Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Well.... Feng was always the adventurous one, and Ryu is always there to rein her in," Kara smiled at that.

She could only imagine what Feng had told the older woman. Older? Yes, Kara was sure at this point Aliya was probably older than her. At least she would assume so.

When they finally reached the ranch, Amdir set Adwin on the ground, and the three children ran into the house to search out Ahren and Arwen.

"Come on, Lin!" Adan called brightly, beckoning for her to follow. "Come on, Miyu!"

Aliya and Amdir smiled at Kara and Donovan. "Well, come on in," Aliya invited them. "You're not expected, but you're never unwelcome."

"Coming," Donovan murmured.

He had no problems coming in, and it showed as he took Kara's hand as they entered the building. Though he had to admit it had been a while since the last time he was here. Not that long of course, but with the time passing he always had to get news from someone.

Aliya laughed softly as she followed them inside. "Not a whole lot," she grinned, "unless you count that the children have grown again. It's been two years again since you were here, so ..."

Yes, changes indeed.

Celebor laughed. "You're sure excitable, aren't you?" he grinned down at Arwen in amusement. "But that sure is neat. I suppose that's your magic then, isn't it? Your gift?"

He had learned a lot about it during his time in the Southland, though few down there had shown off like Arwen was doing.

"Oh yea.... Kara was helping her with her magic," Donovan murmured waving at Arwen.

He looked around to see who else was going to pop out of the wood work. At least it was just growing children, he wondered how big Shael was by now.

Adanedhel was already seated at one of the tables with the other children (all except for Arwen, who was out with the adults, and Ahren, who was out with Elrohir) and he was passing out the cookies that were sitting out on a plate.

"There's lots," he grinned at the others, "Hara-chan always makes lots, so you can have as many as you want, okay?"

The twins each had one in each hand, with bites out of both of them already.

Lin took a seat beside Adanedhel as she went for a cookie. She bite into it, and chewed thoughtfully as she sorted out the 'noise' that the butterflies made. At least the ones with her, which were on her arms and one crawling along her neck. She could only understand words, none of it made sense yet even though she had been keeping up with language lessons as best as she could. To her anyhow people were talking too fast, even though it only seemed like that.

Though there was some interesting chatting from Saki, she wondered if the cat had been chasing butterflies or something.


"That's good," Donovan murmured, "Then I can ask her when she gets here what needs to be done. Maybe I should get Celeborn first and tell him I'm here... or send one of the girls to do it since they're probably going to head to the barracks as soon as they can pry away."
