"Ugh, could someone please tell that goat to stop tap dancing on my head?" Elunara grumbled to the room.
"Ah, you're awake." Tulani laid a cool cloth on Elunara's head.
"How many days did I lose this time?"
"Only four."
"Bleh." She sat up and rubbed her head. "I don't feel drained."
"No, you had overload euphoria. I'm certain you had to sleep off the excess energy in your system and are at a normal level now."
"Please tell me they kept the skull."
Tulani laughed. "Yes, Jordan and Grogek got it back into place."
"Sweet." She shook her head. "I can't believe the whole damned town pumped me full of energy. That was crazy."
"So you do remember what happened?"
"Yeah, there's some fuzzy stuff, like I have no idea what the hell I was screaming."
Tulani passed her a cup.
Elunara laughed and drank. "Anyway, that's about all I remember."
"Do you remember telling Johnathan that you liked kissing him?" Zelinnia was leaning against the door, her arms crossed.
"I did what?" Elunara stared in shock.
"You... run your mouth when you have overload Euphoria." Tulani giggled.
"Oh, Gods." She smacked her forehead.
"Payback's a bitch." Zelinnia laughed.
"Fine. I always thought Renwa was one of the best kissers of the men I've had. He just wasn't the best at the rest of it."
"Well, that's good to know." Renwa stepped into the room.
Elunara smacked her forehead again.
"HA! Now I get to laugh at YOU for it!" Zelinnia pointed.
"Yeah, that was like, twice out of HOW many times have you done it?"
"Don't care, still get to."
"I don't recall you ever complaining." Renwa raised an eyebrow.
"First of all, I liked you, didn't want to insult you by giving you instructions. Second of all, by time I felt comfortable enough to give you further instruction, I was already getting the clingy vibe off of you and knew I had to bail soon." She gave a shaky shrug. "I could have kissed you for hours and been happy." She felt her face go hot.
Renwa's eyebrows shot up. "I'm going to have to process this another time." He sighed.
"Now I get to kiss him for hours." Zelinnia grinned.
Elunara snorted. "Excuse me; I get to kiss ALL the men for hours. Preferably my own." Elunara rocked her head to the side. "And my wife... though I have to be honest, the fangs add something interesting."
"Interesting to what?" Grogek stepped in the room. He brushed past the others and went to the opposite side of the bed and sat down beside her.
"Kissing."
"Ah, I was thinking the other thing."
"Oh, that one's just mean." She grinned at him.
"Do I want to know?" Renwa shook his head.
"Well, she does go absolutely crazy when they tickle her thighs" Grogek grinned as he rubbed a finger over the tip of one of this large fangs.
She elbowed him.
"Nope, I didn't want to know." Renwa pinched his nose.
"Is she awake?" Tyrande stuck her head in the door.
"And back to normal it sounds like." Grogek chuckled.
"MOMMA!" Both boys dove on the bed.
"Hey, don't forget me." Jordan wedged past the crowd and tucked on to the bed behind Elunara.
Tulani giggled and took her place in the bed.
"I feel like I have a throne of people." Elunara laughed. "Comfy, yet lumpy."
"I am endlessly impressed with how many of this town stepped forward and offered up their energy for you." Tyrande shook her head. "I am still in disbelief."
"It's freaking crazy is what it is." Elunara laughed.
"You have come far from an angry little girl who humiliated someone out of spite."
"I wasn't little; I was almost twenty by that point."
"You will always be little to me."
"Yeah, you gained like three feet in height."
Tyrande laughed. "That I did."
"Have you people been hanging out in my house for the past four days?" She sighed.
"Just about." Zelinnia laughed. "Abigail is asleep downstairs and Ina..."
"I'm here. Whoever designed your stairs needs smacked." She sighed.
Elunara winced. "Sorry."
"I know your mother is more than qualified to check you out, but I wanted a look at ya myself."
Elunara helped her get in the bed.
Ina put a hand to her forehead and closed her eyes. Ina moved her hands up and down. "You seem well enough and no ill effects." Ina put her hands on her hip. "I don't know what to do with you some days."
"Welcome to the family." Grogek, Tulani and Jordan all said in unison. They blinked at each other before laughing.
Elunara gave a grand sigh. "I love you all too."
"Amazing display of loyalty, that." Ina laughed. "Of course, so was the ring. Who'd have thought that all of them would have contributed?"
"I know. I'm losing my touch." Elunara sighed.
There was a scrabbling sound of nails on the floorboards. Out of nowhere, Yoona bounded in and dove into the bed, knocking Ina over and sending the boys bouncing.
"Goddammit Yoona!" Elunara winced as claws went into her leg.
Savage strolled in to the room, put his paws on the bed and grabbed Yoona by the scruff with his teeth. He yanked her down into the floor. She tried to bounce again, but he whacked her in the face and sat on her. Savage rubbed his head against Elunara's hand. She sighed and scrubbed her hand on his head. Tugging back the blanket, she inspected her shredded leg. Savage put his front paws on the bed and licked her leg.
"That..." Tyrande blinked. "Was strange."
"Yoona has been a complete menace." Elunara sighed.
"She's destroyed thousands of gold worth of fabric and many hours of my work." Tulani crossed her arms.
"And she's eaten several people's baskets!" Bradly added with a giggle.
"Ugh, the whole town is on alert, that when Yoona destroys something, I will pay for it." Elunara rubbed her healing leg.
"Oh, dear. I never thought she would be such trouble. She comes from good breeding stock."
