(He looked over as he heard her voice, smiling as he caught sight of her. His poor wee lass was about as full as she could possibly be, and it was high time he got her to the nesting site and more comfortable in her natural form. He knew it would be hard on her at first, but she would grow to appreciate the freedom of letting nature dictate to her. He rose to his feet as she asked him how he was doing, and made a little noise in his throat as he went in the opposite direction of her, disappearing into the massive closet he had. His voice was muffled as he answered.) I think I may be a wee bit sleep deprived, but other than that I am fine. The site is finished and yer nest is complete.. I canna wait to take ye there, lass. (He appeared then, clutching a small black velvet pouch with drawstrings. He came over to where she stood by her sapphires and smiled gently.) This was my mam's.. tis a birth pouch, aye? The gems I gave ye.. they are a wee bit of drakon superstition.. a male gives his mate the gems that sing loudest to her, the largest stone he possesses a week before she is to nest. THen every day he brings her smaller stones, until she has all seven. (He removed the final stone from his pocket and presented it to her. All of them sang together, louder than before.) The gems go into the pouch, ye see, as a charm to bring luck and to sing to ye. (He turned the pouch over, showing the glowing red symbol of a dragon curled on the material. It was a small, but beautiful object, and he was proud to be able to present it to her.) I would like ye to have it, to keep in the nest beside ye.. and when the eggs are born and ye need to leave the nest site, ye can leave the pouch beside them and they will hear the song and ken that ye are with them. It is the first step in bonding.. verra important to them. Ye will give one of the gems to each of them when they are born. (He looked a little sheepish, and boyishly hopeful, as he held out the pouch. This gift was more significant than any other he had ever given her.. it was the single most special thing he had to give her.)
