Release Sajhiri  Session Plot: Sajhiri and Cervus bring Seeno to Tir Nan Og in the hopes that he is Kithain. He is indeed and frees Ursa, daughter of the former Court Shaman, from her glassy prison. Participants: Sajhiri, Seeno, Ursa, and Cervus. Setting: The meadow of the fairy ring in Tir Nan Og. Here a circle of mushrooms identical to that in the Silva Regia tower on Gaia connects that world with this one. On the horizon can be seen the white spires of Castellum Argentus and in the other direction, the dark spires of Castellum Umbra. And to a Kithain, the pull towards the castle in which their Fey ancestor resides is overwhelming if they are still cursed. Sajhiri and Cervus stepped out of the fairy ring, into the meadow behind Seeno. It had been an interesting morning when the young man arrived at the tower of the Silva Regia in Gaia. He had not been expected and his being drawn to the place came as a surprise for all involved. Sajhiri had ushered him inside, and Cervus had sat the young man down and explained to him about Tir Nan Og, the Sun and Moon Courts, and the terrible curse. The reason for his unplanned pilgramage to the wilds of Gaia was explained by the possibility of his having Fey blood, being a descendant of one of the children trapped there still. The price, too, was explained, the sacrifice needed to free said child from their glassy prison, where they had watched their world go by for a millenia, unable to interact. A small portion of the soul, and life essence of the Fey child's Kithain, to break the dreadful curse, And so it was that Seeno was led to the inner portion of the tower, and the mushroom ring that serves as a gateway between worlds. As he stepped into the fairy ring, his ancient blood called to the magics within it, and sent him to Tir Nan Og. The meadow was beautiful and bright in high summer, and Cervus, standing beside his Kithain, Sajhiri, was no longer a tiny winged man, but over 6 feet in height comparative to Seeno. Sajhiri looked to the young man with a gentle smile. "You are truly fey blooded, friend Seeno. Now let is see where your blood calls you. You will feel a tugging sensation, simply follow where it leads." Cervus looked off towards the gleaming white and gold spires of Castellum Argentus, the Sun Court palace, hoping that Seeno would be drawn there, and not towards it's darker counterpart. Seeno The land around him was very beautiful he had to stand for a moment to get his bearings and have a look around before he did heed everything that was said to him.
He narrowed his eyes, he had taken in everything Cervus had said to him and understood. But now he was in Tir Nan Og.
He closed his eyes and listened to Sajhiri's words, following that by a clear ponder in his mind. "Hm.." he rubbed his chin in thought. His feet without recognition were moving him, swifting him towards the Sun Palace 'Castellum Argentus'. His eyes lifted up and opened as the tug drawed him closer and closer towards the palace. Sajhiri Sajhiri and Cervus trailed alongside Seeno, both seeming relieved when he set out towards the silvery-white castle. Both were dreading the day when a Kithain turned to head for the other palace, but that day was not today. "When we reach the castle proper, we'll head for the garden and leave you to wander until you find your Kin. If you choose to free them, bring them back to the garden to be welcomed if you could be so kind, young Seeno?" Cervus' antlered head dipped towards the man as he spoke. Sajhiri gave Seeno a reassuring smile. Seeno He had relaxed into the walk and was looking at both Sajhiri and Cervus, "I shall," he nodded before adding in a comment, "If i can find the room," he chuckled to himself.
As he approached he let out a sigh, eyeing the two for the last time before taking the strides onwards into the palace. For when he did reach the palace and did enter he was in the Great Hall, he twirled around staring up and around and everywhere in awe. It was magnificent to see a room so beautiful. But he did not have time to waste. Sajhiri Sajhiri and Cervus parted from Seeno, and the pair headed out into the back courtyard and it's beautiful gardens, settling on a bench to wait and worry. The castle was silent and almost hopeful of feeling as Seeno walked through. The pull that seemed to call to him, drawing him towards the east side of the Castle proper. Seeno He finched as the draw pulled him east and edged him slightly north east upwards and upwards the force pushed and pulled.
He let it lead him in its direction, he let it take him to the place he was ment to be and that place was the 'Infirmary'. An Infirmary of course is a place for the sick or hurt in anyway a small hospital in a sort. With a huge push and a gasp of air Seeno was led into this room. The force had stopped almost in a split second, he felt like someone had lifted weights off his shoulders and body as he slowly looked upwards... Sajhiri There in the infirmary, looking over the place of healing, was a stained glass window, with the stylized head of a spectacled bear in it's center. The sun cast brilliant colored light around the room as it shone through the colored glass. The air seemed charged with electricity, and a strange compulsion to touch the window itself. Seeno Seeno watched as the coloured glass dazzled towards him and hitting places all around the room. He finched again and eyed it carefully.
"Beautiful.." he wandered forward and pushed his hand out as far as he could. The air hitting against him as tingley sensations moved around the room in a twirling sense of movement. Sajhiri Upon touching the glass, inside Seeno's head, an ethereal voice spoke in a velvet whisper. "Welcome, Seeno, to your ancestral home. Do you, of your own free will, give of your soul and your lifespark, to restore Ursa, daughter of Curare, to the Realm of Tir Nan Og and the glory of the Sun Court?" Seeno He listened carefully to the whisper with echoed around inside of his mind, "Yes I do, I promise," he replied.
He listened carefully as the echos dissapeared within a click Sajhiri The window began to glow, as if intense sunlight were bursting from inside of it. The bear head in the window turned a bright white, the colors bleeding from it and pooling on the floor in a ball of luminescence which grew in size and stretched in shape. Then a brilliant burst of light, blinding in it's intensity, erupted from that blue ball. In it's wake, when one's eyes adjusted to the flash, was left a Fey child. A girl of perhaps 4 human equivalent years, whose hair coloration and rounded fuzzy ears very closely resembled the spectacled bear from the window.

23rd July;
On the bench... Aesculus was on the bench sitting doing something but i didn't ask. I thanked him for the wonderful gift and he told me he was happy i liked it. Then Lady Rosa whisked along, she seemed rather unkind to poor Aesculus, as he had done nothing from what I was seeing. We moved onto a decent conversation about meeting the fey and such. Aesculus is a lovely charming boy, what a great start to a growing friendship.
Participants: Ursa, Aesculus, Rosa.
Setting: Courtyard
Session Start
Aesculus is sitting on a bench out in the courtyard, a tome on his lap. Notes are in the margins of the well-weathered book, and wear is starting to show on the edges of the leather binding. Each page he turns crinkles, and because of the yellowed, ancient, and fragile sheets that he is handling, he is being exeedingly careful. Ursa padded along slowly, her eyes wandering the gardens as she slowly made her way forward, "Aesculus!" she cheered spoting him and then began to run forward, "Thank you for the gift!" her squeaky voice continued as she looked down on the book curiously. A disruptive song fit into a lovely but certinly carrying voice picked up into the courtyard. Yes.. it was.. everyone's favourite melodramatic self loving Courtier, and she was singing. Again.
Though the song soon stopped, and despite the fact she had a good enough singing voice it wasent as though people wanted to hear her sing -all- the time, which is quite possibly what Ahnna went through. She smiled a bit at Ursa's mention, piping a "Hello!" As though she hadent just waltzed in out of nowhere bombarding the peaceful courtyards with noise. She shifted slightly when she saw Aesculus and cleared her throat once again, "And hello to you, too, evil one." "You are most welcome. My Kithain suggested that I pick out gifts for the other Fey as a sign of friendship." The pages crinkled as the book sighed close, a small layer of dust escaping before it finally shut.
