever want a break from this room, my winery is complete and I've created an entire house on the far corner of the property. It overlooks the coastline and I think you would approve the decorating. It- it's yours if you want it. It's far enough away from the main house that you would never know the winery was there. It might be more comfortable than being cooped up in here all day."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
