Pandora saw Stoney and Alise gathering their children and she decided it was probably time for her to take Chloe up to the nursery as well... but she hesitated; Absynthe was still on her shoulder and watching Tork across the table.
The little dragon seemed to stretch and preen, then she slid her head along Pandora's cheek in a show of affection... Pandora realized the creature was displaying decidedly feminine wiles... trying to draw the attention of the male across the table. "We need to get Chloe to bed Absinthe, after she is tucked in with the nanny you can come back down with me"... The little dragon gave her soft trilling happy sound and flew round Chloe as Pandora picked her up and took her toward the stairs... stopping for Ob to kiss his daughter as he returned from getting Tomas his stones.
Pandora looked into Ob's eyes and whispered breathlessly.."I'll be right back, our daughter is nodding off." She felt an overwhelming urge suddenly to be held and stroked by this man she loved so deeply... realizing all the dynamics going round the room among those close to her were seeding this need. Chloe was soon in her nightgown and cuddled in bed... Pandora singing a soft Celtic lullaby her mother had sung to her... and smiled softly as her daughter's eyes closed; and she left with Absynthe.
The room was still rowdy... the night young for most of the patrons, the gay new fall foliage seemed to warm the room and its patrons... and many had stopped Pandora to comment on the new look. Pandora found her way to Obsidian; he pulled her onto his lap and kissed her with an intensity that told her he understood the seething emotions she felt, and she sat content with her head leaning into his shoulder. Absynthe seeing Pandora content took to the air and flew round the room getting the feel of the patrons... and sensing no danger she landed in the rafters among the foliage; watching the male dragon Tork from her roost... puzzled at herself for being drawn to him... and his indifference.
Pandora watched the dynamics between Tori and Tannr... virtual sparks seemed to spring from them... at least with her witch's eyes she saw them, and she wondered where the couple would end... they were both so independent and strong seeming; but often underneath the most steely exterior were the softest of loving emotions... Ob had shown her that when they fell in love.
Obsidian must have read her thoughts; for he tilted her head and gave her a passionate kiss that said she was his alone....
