The girl smiled at Alliene's words and looked up at her with untainted love in her amber eyes, "Thank you Mother," and gently took the ruby, spider and the cocoon from Alliene's hands and set them down. Still looking at her, Zyaevl placed her arms around the drow and hugged her tightly, her head on Alliene's breast the girl whispered "I love you Mother... thank you. For everything." The girl sighed happily. Somewhat shorter then Alliene, she would probably grow in time. Right now, she was still very much a child, despite her body being that of an adolescent's. The girl yawned sleepily, then asked, "Why don't you ever sleep?" her arms still around Alliene. It was quite probably if Alliene stroked her hair and craddled her, she would fall asleep on the spot. Alliene was a little surprised at Zyaevl's bodywieght; it was quite light, even for an elf. She would have no trouble at all lifting her if she wished to carry the child back to bed.

Arlyth smiled and closed his eyes. Softly, he whispered "Goodnight Alae." His breathing became regular, and Alae lifted his head off her lap and onto the pillow, and shuffled down beside him, closing her eyes. Arlyth, half asleep snuggled up to her and the pair fell asleep.
