Melou spent his first full day home in relative peace, mostly alone in his room with a short trip down to the river for a swim. Dinner was, of course, busier than usual. Everyone wanted to hear about his trip and he was more than happy to oblige for a few hours.

Finally, he managed to excuse himself. He had something to do and didn't want to put it off any longer. He made a brief stop at his room and then headed to another large door, entering only after receiving a "come in" in response to his knock.

"Mam?"

"I know." She squeezed his hand. "Thank you for coming to see me, love, but I think I would like to sleep now."

He nodded and raised her hand to kiss the back of it.

"Do you want me to have anything sent up for you?"

[cywyllog]

"No, I have everything for now." She smiled tiredly up at him as he stood.

[dragon_twin]

"I'll see you tomorrow, then. Sleep well." He leaned down to kiss her cheek again and then headed for the door.

[cywyllog]

She called to him quietly, just as he reached the door.

"I love you, Melou."

[dragon_twin]

"I love you, too, Mama." He answered softly and then slipped out into the hallway.
