Judith wanted Rhyldrin to stay. There wasn't a day that went by that she didn't think about him. Even without the children in her life she would have thought of him frequently but with them here every time she looked at them she thought about him. Though it wouldn't be easy to introduce him to the children as their father. She didn't really know how they would react, surprised maybe a little sad that he wasn't there for five years and happy that he was now back. Judith blamed herself for keeping Rhyldrin out of their lives for so long, she wanted to tell him but held herself back. Then again Judith didn't know how long he would be around, what if he had a mission and was gone for weeks, months maybe even a year or more? She had no idea where Rhyldrin was headed after he brought Abel home or if he really wanted to stay here with her and the children.

Judith brought herself to her knees and gave her children one more squeeze before letting them go. Sophie had become annoyed by how long she was being held and wanted to play. "Don't go outside," Judith warned her, Sophie groaned she wanted to go outside she had been scared of the creature that she had seen but she was also extremely curious about it. She would probably ask Rhyldrin about it later. Judith stood and looked down at her children. "Please, stay in the house today." she said to them and smiled. "You have plenty of toys here anyways." Vaden nodded and went to a wooden chest at the end of his bed. He began to pull out various toys that he loved. Sophie seemed annoyed though, she didn't want to spend a day inside playing with toys, she thought that that was boring. Though she eventually dragged herself to her own chest, deciding to listen to her mother for once.

Judith left the room when the children began to play, she wandered over to her own room and lingered by the doorway for a bit. She wasn't sure if Rhyldrin was asleep or not but if he was then she would try her best not to wake him. She raised an eyebrow at Vrine who she noticed was up on the bed when he shouldn't be. She quietly walked to the other side of her bed and crawled into it. Judith let out a sigh and laid on her side. Her eyes wandered over Rhyldrin, he seemed so beat up how could he always do that to himself? "I'm only letting you on the bed this one time." she whispered to Vrine and ran her hand down his side, the dragon snorted at her.
