She winks at him. "I've been your nurse, too, you know." she replies cryptically, fading from view with Nimbus in her arms.
"I'll take this little one downstairs, if you don't mind. He just needs a bit of distraction and you two seem a bit tired and in need of rest. I'll bring him back when he falls asleep or needs tending to. Why don't you move Luna to her own bed and make use of yours before you both drop." she says with a wide smile before disappearing completely from view.

Kero shakes his head at her first words, turning to Tes and hugging her close when Enia is finally gone. With a hefty sigh of relief he moves over, gently picking Luna up and cuddling her as he transfers her to her own bed, promising to be there when she woke up, and setting a spell that would alarm him that she was about to do so.
With that done, the Voidmage returned to his Tessie, hugging her close as they lay down on the bed together, and kissing her as they closed their eyes.
"I dunno whaz she talkin bout....never been my nurssssssssse....." mutters Kero as he slips into the dreamlike trance that serves him for sleep."

Tes smiles to herself wisely. She had had a long talk with Enia since their arrival, hoping to learn a bit of her wisdom in dealing with Nimbus, and had learned of Kero's escapades during his moon phases in the realm. Kero might not remember all he had done while living at the palace under Lyssan and Amestru's watchful eyes, but Enia had indeed watched over him many time. Both she and the brownies that tended to him on a regular basis all loved the voidmage dearly, so even though she knew he could be a truly troublesome character when he was regressed, he had also been true to form. Kerobian was a gentle soul at heart. He simply did not want the world to know this.

As if to prove her point, the Voidmage rolled over in his trance and stole the blankets, prompting a general grab fest that wakes him up as the blankets are torn from his body, leaving him exposed to the frigid air.
"Sooooo, stealing blankets from me, are you? Well, two can play at that game, Schweetheart!"
With that, the Voidmage grabbed a pillow and began his assault, pummeling the laughing Draconic into the ground until she returned fire, whacking him in the belly with one of his cylindrical pillows. Soon, the room has degenerated into an all out pillow war, and it only stops when the door opens to reveal.....

Bash and Crash who stare at the feather filled air in dismay.
"No... no... no... not the right size pillow." shouts Bash testily.
"But bigger ones make bigger mess..." moans Crash.
"But better for bashing..." says Bash firmly stomping over to a cupboard. Opening it, he pulls out two pillows, each far larger than anything Kero has ever seen in the keep so far.
Crash nods sadly. "Yeah, bigger pillows do make bigger bashing better... I go get brooms." and he leaves with dragging feet. It is obvious he'd like to bash a certain brownie good right about now.

Kero and Tes look at each other, and simply fall to the ground in each others arms, laughing their heads off as they relate the tale to the two brownies, telling Bash to put the big pillows onto their bed so they have a place to sleep. Soon enough, the room is put to rights, with pillows on bed, blankets on pillows, and Voidmage and Draconic loving on each other as they sleep. Kero is in his trancelike state when he hears noise in the room, sitting up fast, startling Tes awake, he flares his eyes open and staring, to alarm any intruder. A combat reflex from the Void, his gaze reveals...

A slendar slightly built creature is leaning over the cradle by the bed. In the dim light, he cannot make out who it is, but the scent is familiar. No warning bells are going off, so he wonders why they are there.

Groaning, Kero dims his eyes a little and stares at the figure, one hand going for the knife on his nightstand.
"Who are you, why are you here, and what do you think you are doing leaning over my baby's cradle?"

Without looking up the figure sighs and whispers back. "Hush, do you want to undo all my handiwork. I finally got him back to sleep. Now you should do the same... go to sleep that is."
Enia straightens up and steps back from the cradle, her feet making nary a sound. She smiles a twisted grin at him and nods to the sleeping baby. "I was beginning to suspect Luna might have been right. He was simply trying to sing. Have you been singing to him much? Babies communicate through crying. Perhaps he was merely attempting to mimic you." she murmurs in a soft, barely heard voice.
"Whatever the case, he's asleep now and I need to do the same. Good night, Kerobian, fair dreams to thee." she adds fading from view, leaving him alone with his child and mate in a darkened quiet room.

And so Kero simply takes her advice, slipping back into quiet slumber for the night. The next morning, however, is hectic, when they awake to Luna trying to change Nimbus, who is squalling his displeasure at this new arrangement. Kero comes over and takes over, disposing of the mess, while looking at the one made by tiny dragon's paws.
"Luna. Didn't we say that you weren't to change Nimbus? That if he was dirty, you were to get one of us? Why didn't you? For that matter, I know he's only been crying for a minute or so, because it woke me up from my trance, and I hear everything like that. So why didn't you come get me?"

She looks at her paws and crinkles her nose. "Ewwww... stinkkkkkiiiiieee."

Kero nods, holding his son and quieting him gently.
"Yes, it is stinky. And you know better than to do things like that. You're not in trouble, but please don't do it again. Go and get a bath, young lady...and use soap, please. And next time, get one of us."

After Luna leaves to go take her bath, Tes sits up laughing. "Got to give her a bit of credit for initiative... still have you noticed, her speech is getting worse, Kero. Have you looked at her teeth lately? She talks like she's got pebbles in her mouth."
She reaches for Nimbus and makes certain he has all four limbs, a tail and every little digit before looking back at Kero. "Yep, he's all there, she didn't manage to lop off anything. Lighten up would you. It might do her some good to learn how to help take care of her little brother."

Kero nods at that, then gently comes over and turns Tes's head towards his changing table, showing her the absolute mess it is, covered in baby poop and splashed with powder and other things. It is a truly horrendous sight...and the smell leaves a little to be desired as well.
"I say then, that the first thing we teach her is how to do it without needing to clean up the rest of the table first. I wouldn't mind her helping to diaper the kid, but first she needs to learn how to do it properly, and I did tell her to wake us up, or was that you who told her?"
