Flight was not nearly as hard now, and Aurum wasted no time in her haste to meet again with her human. In her true form, it was less obvious that she had grown considerably, and it had been a hassle hiding it from her family. The small, firm pouch that had been what she arrived with was already considerably larger and rounded, poking out from her small frame and - in the last few days - began dropping slightly. But in her dragon form, she just looked large and full, though another dragon might be able to smell the difference in her body.. and so she had not shifted in front of her parents until her departure. She stopped only once - at Ralph's bar to order a heaping plate of steak and potatoes - and then was on her way once more.
His scent filled her nostrils far before she ever saw her cave. When it was close, she landed and the earth rumbled some. Aurum shifted, her body a whirl of mist.. though it was darker than normal, as if fueled by a different magic. She spoke an incantation and was taken up to the entrance of her lair, and smiled at the sight of her lover. Kael must have been there for a while by the way he lounged sleepily on her horde.. which she noted was getting smaller with each leave she took of it. She needed to make sure to start collecting again.. after she met the king. While from behind the woman might not have appeared very swollen, from the front and from the side it was almost hard to miss that she had bulged in merely one area. Aurum moved to her prince with a walk that held a slight waddle to it.
The dragoness plopped down on the hill of gold next to her lover, and rested her head on his shoulder. Just touching him sent a surge of power through her that pulsed in her gut. The magic in Kael moved in rhythm with the magic that formed inside of Aurum, returning it and yet growing the more she was around Kaelthas. She prodded him gently with her nose and pursed her lips for a kiss from him. They would be going through with their plans soon enough, but the dragon was content to lounge with him and be together for now.

The top of the pile was easily the most comfortable, there was a slight concave part in the center where she would rest her belly when in dragon form. She couldn't help but feel a little diminished at the size of her horde - though it was not small by any means - it was still much less than what her companion had first seen. Smiling to her lover as he sat up and dropped coins from his body, Aurum returned each of his kisses enthusiastically, her eagerness showing. "I have missed you far more," She returned, kissing him again and then sitting back some so that he might gaze upon her.
Though she welcomed it and expected it, her cheeks warmed and her already unnaturally heated body was rather hot when he commented on the thieves.. but then also looked over her form. "I will just have to sell some rare demon wares in the human land," She said, as if she had it figured out on how to grow her wealth once more. When he told her of her glow, she smiled and her blush deepened. She returned his kissing and once again, the spark of magic was strong from her core. Aurum moved one hand to his, guiding him to where shifting could be felt within her, where the power pulsed strongest. As she did this, she gradually broke from his lips, "Have you decided which disguise you want me to use?" Though the kiss was finished, she stayed against his face, speaking in a soft voice. She had previously told him he would have to decide - after all, he had placed all the glimmers - and he had yet to tell her which he wanted.
Soon, they would have to leave. The king would be expecting them.. though the dragon was unsure how much time Kael had granted the two.

Aurum smiled as he told her he had decided, and her mouth only continued to spread wide as he seemed to feel what their child was putting out. Perhaps it was the mixture of their magic.. but they still did not understand where his stemmed from. The dragoness sat up some as he looked down, enjoying his attentions. "I did have trouble with finding them out," She admitted as he helped her to a stand. With a hand to her stomach, she pursed her lips for another kiss before he changed her. Inside, the magic calmed and caused far less stirring in her body. As he cast on her, she noticed the mist was dark - perhaps it might have been her imagination.
The dragon could feel the difference, though they could not be felt by others. Her head held a different weight to it than it had before, and the red locks that fell around her body were heavy in a different way. Her height was appreciated, and even the tan skin was nice to look at. Aurum opened her mouth, touching her jaw and chin. To Kael, perhaps, he would not physically feel the change to his dragon, but she felt them and she grinned. He delivered on a human appearance that did not feel too unlike her. Aurum embraced him, her belly causing only the slightest gap between the two. "So long as I don't spit fire, we might get away with this."
(no belly in the change or yes belly? @-@)

Of course she wouldn't lose her temper! Aurum gave a little pout as he suggested that she would - even if she had just implied something similar. The dragoness felt, once more, the strong pulse of magic between them as he held her. The warmth between them as he worried, almost as though her body picked up on the feelings he gave off. Aurum held him closer, her eyes closed as she enjoyed the moment between the two of them. Though she had not outright told him, there was happiness and heat that she emanated whenever he was near her, and her heart swelled each time she was able to merely speak with him. Maybe it was just hormones - but the young princess had never felt this way with a man, let alone a human, that took such loving care of her.
As he asked what to do, and cracked a joke, the dragoness grinned up to Kael.. though when he released, Aurum gave a little pout and placed a hand to her stomach, rubbing it some as he spoke again, asking if she would rather rest or go. Giving a shrug, she ceased pouting and smiled slightly for her prince, "When is your father expecting us? If it is soon, I would like to just get going," No point in wasting any time, getting right to work.. wonder who she was beginning to sound like.

