Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lin sighed, "If you say so."

Though personally she thought Storm just needed to get out more, but she wasn't going to say that. She led the way once more, and as she headed towards the stables she pointed towards the back, "That's where the field is," she told them, "It's all the food for the horses for the winter and stuff. I don't know if anyone is back there this time of year."

"Maybe," Starr shrugged. "It looks like it might be harvest time here, like last fall back home when the people were taking down their crops and stuff."

"What's that?" Storm asked, pointing at a round pen between the barracks and the stables where a white-blond man was working with a horse.

Lin looked up ahead and smiled, she knew the person in the pen, even if she couldn't fully see his features from where she was, the fact he was in the pen working with a horse kind of was a give away.

"That would be the training pen, Amdir is working with a horse as usual, we can watch as long as we're not loud," she told the two, "Come on."

She was sure Amdir wouldn't mind after all.

Arwen grinned and pointed ahead. "Hey look!" she said brightly. "Lin's over there already with those two!"

She didn't know their names yet, but she knew they were some of her cousins too.

"Oh?" Ryu asked.

He couldn't imagine Shael being in a bad mood but then again it had been many years since the first time he had seen her and now that he thought about it she probably had grown up a lot.

Feng nodded with a smile as she led the little girl lead the way inside.

Adan nodded sadly, stroking Tao seemingly tirelessly. "She's been kinda grumpy since Uncle Adonai left," he murmured. "She didn't want him to go ... I could hear them yelling all the way out here."

Not that that meant much, with his elvish hearing and the fact that the window had been open, but still. It was the principle of the point. He had never heard anyone argue like that before.


Alyse closed the door behind Feng again, then padded softly across the floor, down the hall and towards the second door on the left. She tugged Feng inside quietly, putting a finger to her lips once more as they passed her parents' bedroom.

"Can you close the window?" she whispered once they were safely in her room. "And the shutters, okay?"



Amdir saw the kids approaching and waved briefly before continuing on with his training. He didn't recognize most of the children, but that just told him that, as ordered, Elnara and her family had come this time, too. Well, it looked as though it was going to be a very busy few weeks, then.

"A real baby?" Storm beamed. "That would be so cool! Aliya was the only real baby I ever saw before and that was a while ago, I think it would be really neat to see another baby!"

"I agree," Starr murmured softly. "Is there a way to know how much time has passed since your last visit?"

She waved back to Amdir who, she decided, was very friendly.


Shiro picked up his pace to keep up with Arwen, careful not to go too fast for Ura. "Lin!" he called out. "Storm! Starr!"

"No clue, at least not for your visit, maybe when Ulani comes you can ask her," Lin replied as she turned to the sound of Shiro's voice.

She smiled back at him, he was an interesting person to talk to and was just as curious as she was. Which was probably why she liked to simply talk to him.

"Shiro! Coming out to look around?"
