She opens her mouth as if to speak, to divulge some great truth from her weary and throbbing heart, but her lips close as she finds the words will not come. Nothing in any language would fully describe what she wanted to say in this moment, even if the gods handed her them enscribed on a tablet they would seem empty. Her arms full of the love of her life, whom she tucks up close to her as if she's afraid Lenore will break into a thousand pieces if she lets her fall, she feels her dry lips partially curve up in a touch of a grateful smile. She nods, hefting her welcome load as gently as possibly as she starts forward and through the throng. Her original intent had been to transport herself and Lenore through her element to another part of the forest entirely, but to look into the eyes of those gathered here reminded her that to see such a thing would be disheartening to them, especially their son.
Their son... Her shoulders shake as she passes by Nyoka, Damien, and Aylana. Her fingers twitch as she resists the urge to reach out towards her daughter, her son, and her neice. To touch them, and see if they are in any way as she remembers. Gods, that was a quiver in Damien's voice, wasn't it? Aye, that is their son, hiding his pain to the last. Nyoka, the hurt in her eyes... What would she do when Shina came back? Would all be understood? Aylana, how she had changed so in the last months. Had it been nearly a year? She senses a kinship towards the angelic Fa'e, even stronger than before, yet this time on an elemental level. She shakes it off, giving each that can see her face a final look that promises her swift return and answers before she continues walking.
She has to resist yet again as she comes near Krista and the elven gentleman who is comforting her, wanting to reach out for the woman she calls sister and reassure her that she's really here, and doesn't wish to leave. She settles for a slightly wider smile, praying that it is as comforting as she is aiming, and returning Rinon's nod gratefully. She softens the smile as she comes near Ernia and Virenda, extending such to Tinania, recognizing the brooch that she made for Tinania when she was very young indeed. So many questions...
Still she moves on, till she reaches the edge of the tent. She turns, facing everyone for several seconds that seem to crawl by. Should Lenore not receive her words well, this would be her last time seeing this side of those she calls family... for a long time, if ever. She tries not to think on that as she steps back and out of the holiday lights, feeling the reassuring cool of the darkness covering her and her cold burden, her imagining the small grove with the tree that she had been trapped by for so long and feeling her legs start to move to take them there. In the Plane of Shadow, all is murky and hazed, but instinct and practice guides her to the proper path. She slips out of the cloying wisps and makes her way to a recently shattered tree stump, the bark now dark as ebony as the moonlight shines down in the center of the grove. She shifts Lenore so her increasingly heavy body is seated on Eirnae's lap, her caressing her unconcious lover's cheek as she positions Lenore's mouth at the base of her throat, her hand then going to the bright green locks that caught her attention earlier in the evening to stroke at them lovingly.
"Wake up, melamin," she murmurs into Lenore's right ear, daring the barest of nibbles along the edge, "We have much to talk about, you and I."
~~~~~~~~~~
"Daddy Lucius missed Itzel?" the little Zephirae purrs as she nuzzles into his cheek rub affectionately. "Daddy Alimus said when come back, make home again!" she announces with pride, apparently quite pleased with her newfound 'mastery' of the human language. "You make home, Daddy Lucius? Daddy Alimus say not home without."
Latria isn't quite ready to lapse into conversation, skittering around the two nuzzlers like a kitten trying to evoke a stuffed mouse to chase it. She does pause at the scritch behind her ears, leaning in and purring her delight, but soon she's at her circling again.
Off to the side, a large yet sleek furred leg slides with little sound from between two bushes, the fur on that limb rippling like water, as if unsure of what pattern or shape it truly wishes to hold. After a few moments, it is joined by another, yet the head that comes out and over the crest of the bushes is that of an elven man. His eyes are fathomless with their black depths, eerily alien to many, but a familiar comfort to those who know of the warm heart within the mottled dark grey cage of flesh wrapped over it protectively. Alimus's paws shift to become the hands that he oft takes while in his favorite of elven forms, though he stalks from the bushes on all fours anyway, curling his legs underneath him as he moves to sit down by the motley crew. "She's right in that," he rumbles, his voice soft and husky as he looks down at the tender scene of his cub... no, their cub... reciting his own statements to Lucius with a half smile. "It won't be home without you."

