(Third Person POV)
Riktor was walking along the hallway with his brother next to him, "What were you asking me, Sylas?" He asked, a serious look on his face, "I didn't hear you, I apologize."
"I asked if you have spent time with Mama Maegelle." Sylas said, "Since she got back."
"No." Riktor said, "Father has not seen her in more than a month, I don't think she will be available to deal with us any time soon."
"What do you mean?" Sylas frowned
"They're intimate with each other. As we speak, they're doing adult stuff." Riktor said as he rubbed his neck, "Don't concern yourself with it."
"Oh." Sylas said, "Well..."
"Boys~~~" a voice caused them to stop and freeze
"Curses." Riktor said under his breath, "Here she comes."
"Mama Saera...." Sylas said with a nervous expression
They both turned to see Saera walking up to them with a smile on her face, "How are my beautiful sons doing?" She said as she reached them, "Can Mama Saera have a kiss?"
She crouched down and pointed at her cheeks, her eyes closed.
"Do we have to?" Sylas asked
"We are busy, Mama Saera...." Riktor said seriously
"Oh, don't be so cruel....." Saera frowned, "Your Mama cares so much about you.....will you break my heart like this?"
"I....well...." Riktor said, "Just one, alright."
"Yes yes, one from each." Saera chuckled, "Go on~"
They both leaned in and kissed her cheeks, causing her to blush as she smiled.
"Ahh, my sons kissed my cheeks!" She said as she immediately hugged them, "I love you both so much~! Do you love me???"
"I....I guess...." Riktor said as he was being smothered, "Can you let me go?"
"No." Saera said, "Say it."
"I love you, Mama Saera." Sylas said, his voice muffled as his face was in her chest, "Let me go please."
"I love you too~!" She said as she began to kiss his face repeatedly, "Your Mama loves you dearly. Tell me, what do you want to do today? Do you wish to ride with me on Dreamfyre??? Your wyvern is not ready to hold you in flight, Sylas and Riktor's beast doesn't want to fly.....what will it be? Hmm???"
"I am fine." Riktor grumbled, "You can take Sylas...."
"I don't mind it, Mama." Sylas said, "I need to get used to flying."
"Oh~!" She said as she hugged him tightly, "My son, my boy, my love! I will take you to the highest point of the sky so you can see that everything in this world is beneath you! Just like your Father, nothing will rival you both. You are the pinnacle of power, just like Drakken! When you grow up, strength and power will be synonymous with your name. I know it!"
"Sure." Sylas blinked, "Can I go eat something first?"
"Sure sure, let us go!" She straightened up and grabbed his hand, "Riktor, do you wish to eat with us?"
"I already ate." Riktor walked away, "You guys can go ahead and do that."
"He's been more serious since Mama Maegelle had gone to the Citadel." Sylas said as he looked up, "He said something about taking his Knighthood seriously."
"Oh?" Saera said, "He did say he wanted to be a mighty knight....hm.....interesting...say, Sylas, do you like armor?"
"Uhm...." Sylas said, "I guess so, I have to wear it at some point."
"Then leave it to Mama." Saera smiled
"Leave what....to you?" Sylas was a bit confused
"My beautiful boys, you already have the weapons that you will wield when you grow up." Saera flicked her hair back,
"I believe you need the proper armor for that as well."

[The Following Morning]
Riktor walked up to Maegelle's door, a serious look on his face, "Hm...." he said, "I wonder if she is awake..."
As he reached it, he heard faint sounds from the other side. The more he focused on the sounds, the clearer they became. There were restrained moans and other mature sounds that a boy his age should not be hearing.
He rolled his eyes, "Dammit..." He said as he began to knock on the door, "Mama Maegelle! I need to speak to you!"
He stepped back, and after nearly a minute of sudden silence, the door creaked open, just a little. Maegelle peeked through the door, her hair was a sweaty mess, as she was wearing a robe that completely covered her.
"O-Oh....Riktor..." She said as she was blushing, "W-What is it?"
Riktor raised an eyebrow, "Am I interrupting something?" He asked, "Should I come back?"
"No, you're not interrupting anything." She tucked her hair behind her ear, "What is it, love?"
"I want to learn the healing arts that Father taught you." He said seriously, "I figure they would come in handy. I think it is appropriate if I ask you directly since you are the one who is learning to master them."
"Oh!" Maegelle said as she fully walked out the door, leaving it open, "I see.....well....sure....not today, though...possibly....tomorrow?"
"Hm." Riktor said, "I see....that is good...."
"You want to learn how to heal yourself?" Maegelle smiled
"Sure, you could say that." Riktor said
"What for?" Drakken came into view, wrapping his arm around Maegelle, "You don't need to heal yourself, your body is strong and will repair itself."
He was wearing nothing but his pants, his upper body exposed completely.
"Just a precaution." Riktor said seriously, "I want to be thorough."
"Hm." Drakken said as he eyed his son up and down, "Now that I notice it, you are growing quite a lot. Perhaps your sword can finally be dusted off, don't you think?"
"It is mine." Riktor said, "By right, I should wield it when I desire."
"So you say." Drakken leaned in and kissed Maegelle behind her ear
"Ah...." She said as she blushed, "Stop....not in front of Riktor....."
"Hm...." Drakken smirked, "Riktor, I will need to reforge your sword."
"Hm?" Riktor asked, "Why?"
"Valyrian Steel is quite sturdy and strong....but I don't want my son to wield such an inferior steel." He said with a chuckle, "Worry not, the sword that will come out of the reforging will be worthy of your strength. Continue your training and soon, you will be a mighty warrior...."
Riktor turned around, "Very well." He said as he walked away, "I will expect it soon."
Maegelle watched him walk away, "He's..." She said softly, "A bit more serious."
"Hm." Drakken said, "You think so?"
"Yes...." Maegelle said, "I hope I am not the reason for it."
"I am." Drakken told her, "Let's go back to bed."
"Can I eat something?" Maegelle asked as he pulled her inside, "I am hungry....."
"I have sent for food already." Drakken said, "We'll take a break when it gets here."
"Let's keep going, my body yearns for you."
