Vel Marous Emrys

fruit battle royal

I woke up the next day with my whole body aching. But I was all wrapped up in Papa's arm's I nuzzled his chest like a small cub. "Papa I hurt I whined at him." He stirred slowly I took note I was in his bed and so was Snape. I scowled at that especially since I hadn't the energy to get up and leave. I could see salt was curled between me and Papa snoozing away. "Papa! Gotta go but hurt!" I said whining louder this time my muscles felt like they had been under the crusiotus curse for hours. I cried softly trying to get up but my body wouldn't respond. I wound up peeing the bed. That woke them both pretty fast. But I was sobbing silently.

"Cub? What? Why didn't you get up to go?" Papa asked still in a sleep haze. I sobbed more very upset about it. Never once had I went a bed. Salt seemed irritated about being wet and stinky as he slunk from the room.

"Body hurts. Can't move. I didn't mean to Papa. I tried to wake you. I'm sorry. Please don't be angry." I told them between sobs. Papa picked me up cradle style. I felt Snape's magic wash over me.

"Warm bath, rest, and a massage. His muscles are locked up after all that running. Seams he played to hard yesterday." Snape informed Papa. "I'll take care of the bed and bring clean clothes. You go get him in the bath. And don't drop him still need to teach him how to swim Fenrir." I felt a soft kiss placed on my head by Snape. I gave a low growl but did nothing else.

When Papa took us into the bath I apologized again for the mess. He shook his head gently rubbing the bath scrub on my back. Tom entered a few minutes later clearly being harassed by Salt. He grumbled as he stripped got in them pulled salt into the water. Me and Papa watched as he leathered up a scrub before gently washing my familiar. I could feel a tingling in my magic from the fact he was washing Salt.

Snape had joined at some point and was now carefully washing/massaging my upper body. It was definitely working I felt like I could move my arms again though not enough to grip anything. Papa passed me over to Snape as he took charge of my legs. I continued to watch as Tom set Salt on the ledge so he could leave before he started to wash himself. I watched him curiously. How was he not just as sore as me. Once I was deemed clean Snape started to try and teach me to float. I pouted not in a learning mood. But I had lost sight of Tom.

Papa dressed me in pants and a t-shirt very boyish so I knew Papa was still upset about yesterday. He could never stay angry at me when I wore pretty dresses. Once up into the main room Snape started cooking. Papa sat us down on his chair. "Vel look I know you got bored I probably should have expected that but you brought a dark lord home I had to do something." I frowned at him. Genuinely upset that even bringing Tom here hadn't been enough for them to see it.

"That's not why I took Tom down there yesterday. I took him down there to get away from the high security lockdown. You've been following me to even just relieve myself. It's annoying." I told him flat out. "Besides that bringing Tom here was the logical next step obviously." I said like it was plain as day which it honestly was.

Papa sputtered at me. "How? How is bringing a dark lord home logical?" He seemed like he was legitimately flummoxed.

It was Tom's voice that answered. I saw Abraxus, Narcissa, and Lucius following him in. "Because you've overlooked some of the other things he's done and or still doing." I giggled knowing he would take my side on the matter.

Snape sat next to Papa. As he floated the dishes down to let everyone eat. "What might those things be. Not that I'm complaining my lord, but it honestly doesn't seem logical to me." Snape said carefully avoiding eye contact with Tom.

Abraxus snorted at them getting curious looks from the rest. Seeing as Abraxus was directly on Papa's other side I reached out for him. The other were clearly startled. Of course Abraxus was as well but didn't show much of it. He scooped me into his lap gently. "Okay so at seven he secured resources and a border patrol on his lands by bringing your pack here. By nine had the cubs learning basic schooling and hand to hand. Not to mention has built a fortress. And trains himself daily. Shortly after his eleventh birthday he has taken his owl's and his scores are phenomenal." He surmised clearly expecting revelation. But only got mixed prideful and confused looks.
