Night settles over Cozy Box while the dining room dims to a soft blue glow. Walls quietly unfold into separate sleeping rooms, each with warm beds and fresh blankets.
Leon carries Rozlen into one room, and Nayla settles Nataly into another. The tiny horned serpent coils beside Rozlen’s bed while the spark-furred cat curls near Nataly, keeping gentle watch.
Leon Wolfe
They are safe, fed, and together. That is what matters. Whatever growing brings, we face it as one family.
Nayla Iko
Together, then. We can make every change something they experience with all of us beside them.
The infants settle beneath their blankets, their breathing soft and even. Beyond the beds, the two bonded companions remain alert but peaceful as the adults gather in the adjoining room.
Queen Voloria
Rosmira, remember this carefully: one day in Dreamscape is ten days beyond it. The children will mature with that passage, while the adults remain unchanged.
The telepathic message fades, leaving only the quiet rooms, sleeping infants, and the weight of an intimate choice: how long should this peaceful family retreat last?

“While the kids sleep Ros takes Leon and Nay into the other room and talk about the message from the queen.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Conversation, rolled +1)
Rosmira quietly leads Leon and Nayla into the adjoining room, leaving the sleeping infants and their watchful companions undisturbed. The door settles nearly soundless behind them.
Leon Wolfe
The queen’s warning changes how we measure this retreat. Ten days outside for every day here is too much to ignore.
Nayla Iko
The children will grow through that time, while we remain the same. I understand why Voloria wanted us to choose carefully.
Leon lowers his voice and glances toward the sleeping rooms. Nayla folds her arms, thoughtful rather than alarmed, giving Rosmira their full attention.
Leon Wolfe
Whatever you decide, I want it discussed openly. A longer stay could be peaceful, but the children deserve a family ready for every change it brings.
Nayla Iko
Then we decide together, without rushing. The queen gave us knowledge, not an order, and we are all here to protect the little ones.

“Well I say lets stay. If they grow fast they can come into there abilities sooner. Need i remind both of you our kids are succubus werewolf and a pureblooded werewolf. If they change one day let it be in secret so we can control it.”

Rosmira
Let’s stay. If they grow fast, they can come into their abilities sooner. Our children are a succubus-werewolf and a pureblooded werewolf. If they change one day, let it be in secret, so we can control it.
Leon studies Rosmira in the quiet adjoining room. Through the closed doors, the infants’ breathing remains steady, while the decision settles into something deliberate rather than fearful.
Leon Wolfe
You’re right about the time we have here. If their abilities surface sooner, we can teach them safely before the outside world ever sees a change.
Nayla Iko
Then secrecy becomes part of our care, not something we use to frighten them. We watch for signs, learn what each child needs, and never let either one face it alone.
Nayla’s guarded expression softens. Leon reaches across the space and takes her hand, accepting the plan as a shared family promise rather than Rosmira’s burden alone.
Leon Wolfe
We stay in Dreamscape. We set a quiet watch, keep their changes private, and give them time to grow strong enough to understand themselves.
Nayla Iko
Together, then. When the first sign comes, we meet it calmly, and we teach them that their nature is nothing they need to hide from us.
“So Leon, Nay I am going to bed if either or both of you wish to join me please do so Good night.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Conversation, rolled +1)
Rosmira
Leon, Nayla, I’m going to bed. If either or both of you wish to join me, please do so. Good night.
Rosmira crosses to the adjoining bedroom and leaves the door open behind her. The quiet invitation remains between the three adults, warm and unpressured.
Leon Wolfe
Good night, Rosmira. I would like to join you. I’ll check the little ones once more, then come in quietly.
Nayla Iko
I would like that too. We can rest together, and still keep watch without making the night feel like a duty.
Leon checks both sleeping rooms, finding Rozlen and Nataly peaceful beneath their blankets. He returns with a softened expression, while Nayla follows close behind him.
Leon and Nayla enter Rosmira’s room and settle beside her, leaving space for everyone to rest comfortably. Beyond the open doorway, the quiet watch continues.