"How do you find the others and your Kithain, young Ursa? Nevermind Lady Rosa- I fear she is having fits of delusions and fancies me a spy of the mooncourt despite the fact I grew up with our king." "Hello..Lady Rosa!" she said smiling before turning back to Aesculus, "My Kithain is nice and friendly! I've still got to talk and meet everyone!" she nodded to her comment, "Theres alot of things i need to learn about each person before i make my mind up about them," she grinned sheepishly. Rosa glared at Aesculus for a moment before she just rolled her eyes, "Yes, and when Aesculus tries to throw you over a fire and eat you; nevermind that." She muttered under her breath, walking twords Ursa with a glimmer of determination in some manner. "Sorry for the disturbance, little one. I suppose I should try not to let my personal quarrels with people interrupt first impressions. They are one of the most important, you know." She said with a grin as she gave her a slight curtsy and tilt of the head. He completely ignored Rosa and centered his attentions on Ursa... after all it wasn't fair to have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent, now was it? Smiling a bit to himself he digested his peer's answer and responded.
"Don't rush yourself- you'll meet them soon enough. I think perhaps the hardest part of the first few days is adjusting to this time... it isn't the same really, although that's not to say it's better nor worse." Ursa curtsied back towards Rosa and smiled, "Nice to meet you for the first time Lady Rosa," she grinned and turned back to Aesculus, "Iam going to make sure i understand everyone fully before i do go on and make my mind up about them," she said in another sense. Rosa smiled and nodded again before she turned to be on her way, "I will leave you two to talk, then. Farewell, Ursa.. Im sure the court will be blessed by another womans preasance, to say the least. Farewell and take care.. if you must.. Aesculus." She said as she started walking back down the path she had been on in the first place. "That is very wise of you, Herbalist Ursa." This is no small praise coming from Aesculus, and his face actually breaks into a hint of a smile despite its seemingly serious nature. "I see you aren't so rash as to judge a book by its cover." "Goodbye Lady Rosa," she said smiling and waving her off. "I would never do such a thing, its just not in my -nature-" she let out a sharp swarm of giggley fits, "Excuse me."
He blinks. It was a strange combination- such an energetic person having such wise ideas and thoughts. That's not to say she wasn't just as intelligent and sagely as he, it just wasn't a mix he had imagined. He wasn't the sort to laugh or giggle much so he just looked at her a moment.
"Which Fey have you met thus far?" She nodded sticking out her fingers to count, "All of them except the messenger and the queen," she shrugged, "Iam sorry but i do not know their names yet...What fey have you not met?"
"I have met all the fey except Ardea- I believe he is the messenger? I seem to remember his father being the scribe... but that's all I can recall about him. I think you will find the our queen quite kind... her name is Lilium." He paused a moment.
"I think that all but the queen and the messenger were present when I was freed of the curse by Lady Sy." She heard callings in the distance and sighed, "Ursa need to go.." she shook her head, "You've been most kind, i hope we can continue our talk sometime.. Please come my chambers anytime you want..But i must go..I hear Seeno," she sighed and wandered away, giving a small wave before wandering off.
He waved to hear as she left, thinking to himself that she was the most curious of the Fey he had met. As eyes gazed down at the book he couldn't help but let his thoughts drift, trying to see if he remembered her parents, her birth, anything- and found himself remembering his own parents. Choking back emotions, he calmly walked back to his room.
Session End.

Session Plot: Muris comes along to meet Ursa.
Participants: Ursa and Muris
Setting: Ursas Chambers Ursa sat hugging her teddy and gazing around the damp empty room, Seeno had gone out and she was lonely, he eyes trailed the books but today she didn't feel like reading. She wasen't inspired nor happy...
Lonely. Seeno had gone out a while ago and not come back for lunch, a bit unusual she was thinking.
The door gave a creak or two every minute or so. Back and forward faster and faster, the wind was picking up a gust but Ursa ignored the fact
Muris pattered along the hallway..Ursa hadn't been around much, but she was really hoping she could find the other girl today. The bunny that she was taking care of was really really sick, and she thought that Ursa was the only Fey who would know how to make it better.
Cuddling the tiny creature closely, she paused for just a second in front of the door, and then took a deep breath, knocking on it. If nobody answered she'd just go back to the stables.
Ursa gave out a small squeaky call, thinking it was Seeno, "C-ccome in.." she stuttered slipping the book back into the bookcase and murmering things. She grabbed her box kit and quietly shoved her scrapbook back in, hiding it in a drawer to the left hand of the room.
Then to run back and sit on her chair again, waiting for whoever it was to come in. "Well you can come in now," she repeated tapping her foot, against the dusty floor, each tap caused a cloud of dust to puff up into the air.
Muris spent a moment shifting the bunny around so that she could push the door open, though in truth she was also slightly startled that there had been any sort of response at all. Perhaps it was this that made her take so long in responding to the summons to 'come in'.
She entered the room after the second, impatient call, and blushed just a little,
"Er...I..I'm Muris..and..and.."
Ursa's face lit up, "Iam so honoured and glad to of met you now!" she yelled running up to hug the stuttering mouse. "Here here sit down," she edged her towards the nearest seat possible. Her personallity differed all most at once she was exitable, bubbly, funny, fun and overall delightful.
She ran behind her table and sat down quietly, letting Muris take in everything that had happened.
Muris was careful to move the bunny out of the way so that it wasn't squished by the overenthusiastic bear. Smiling shyly, the little mouse sat down, putting the rabbit on the table,
"I..er..I've been looking for ya..'cause I've got this bunny an' he's hurt an' you know lotsa stuff 'bout medical stuff...."
The mouse's ears pricked up a bit hopefully as she regarded the other,
"D'ya think ya kin help 'im?"
Ursa stared at the helpless bunny, her index finger cast over to her box as she pulled her scrapbook and a pencil out, "What symptoms?" she asked quietly eyeing the squirmy, poor sick bunny feeling extremely sorry for the poor little creature.
Muris pushed her silver hair behind her ears, peering at the poor thing as it lie there breathing heavily,
"Well...he won't eat or drink anything anymore. He's all twitchy...when he moves it's like he's drunk.."
She bit her lip, looking a bit tearful,
"Sissy says...says she doesn't think 'e's gonna make it..."
She gazed at the bunny and rubbed her chin, "The plantation he may of been eating may have been poisoned by man made gases or fumes, he might of been trapped in the forest clearing.." she murmered stroking the rabbit sympathitically.
"If you apply a disinfectant plants juice to his fur it should slowly start to fade.. But what plant.." she murmered thinking yet again..
Muris stroked right between the bunny's ears, where it was softest. It seemed to like that because, twitchy as it was, it leaned against her hand as much as it could, and she sniffled a bit while she waited for Ursa to decide what plant would be best for the little guy,
"The fox's okay, 'n I let the skunk go back to th' forest yesterday..." she was more talking to herself to keep her mind off things than to inform Ursa of the critters she'd been collecting,
"s'just this little guy.."
She shook her head and went back into the box, coming out with a bottle which read, "Oozing Gooze," didn't sound too pleasent. "Try this.. Its to be used with caution though. Too many drops a day and your rabbits dead, two drops would be enough, before then rubbing the goo into the fur and applying it in fleshy places missed," she nodded, "Iam positive that would work," her voice noted an highly exciteble tone.
She handed over the green bottle too Muris, "Just don't tell anyone about my box," she mentioned slowly before hiding it again, checking it anyone saw apart from Muris and herself.
