The first peaceful day

[Nephrite]

"I would appreciate it." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

Next move then, wait on Cresiel for that or do something else?

[Nephrite]

Wait on Cresiel, since Moore has Plans here.

[Anastasia]

Cresiel returns, "At the moment, he's unavailable," Is the answer you get, "I know not why or how long, though I did not get the impression it would be overly long."

[Nephrite]

"We can wait, then." Moore says. "This isn't anything that I need to rush."

[Anastasia]

"Anything that keeps him is serious," Cresiel agrees - and at that moment, there's a knock on your door.

"Moore?" Villisa calls.

[Nephrite]

"There's part of me that wants to pretend to do something scandalous for her." Moore says with a smile at Cresiel that doesn't fade as he turns to the door.

"Come in!" Moore says.

[Anastasia]

Cresiel gives you a looooong look, stone faced.

"Ah, Cresiel," Villisa smiles, "I came to congratulate you again on the war victory, Moore," she says, "I'm leaving."

A beat before Cresiel merely says, "Mother?"

"You don't need me here, you're protected by a light I can tell in my bones isn't right for me and the war's over. There's romances to be made and saved all across Creation," Villisa goes on, "So it's time for me to do some work."

[Nephrite]

"I appreciate you staying here to help us organize things." Moore says. "Please don't hesitate to call on us if you need the favor returned."

[Anastasia]

"There's no need," Villisa smiles, "I'm just here keeping up on my son."

A calm look before, "...mother."

Villisa flies forward, hugging her sun tightly. "You make sure Moore doesn't get in any trouble," she murmurs to him.

[Nephrite]

"You always have a home here." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

Villisa lets go of Cresiel and - ack! She pulls you into a hug, tiny pixie against a large solar. She smooshes you into her chest, "Oh, I'll remember that," she says, "I promise."

[Nephrite]

Moore offers her back a hug. "Thank you for everything."

[Anastasia]

She smells very good, Moore can note. Like rich perfume and something else, something special.

"Take care," she says and walks out. Once she's gone Cresiel slowly takes a long breath in and then out.

[Nephrite]

"You two seem to understand each other a little more." Moore says.
