Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryu nearly fell over, no matter how much time has passed Aliya was still Aliya. Obviously speaking.

"It is good to see you too, we just got here and as usual we left in the morning, don't worry," he laughed.

Naida leaned over and tried to give Aliya her leaf bouquet, "Here!"

"Won't they get worried though?" Ryu pointed out to the little boy.

Poor Adan and Rose... Adan he knew had been kidnapped when he was little and Rose tended from what he understood nervous often enough.

"You really should have told them where you were going."

"But I don't tell you where I'm going," Naida pointed out.

"Yes, but there's only so many places a mergirl could go."

Feng giggled at that, "And I thought Naida can be a handful."

At least Naida couldn't go very far, and no where off the clan grounds for that matter.

"I take it this happens often?"

Aliya laughed. "He seems determined to scare his mother to death. She used to check here every time, but this is the first time in a long time that he's actually ended up here. No one ever knows where he ends up, he wanders home on his own usually."

Alyse hefted her nephew on her back and grinned at Feng and Ryu. "You should come and see her too," she invited them. "I'm sure she would be happy to see you again."

Lin of course took a trip down the wall, it wasn't that hard since really the family was the last door at the end of the hallway, being part of the extension made to the barracks and all.

Once there, she knocked swiftly waiting for someone to open, unless the whole family was out on a shift of course.

Donovan didn't have to knock, since it was the Ranch house, he simply entered the home. It felt odd not having Kara there, he wished she was even though really knew it probably wasn't a good idea.

"Hello?"

Feng laughed at that, wondering if that was what Cindy was normally called, "Cindy first, since I'm guessing she's on the way?"

She couldn't quite remember now where the other house was since she and Ryu never really visited there. Not to mention it had been a while.

Miyu had been completely caught off guard, she had been sure she would have gotten to spend one last visit with Aragost, but it seemed someone else had taken his room. She lurched back suddenly her back hitting the door behind her. It took a lot of will power not go mi-ing down the hall.

"S-sorry, wrong door..." she blinked once, then twice.

Then finally she gave in and dashed back down the hallway, fortunately not mi-ing as she went.

Alyse giggled and nodded. "Rose and Adanedhel live just beyond them," she told Feng, "so who knows? Maybe Rose will even see us and join us there."

Besides, it was such a nice morning, Cindy and Rhea were probably having their lesson outside - when they had real lessons anymore. Rhea was very nearly grown up already, and her mastery of her magic was very good now. Often enough, their lessons were little more than Cindy making sure Rhea was doing her exercises and practicing her control.



The woman blinked after Miyu, somewhat surprised for the first time in a long time. "Wait!" she called after her, one hand outstretched as if reaching for her.

The door across the hall opened (Elros's old room) and a tall, pale-haired and pale-robed man stepped out. "That was the skittish one, wasn't it?" he asked with an amused grin. "Aragost did warn you that would happen."



Haradhel laughed, but there was a bit of sadness to her laugh. "Well ... when you get back home, give her our regards," she smiled faintly. "We're going to miss her here. But welcome. Are you planning on going on another hunt?"



Timaeus laughed at the look on Lin's face. "Come on, Lin, I'm nearly twenty five years old. You can't expect me to live with my parents forever."

Then he stepped aside and motioned for her to come in. "You're welcome to look around," he invited her. "It's not much, I guess, but it's home and it's comfortable for me."
