He grinned up at his drow, eagerly returning the kiss, not bothering to answer, as no answer was needed.<br/><br/>He was busy playing an engrossing game of four way mortality against his children, all the dragon hatchlings on one side, the other children on a second, Xyra on a third, and him on the fourth, and he had all of them at an easily disposable position, but had stalled it, letting them try and break out of it as he countered mostly Xyra. The slate, however, was important enough that he suspended the board, and after making the now common apology/excuse of work, he left, letting them go to a three way game with Xyra on the worst side. He showed up at the portal room, and waved off the usual bodyguards, figuring he already had guessed what was happening, instead routing an avatar to Union to peruse the usual markets for them, as well as other useful talents. While the body guards would be entering the plane immediately after him, they would be doing so at a distance, and merely observing, rather than accompanying him. He gathered his usual equipment for a foray, now gathered from the Caves' floors up to 700 by himself, though Inari and Ama had gotten close to 650 with just the two of them. He stepped through the portal, and looked around, before heading toward the indicated location on the plane, intent on rescuing his lost children.