Krista watches as her sisters disappears then turns her face back into Rinon's chest. She couldn't shake the feeling that she had seen a ghost. Yet she knew it was much real. She laughs alittle then wipes the tears from her eyes as she looks up at Rinon "That indeed would have been the best christmas gift for this family..." she then pauses looking around. Her sky blue eyes searching for her twin, it was only when she found the mistletoe that was in Mel's hair she figured it out. She frowns shaking her head as she covered her mouth. Bending down she picks up the mistletoe then turns to Rinon "Mel..." her face show sadness and anger at herself for not remembering.
Virendra nods then turns back to her sister and bestfriend signing "Come on this is a party. I don't think Aunt Eirnae would want us all sad let go play out in the snow..." she laughs pulling on Ernia's hand. Drac and Diana giggle racing out the tent. Virendra laughs shakign her head before laying her head on Ernia's shoulder. She was determind to have a good time because she knew that was what her Aunt would want.
Michelle squeels when she finds a gift under the tree for her. She was trying her hardest to pull it out. She yelps as she falls backwards knocking into the pae'il in the process. They all laughed as they batted at eachother trying to get up.
Tinania smiles up at Surion letting him knwo she was okay without words until she heard Damien's voice. She turned looking at him her face full of concern, she had never seen or heard him act like this. Lookign up at Surion she kisses him lightly before stepping away to walk over to Damien.
Biting his bottom lip she touches his shoulder "Damien..." she didn't knows what to do so rather say anything she just wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and hugged him hoping to comfort him. As much as they were fighting even she couldn't help but not like when he got upset.

Rinon frowns a little. In his worry over his own half-sister, and Krista, he hadn't remembered Melantha, either. He cups Krista's face in his hands and makes her look up at him. "Do not blame youself for any of this, Krista," he says, softly. "Everyone was shocked. No one was thinking about anything other than Eirnae. . . . Now," he pauses a moment, taking a stab at a small smile, though it doesn't really have any happiness in it. "Do you want to go look for her? Melantha might need some friends with her."
Ernia actually smiles a little, and allows herself to be pulled from the tent. I am afriad there will be no playing in the snow for me, she signs, pausing for a moment to run her hands over her gown. I couldn't possibly ruin this gown. . . .
Nyoka glances at Tinania when she comes over to them. She loosens her hold on Damien a bit, hoping that the both of them could work to get Damien back to at least some semblence of normalcy. She reaches out one of her hands, seeking Aylana's. It is all the comfort she can provide for her sister right now, with Damien in her arms.
Initially, Damien jerks at Nani's voice, and her touch. But, he relaxes again, and wills the tears to stop. When he is sure he can face everyone, he pulls away from both women, hastily straightening his clothes, and wiping away the tear-trails on his scaled cheeks. He moves his red-rimmed eyes between Nyoka and Nani, twice, before looking away from both of them. "Thanks," is all he can say, still unable to meet either of their eyes.
~*~*~***~*~*~
Deep in the Emerald Forest, Lenore stirs. She mumbles something that sounds suspiciously like, "Ihavethesuddencravingforpapayas," before her body jerks her awake.
She opens her amber eyes and sees nothing but dark blonde hair. Her eyes tear up again, as she ignores the scent of fresh, warm blood beneath the skin of the woman holding her.
Gently, she pulls her head back, and searches for the familiar sea-green of Eirnae's eyes. When she sees them, she reaches her hands up to tentatively touch her cheek.
When she realizes that she is not dreaming, she lets out a strangled sob, and clings to Eirnae, her tail snaking to wrap around Eirnae's leg.
"You're really here?" she whispers, her hands fisting around Eirnae's jacket. She breathes in her scent again, staying silent for a long while more, before asking, "Where have you been?"
~*~*~***~*~*~
Lucius's smile widens when he sees Alimus again. Unlike his mistress, Lenore, though, he does not become teary eyed. Try as they might, he will not allow the tears to come to his eyes just yet.