As he explained they didn't need to rush, the dragon furrowed her brow some. Of course they would need to get there as soon as possible, even if she did pause to rest every now and then. She would have liked the scenic route if she wasn't in her current predicament, but seeing as her belly enlarged with each passing day, Aurum shook her head. "I think we should fly as far as the borders will allow us and then make our way from there, perhaps gain access to a carriage of some sort," Even if she was in a rush, she was in no hurry to walk to the castle. Walking around her own home caused her feet to ache, she couldn't imagine going all the way to her lover's home in such a way. Aurum gave a shrug, "Or we could just risk it and fly to the town closest to the castle, your call."

Aurum listened a little loosely to his plan, hearing that they could get two towns from the castle.. but then her mind began to drift to the new sorts of people and treasures she would encounter. With Kael's magic in her necklace, she could go wherever she pleased! The adventures became unlimited! Forgetting herself for a moment, she broke into a wide grin despite her lover's dark features and vocalized some of her excitement quietly, "I bet I could find all sorts of new things for my horde," She looked to her human now, and zoned back into his plan as he explained he could gain a carriage. Hearing that it would still take about two days was no problem for her - after all, her family wouldn't worry before a week of being gone.. and even then, she wasn't worried anymore. Aurum was sure this would go without a hitch, and she took Kael's hand, "We better get going, I'm guessing it will be dark by the time we reach our flight destination," She kissed her lover gently, the glimmer's height to her advantage. The dragon backed from the kiss only to go over to her horde.
Moving through the pile, she found one of the packs she had hidden a few deceptively plain items inside. Smiling, she looked over the dagger and small pouch that was inside, giving the pouch a small shake - which granted a slight jingle. She opened it and looked inside, but as she reached her hand inside, her arm went with it and she was reaching far deeper than it seemed the pouch could allow. Pulling her arm out, she took quite a few handfuls from her horde and placed them in the pouch. As she gave the coinpurse another shake, it made the same noise - a slight jingle suggesting only a few coins. Aurum placed both of these items back in the pack, but searched around once more for her flask from their previous travels. Finding it some time later, she crawled the rest of the way over her horde and to her more domestic side of her cave. Aurum grabbed a cloak for herself, and stuffed it into her pack.. along with a very small book - about the size of her palm. There was more magic to the dragon than she let on, and she suspected that taking her spell book would be a wise decision for this trip. Returning to Kael with her pack, she smiled and held it out to him. "If you hold it, I'll go down and transform."

The flight was uneventful and Aurum was glad to have it that way. She flew quietly, which meant quite a few powerful strokes followed by long periods of gliding. The dragoness seemed glad to have the birds join them, even making sure not to give them any trouble with their flight by waiting until they left to speed up once more. As she listened to directions, she gave a low grumble. She could hardly see anything below the treetops, her hopes were for nothing. Perhaps on the return trip she could visit the towns, but that did not stop her from feeling a little put out to not gain even a single treasure on her first flight into the humans' territory. When she finally landed, Aurum dipped low to the ground and allowed her human easier access to the surface. Aurum gave a huff through her nostrils, but shifted back into the glimmer he placed on her. The dragoness moved next to Kael and took her pack, though she was just a little warm to the touch.. okay, a little for her.
She wasn't mad, really. And she didn't feel sick or feverish, she was just a little impatient. The dragon wanted to get things done. She was already walking, though there was a little sway to her body that suggested she felt a little more weight than it looked like she was carrying. The pack could play the blame for that if questioned.. maybe. Aurum did, however, hold a hand behind her for Kael to grab, though it appeared through the long red locks and outstretched a little further than where he might reach.

Perhaps teasing the dragon and telling her what was or was not good for her could have been kept to a different time. The young woman frowned some and barely listened as he spoke more, but she did catch 'glimmer' and 'draconic body' as he talked. Aurum opened and closed her hand to signal even more impatience that he was already not caught up with her. A grin did crack on her face as he spoke of 'simple humans,' but was wiped away as he again seemed to tell her what was good for her. When he caught up and took her hand, she gave a little squeeze.. which only aided in her being tugged back to his sluggish pace. She gave a sigh, "I'm not helpless, you know," Said the dragon, glancing over to her human.
"In fact, I've got a lot more power than you think," Almost to emphasize this, she raised the hand that was not being held and flicked it forward wordlessly. As she did this, a rather large piece of earth moved beneath them and lifted them, catching each of their footsteps and then setting them down easily.. though a decent distance from where it had picked them up from. Magic with no incantation or even command word was no easy feat, something not very many in any of the three kingdoms could boast - but the dragoness did this with ease and on a whim. Aurum again looked to Kael, "I know I do not show it, but I did attend a few of the lessons I was given," Her chin tilted up a little bit - she was showing some of her royalty with her attitude, "And I do know a bit about knowing my limits."
With the town in view, the dragoness seemed to cool some. That was quick! If they didn't find a carriage she could simply travel the way she had just shown him. The magical lights were a little tacky to the woman, but oh well. They needed cheap light somehow, magic was aplenty- oh, wait. Aurum seemed to smile a bit.. the humans here didn't have as much magic as she did. Perhaps she could simply gain riches and treasures through petty magical spells. She was a little lost in planning now that she was approaching the town, although a little quicker paced now that it was in sight. As he suggested a pub or an inn, Aurum gave a nod, but as he joked about stealing a cart, the dragoness gave a grin. "You know, that's the first good idea I have heard since we landed," She was a mischievous little creature, despite her current disposition.