Muris nodded, gently applying the stuff as Ursa said, and then putting the bottle somewhere she'd be able to pick it up whenever she left Ursa's room. The bunny seemed content to go back to sleep, so she let it do so. It probably needed the rest anyways,
"Thank you so much! I've been really worried 'bout 'im..."
She giggled and nodded, "Now you can rest well knowing that the poor little creature will be alright now..." she turned up to Muris, "Ursa," she extended her hand and smiled again. "Its great to finnally of met you, Iam sorry I met your release... I was studying," she then went to explain.
The little mouse smiled, nodding,
"Oh, it's okay...I don't mind you missing it at all.."
She remembered just how awful it'd been, and how she'd cried when she first got pulled out of the window. She was definitely glad there hadn't been many there when that happened.
"And 'm glad I've finally met ya too! Sissy says we'll prolly get 'long pretty well 'cause we both like animals.."
Ursa smiled and nodded, "I must vist the stables some time, maybe to pick up a horse or something," she giggled, "I've been meaning too but just haven't had time," she had to admit before watching the rabbit sleep.
The little mouse nodded,
"Oh yes, ya should! The stables are the bestest place in the whole castle!" her crimson eyes seemed to light up excitedly as she thought about the place,
"An' th' horses are all so wonderful! Even Nimlote, but she's a bit of a bully..'n Alces came th' other day 'n got his 'n I had so much fun helping him!"
Ursa nodded along, trying to pick up the young mouses little accent. "Aha!" she said enthusiastically before looking back at Muris, "I can't wait until Seeno goes for mine!"
Muris giggled,
"Well when ya do then come 'n see me 'n I'll help ya find the perfect one!" She beamed, playing with the horseshoe necklace she always wore. Her father'd given it to her,
"Pap..father always said I had a good eye for horses."
She didn't seem to realize that she had once again slipped into the lazy talk she used when she wasn't attempting to impress the nobles that seemed to be all over the place. It was just that even speaking was still rather new for her again now that she'd been released from the curse, and she didn't seem to form the words quite properly when she wasn't thinking about it.
"I never knew my father," she murmered recalling a couple of flashbacks, "Although I remember my father.." she droned on also. "But I won't bore you with tales of woe. Can I interest you in a drink Muris?" she asked kindly.
Muris looked a little stunned at this first comment. What would it have been like if she hadn't known -her- father? She didn't even want to think about that. Her father was the bestest.
"um...a drink? ...er...yeah, sure..."
Her mother hadn't been bad either, of course. She was a nice lady, even if she did harp on about respecting the nobles a bit too much.
She pushed a glass of water towards Muris and held one tightly in her hands, going to sip it quietly every minute or so, keeping her gaze fixed on Muris beautiful features.
The mouse sipped at her water thoughtfully, watching the bunny sleep for a bit and then peering around Ursa's room.
"Ya've got a lotta books..." she mentioned, peering at the shelves curiously,
"D'ya like to read, then? 'm not much good at readin' yet. Sissy's teachin' me how ta, though. 'n I'm really liking learnin' it."
She nodded affectionatally, "I read." she said blankely, "I love to read." her tone dropped before she dropped the cup onto the floor, the water spilling everywhere, she began to shake nervously.
Muris' little eyes grew wide and she dove out of her chair to help keep Ursa from falling out of her own,
"Are you okay?" she asked, worried,
"Y'look like yer gonna fall right over!"
She decided that ignoring the fact she was sitting in a puddle of spilled water would probably be a good idea at this point. She'd worry about drying off after she was certain her newfound friend was all right.
"Y-Yes." she said at once before ushering Muris back, "No no.. Its my fault I'll clean it up," she said sighing, "I don't mind really I don't...."
The mouse blinked, but shook her head,
"Nah, I'll help. 'm used to cleaning things up." She grinned a bit mischievously,
"Afterall, that's a big part of takin' care of horses, right?"
She looked about for a towel or something to clean up the water with,
"But what made ya fall all over like that? Are you feelin' okay?"
"I think its a cold," she sniffed moving over the cupboard and pulling out two mops. She shook her head and began to shake it back and forth on the water.
Muris sat down again, realizing that she really -couldn't- help mop up the water and therefore should at least stay out of the way,
"Mebbe I should go, then. When people're sick they're s'posed ta rest a lot..."
"Maybe," se said quietly, "It was nice meeting you and It would be awsome If you could come back," she said again before letting out a small sneeze.
"Get well soon! 'n remember ya c'n come out to the stables to see me anytime ya like..." She gave the other girl a hug, and then collected her bunny, heading back for her own room to practice her reading so that she could read to Pappila again sometime.
"Bye.." she squeaked as the door crankled close. Lonely again.. and sick... Ursa coughed again and let out a huge sigh before whining for Seeno to come back. "Come back Seesee.." she moaned grabbing a cup and spitting into it.
"Iam ill and scared.."

Session Plot: Pappila comes along to the chambers to vist Ursa and have a playdate
Participants:Seeno, Eirnae Pappila and Ursa
Setting: Ursas Chambers Ursa was holding a book close to her face, admiring the work of the book and trying to read about the different plants, a keen learner was she fastily becoming. After Seeno coming back, her brain power had seethed to have doubled. Her eyes traced the book.
"Ursa!" a distant call was heard as Seeno himself marched into the room, "I phoned up Eirnae and Pappila should be coming over."
"The butterfly?" she asked recalling Sajhiri's mention before she went to the library, "Another then.." she muttered slowly, "Iam sad I missed it..." she trailed off for a moment as Seeno sat at the far corner of the empty, dusty room.

"The butterfly?" she asked recalling Sajhiri's mention before she went to the library, "Another then.." she muttered slowly, "Iam sad I missed it..." she trailed off for a moment as Seeno sat at the far corner of the empty, dusty room.
Pappila is trying her best to keep up with Eirnae with her short little legs, her being half tempted to try and fly alongside her Kithain instead of toddle after her with one hand secured in the much taller moon elf's grip. She flutters her wings unconciously, her thoughts of flight encouraging them to move. Of course she's never flown before in her life, but she's sure willing to try at this point rather than be bustled along.
Of course her Kithain had said they would be visiting another Fey today, so that at least should make the trip worth the trouble, right? She looks up and to the side, trying to see the fuzzy stuffed toy Eirnae has tucked under her right arm. She only get a glimpse of the stiched pad of a furry leg before her vision is invaded by her Kithain's leather-clad back again, and so she returns to keeping her attention ahead of her.
Of course going down stairs is one hell of a challenge for her, being so small, but with Eirnae's encouragement she makes it down most of them before sitting down defiantly to give her feet a rest. She hasn't walked this much all of her life! Her arms lift, a silent plea for the moon elf to pick her up, which Eirnae does after a brief moment of rearranging the stuffed animal to be tucked into her jacket instead of under her arm.
When they get to Ursa's chamber door, or at least what Eirnae prays is Ursa's door, she asks Pappila to knock for them to be let in. The little Fey does so with the end of the wand she is currently toting, making a 'tap, tap, tap' sound against the wood.
Immediatally Ursa sprang to her feet, pushing her book aside herself lunged forward for the door and her hands ran onto the knob. Before a tightening of the grasp and a loud creak, the door pushed itself backwards and Ursa was left facing the beautiful Pappila, she felt jealous of her good looks, looking up at Eirnae and Pappila strained her tiny eyes but she persisted. Jealous was the word to describe her feelings, Pappila was so pretty, she backed up a bit to allow them space to move on in.