Rather than answer Alimus directly, however, he looks down in Itzel's eyes, and winks a little. "Yes, Itzel," he says. "I will help make our home again."
His blue eyes move to meet Alimus's black ones again, the wide grin never leaving his lips. He tilts his head to the side, and then holds out his hand for him, quirking his eyebrow at Alimus as though asking, When are you going to get over here and hug me, you scaredy-cat?

Surion lets Nani go just standing quietly, he doesn't know what to make of everything that just happened but it was obvious what she was attempting and he didn't feel right to get in the way.
Ala sighs and walks over to her friend looking at Krista she offers a soft smile "It looks like the family is complete once more" she says as her wings unfurl to near their fullest and then fold in upon themselves sliding into her back "You are blessed" she says softly and then turns walking to the side of the tent looking out and up at the sky, it was nearing a year since she first met her sister and nearing a year since she got married...
Aylana take Nyoka's hand giving it an understanding squeeze, she blinks back the tears wiping her eyes with her free hand Are you okay Nyoka? she asks her within her mind.

She has to repress the sudden bubbling of nervous laughter from deep inside at the memory that Lenore's half awake and hurried mumbling brings to the forefront of her thoughts. The image of Lenore laying down on the Haven's couch, round with their unborn son, as she fed her sliced papayas with a pleased grin. She can almost feel the whoosh against her legs of Vinyn as she flies around the couch and away from the pursuing Shina's arms.
She has to blink away the events from behind her eyes so she can focus down into Lenore's golden amber pools, her head tilting to press her cheek into Lenore's timid fingers. Her arms go around Lenore as her fiance' clings to her, her face burying itself in the scent and feel of Lenore's hair once more. She smiles at the feel of the tail she had only just gotten used to before she fell into the blackness of unconciousness.
"I'm here," she whispers back to Lenore's hushed inquiry, not willing to give up her soft haven of green hair to allow Lenore to see her lips as they move. She waits for the inevitable question, afraid of how her answer will change their future.. if they still had one. When it comes, she finds herself speaking without thinking first, her heart doing the talking. "I was here, with you and our family, in the only way that I could be. Whomever caused this took everything else."
She takes in a shaky breath before letting it out again slowly, puffing up Lenore's hair as she rethinks what she should say. The whole truth would be a bit much, at least when spilled out in but a few sentences. "The last thing I could do was try to... try to protect my little ones. It was all that I could think of, when the fire came down." Her eyes close as she pushes out the memory of the overwhelming heat as it surged towards them. "I reached for Shina, but Vinyn was just out of my reach. Itzel was with Alimus, and he had already twisted around to put himself between it and her. It was all so fast. None of us had time to run." Her hand starts to stroke at Lenore's shoulder, trembling slightly as she holds in a further outpouring of the event. She didn't want to overwhelm her love even more.
~~~~~~~~~~
Alimus's eyes are not well known for conveying what he's thinking, but their current intensity belies his coiled muscles as he catches Lucius' look. In response he leans down, his hands coming down to touch the earth to either side of Lucius' head, his legs remaining as is as his upper body bends to lower his now smirking lips a scant few inches above Lucius' own. "Latria," he rumbles to the frisking Sentinel, "Would you take Itzel to the cottage? I'm sure it's still there. We'll be along shortly."
Latria snickers in her own fashion as she darts forward to grip Itzel's ruff with her mouth, plucking the half grown Zephirae off of Lucius' chest like an egg from a nest and carrying her off at a rapid trot. Itzel isn't one to be carried in such an indignant fashion, however, and is swift to swing about and land on Latria's back, laying down so she nearly covers the Sentinel's length as they ride on towards the cottage Itzel remembers as home.
"Now..." Alimus whispers as he shifts the palms of his hands to tuck his fingers underneath of Lucius' shoulders, his head lowering another two inches to barely brush his lips against those of Lucius. "Where were we?"

