Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Boys are not fun." Taking Kaelin's hand and starting off, leading and yet letting someone guide as well. "The Solarium, mama hasn't been able to take me out there." It was such a nice place. The picture in her head told her it was pretty and it was full of things that felt and smelled nice. "Does being married mean you need your own house? What if no one can visit anyone?"

"But they don't live by themselves. There's lots of people here." Sure, they were the staff but most of them stayed in the house and that to her constituted as them living there. "If he's not married, he shouldn't have a house." This was confusing on some levels. "Do you get a house when you grow up?" Probably meant that. Letting Kaelin go, she plopped down on her knees in the grass, running her fingers through it. "And you won't move them around?" Mama and daddy were still yelling at people for moving things around.

She started feeling out individual blades of grass as she was listening to Kaelin trying to explain things and well it didn't really clear anything up. She supposed having your own house was just like everything else that had to do with being older; it came in time eventually. Eventually she picked a single blade of glass. "Yinn is leaving too? But who is going to scratch his wings?" Tugging at Kaelin to make sure she was paying attention then. "Watch, Dhairiss taught me." Placing the blade between her thumbs and bringing it to her mouth she blew into her thumbs and the piece of grass, producing a whistle. "Isn't it neat?"

"Your hands are too big to get in the little spots that he likes. That's why I'm the best at it." And no one could convince her otherwise of that. "Are you going to be far away?" Far away meant lots of traveling and she wasn't too keen on traveling at all. But she studied her piece of grass, really for no reason, as she thought about things when the couple were gone. "Oh!" Shifting her position so that she was sitting on her behind and her legs were out before her, pointing to draithix chewed boot laces. "I can tie my boots again like I used to!" Never knew how hard it was to tie your boots until you couldn't see yourself doing it.

Malik's ears perked a little and nodded to his wife.

"Indeed that's true. but there's not a whole lot we can do without knowing more. I wouldn't want to go thre looking to destroying these devices only to find destroying them does the same effect as your siblings using them would."

but patting his wife on the thigh.

"Give me a few moments. I need to check on something downstairs for our daughter."

Before getting up and going downstairs.

"Progress?"

"Some. any fatal injury causes the draithix to explode in a ashen cloud and reform..so permenance is there. but the use..draithix use thier ears and nose more then thier eyes. keeping the eyes sight transfesrance doesn't work well as the draithiz wants to use it's other senses more. you'll need something that uses it's eyesight primarily."

Malik frowned some.

"Like a bird...a hunting bird at that. But that gives some added advantages as well. the bird can fly and scout father ahead..can see much father then most other animals can anyway."

Malik nodded.

"It's finding a bird of prey that is a problem. but we can use the draithix for now to train my daughter on this new ability. she'll have to be taught basic necromancy for it and you'll be in charge of that as well."

"I'm so proud of you for trying again until you finally got it. I knew you could." Heaping on the praise because Savryn really did need it. She fought tooth and nail for praise from her father and it was rare that it ever came. Her mother gave it to her without fail and Kaelin just loved seeing the little girl blossom under it. "Its hard to do things like that when it's really busy. We'll try again later, okay?" Thus standing and tapping the child on the shoulder. "Do you want to sit under the big tree with me while I tell you a story?"

"Did she?" Kaelin wondered how Malikhai would feel knowing his old friend wasn't here right now to welcome him back home. Then again, she'd given them both a hug and had whispered something to Khai right before they'd walked through the gate. She still wondered what that was... "A princess. I learned a new story while I was in Andal. One I think you'll like a lot." Taking the child's hand, she walked with her to the tree, avoiding the small pond completely and settled down with her in her lap. "Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess...." And so the story went with Kaelin making noises and tickling the child at random points as she regaled her with a story about a dragon, the princess, and a high tower that couldn't be climbed except with a special kind of magic.
