Draiss was roughhousing with Halion, who was wanting to spend as much time with him lately as possible, and while she was only about fourteen years old at that point, she was filling out nicely, and would be quite the heartbreaker for many a male dragon when she was an adult. He looked up from the game, and was promptly knocked over by his twilight dragon, who chirped happily to herself, before getting off of him, looking extremely pleased with herself. "If your mother agrees, yes, you two can head out on your own with only a drone to keep an eye on you. A packdrone with a communication package, so it will be useful for more than just keeping an eye on you. If she says no, then I will have a talk with her, but it will be a shadow stalker at a distance, for her peace of mind."<br/><br/>He gave both his daughters a hug, looking extremely proud of them both, and went to find their mother. It took a bit of work, but she did eventually agree to let them head out with a 'construct,' not bothering to get clarification on what that exactly meant. He sent the girls out on their way, asking that they at least occasionally call to let them know how they were doing, and if they deliberately ditched the drone, that he and their mother would personally come and find them. That done, he got them outfitted, and sent them off, feeling a bit saddened, but knowing that his sorceress and bard daughters would be fine. And if not, he would come down on the culprits like a beyonder. They knew hobgoblins were not the most trusted and liked race out their, and both had a good head on their shoulders, so they should be fine, or so he kept telling himself. That done, he returned to his usual duties, trying to prepare for both another manifestation and whatever Verdelet was planning to do.