Krista bites her bottom lip then shakes her head "No Rinon I don't. If I know Mel, we won't find her until she is ready to be found." she lays her head against Rinon'c chest, she bite her bottom lip hard. This was getting way to hard and she was ready to give up this plan. With a deep breath she holds the mistletoe close to herself then shakes her head smiling alittle "Come on no more tears from me. Were suppose to be having fun right?" she turns looking at Ala then with a soft smile she watches her friend walk off. She leans against Rinon keeping quiet as she watches everyone. How in one night everything she knew was about to change she didn't know.
Virendra laughs then squeezes Ernia's hand as she signs with the other "Its fine we'll watch them play. We can just enjoy the snow." she turns as she watches Drac and Diana throwing snow at eachother. Ren looks back to her best friend then nudges her smirking.
Tinania smiles alittle then nods looking down as she pushed her hair back "Not a problem Mein. I'll always be here for you, even if bad things happen." looking back up she gives his arm a squeeze before turning and walking back to Surion. She wraps her arms around his waist still very confused about everything that had just happened. She hugs Surion closer looking up at him smiling alittle.
Michelle shakes her head then looks at the pae "Comos, Kaelin could you help me please?" Both the pae looekd at her and with a shrugs then try to help her pull the gift out. But once again it was too heavy and they all end up falling backwards. They all started giggling once again. Anila just sitting there watching them for once just acting innocent.

Rinon only nods in reply. He then smiles a little, and grabs one of Krista's hands, before placing her other hand on his waist. His free hand moves to the small of her back, and he twirls her, beginning to dance. Even though the music is low, and really not made for this type of dancing, the music is in his head.
Besides, he only has a few more, precious moments with his new wife. He wants to make them the best that he can.
He glances over at Ala, wondering why she is off on her own. . . .
Ernia grins, although it looks a little evil. Watch this, she signs, before rushing off to get her scepter from the pack her mum carried to the tent earlier.
When she returns, she closes her eyes, and opens her arms. She lifts her scepter in the air, and mumbles some words in an ancient tongue she is only now reacquainting herself with.
The moon clouds over, and the wind picks up, tearing at her skirt and making it flap behind her, her left leg completely exposed now. Her wings open, and her feathers ruffle as her hair is pulled back by the cold wind.
When she opens her eyes, the snow is falling heavier, large, obviously enchanted, beautifully-shaped snow flakes start to fall around them.
She goes and puts her scpeter away again before returning to Ren. She then signs, I have been wanting to show off for a while now, giggling a little. Her amber, decievingly-innocent, amber eyes twinkling with delight as she folds her large wings again.
Damien nods to Nani, before he walks back over to the table that, only a few moments ago, he and Lucius were sitting at, plotting. He picks up the over-turned chair, and sits slowly into it. He then stares down at the glass of water in front of him, his long fingers tracing the rim.
Nyoka watches him leave, before returning her attention to Aylana. "I'm fine," she replies, speaking. Though, she can't help but feel a little angry over how her family has been upheaved. Things were returning to normal, her mum was smiling again. . . .
She shakes her head, clearing it of those thoughts. Eirnae made Lenore happy, too. Her second mum was, is, she corrects, the love of her mum's life. After the intial shockwaves have died, and things are explained, she is sure things will go back to normal. . . .
"I'm fine," she repeats, nodding firmly. She turns to her sister, and manages a smile at her.
~*~*~***~*~*~
Lenore pulls away, gently, again, and studies Eirnae. "I don't understand," she says, slowly, softly. "Fire? And, how were you with us?" her tail tightens around Eirnae, and she searches for her hands with her own scaled ones.
She can't tear her eyes away from the sea-green. She is transported to times before she disappeared. The chasing each other, the jokes, their overwhelming love for each other.
She wants to pick up where she left off. . . .
But . . . Melantha. For the first time since Eirnae reappeared, she thinks about Krista's twin. She puts her out of her mind, for now. Right now, all she can focus on is Eirnae's explination.
~*~*~***~*~*~
Lucius looks to make sure that Itzel is out of sight. Once he is, he doesn't even say anything. He pounces Alimus, throwing his arms around the other, kissing him properly.

