"That would be nice." Reiko said, blushing at the thought of a prince like Eric. "But we can see to that soon."

A portal appeared, Kalena was the first to exit. She seemed nervous about having a vacation, she really haven't had one in years

Ash looked around staying on Yama's shoulders as he exited
"whooooaaa."


Eric was standing there with a smile
"You took your time getting back here Grandmother."

Kalena rubbed behind her head
"yeah.....erm.....you know..."

Eric laughed
"yeah I know. The last vacation you had you were taken to my time" he laughed.

Reiko clapped her hands together and walked to Kalena, welcoming her with a friendly hug. "It's good to see you've arrived here safely, Kalena." She smiled. "Oh. You seem to have brought your children." He said, ruffling each of the kids' heads, including Ash. "Who is your dragon friend here?"

Kalena gave a gentle hug to Reiko.
"yeah....it was hard to leave."

Ash laughed as his head was petted.
"im Ash. Im their....dragonic brother.." he laughed unsure of his words.

"just no torching the place." Eric said

Ash laughed still
"im harmless."

"But you needed it. Even after all those years of work. You've got kids to raise again." Reiko said, smiling at Ash. "Hello, Ash. Just make sure not to set fire to anything."

Ash nodded

"oh!" Kalena took out a silver circlet
"this is for you Eric."

"Er..." Eric backed up, he knew what it was, but he never felt comfortable wearing anything on his head

"Oooh! Put it on, Eric. Let's see how it looks on you." Reiko said.

Amu and Yama were busy staying by their mother.

Eric gulped then sighed,
"for you, Reiko"
He put the circlet on,

"I don't like to think I am one..." he sighed.

"meh, same here, as well as Ethan, none of us....except your Aunt Mayura liked being royal....not really our thing"  

[TheRealKiru]

"Oh, but you look handsome." Reiko said, quite impressed with how he looked in a royal's regalia. She wiped some strays locks of hair from his face, and tucked in some pointing strands.

Eric becomes bashful when Reiko liked how he looked.
"err ahhh....eeee....." he found it hard to talk.

Kalena chuckles
"that's one of the few things left from the wreckage." she sighed  

[TheRealKiru]

Reiko smiled and continued combing Eric's hair to the side, finishing and cuddling to him. "THere~ EVen more handsome." She kissed his forehead.

"What wreckage?" Amu asked.  

[kalenakeeper]

Eric chuckled when Reiko cuddled him.

"I can probably make some royal clothes for you too, Eric." Kalena chuckled

Eric looked panicked at the though of him in full royal regalia.

She then looked at Amu
"remember when we were making the tree at the academy and Jaster disappeared and then crashed on top of me....he went to..." she counted on her fingers
"Eric's past. my future although its in my past....sadly the Kingdom that im from.....erm....it was destroyed the day we had to return....the day that Rose's first boyfriend died.....its a sensitive subject. "

She rubbed her head
"Jaster went back a year after the final war, the battle was won but the kingdom was destroyed. He said he could only find a few things, that circlet being one of the things."

"Oh. Well, what's wrong with being more royal?" Reiko asked.