"Its nice to meet you Pappila and Eirnae," she smiled warmly, "Iam sorry I missed the release, I was studdying hard in the library on plants," she stuttered slightly, some nerves twitching inside her, Seeno was not standing next to her to make that safe feeling appear.
He was still sitting in the same dusty chair, but rised and greeted the pair with a short nod and a smile. He'd met Eirnae briefly once in gaia. -Briefly-
Eirnae tilts her head upon seeing Seeno's face, as something is distinctly familiar about it. Ah... yes, that is where she saw him last. After placing him her attention shifts to Ursa, who seems oddly nervous. Well, she can understand Ursa being rather timid around her, Eirnae being a new adult and such, but from what she can see a great deal of those nerves are due to Pappila and not herself. How strange...
"It is good to meet you as well, Ursa," she replies for both her and Pappila, as the young Fey cannot really talk with her being so young, "Do not trouble yourself over that. She and I both went right to sleep not long after she was freed, so no one beyond Ardea... I think that is his name... got to see her that day." She steps further into the room, setting Pappila onto her feet once she is inside. The toddler look around herself calmly, studying the room as well as its occupants. She takes the time to look at each detail, and thus becomes very engrossed without intending to be. Her wand, oddly the Wand of Tides was her choice for the day, sways in her hand absentmindedly as she indulges her eyes and mind with her surroundings.
Eirnae notes Pappila's absorbtion and attempts to make up for it with conversation, "We have not seen one another for a while, have we, Seeno?" A topic worth opening up, at least in her mind. "I suspect we both were taken by surprise regarding us being Kithain. Of course the surprise was a pleasant one," she adds as she smiles down at Ursa.
Ursa's lips quivered and she smiled as Seeno, whom made a move toward her, to stand aside her. He watched Pappila and smiled before listening to Eirnae.
Ursa wasen't bothered about conversation she toddled towards Pappila and her eyes widened as she noticed the wand clasped firmly in her hand. "Interesting.." she murmered gazing at the beautiful wand.
Seeno nodded, "It is pleasent to see you again and as a Kithain," he paused and looked towards the two girls and smiled again, the corners of his lips extending.
Pappila is broken out of her examination of Ursa's room at the sound of the unfamiliar voice, turning to regard her fellow Fey with piercing azure eyes. The young child does not purposely make her gaze as penetrating as it is, it merely seems to come naturally. Such is a look that peels away the layers of formality, the depths of flesh and bone, to prod what lies beneath in a purely scientific manner. Intelligence pools in this butterfy-winged Fey's bright orbs, and whoever they affix upon knows without question that no matter their bearer's age, she is not one to miss a single detail.
When the toddler realizes that Ursa is captivated by her blue wand she looks down at it with a bemused expression, like a teacher noticing her student has become focused on an apple on her desk rather than her lecture. She lifts up the hand clenching the wand so Ursa can better see the fine craftsmanship of the magical tool as well as its little details, like the bubbles in the water trapped inside the clear outer shell. Pappila smiles fondly, looking up to view Ursa's reaction to her bringing the wand closer to her.
Eirnae takes Seeno's cue and also looks to the two girls, not sure of how to answer his returned greeting, as it really didn't offer much for her to reply with. "I have not been Kithain long," she finally offers, deciding that is a safe approach, "Yet I already find that Pappila has enriched my life, just as the rest of my children have." She then grins, remembering the fuzzy toy stuffed between her jacket and her midsection. Quickly she tugs it out and refluffs its brown fur, making it very obvious that what she is making presentable is a soft teddy bear of reasonable size.
"Pappila," Eirnae says encouragingly once she is done fussing over the bear, bending down a bit and shaking the teddy bear back and forth with a hand to add the motion to gain Pappila's attention, "We brought this for our hostess, didn't we?"
Pappila turns and watches the stuffed animal be moved side to side in the air for a few moments before toddling to be by her Kithain. She tucks her wand under her right arm and holds out both of her little arms to accept the bear from Eirnae, who does in fact hand the toy to Pappila with a gentle smile. Pappila promptly turns around and takes what steps she must to stand by Ursa, holding out the bear in front of her for Ursa to take if she wishes, her smile echoing Eirnae's current one in regards to softness and warmth.
Seeno nodded as Eirnae spoke, his eyes traced Pappila and a wide smile appeared on his face as the gift was accepted warmly.
Ursa's eyes lit up within a second, her jaw dropped and she gazed at the soft teddy bear, not bearing to take her eyes away, "T-Thank you..Pappila!" she squealed looking at it in a warmth of child like delight.
Pappila nods graciously as she continues to hold out the teddy bear towards Ursa, apparently waiting for the other Fey to get the meaning of her silent gestures and take the toy from her.
Eirnae covers up a chuckle with her right hand, not wanting Pappila to think she is belittling her with her amusement at Pappila's quiet insistance.
Almost at once Ursa gracefully took the bear into the clutches of her arms and smiled at Pappila. "Thank you Pappila.." she said clinging onto the bear. "When I come to your chambers. I'll have something good for you.." she added a hint of vehemence to her tone and gave another warm smile.
Seeno glanced at the two again and turned his attension to Eirnae, "Those two are getting on rather well.." he murmered and let out a small laugh.
Pappila tilted her head at the odd tone to Ursa's voice, but she doesn't react strongly to it. Instead she merely nods her head, her smile toning down just a bit to become a little more than polite, but not by much. She turns and looks up at Eirnae, who does a little motion with her hand in a tight circle, to which Pappila looks back to Ursa to perform a small curtsey.
"That's my girl," Eirnae murmurs under her breath as Pappila fulfills her duties of being polite, hoping that her hand gesture doesn't alienate Ursa.
Pappila ends her curtsey and reaches forward to brush her right hand against Ursa's left, pulling her own hand back right after. She looks about the room, as if searching for something in particular. If she sees anything resembling a book, she will point towards it insistantly and take a step in that direction.

If she sees anything resembling a book, she will point towards it insistantly and take a step in that direction.
Ursa giggles and curtsys back before turning her back and casting her index finger to a book case at the far side of the room, alot of books about healing, spells and plants are what it consists of. But on the table lies an open book of fairytales with a neat silver and brown bookmark with bears on it, sits carefully in place.
She smiles and looks back at Pappila before letting her smile widen and her mouth open gently.
Pappila's gaze quickly switches between the tempting bookshelf full of wonderful looking tomes to the open book on the desk, unable to make up her mind which looks best. Finally she decides on the book on top of the desk, as if it is open it must be good, right? She hurries over to stand by that piece of furniture and points up to where a corner of the open book can be seen from below, the look on her face a mix of 'Please?' and 'Right now!'.
Eirnae looks over to Seeno as she asks, "Think it would be alright if one of us read to the girls, or..." She turns to include Ursa in her view as she continues, "Can you read already, Ursa?"
Ursa shook herself, "Iam trying to teach myself by reading.." she murmered watching Pappila, "I think she should choose herself," she toddled along beside Pappila and gave her a reassuring nudge. "I agree with Ursa," Seeno nodded and watched the young Pappila.
A blue book of butterflies lay hidden in the corner but Ursa kept silent, watching.
Pappila points up towards the book on top of the desk again, searching each of the three other faces in the room for an inkling of understanding. Grrr... Life is so very frustrating when one cannot talk! She grunts lightly as she jerks her hand in the direction of that book again, trying to make it plain that she's already chosen the book, now somebody read it to her, darn it!
