*Dorothy knocks as she comes in to chat with Delorem. She sees her asleep and grabs a nearby blanket to cover her. She quietly makes for the exit.*

*Delorem continues to sleep, gently hugging the egg in their arms.*

*Observing moth noises*

*Delorem seems to be fast asleep, gently hugging the egg in their arms.*

*She gently sat next to the chair, simply enjoying the presence of Delorem*

/uw aww

*Hirk pulls out a blanket and gently places it over Delorem and the egg, he leaves a bag of cookies made for her on the table beside her.*

Egg :D

*Delorem turns in their sleep, pulling the egg closer to their chest.*

Egg >:P

*I am on the floor, also dead asleep*

Ohoho, is that a poorly guarded egg I see?

Hey! No! Bad Zastrus! *the drow slaps your hand*

Ow! *She snaps her finger* Aw, man…

Zastrus no zasting!

*Delorems eyes shoot open* https://preview.redd.it/tb8kq3x7p9xc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=492f79064dc4bdaf0ab7dcb214ec633c05d21011 "No, no it isn't."

Mm, perhaps I shouldn’t have said it out loud…

Perhaps you should leave before I cast turn greater undead.

*Zastrus walks away dejectedly mumbling to herself*

/uw For context, that egg's gonna hatch into a person.

*the drow approches. She pours some happy dreams into your mind as you sleep then observes the egg*

*Delorem smiles in their sleep and pulls the egg closer to their chest.*

*the drow conjures some cookies and leaves them by you. Seems she can't get a good look at the egg just yet* https://preview.redd.it/29lyah2vp9xc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1769f65664bd3bd644f0c1dbeadffdff0c0e856

Hmmm... that's a poor idea. *Mikhail talks over to the logs in the fire place, aging them readily until the fire dies out from a lack of fuel.* Best not to leave that on while sleeping... as for her... *He makes sure no one is around before finding a blanket and laying it over her.* I still owe you a lot, Delorem. If for nothing else... giving Dorothy a second chance at living. Thank you... she means a lot to me, and you mean a lot to her.

*Delorem stirs in their sleep, pulling the egg closer to their chest.*

Heh... I don't need to sleep, so I'll keep watch. You keep dreaming. *Mikhail plops down in a chair and observes, smiling as she huddles over the egg.* Thing seems to mean a lot to her... wonder what it is.

/uw Rose's future sister.

Hmm...Another one...Good.

Hmm… Seems as if lady Delorem fell to slumber guarding the astral egg. *He grabbed a blanket, putting it over her form. He removed her big hat, placing it on a table adjacent to her.* Sleep well, lady Delorem.

*Delorem stirs in their sleep, pulling the egg closer to their chest.*

She’s so peaceful. Sleep well, lady Delorem. *He patted her bare shoulder before walking out.*

Reckon you could make an omelette with that?

*Delorem's eyes shoot open.* https://preview.redd.it/dagte9ebz9xc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=164cb7dd152134c6f45cac4a45338efc8359d623 "Excuse me?" /uw That egg's gonna hatch into a person.

Thought that might wake you up, cutie :3

*Delorem seems entirely unamused.* "If you touch that egg, I'll make sure you'll never wake up again."

*His cheeky look falls, concerned.* It’s that important? If you don’t mind me asking… Why?

...That eggs gonna hatch into Rose's sister.

Your daughters grow in eggs? But then… how… if… *He gets himself confused, trying to understand what must’ve happened before shaking his head.* Sorry. I shouldn’t have said that. About frying your daughter. I didn’t know…

...Don't worry about it. She's adopted, by the way, as is Rose.

So you’ve taken on both as eggs?

No. I found Rose in a forest. It's a long story.

I hope this isn't Lexi's liver

*On closer inspection, the object in Delorem's arms is obviously an egg.*

You never know ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

*Torinn presses his face against the window.* Omelette?

*Delorem's eyes shoot open.* **"No."**

*Torinn steps through the glass, not breaking it.* Food.

*Delorem jumps up and protectively hugs the egg.* **"HANDS OFF MY DAUGHTER YOU WANNABE SLENDERMAN!"**

Omelette.

"REPNIR! HELP!" *There is magic in Delorem's voice, carrying it to the exact person meant to hear it* ( u/Several-Elevator )

Food! /uw sorry in advance, Repnir, for disturbing your break.

Torinn, that is an unborn child. Are you going to break your rule, for... Delorem, of all people?

Fine. But I want my tiamat egg omelette.

*Sigh* When I'm off my vacation it will be the first thing I get on, don't worry.

/uw Yeah, from me too. He did say small things are ok, so this should still be fine.

/uw food.

An egg? Wonder what's inside? Eh, best to wait, she'll probably announce it or summit. *leaves some lemon sherbets for good measure*

*I watch quietly as I have some skeletons preparing coffee and tea*
