Lore followed close behind, he hoped they wouldn't get snowed in, from the looks of it, it could be very close to winter. He held Hana close as he hurried with Elnara to Haven.

"Well we're off to see Aliya," Feng waved.
The mers didn't have cloaks but they weren't as affected by the cold, they could dive deep which was usually cold. Though Naida looked a bit sleepy out in the cold. She clung to her mother as the mers went off in their own direction.
Toshiro wore black and had a leather coat on, he was perfectly fine without a cloak. Though he was probably going to need something for his wings if he stayed out long enough. He followed, not wanting to stay out.
Kara paused long enough to wrap Hope and Faith up in blankets before continuing, it wouldn't do any good for the children to catch a cold and they weren't as tough as all her previous children.
Donovan, sighed a bit, from the look of the snow the chances of a hunt was slim. If they were nearing winter it would be a bad thing to go out now.
Meanwhile all the way in Haven, Miyu was still running. Miraculously she wasn't mi-ing as she doing so. She rushed into the barracks bringing in the cold air. Not that she noticed she was a child of the cold.
"Mi....." Miyu murmured breaking her no mi-ing spree, as she made her way up the stairs.

Aragost was in his room, as usual, but this time the door was wide open as well as the windows. He was sitting next to the window, and his hood was down, basking in the sunshine that fell on his face. His expression was peaceful; but suddenly he started, and his head turned towards the door. He had heard something ...
"Miyu?" he rasped, pulling his cowl up to hide his face again. He rose to his feet and started towards the door.

Miyu stopped short of the door it had been tempted to just yank it open and go in but her manners reminded her that wasn't a proper thing to do. Though she would rather be anywhere than near....
She knew it was bad, she knew it was quite a while ago (well not overly so considering her age) but still! She knew, but she was terrified of Corrah, and she would find no help in Armus who obviously would agree with him, and Lin was traveling so she wasn't around.
Though she had to remind herself of Toshiro, but Toshiro.... he was so small compared to Corrah even if he wasn't scared.

"Miyu ..." Aragost moved to the open doorway and held out one hand to the girl he couldn't see. "Come inside ... you're frightened ..." As raspy as his voice was, it was also filled with concern. He was beginning to sense what was going on, what had happened, but the details were still coming to him, not quite there yet ...

She skittered right on in and clung to his hand... and arm, which was attached to his hand. It was probably the most extreme fear she had in a while, but to be fair it hadn't been that long to Miyu since she was a child. It didn't matter she probably had a job to do, she did not want to leave.
If Toshiro knew how much Miyu was afraid he would probably be bashing his head against the nearest wall. Being connected to Miyu, he knew exactly how strong Miyu's magic was. Honestly she had nothing to be afraid of, technically speaking.

Aragost wrapped his free arm around Miyu and held her close, gently rubbing her back and trying to console her. For several moments he said nothing, until at last he understood what was going on.
"The dark one is here," he murmured softly, "isn't he?" He held Miyu close. "Do not fear him ... he will not hurt you, or anyone else."

Miyu nodded at this nervously her head bobbing up and down. She couldn't help it, really she couldn't.
"Mi.... scary...."

Aragost nodded and kept hugging Miyu. "I know," he murmured softly. "I know." He prodded her into his room and motioned for her to take a seat. "Can you tell me what he's doing here? Why did he come?"
He knew the answers, of course, but it generally helped to talk about problems. And the more Miyu told him her concerns, the more he could work with to make her feel better.

Miyu all but flopped onto his bed, she tried not to fidget, it wasn't like she had anywhere else to go that she would feel safe. It wasn't like she even knew the other fighters well... well maybe except the ones that her Auntie knew.
"He said something about being useful," Miyu sat on her hands to keep from playing with them, "But Idhril invited them....."
That was probably the first problem, Idhril had invited them without asking how everyone else felt. Not that it would help she thought glumly, Idhril said that if they were nice to them, they would be nice. She sort of made it sound to Miyu like it was their fault for that terrible first impression.

Aragost nodded and sat carefully next to Miyu. "Would you like me to talk to them?" he asked her softly. "Perhaps with you there as well? If you would like ... I can do so ... and make sure that they will not hurt or bother anyone ..."
It was all he could do without outright threatening them, but he didn't think that would be necessary. They were changing their entire lives by coming here, to a world they didn't know, and if that didn't say anything than nothing would.

"I don't think Idhril would like that...." Miyu murmured.
She wigged as she really just wanted to fiddle with her fingers. Deep down Miyu knew she shouldn't be so scared but it was really hard not to be! It was one of those times she wished she was braver.

Aragost frowned. "What Idhril would like or not is not what matters here," he said, a little harshly. "What I am concerned with is your well-being. Idhril does not visit here, you do, and I would be very lonely if you stopped your visits because of this other man who will be living here."
He turned his head slightly. "He is arriving. Come, let us go speak with him." He rose to his feet and held one hand out to Miyu.

Miyu wouldn't have ever thought of stop visiting, sure she would probably run all the way to his room but... she nodded at this and took his hand timidly rising to her feet.
"Okay... mi...."
Toshiro didn't see Miyu anywhere in sight, he was beginning to wonder how much time really did past in only the span of a second or two. Of course he also knew she could skitter really, really fast when she wanted to.
"Here we are," Donovan broke Toshiro's musings, "This is Haven."
He was saying this more for the two newcomers if they were going to be living here and working here he was going to have to treat them like anyone else. Even if he didn't like it, as he reminded himself there are a lot of things in life he didn't like, but he sucked it up and did them anyways.

Corrah and Armus looked around. It was impossible to see Corrah's face, hidden in his cowl, but Armus's eyes were filled with wonder as she looked around at the many buildings and elves that were wandering around.
"Thank you," Corrah's voice came from deep within his cowl, soft and low.
Elnara shifted Garrick in her arms and nodded towards the ranch house. "Perhaps we should head inside?" she suggested. "The children need to be better dressed."