Eirnae knows that look on her Fey's face all too well at this point, but she doesn't step forward for two reasons. One, Pappila needs to learn ways to communicate her thought processes to others in a social environment. Two, she's not about to make Pappila believe people will immediately do whatever she bids just because she's starting to get cranky. She waits a while, shooting Pappila a 'calm down and think about this' look from where she stands.
Pappila pouts at her Kithain's silent message, turning around and looking up at the edge of the book longingly. Alright, so the hand gesture wasn't cutting it. Maybe if she tried moving the desk chair first? Brillant! The toddler starts to push at the chair, getting it further away from the desk inch by slow inch. This is heavy work for such a small Fey! She has to get out her wand from under her arm as she wipes at her forehead when she finally comes to a stop after moving the chair a full three inches.
Ursa watches in complete astonishment, she toddles across the room to get a better view at Pappila attempting to pick her book. Ursa shouted out in a friendly mannor, "C'mon Pappila! You can do it," echoed around the room cheerfully as she waved her arms around herself wildly.
Pappila really tries her best not to make a face at Ursa's declaration. Knowing that the other Fey means well helps a lot, though she does acquire just a hint of a grimace as she tries moving to be closer to the now slightly pushed back chair than the desk, pointing up to the book still open on top of the desk insistantly.
Eirnae looks over first to Seeno, then to Ursa, wondering if either one realizes what Pappila is trying to say at all. That look alone tells her that neither has a clue, so she then chooses to step forward to keep Pappila from getting overally frustrated purely out of courtesy for her Fey. "I believe Pappila is trying to tell us that she wants to read the book on the desk," she intones.
Pappila nods, her facial features registering gratitude as she stops pointing to the underside of the desk and looks over at Ursa expectantly.
Ursa giggled and grasped the book neatly in her hand, before pushing it forward to Pappila and examining what was to happen next. Her eyes wandering the small girl before her and her brain ticking.
Pappila is glad that they have gotten this far, at least. Of course when the book is pushed towards her she mentally shrugs and reaches forward to indulge her love of feeling the cover and binding of a tome before opening it. It's like tracing the features of a friend's face before talking to them, at least in Pappila's way of thinking. Then she tugs open the cover to get to the very first page, the fingers of her right hand lightly brushing that page lovingly before she turns the book as she walks to stand beside Ursa, looking up at the older Fey with a compelling smile. Surely the other Fey understood by now that she wanted to be read to?
Eirnae again stays out of it, moving to lean against a wall opposite the two girls so she can watch them better without interupting them.
Ursa smiles brightly, "You guys are more than welcome to take it back with you." she nodded before grabbing a book on healing hacked wounds and pushed that onto the desk for later.
"Would you guys like a drink?" Seenos voice pushed up and asked.
Pappila sighs softly then nods, looking up to her Kithain with a look that Eirnae reads to mean 'Help me get this heavy thing closed, please?'. Well, that and the fact that her toddler is currently doing her best to close the book herself tips her off. She walks around Ursa and helps Pappila to close the large book, making sure not to close it on the toddler's little fingers in the process.
Pappila beams Eirnae a gracious smile before making her way to the center of the room to plop down on her rump, yawning widely. Eirnae walks over and scoops her up into her arms, with Pappila's wings facing away from Eirnae's chest and the little girl's arms going round the moon elf's neck. "No, but thank you, Seeno. I think Pappila needs to go back to her chambers for some rest." She walks over and bends down at the knees in order to scoop up the offered book, smiling at Ursa as she rises. "I'll be sure to read this to her soon, Ursa, so we can return it. Thank you for sharing with Pappila." She turns and hefts Pappila again gently, rearranging her Fey daughter for the toddler's increased comfort. "Thank you for having us here, Seeno and Ursa. We will visit again sometime soon." Eirnae then opens up the chamber door and slips out, closing it behind her quietly. Her next destination is Pappila's room, to get her Fey the rest that she requires.
"Most welcome," Ursas sweet scented voice trailed after them, "Most welcome.." she repeated fixing her eyes on them as they left, before Eirnae shut the wooden cranky door behind them. Thus life going on and on. Ursa turned back to her table and sat down, opening the book and pushing her index finger to the picture...

26th August Sickness goes away.
Ursa woke up this morning, her eyes were wide and the bags which once laid under were gone. She wasen't as pale, and her body language showed she wasen't weak either. Iam sure the medication recieved from that mysterious man did wonders for her, you can just tell, you can tell, I mean.. She was up first thing at her bed, fiddling with a pen, trying to draw to impress me and merely add it to her collection stuck with blue-tack on the wall.
I walked in and the first thing I got was a warm, friendly hug from her, she jumped off her bed and launched forward.
I then opened the curtains to let light in, opened a window to let fresh air in and cleaned up a little. We spent the rest of the day, huddled up on the bed together, me reading her fairy tales she'd never heard before.
Ah.. Good day.

28th August Meeting Filix and the golden bangle
Filix came around today, whilst I nipped out and about too attend to things. Iam not that sure as what the pair got up, Ursa said they talked alot about the other Fey, and 'girly things'.
I'm more than sure Ursa has a strong friendship with Filix, she admires her alot, Iam sure Ursa thinks that she understands her, Ursa has been rather negative during her sickness so it was good to brighten her days with a friendly encounter with Filix.
She had two new pictures up on her wall today, one of her and Filix hand in hand and a gathering of lovehearts neatly decorating the page. 'Girls'
We'll have to see about taking Ursa to the library some time, she still hasen't been, hm oh well.. I returned to her chambers and dropped off some notepads and things, only to note they went straight into her box.
Oh and I did buy her the most beautiful golden bangle from Durem..
Bangle (c) Kyuketsuki <3 Much luff!

Participants: Rosa and Ursa.
Plot: We Shall See?
Session Start
Morning broke outside, and Rosa's eyes slowly glided open. She must of stared at her cieling a good ten minutes before finnaly sitting up with a light groan, she streached her arms over her head and gave a small, dainty yawn as she looked around. She had yet to open her window again, and though she thought she had woken as early as she usually did - around 7 or so in the morning - she had slept in today. Well, after her little 'adventure' the night before, it was only logical. It was closing in on 11 am by Gaian standards, and as she came to her feet and opened her window - only to be greeted by the blazing son she almost yelped in suprise.
With light, 'nobleman' sorts of curses, she flew around her room in morning preporation. Oh, how long it took her to get ready. Having to unset, unbraid, rebraid, reset, position her hair... Apply certin makeup, make sure her gown was pressed and spotless. She was about in the middle of this, one side of her hair was braided and curled up in its usual style and the other half was let loose in looooong lengths of half braided nonscence. She wasent going to be too thrilled to have any visitors, well- atleast any male or important visitors.
Ursa nervously padded forth, her hands firmly at her side. Ursa had been up for a while now, eaten some and decided to go for a short stroll. But she decided maybe it was time to go and meet Rosa, she'd heard about her from Filix. "Maybe.." she whispered. So she did, making her way in small padded footsteps to Rosas chambers.
"I hope i just don't mess this up too," she tapped on the door innocently and loud out a huge sigh; 'here we go'.
"This has to be some sort of sick joke.." Rosa thought outloud, as she eyed the door. "Let me guess. Aesculus, hand in hand with the image of death? Perhaps hes taken scythe wielding and wants to share?" Classic images of the 'Grim Reaper' trode through her head. Oh how Ahnna had poisioned her mind. "Or maybe its Cervus, or Queen Lilium. That would be wonderful." She continued, sarcasitcally speaking to herself as if this were perhaps the worst morning of her life.
