Van heaved a nostalgic sigh before going to leave the room. "Alright, if either of you want to come along, speak now or forever hold your peace!" he called to the kids wherever they were as he headed downstairs.

"I'll be glad to come along, so long as you don't mind having me around~" Larai called out with a grin.

"The more the merrier and we could use an emergency healer." Van said with a smile.
"If I get to beat some a** on the way, I'm game." Kai said coming downstairs.

Mala grinned broadly. "Looks like we get our first family outing in what seems like a million years!"

"More like five hundred years or so. Remember that town faire and your bad cooking that turned me and Larai into little brats?" Kai said flatly.

"You were so adorable too!" Mala exclaimed, reaching out to tightly hug Kai. "So grumpy and pouty, just like when you were one!"

"Moooom!" Kai groaned in embarrassment, cheeks flushed though he didn't resist the hug.

"Even despite that grumpy expression, you always held on to your innocence. At least, until your teenage years. So pure, so lively...my perfect little baby boy." After muttering this Mala stood up and hugged Larai as well. "You were always so sweet, so smart. I love how no matter what, you would see the best in people. My sweet, sweet little girl..."

"Geeze mom, you're making it sound like we're leaving for parts unknown never to be seen again." Kai muttered.

"I guess something inside of me is making me a little scared to leave. This home is where I was born and where I lived in during the earlier days of my mortal youth. Your father and I raised you two here and spend a wonderful millennium together here. The thought of leaving, if only temporarily, brings all those wonderful memories back." Mala admitted with a soft chuckle. "I'm being silly, I know."

"Careful, if you get too nostalgic you might make us cry." Van joked as he put an arm around Mala's shoulders. "And don't worry, we'll be back way before time turns the place into another wreck."

((I don't know why, but I keep getting these mental images of Van as a family man in jeans and a turtle-neck sweater....And he looks surprisingly good in it....))

{You're right. The image does suit him! O_o}
"Good. Rebuilding it the first time was such a hassle, wasn't it?" Mala said in a joking manner, gazing up at Van now. "Regardless, you should drag me out whenever you are ready - or we'll never leave."

"Just waiting for you to get the nostalgia out of your system." Van said giving her a quick kiss on the cheek before leading the way out the door.
((If I had any mad art skizzles I'd totally draw it. But I don't, so I won't.))

{I wish I could do it, but I can't. I currently have no access to DeviantArt. I need to get antivirus first.}
"Trust me, we'll never be able to do that so long as I'm here." Mala said, walking alongside Van and heading out with him.
