"Kami, do you want to do the honors?"
"Of course." Another wave of her hand opened two small Steps from which milk bottles came out, making Lith groan. "You already had some quality time with the twins, mister. Now stop pouting and make up for the lost time with the babies."
Elysia and Valeron exchanged a confused look, wondering if they had rivals or new siblings they weren't aware of. They had both learned how another baby could appear out of nowhere at any time.
For Elysia, it had happened with Surin and then with Shargein and Valeron the second. One moment she was alone, and the next she had to share her crib with another baby.
For Valeron, it was less confusing since he was aware that Lith wasn't his biological parent but he had no idea as well why the number of his siblings seemed to change every day.
According to their mutual understanding, either parent could make a baby at will. Their chittering in Dragontongue, as they discussed the matter, was instantly silenced by the bottles' approach.
They were both hungry. Food always took priority over mere words. They could always resume the conversation later, assuming their young brains retained a memory of the issue, of course.
The two babies sucked avidly, only taking a few breaks to check on Lith with Dragon scales. They both needed a lot of reassurance before they stopped fearing he might disappear again.
Valeron because he hadn't seen Lith for days and even though he hadn't witnessed the Void Demon Dragon's fury, his trauma from losing both his parents made him wary of any prolonged absence.
Elysia, instead, had seen Lith twice already since his rescue, but it only made her more scared. The first time she had failed to recognize her father in the brute in front of her and the second time she had been taken away mere minutes after reuniting with him.
To her, it was much worse than not seeing him at all.
A few bottles and lots of scales later, they felt relaxed enough to empty their bowels to make space for the scrumptious meal they had just consumed.
'Damn, this is pure genius!' Lith thought in astonishment. 'I have no idea what this tower can do, but using wood as the main material is not as desperate as I thought. Sure, it's no Davross and its starting properties are worse than Orichalcum, but its potential is infinite. freewēbnoveℓ.com