Which, of course, couldent be true. "Hello Aesculus."
She chimed, as she opened the door. When her eyes opened and examined the small person on the other side she rose an eyebrow, before cracking a small triumphant smile. "Or not. Greetings. Who are you?" She demanded in a semi friendly tone, as she turned around and continued her braiding as if Ursa's preasance didnt affect her.
Ursa shuffled her feet nervously, hearing Rosa murmering within, but not quite making out what she was saying. But when she did come to the door, Ursa was taken aback, she jumped a little.
"H-h-hello!" she said trying to smile back, "Ursa.. Ursa.." she repeated being rather fidgety with the bottom of clothing. Twisting it around in her finger as a source of support.
"Ursa, daughter of...?" She looked back at the young girl, expecting her to finish her sentance as she gracefully sat infront of the vanity mirror she did most of her primping in. "Come in, Ursa. Close the door. I won't have one of the men seeing me like this, and it isn't proper to keep guests waiting in doorways, now, is it? I am Countess Rosa, for formalities sake, though I assume you know who I am if your coming to my chambers? Unless your Aesculus' assasin?"
Ursa toddled in quietly, "Oh yes," she said, trying to sound interested, "Filix told me about you, I wanted to come and meet you in person," she said boldly. The nerves had frazzled. Popped off for now.
"Daughter of the sun court shaman, Curare," her eyes wandered about as she padded to the centre of the room.
Rosa blinked a few times, shaking her head. "Oh, I don't think Filix is the best place to hear of me, dear." She looked back at Ursa and smiled, "I see. Well, forgive me if I am a tad short... Im a bit unnerved." She looked her over, and then looked around her room, "Something catch your eye?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.
Really, there were plenty of things that could. She had all sorts of print-out paintings in her room, tuns of scarlet red fabrics decking her walls and extravagent sorts of decorations -everywhere.- It wasent cluttered, however, as Rosa did have an undeniable sence of style. Well, the girl HAD to have -some- gifts.
"Shaman. That sounds interesting. Perhaps you and I have a little in common, after all, young Ursa..." She trailed off, as her hair was finnaly set how she liked it, and turned to the girl. "I practised some medicine quite a bit when I was younger. I havent learned anything new, as of late, though..."
She gazed up in awe, "Your chambers are so beautiful," she circled around with her eyes once are twice before grinning goofily. "I don't think iam that good at medicine yet," she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and blushed a bit.
The room was beautiful, it had such a happy appearence, the warmth and welcoming was increadible.
Sure, Rosa's chambers were beautiful. They sort of... had to be, the darned girl would have it no other way. Welcoming, maybe... maybe if you didn't know Rosa all that well, and had yet to see the womans temper; and had yet to imagine what she would be like had any of her precious decorations been broken.
She grinned, almost in a compedative mannor- though she well knew that the likely hood of her knowing more or being capable of more then the future shaman herself in this paticular art was hopeless. "You will learn. I cannot serve the job. Blood, you know, it sticks to things." She sighed and made a 'come' motion to the young girl. "Yes, I have worked on the ambiance in here for a great deal of time." Her 'come' motion continued.
Ursa tilted her head slightly to the right, but followed the motions, wandering forth to follow Rosa. Interested. She held onto the bottom of her clothing material, as some of the hairs on her neck stood on end. Rosa seemed a little mysterious -well- in Ursas opinion.
'Lets just give it time,' she thought with a nod.
Rosa smiled, and gave the girl a slightly satisfied nod as she pulled out her DREADED WEAPON OF DOOM!
Okay, so she pulled out a comb.
She moved to thread her fingers throught he girl's bangs and brush her hair, neatly. "Try not to clutch onto your clothes like that, Ursa. It doesnt ... well, it isnt exactly flattering." She informed her.
She smiled and nodded, "Sorry Lady Rosa," her hand went back to her side. Her eyes beamed brightly, Rosa wasen't all that bad. She wasen't bad either.
The woman smiled again, and removed her hands from Ursa's person, leaning back to look her over she nodded. "Countess Rosa. Much better. Now, little Ursa.." She came to her feet, and looked at the door. "Im sorry but I need to do alot today, and I have lost many hours to dreaming already. I will see you again, I am sure - as it is but one castle to roam." She went to lead the girl to her door, promptly and official like, maintaining the almost unnatural grace and posture of hers as always.
Ursa nodded, "I'll meet you again someday," she smiled and made her way out the door. What a fool she scowled to herself and closed it firmly behind her, "Goodbye.."
Session End
When Ursa came back she was welcomed with gifts from both Alces and Muris
Muris Next to Alces' gift is another placed there with a barely legible note written, rather obviously, by the little mouse
Ursa,
I hope you are feeling better? Here is a gift for being nice to me!
~Muris
Obviously, Shiaree helped her with the spelling and such. 
Alces Alces quietly walked down the corridors of the castle. With him, he had a small plant for Ursa. Stopping in front of the door to her chambers Alces set the Bamboo plant down. He set the note next to it. The note read:
Dear Ursa-
Here is a small gift for you. I hope you enjoy it. As I'm sure you know, since you are quite knowledgable in plants due to being the herbalist. It is Bamboo, and I figured it might be a nice gift because it is a plant.
-Your friend,
Alces 
(While out wandering in Gaia, as he so often did, Alces had come across this bamboo plant and thought it would make a nice gift for Ursa since it had to do with plants.)

24th September; Met Alces/ A stroll in the gardens
Session Plot: A stroll in the garden.
Participants: Anyone who may wish to join
Setting: Gardens
Ursa strolled along the garden, admiring the beautiful light coloured plants which lay neatly in the dark brown soil. Her eyes narrowed as the sun shone down, half of her face in darkness, the other side, warm, cheerful and satisfied, her cheeks turned a rose colour.
She stopped, her feet were tiring now, the sun was strong for a little girl like her, but she didn't moan or complain, she just slumped slightly, her black slouched and her tummy tucked in, her knees swayed a little. Alces was on his way back from taking Orin out for a ride. As usual he was walking through the gardens to get back to the castle/his chambers. The man was just finishing up an extra carrot that he hadn't given to the horse. When he noticed Ursa up ahead he gave a smile and a wave. "Hello there Miss Ursa." He called out as he continued to approach her. Ursa glanced over her shoulder and finched, before spinning around. She had encountered Alces a few times before, she smiled and regained composure, pushing her body upright at once.
"Hello!" she called back.
When Alces had finally reached the girl he brushed off part of some carrot that was stuck in the fur around his neck after his horse had tried to eat it...again. "How are you doing?" He asked; looking down at her with the smile still on his face, "I hope you are doing well?" She blushed a little, "Oh yes... I've been great, regretting my absence to alot of things, but hopefully Iam back for good," she grinned and gazed up at the man, "Thank you for your gift, it was very kind of you to do that," she slid her hand behind her back, she had been clutching something secretively before. "I tried my hand at baking, it wasn't too successful... But... Y'know, I like to be creative and experiament with new things," she droned on, "So without further ado," before presenting a scrumptious small cake.
"For you!" she grinned again
Alces hadn't really noticed Ursa had been gone, but had become quite the little actor after becoming an adult so he just smiled and nodded, "Yes, we've all missed you. I'm glad you're back." he trailed off for a moment before beginning to smile at her again, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like the gift." When he saw the small cake a grin appeared on his face, "Thank you!" He went to take the cake from her, and decided he wouldn't start eating it now since he didn't want to eat in front of her when she had nothing to eat.
