Welcome to Gaia! ::

Earendil chuckled as Andarien took the next bite more eagerly than the first.

"To be fair, he's never really had variety before," he pointed out. "But from what I understand, it's one of the best things he could have, even if we weren't traveling."

He took bites of his own food between feeding Andarien bites of the mead-soaked bread.

"Well, we'll manage, however it goes," Earendil assured her. "We seem to have a knack for getting through whatever situation comes our way."

He grinned at her. Even when he'd been thrown in prison, and she'd come after him, they'd gotten through it. Through their ship being redirected by persons unknown - commandeered, really - through Lin fledging, through the problems with his father, the threat of the morgawr ... they'd been through a lot, and gotten through all of it none the worse for wear.

"Which part?" Earendil laughed. "Finding a blind woman in the middle of a swamp, who it turns out was left here for dead by the very slavers that it was your father's project to wipe out? Or that I was attacked by her falcon and then healed by her? Or that Andarien grew in the middle of all that?"

Well, when he put it that way, what part of it wasn't epic?

"No complaints from me," Earendil grinned. "With all the time I spent doing nothing, waiting for you to be old enough to travel, I think I'm about ready for a life of epicness."

Soon enough breakfast was over, and Earendil stretched again. "Well, I guess it's time to find out what we're going to be doing today," he commented.

Earendil saw Miyuki out of the corner of his eye, and he turned to look at her. "Miyuki," he called to her, arching one eyebrow.

"Ki!" Andarien beamed, clapping his hands at his sister and giggling.

Earendil looked over at Lin. "Why don't you find out what the plans are, and I'll work with Miyuki before she disappears on us?" he asked her. "That way we at least get something in before we're traveling again."

"All right," Earendil agreed, leaning over to give Lin a kiss before she left. "Let me know what's going on once you find out, all right?"

Andarien latched onto Lin's clothes and looked around, his eyes wide as he took everything in. There was so much more to see now that he was bigger (at least it seemed that way) and it was all so fascinating!

Earendil smiled at Miyuki and got to his feet, holding one hand out to her. "The same as usual," he told her. "Remember, until you choose a weapon of your own, it's going to be bladework."

He motioned towards the tent, where their things were. They would have to get her blade before she could practice with it.

Halmir was helping Arthael to clean up breakfast, while River was teaching Amalirahc how to shoot a bow on the far side of the camp, far away from anyone else. Daeron had gone off to do a bit of training of his own. Elros was sitting with Shiloh, while Alena was talking with Shiro about something, with Kaito nearby. Aethos, Luk and Emile were all talking with Alassëa, who was participating in the conversation far more actively than she had the day before.