Torvil gets up and walks across the tent past Krista and Rinon wrapping his arms around Ala from behind and kisses her neck "You ok Love?" he asks
Ala smiles turning her head to look at him and holds his hands around her "Yeah just thinking about when Kal first showed up, besides you and the kids, she's the only blood-line family I have left" she glances over at Damien her eyes turning green, if Damien was watching his water close enough he'd see 'it's ok, I know how you feel' coming across the surface of it
Surion smiles softly and holds Nani close humming softly the tune he'd learned from his father the day he got un-grounded as he runs his fingers through her hair
Aylana nods and smiles "Seems we are in for some change once more in the family... Although likely a good change in the long run" She couldn't help but feel confussion and hoped her aunt did return soon so they could know what happened

Her hands aren't hard to find, as she shifts them to meet Lenore's questing fingers and weave them together with hers as she sits back to better appreciate Lenore's features, even if they are darkened with confusion.
"I cannot say exactly why it happened, Lenore. Even now I wonder who I made so angry that they would attack us while we were walking those months ago. I'd describe how large the fire was, but at the time it appeared like an entire sun bearing down on us from my perspective. It must have been magical in nature, there is no other logical explaination."
She pauses to lean forward and kiss the tip of Lenore's nose before she leans her head down to murmur close to Lenore's lips, "My body was immobile, locked away in a slumber I couldn't fully understand, even now. But I couldn't stay away from you, mela. From our children." Her voice becomes even more hushed as she adds, "I was here, in this very tree. I wouldn't let the woman who changed you harm our own. She struggled, but by my goddess' lending of her strength, she couldn't escape."
~~~~~~~~~~
Surprised, Alimus' lips part slightly just as the kiss begins. Suddenly he's glad that Itzel was on Lucius' belly earlier and prevented him from being there himself. How odd to feel his body flush again, the natural lack of warmth that he's had for his long existance as Shadowkin being abolished by the heat of slowly becoming more alive as Eirnae's Bonded. But this... this warmth was something different. He felt it once for Eirnae, in the days when he was convinced that she belonged with him in all ways. Lucius brings those same feelings rushing forward, but in a confused jumble of lusty need and possessiveness. He growls softly as he twists around, forgetting about what he was grateful for earlier as he moves to pin Lucius to the ground.
He finds himself hoping that Latria can keep Itzel entertained for a loo-oong while.

Krista smiles just enjoying being with Rinon, she knew soon that she would be leaving him once again. And this time she didn't know how long that would be. She rest her head on his chest trying hard not to think about everything and just this very moment.
Looking back up she brush her lips against Rinon's not caring what anyone else would think at that very moment. Right now she was focused on her love and that was what she needed at that moment.
Virendra smiles then nods her approval as she turns her hands over palms down. Looking up at the moon, the markings on her hands and her cheek start glowing. An light blue glowing surround Virendra as the moon darknen. Just then shooting stars zipped through the sky for a few moments before stopping. Virendra looks over to her friend as the sky returns to normal "It seems we both have interesting powers..."
Drac and Diana had stopped to watch everything that just happen looking back at the two. Drac smiles shaking her head before tossing snow back at Diana. Virendra shakes her head then looks back at Ernia taking her hand. She knew she didn't have to say anythign to her friend to let her know she was happy to see her once again.
Tinania smiles hearing the song but frowns slightly just watching Mein. She wished that he would smile or that she could help him. She turns her head burying it in Surion's chest. She would give anything to make her brother smile again, and that alone was making her sad. Because she knew she wasn't able to.
Michelle frowns looking at the boxes of gifts, finally giving up she turns and tags Kaelin "Your it!!!" she laughs taking off running. Kaelin looks at her shocked before laughing and poking Comos then takes off running hersefl. He growls chasing after the two of them. Anila was laughing clapping her hand as she watched.

Rinon continues holding Krista close, resting his cheek on the top of her head.
Nyoka nods, frowning. "Yeah, I think it might be for the better. . . . I am not sure, yet, though," she tilts her head to the side, and juts out her chin toward the flap of the tent. "Want to go see what our children are up to out there?" she asks, hoping to change the subject.