She smiled and the tips of her ears went red, "That’s okay, I needed a guinea pig anyway," she giggled, "It was boring to make, but Seeno insisted I do something to pass the time, time seems to go so slow these days..." she trailed off.
He gave a nod of his head, "I've been the guinea pig before. Once I even ended up learning how to bake cookies from Muri when I was still a 'teenager'." He trailed off as well, remembering the time a four year old taught him how to make cookies. "The first ones got burned pretty badly, but the second batch came out okay." He moved the cupcake to his other hand, "I'll be sure to eat it as soon as I return to my chambers. It looks very good." He thanked her again and looked around the garden for a moment, "Out for a walk I take it?"
She nodded and thought of Muris, hoping to meet her again sometime soon. Then looking back at Alces and nodding, "out for the air, and a walk, yes..." she glanced at the flowers as they swayed in the breeze.
"I do that quite often when I'm not doing anything in particular." he told her while going to safely put the cupcake away in the pouch he had at his side after having a 'picnic' lunch so to speak out in the fields with his Kithain before she had headed back to Gaia.
"Its nice to be out here, let the wind blow against you and let the sun shine brightly," she admitted, pausing to think, her eyes wandering.
"Yes it is." he said with a smile before looked up at the sun a moment, "I'm sorry Ursa, but I must be going now. I'll be sure to eat the cupcake and let you know how it was. " he began walking off towards the entrance to the castle, and turned around to give her one more wave, "I hope to see you again soon sometime."
She nodded, "Goodbye, I hope to see you again soon," and with that, she waved back exaggeratedly and turned to then walk on into the depths of the gardens.

4th October; In the courtyard with Filix
Session Plot: We shall see!
Participants: Anyone who may wish to join
Setting: Courtyard
Ursa wandered around quietly, she had just headed out for some fresh air, the chambers grew stuffy so she thought some exploring was in order.
She had ended up in the courtyard, hands aside her, padding along quietly, pondering. Her hair sat neatly on her shoulders, she looked wide awake, as it was the morning, a bit early, not too early, the fog had left.
The sun glanced down on Ursa, she turned into some shade and rested there, looking around, watching. Filix walked through the gardens towards the courtyard, content and calm. She'd finished her training, her sword was conceled, and she was getting better bit by bit.
And she hadn't run into any of the teenage males of the court, even better.
The courtyard came into veiw, and Filix paused in the middle of it, glancing around the sun filled area. It was really quite beautiful, and peaceful, she mused, while she smoothed down the dress. There was no land as pretty as her own. Ursa nodded toward Filix, she then slowly wandered out the shade, and into the heat of the sun, "Hello!" she said softly, looking up at the fey. Her bangles made a clink like sound as the swung her wrist behind her back.
Ursa looked down at the ground for a moment.
Filix waved to Ursa, turning around to make her way slowly over to the girl. She grinned at her, and flopped down on a grassy patch nearby. "Hello Ursa, how have you been lately? I havn't seen much of you lately."
She wrapped her arms loosely around her legs, enjoying the warmth of the sunshine. She smiled, "Fine thank you, and yourself?" she paused but continued without an answer, "I was hoping, i'd be able to meet you here..."
Her eyes narrowed.
"I'm wonderful today, quite peaceful... oh? You were, why?" Filix shifted, her tone going slightly wary and curious. That was strange, no one tried to meet her anywhere... not that she minded too much? But it wasn't something that happened to her often. "To give you..." she paused fidling around with her hands behind her back, "these," she pushed both palms forward and on her right lay;
and on her left;
Sweet scented smells filled the courtyard as Ursa handed them overFilix took both of the jars, her hands soft as she placed them both in her lap, then lifted one at a time to inspect both of them. "I love them, they're beautiful! But why did you get me gifts? I don't really deserve either..." She smiled, "You do so deserve gifts!" she giggled a little and looked back at the jars, "Of course you do!" her eyes wandered Joy as the yellow colour lit up her face.
"What do they do, do you know?" Filix cradeled joy in her hands, feeling ever slightly more happy as she stared at the bright colors inside the jar. And she was already feeling happy! Ursa shrugged almost at once, "Iam not sure," she sighed and pondered on it. "Take a sip of one?" her eyes wandered love, the red smelt beautiful, like roses sitting, waving in the wind.
"Do you think that would be safe?" Filix asked, peering into the rose scented one. It looked safe enough, but even if it was safe... it didn't mean it was. "I should ask Aes... he might know a lot about potions..." She eyed both, "Yeah maybe you should ask him," she looked at Filix again, "Hm..." Ursa was thinking now, staring at Filix in thought.
"I probably should... hm?" Filix glanced up from the bottles at Ursa, and patted the grass beside her. "You can sit with me, if you'd like, Ursa. What's on your mind anyway?" She moved to sit beside Filix, "If you don't mind me asking so then..." she paused and thought about it, "You know its rather early don't you? What are you doing out at this time?" Ursa quite frankly -was- curious.
"It is early, but it's also quiet. And Rosa free." Filix grinned, and shrugged. "When better to take a walk, than early in the morning?"
She of course, didn't reveal the conceled sword... "Why do you avoid Rosa?" she asked curiously, "If I may ask of course..." she looked at the ground, before back up at Filix, her mouth in neutral state.
"You ask a lot of questions." Filix commented, but lightly, as if she didn't mind. She didn't mind after all, but there weren't many as curious as Ursa. "It makes life easier to avoid her, sometimes. Less arguements, and so on." Ursa nodded, "Ah.. I see," the sun was rather hot now, it seemed almost mid-day. She eyed the potions once more before looking back up at Filix, -she decided- not to ask anymore.
The sun was nearly hot enough to give Filix burnt skin by now, and the last thing she needed was a tan. Besides, the glass around the bottles was growing hot, and Filix didn't want to do any harm to the potions inside.
Leaning over to give Ursa a hug, Filix told her, "I think I should place these safely in my chambers. I'll see you again, Ursa, goodbye!"
She waited for Ursa for a few moments, then made her way back to the castle. Ursa paused, before calling, "Tell me how you get on with them," she looked around once more, before turning about and following after Filix, on her way back to her chambers.

5th October; Things go slow..
I have written to Equus, arranging a possible hunt with him and myself, in the near future... My handwriting isn't of the neatest but I tried my hardest to make it look pretty and neat, I hope he is able to read it.
It will be nice to meet another fey, I can't be sure If i've met him already...It seems too long ago...My memories hazy of the time when I was released from that imprisonment... No. I must not think back, or my thoughts will become paranoid...
But merely go on.
Yesterday was very interesting, I escaped the chambers for some time to myself, sometime to think and explore, but I did bump into Filix, she seemed almost startled when I gave her the potions I'd found, I had planned on experiamenting with them... But I gave them to her... A present for being a friend.
Filix is seeming to have become overly secretive, Its hard to describe but you can tell, shes got something going on, behind the smiling face and kind person she always has been... I hope shes okay... I really do...
I must leave you now, for I'm to go take rest...
-Ursa.

7th October; Being Intoduced to Celenis
Muris scampered down the rope ladder hurriedly-- she'd been up practicing her letters and spelling, and now she was late for feeding the horses! Quickly, she dashed to the feed room and grabbed up some hay to tide them over until she finished mixing up the sweet feed for them.
