[ It's late, or what constitutes "late" when underground. The dragon hatchlings are all supposed to be settling down in their little nests. Sleeping. And some of them are -- Okenus and Ledas both appear to be completely tuckered out, the way they're flopped into their bedding.
On the floor between the nests sits Julie. Anthusa lies sleepily in her lap, but Epeius apparently still has some energy. He's perched atop her head, between some flowers that show she has recently been in pursuit of the missing Khloris. Epeius is rapt as she flips the page of a picture book she holds in front of herself. ]
And so the little dragon went soarin', far far far over the ocean. He flew all the way to visit the moon, and then he flew back to where his mother was waiting for him. [ With a soft squawk, Epeius flaps his wings a few times, and Julie rolls her eyes upward toward him. ] Hey, no winds. You'll wake everyone up.
[ She notices Crane in the doorway, bringing the scent of... maybe grapefruit? She can't tell. Her gaze settles on him as she slowly turns to the next page. ]
