Welcome to Gaia! ::

Galdor led the boys to one bedroom, then led Lin to the next one over. "You're lucky you're the only girl on the trip," he chuckled. "You're the only one who gets a room all to yourself." He eyed Senka. "If you can call it that."

Galdor chuckled softly. "Well, make yourself comfortable," he smiled. "Sleep well, and we'll see you downstairs in the morning, yes?" And with a slight bow, he smiled at her and backed out of the room, closing the door behind himself.

When Lin got downstairs, Nadya and Gion were the only ones in the dining room. Gion was eating, but Nadya was clearing the table of used dishes.

"Good morning, Lin," she smiled warmly as Lin walked into the room. "Good morning, Senka. I hope you slept well. Are you ready for some breakfast?"

Gion also waved good morning to the two, smiling warmly as he ate his meal.

Nadya nodded and brought some clean dishes over to the table and set them in front of Lin, adding an extra bowl to the side for Senka. "Tinuviel and Aranel were the last to finish, I think they just took Regan outside," she smiled. "The nekos are shadowing Galdor, and I think Earendil just went off exploring on his own. Mother and Father are in the vineyard, it's picking season so that's actually where most of the people are ..."

Nadya laughed softly. "They were all awake quite early," she assured Lin, "and I'm sure you must have been quite exhausted after your travel. Just take your time and relax, there's no need to rush for anything."

She brought over some thin slices of meat for Senka, and brought some breakfast for Lin. "Eat all you like," she smiled warmly. "There's plenty left."

Gion rose from his seat suddenly and began to sign to Nadya. After a moment she smiled and leaned over to kiss him on the top of his head, and then he was on his way out the door.

Nadya kept clearing up the table as Lin ate her meal. "Well, to be fair," she pointed out, "the desert is much different than any other traveling you've done, I'm sure. The terrain is different, which makes riding a whole new experience, the heat induces sweating, which induces more saddle sores ... and the dryness would be unbearable for anyone, even those who are used to it."

She looked Lin over, her dark eyes thoughtful. "I'd say you did a marvelous job," she smiled. "At least you can move. I believe Ura returned to bed after breakfast, or for a soak in the tub."

Nadya smiled warmly. "Yes ... Lothiriel told me of your visit," she said warmly. "It was probably quite a while since you were there ... I don't suppose you heard that Amora is expecting her first child?" She tilted her head slightly. "Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself ... I'm sure you probably didn't know she was married."

She paused for a moment, her eyes sparkling brightly as she looked at Lin.

Nadya laughed softly and set the dishes in the washbasin. "How old was she when you were there?" she asked curiously, moving to sit with Lin instead of continuing with her work. "I thought it hadn't been that long ..."