It wasn't long before the little mouse had her job accomplished and all the horses were munching contentedly. She settled on a bunch outside of Alucina's stall and watched the horse eat.
Ursa yawned as she made her way to the stables, she'd decided to pay a vist to Muris who she'd longed to meet again.
Both hands drooped down, she wandered slowly, admiring most things she passed.
She stopped right in front of the stables and looked around in an unsure manner. "M-Muris?" she stuttered with a light tap on the wall.
The mouse blinked. Had she heard tapping on the stable door? How odd. Everybody knew the stables were open to anyone. Even her room, really, was, since she had the rope ladder always going down to the floor of it.
She hopped up off the bench, making her way to the other end of it to peer out the door,
"Ursa? Y'know y' kin come in whenever y' want, right? It's a free stable..." Ursa slipped in and smiled at Muris, "Sorry," she paused and blinked, "I didn't want to interupt you, I knew you'd be in here, busy away.." she looked around quietly, wandering further and further in as the door creaked closed.
The mouse smiled, shaking her head,
"Naaaah. Even when 'm workin' people can still run 'bout 'n stuff." Her silver curls fell about her eyes a bit, and she pushed them out, so she could see better,
"What's up? Oh! That bunny you were helpin' me with got fixed up just fine! I let 'im go back out into the wild the other day." She smiled, listening, she admired Muris's voice, it made the atmosphere seem warm and fun. "Oh really?" she grinned proudly before blushing, "Thats great to hear!" her rosey cheeks darkened.
Muris smiled, waving around at the horses,
"'m pretty glad 'e did, too," she said, "'ve got my 'ands full with these guys, nowadays. Gotta feed 'em and walk 'em and I ride Alucina a bit. Not too much, 'cause she's still a bit big for me...."
The horse heard her name and put her velvety muzzle over the stall door, wuffling at Muris affectionately and the little mouse ran down the hall to her, scratching between her ears and stroking her nose gently,
"But she's a great horse." She smiled and looked over to Alucina, taking a step or two forward, "Indeed she is... beautiful.." she admired from a far, not sure about getting that close.
Muris nodded,
"She's really sweet, too," she said as Alucina wuffled at Ursa, the horse looking more kind than unnerving, certainly.
The horse in the stall next to Alucina shuffled anxiously, poking his head out over the stall, and the mouse giggled,
"Looks like he likes you too," she said as the other stamped impatiently and snorted at Ursa.
"He wants ya to get closer!" Ursa nodded, before blinking at the suggestion of moving closer. "But Muris..." she whined taking a step back.
"I don't know...I mean..." she tried to think of an excuse, but decided to give up, her only option was to be brave. She waved out her left hand and took a step forward, being paused by the horses snort.
Muris grinned, and Alucina whickered for her to keep scratching. The mouse quickly moved her hand back between the horse's ears, in the spot she knew Alucina like best,
"See? I told ya 'e liked you!" she cried as the horse moved his head forward to bump against Ursa affectionately,
"'e's really pretty nice." Ursa grinned and looked at Muris, "Hes really nice... whats he called?" he eyes wandered his beautiful colour and she patted him softly.
She shook her head,
"The ones who don't have owners don't have names," she said, a little sadly. Maybe she would start naming them-- it felt kinda weird taking care of these magnificent creatures and not being able to call them by name. Still, she could easily distinguish between them all, so it wasn't as though they didn't have individuality. Just not..names..
"So soon as someone claims 'im 'e'll have to give 'im a name." Her mind raced and before she knew it, "I'll take um!" popped out. She blinked and looked up at Muris before nodding to confirm. "Yup.."
Muris blinked,
"What? Y'mean you wanna claim 'im?" she asked, startled. Usually it took a little while at least before one of the Fey decided to claim a horse,
"Well..that's great! Now you'll hafta think of a name for 'im, though!" She blinked once more, eyeing the horse. "Celenis." she stated firmly, before nodding toward Muris. She grinned and patted Celenis, muttering something too quiet to be picked up on. is giggled. Well, it seemed that when Ursa decided on something, she decided it and that was all there was to it.
"Celenis sounds really good," she commented, smiling warmly,
"D'you wanna take 'im out and walk him 'round a bit? He's a bit big for ridin' jus' yet..." She nods slowly, "Yeah why don't we go outside, you could bring Alucina couldn't you?" she grinned at Muris, before tugging at the side of Celenis gently.
Muris nodded, clipping a lead line to Alucina's halter and opening the stall door to let the beautiful filly out. Grinning, she led the horse out of the way so that Ursa could get Celenis,
"We can just take 'em for a bit of an exercise walk-- they haven't had one yet this mornin'." "Okay!" she tried to copy Muris on Celenis, with little sucess, Celenis helped though, by lowering its neck for the clip and such. She then followed on after Muris, repeating the "Okay"

8th October; the faerie on the windowsill.
Ursa woke up today, she opened the windows and sat down in front, gazing around. She was struck by a red object fluttering gracefully towards her, it sat on the window sill, gazing toward Ursa, wings beating up and down.
The sound was beautiful, it had Ursa tapping her foot off the wodden floorboards, she gazed at the small faerie happily, before it whispered something too soft to recall, before dashing off into the distance...
The music fluttering after it, getting softer and softer, until nothing was heard, Ursa left staring behind it, before dashing to record the event in her notepad.

15th October... Ursa the teen? Lilium out for a stroll Participants:Whomever comes about *Lilium out for an evening stroll finds herself in the garden. She gazes up at the windows of fey yet to be freed.* Some day my kin. Someday you too will be freed. *she walks through the Rows of flowers taking in the wonderful scents before sitting down at a bench*Seeno -Ursa- who had retreated from her chambers for some fresh air, was strolling the gardens as well, it was becoming her favourite place, a place where she could let her thoughts run through her head and be carefree...
She glanced around, as she strolled on, the smells were beautiful, the garden always made her feel welcome, but she wasen't alone, a fey sat on the bench ahead- was that Lilium? She had never layen her eyes on her before.
She walked on and quietly approached the bench... When reaching, curtsaying, "Hello.." she murmered, being her shy self. *Washu* Hello Ursa. How are you this evening? *Lilium got up as she spoke to greet the young fey.* I find the gardens a lovely place to sit and contemplate things. What brought you here? Seeno Ursa blinked, but remained smiling, "I'm good thank you, yes, the gardens lure me here... To sit, intake the beauty and remain tranquil," her eyes met with Lilium's for the first time.
But when her eyes did meet hers, Ursa was wrapped in a almost -blanket like- cover of pain, she then wrapped her arms around herself as the pain ran through her body, a almost bright light was now casting over her, the light dazzled the gardens, the roses petals swaying a little, slowly as the light dimmed, there, left standing, blinking toward Lilium, was the teenage Ursa.
*Washu* Oh my. Ursa?! *Lilium moved to the changed girl and took her in her arms* It's ok. THe pain will subside. *she holds her tryiong to comfort her* Seeno Ursa blinked at Lilium, smiling tiredly as the final lashes of pain swept away from her body. She remained in Liliums arms. *Washu* I think we best get you to bed for some rest Litt.... *She stopped herself. after all she wasn't little anymore* Ursa. *she helps her up and helps her to her chambers.* You'll feel better tomorrow. I promise. Seeno Ursa pushed back a strand of hair and straightened up, before nodding, "I shall... Thank you Queen Lilium, I'm sorry you had to see me like this..." before smiling, once reached the chambers, "Thank you.." she pushed the door open and glanced back at Lilium, then shutting it behind her...
