Demus would never admit to it in a thousand years, but as he clung to Lago there in the middle of Avalon's canopy, pressed up agaisnt the other dragon with nothing but shuddering breaths between them, he was beginning to feel himself tear up too... He was getting more emotional than he'd ever thought he'd dare let himself but be... But there it was. He'd missed Lago... He'd missed him.
"I didn't think I'd ever be let back in here in a hundred years to be honest- Hey-" Demus chuckled a bit, covering up and smoothing over some of his tears as he laughed at the way Lago called him a dummy. He wasn't given a chance to say anything more however, because Lago swiftly and expertly pulled him into a kiss. Probably the sweetest kiss Demus had ever experienced. Whoever had first said that absence made the heart grow fonder had made an understatement. Demus couldn't even feel his heart, he could barely even breathe.
"We?" Demus said softly, and then looked down to where Lago had directed his hand. Instantly Demus beamed, elated that the signs that he and Lago's kits were all still doing fine... Thank god. "Hey kits.." Demus scooted down a bit to place an ear up to Lago's belly and closed his eyes. He wanted to just stay there like that for as long as he could. Quiet, peaceful, completely wrapped up in the wonderment that was being with his mate, underneath trees... And big, beautiful, open sky. "God, Lago-" He sighed. "I missed you too."

"Ah! You've arrived!!" Han was almost dancing as he watched the man, apparently called Archer, and this new dragon... Nizhoni, be brought into the main lobby of the main lab in the center of the facility. "We're so thrilled to have you both here..." He gushed. He was ready to become nothing but questions but figured he should at least try to cap his eagerness just a little bit. "Please, follow us." He gave a glance to Reva. "We'll show you to a room where you'll both be comfortable, and then we can get down to explaining everything to you. Any questions about our lovely facility can do for you, just ask..." Han's gaze snapped from Archer to Nizhoni. She was currently in her human guise... And admittedly was rather lovely. "Ask anything. Dr. Reva and I will be glad to answer..." He thrust a hand out at Archer and then looked back at the flower dragon. "I'm Dr. Han..."

"Yeah yeah, I was a pet... Kind of." Nym nodded absently. He had really been more like an adopted, almost child. The Fiskes had always been decent to him. Of course, he had never had the same privileges that Sean and Addie had had. He had never expected them. He wasn't a human and had never asked to be considered one. He had been an adult by the time that Sean and Addie were born anyhow, he'd seen them both come home as pink, squirming little things. It wasn't as if he had been raised with them. "I was a companion.. I didn't lay in the sun all day and beg scraps off the table." Nym sounded a little appalled at that. "It was... Different... Strange. Again, hard to explain."
"Alright..." Nym nodded again as Ceral spoke up about who he should mention his symptoms to. "Ivan should know, I mean, he's been pregnant twice before now. The staff will do nothing but poke and prod at you." He shuddered. He was definitely never letting himself get shot up with anything that Han or Reva sanctioned ever again. Not after that heat inducer... Nym still cringed to think about that whole fiasco. "No, the staff isn't an option." He repeated. "If we could find him... I'm sure Ivan wouldn't mind listening. He can't stay mopey forever." Or at least, Nym hoped he wouldn't... He was getting rather tired of searching for him though.
"Augh-" Nym finally raised his hands up in the air defeatedly and then slapped them back down to his sides. "I don't know where the heck he is... I can't smell worth a farthing right now.... Ivan!" Nym suddenly cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted. "IVAN!" If they couldn't sniff him out, maybe shouting for him would do something. It was somewhat of a vain hope, but Nym didn't want to be out walking around all afternoon and evening. "Hm... I say if we don't find him within the next five minutes, we head back."
"I didn't think I'd ever be let back in here in a hundred years to be honest- Hey-" Demus chuckled a bit, covering up and smoothing over some of his tears as he laughed at the way Lago called him a dummy.