Ernia laughs, throwing back her head a little. That was great, she signs. We'd make an interesting night sky one of these nights, when we reach out full potential. . . .
At first, Damien doesn't notice anything in his water. But, soon, he is blinking. His brow furrows, and he lifts his head. His reptilian, sea-green eyes scan the room for the one responsible for the words of comfort in his glass.
~*~*~***~*~*~
Lenore's irises start to bleed into crimson, before she shakes her head. She is silent a moment, but by the tightening of her grip, which is probably stronger than Eirnae remembers, on Eirnae's hands, it is obvious she is very angry.
And, that she has her own ideas about who might have done such a thing. "Someone took away a year of our lives together," she says, through clenched teeth. Her eyes are turning red again, but only slightly, as she is working hard to keep her anger in check. Angry tears burn her eyes, adding a red sheen to her amber eyes. "I lost a year with you, our son lost a year with you . . . they will pay," she hisses the last in Parseltongue.
Suddenly, she seems to snap out of it. She loosens her grip on Eirnae's hands, and seems to have regained a great deal of her composure. She lifts the other's hands to her lips, and kisses Eirnae's fingers. "We'll figure out what happened together. . . ." she offers, the tip of her tail stroking Eirnae's leg.
She blinks, and feels a blush come to her cheeks at the mention of a certain, vampiress. She cannot quite look Eirnae in the eye now, and her lips close over her elongated canines. "I have been wanting to take care of her on my own . . . but, I could never bring myself to go back into the forest. . . ." she shakes her head, mentally cursing her weakness where her sire is concerned.
~*~*~***~*~*~
Lucius isn't thinking about much of anything, as his throat emits a very canine growl of his own.
All he can think of is finding cover, and dragging Alimus off. He just needs a place where he can tear off Alimus's clothes . . . in private. . . .

Ala saw him scanning the room her eyes returning to blue and she pulls away from Torvil walking over to Damien "It's a strange feeling having family return into your life isn't it" she says quietly stopping beside of him
Surion looks at Nani "Want to go for a short walk Nani? Gather your thoughts and emotions?" he knew the situation was hard, he could sense that
Torvil leans on a pole of the tent watching Ala talk to Damien
Aylana pauses in thought "If Aunt Eirnae is back..." she looks at Nyoka "Would it make sense that Shina may be as well?" she asks frowning slightly in thought hoping this was true

A pile of snow by the playing Pae shivers, as if the white stuff finds itself freezing cold. A moment later it bursts open and a mreowling squeal of delight is followed by the 'Pamfh!' of two bodies colliding into yet another pile of snow. Itzel tumbles away from Latria's ambling paws, flipping up to her feet to crouch down on her strong little legs, her tail swishing at its tip as she readies for another powerful leap forward... When she realizes that they aren't alone. She sniffs at the air, expecting to be able to tell who these folk are by their scents, but then is flooded by the entirity of the fesitivites' smells. The many types of food and body odors throw her senses off, and she ends up plopping into the snow as if winded, and all too unprepared for Latria's pounce. "Oof!" she cries in protest as she hits the snow, Latria's smirk suddenly annoying to her. "Let me up... please," she remembers to add.
~~~~~~~~~~
Eirnae studies Lenore's reactions with trepidation, at first afraid that she would be angry with her. Shouldn't she be? She felt it was her fault for failing to protect herself and what family was with her, so why shouldn't Lenore? She is strangle relieved when she realizes that Lenore's rage is being directed at someone else. Enough relief to make her smile weakly, and gently squeeze Lenore's hands in response to their near painful grip. She doesn't mind such at all, as physical pain she can handle.
She doesn't trust that red glow that takes over Lenore's eyes, however. Even without it she would be able to tell that something is building inside of her love, and she knows that she has no right to tell Lenore that her anger isn't righteous. Hells, she wants to cleave the one responsible herself! "Yes, together," she agrees, hoping that Lenore meant such in all its possibilities.
