"Well, the draconic word 'Aurix' means 'gold' in one of the human tongues" Aura replied. "That's why my parents named me 'Aura.' "
"It might be hard for us to do if we have a big family" Orna noted.

"Wool? Hemp? Linen?" Kos named a few materials, not sure what was good.

"How many children did you plan on having?" Orna asked.

"We don't have any here, so we'll have to buy some. I guess we could save some money and buy some flax for you to weave into linen" Kos suggested

"Only if we don't neec anything else" Sasha said

"Huh, I didn't know that," Avera said. "Auryn was just a name that I liked."

Orna smiled at that. "I suppose that's how all families start. Yes, that's a good idea."

"Well, I assume you have all the tools needed to weave cloth?" Kos asked.
"It's a very good name" Aura assured Avera.

"Sounds like a strong name too. Then again, I'll bet all parents think that" Caex added.

"As many as we can support and as many as nature will give us" Orna replied, still smiling.

"Then it shouldn't be hard to get you the flax you need to make the linen" Kos replied.

Avera smiled and scooped Auryn up, kissing his cheek and cradling him.

Tran laughed, "kind of like asking how long a piece of string is"

Sasha smiled, "alright than"

"We'll have to see" Orna replied. "I can't give an exact number."

"You had to sew before, right? Weaving and sewing are two different things, if my memory serves. And knitting, that's something else entirely. And croqueting, that's like... knitting with one weird-looking needle, kinda?" This wasn't his field of expertise.
"You're really good at this... parenting thing" Caex said, thinking that he should have cradled Auryn before.

"Well, you never really did take care of children before, did you?" Aura asked.

"Not really. I mean, I'd watch some of our little brothers and sisters, but this really isn't the same thing" Caex replied. Turning to Avera, he asked her something he meant to bring up earlier. "So, when do you want to introduce him to your parents?"

"I've had to babysit my nieces and nephew so I've got some experience, but this whole time, I've just been doing what I feel is right," Avera said. "And we can go tomorrow. I do have one question though, why is it when someone wants to hold the baby they pass him back after a couple of minutes? I mean I love Auryn, but family is more than welcome to take him for a while."

"In that case, can I hold my nephew?" Ryland asked, taking Auryn when Avera passed him over.

"I guess we're just a bit nervous to hold him" Caex said. "I mean, I am, kinda. We'll get used to this over time." he let it trail off.

"It's a dracon thing, or at least it is with my family" Aura explained, looking at Ryland and Auryn.

"I will say one thing. Auryn is a lot easier to deal with than I had imagined. He's hardly ever cried yet and he's easy to feed" Caex added.

Tran nodded, "alright" he said, "life is unpredictable anyway"

"I am very deveserfied in my skills in this area" sasha said, "I never knew what orders id get"

"What's there to be nervous about?" Avera asked. Ryland shrugged and gently scratched Auryn's back when he started getting restless.

"Well, it's just that, hatchlings are so fragile..." Caex replied, trailing off a bit.

"He'll be walking before you know it" Aura told her brother, trying to encourage him. "I mean, I'm a bit nervous about it too, but that's already starting to pass for me. It's just the novelty of holding such a young relative. You'll get used to holding your son quickly enough, I guess."
"And we have all the room we need here to raise a large brood" Orna assured him.

"Good to know" Kos said, lying back. "The most diversity I have is how to use several kinds of weapons. Not quite the same skill set as you, I know."

Tran nodded, "and a good chance at giving them a nice life, with the farm"

"You were made for weapons, I was made for needle and fhread" sasha said with a shrug, then smiled, "and yetsomehow, we work together well"

"I think of it more like what my father told me. The farm is a safe harbor for them. If our children want to stay here, I'd be happy, but I'd also be happy letting them go, knowing that they have a place to turn to if things go wrong" Orna replied.

"We complete each other" Kos added. "Like two sides of a coin."

"Babies and hatchlings aren't nearly as fragile as you'd think," Ryland said. "Human babies are actually pretty tough."
