Ellandra gently held her infant daughter bundled against her as she relaxed on the couch, enjoying some time with just her and her baby girl. Faolan and Ziazan had taken Sam out earlier, and Rhian was off visiting Lauss yet again. so it was just the brunette and the younger twin inhabiting the vardo for tonight. She hummed softly, sometimes breaking the soothing sound to talk to her little baby. "Beautiful little one, you're so perfect. . .. Mama loved you so much, baby, you'll get better soon, I promise. . ."

Rory had gotten off work early that day and was on his way to see Lee, but wanted to drop off a present with the Gradys first. He knocked gently on the door. "Anyone home?"

Ellandra looked up at the knock on the door. Since Bel was awake, she didn't have a problem with calling out an easily-heard "Come in, to whomever was at the door. Bel wriggled a little, curious as to that thunking sound and sensing the change in her mother's voice from the tone she spoke to her in.

Ellandra shook her head, smiling at Rory. "Oh, no, do come in. Bel and I could use the company," she said gently, stroking Bel's feathery hair as she spoke.

The boy just smiled sheepishly, blushing as he walked in. "I wis on me way t' see me girl an' wanted t' drop off a present fae th' bairns." He loitered by the door, not sure what to do really without Faolan there.

Ellandra smiled at Rory, her eyes still radiating gentleness as she stood up and moved to the rocking chair with Bel, motioning to the couch with one hand. "You can sit down, Rory, I don't bite." She paused and her eyes took on a mischevious twinkle. "Faolan hasn't been spreading tales about me, has he? I don't turn people into toads, I swear." Tilting her head, she blinked at Rory. "A present, hm? Well, Sam isn't here to receive it, but I'm sure Bel would appreciate a gift, wouldn't you, little one?" The baby just blinked.

"Faolan took th' other one somewhere?" Rory asked, walking in and sitting down, looking rather nervous. "He ain't been tellin' stories on you. It's just . . . well, you're a married woman an' I got Lee an' it ain't really proper fae me t' be here wi'out your husband here." He fished out a small wooden box that was delicately carved with knots all around the sides and two little rabbits on the top. "Here, though. I thought you might like a music box t' help th' bairns sleep at night."

Ellandra gasped a little at the sight of the box, her face lighting up and flowers snaking through her hair. "Oh, that's beautiful!" She smiled a little, her bright grey eyes sparkling warmly. "Here, I know we won't do anything, and I know you and Lee are together, so do show me more clearly?" Her smile dimmed a little and she tilted her head. "Besides, I'd like to make sure you and Lee are both doing all right."

Rory moved over to sit at her feet, holding the box up for her to see. "I wasnae sure what sort o' animals th' weans liked yet, so I just carved rabbits. I hope tha's alright." He opened up and a soft tune began playing, a traditional didikai lullaby. He looked a little puzzled, though. "What d'you mean makin' sure me an' Lee are okay?"

Ellandra looked down as Bel blinked, the infant trying to look around and find the source of the noise. "I think Bel likes it, and rabbits are lovely animals, so that's completely fine." She paused for a moment, tilting her head before adding, "And as I've appointed myself Lee's older sister-of-sorts - after all, we can't rely on her parents to look out for her after all - I need to make sure both you and her are doing all right."
She rocked Bel a little, never once taking her eyes off of the infant as she said, "I just want to make sure that nothing bad has come up, that things are working out - how far things have come, that sort of thing."

"Everythin's fine, Elle. She has this friend tha' wis crushin' on me kinda hard, but she chased th' girl off," Rory answered, shrugging. She met me parents an' tha' went really well." He decided for now not to tell Ellandra what else had gone on, not feeling that Lee would want that broadcasted all over the camps.

Ellandra nodded softly. "That's good - and fought? Truly? My goodness, that must have been an interesting sight. . ." She paused for a moment. "Is there anything you need, Rory? I'd be glad to help you with anything, though I know we don't really know each other. . ." She wasn't sure why she added that, but it felt right somehow, to reassure this young man that he had her help, should he ask for it.

"Well, I guess I know very little about datin' an outsider girl. You an' Fao make it look kinda easy. I worry sometimes tha' all this ain't gonna be enough fae her an', e'en though she loves me an' I love her, she'll leave t' gae back t' bein' wealthy and powerful," Rory said, scratching idly at his arm. "Her parents seemed t' think I'd ne'er gi' her a good enough life an' sometimes I think maybe they're right. I got nothin' really t' offer a girl like her other than me heart."