When Lenore gains the haunted look when her sire is mentioned, Eirnae hunkers down to kiss the side of Lenore's mouth, her tongue snaking past the lips she loves so much to caress the side of a long canine. "She will be dealt with, mela. As you said before, we can do such things together. She will find our team damn hard to mess with when she chooses to show her face again." She stops talking long enough to slicken lenore's lower lip with her hungry tongue's tip before saying softly, "She is a powerful being, Lenore. I am proud of you for surviving that ordeal, even if you had to by a means you wouldn't normally choose. There is no shame in that."
~~~~~~~~~~
"The bushes," Alimus pants as the kiss slowly ends. He grips Lucius' shirt by the collar as he eases himself off of the man he thinks of as his mate, crawling back towards the very shrubs that had partially concealed him before. If the fabric tears, he's not likely to feel much remorse for it.

Krista felt like she was the only one there once she forgot about everything else. It wasn't until she saw the flashing of her cellphone going off in her purse then she stopped moving. She really didn't want to answer it, but she had a feeling it was that call she had no choice but to get.
She looks up at Rinon sadness in her eyes once again before she steps away from him heading to her purse. Picking it up she opens the cell then frowns looking at the name of her father on it.
Virendra laughs then nods "One day we shall make an intereting team." she lays her head on Ernia's shoulder just watching her sister continue to play in the snow. It wasn't until she caught the scent of someone familar that she looked up looking around. Okay where was she? Her eyes narrowed as she searched the ground looking for someone who would look like the cub she remembered.
Tinania looks up at him then back at Mein. Seeing that he was being comforted she looks back to Surion nodding "Yes please..." she smiles taking his hand pulling him towards the tent enterance.
Michelle and the pae continued to race around the tent weaving in and out of the people still remaining in the tent. They were giggling and laughing and having a great time just like any little kid would.

Damien looks up at Ala for a moment, before her turns away, gulping. He will not tear up again. He can only nod, for there is a big lump in his throat when he thinks about the moment Mum Eirnae reappeared.
Ernia is about to sign a reply to Virendra, when she hears something. Her extra-keen eyes scan the surrounding area, and she sees . . . her. Immediately, her wings unfurl, and her feathers puff up in a way that hasn't happened since she was very young. She hisses and it is certain that, if she still had a beak, it would be clicking in an irritated manner.
Her tail feathers lift and her eyes narrow as she hisses further. She remembers Itzel. The little brat had the nerve to p***k her! To draw her blood!
Nyoka's eyes immediately turn to her bracelet. She sees a faint glow on the charm representing Shina. Of course, hers and Aylana's are glowing full-blast.
And, now that she concentrates, she feels the tendrils of her sister's soul in her bracelet. She touches the snake wrapped around her forearm gently, and her eyes tear up a little. Blinking, she nods, and looks up at Aylana.
Rinon's eyes darken when Krista leaves, but he does not follow her. He knew the call was coming. All he can do is give her a nod, before turning away. He doesn't want her to see how much this is tearing him up.
~*~*~***~*~*~
Lenore blinks when she feels the familiar touch of Eirnae's kiss. Her heavy eyelids lower further, and she hisses pleasantly. When it is over, she is sad for it, and she listens to what Eirnae has to say.
Though she does not agree with what she says, she has to nod. "We'll take care of her, together," she agrees.
She puts aside her anger over what has happened to Eirnae, and half of her family, and tries a smile. "I'm so happy that you are back. I really can't explain how I am feeling right now. . . ." she says, softly, looking away again.
And, she doesn't know how she is going to explain Melantha to Eirnae, either. . . . She puts that thought aside, again. She is taking the cowardly way out by not beinging it up herself. But, she doesn't want to taint this bit of time she has with Eirnae.
Because, she knows that, soon, they will have to go back to the tent.
~*~*~***~*~*~
Lucius can only nod, and crawl after Alimus, keeping on him.
Once close enough to the cover, he growls again, his fingernails changing to his canin claws for a moment. The better to rip the shirt off. . . .
Through the fog in his brain, he is a little shocked at how he is acting. But, then, his mind fogs over again, and all he can think about is getting to those bushes, and fast.
And, getting rid of any cloth in the way of him being even close to Alimus. . . .
