Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Wow you can say I'm such a bad mod....arggg horrible even. Well I have to say I have had such bad homework and color guard these days its been well...busy. Sorry for any inconvienence!!))

Haylin was greatly surprised when Luke draped his long cape over her shoulders, but then again she couldn;t be more glad. It was reall kind of him to think of her when he must have still been cold. While Lae was leading them all up the many small stairs up to her home she noticed a paticular thing. The girl named Terra seemed to be absent mindedly skimming the bark of the large tree with the tips of her fingers. While doing so, left a small patch of pretty light purple flowers. Haylin had grown acustomed to seeing the elves do some interesting stuff but when one of them, one of the students was able to do creepy un-natural stuff she had to ask about it.
Putting it in her mind to ask Terra about it, she walked silently through the small wooden door that marked the entrance to the tree house.

It was gorgeous, she expected the inside to be like a cave with not much light and small cramped spaces but it was neither. The whole room was bathed in a pretty red light that seemed to be emiting from lamps stategicley placed around the room. The room just had cozy written all over it. Also she noticed that the dense cold air that circled outside was now calm and warm inside this room. Just that factor lifted her spirits completely.

In her awed state she didn't notice that she was still wearing Lukes long cape. Turning to see where he had gone she spotted him near Terra and Jeni next to the tiny stairwell that led somewhere upstairs.
Wait wasn't Jeni still at Ichnel's house?
She must have arrived not much after the group had made it here.
Walking over to the little group of three. She carefully pulled the cape from her shoulders and folded as well as she could. When she looked up from her focus she noticed that Luke now was wearing only his doublet and open at that.
Dear lord....I dont quite remember him being so tone....
Shaking the thought from her head she put the now folded cape into both hands and handed it to him.

"I really appreciate you letting me borrow it. I have say without it, I would still be defrosting right about now."

She said, while trying to keep her gaze from slipping down to his open vest. Smiling up at him she took a deep formal bow, as the elves had done in greeting. When she finished she gracefully sat down making herself comfortable on the ground. She definitly had done enough standing for quite awhile.

Also dearly forgeting to ask Terra about the small purple flowers she produced from thin air.

Ichnel silently sighed as he walked away from the Lae's house. He so dearly wanted to stay with them and find out how they'd come to Bredia, but he had one more thing to do before he saw them the next day.

Quietly, so as not to be seen, Ichnel padded over to a thick copse of trees.

"Olath Dalninuk. Udos orn nin alu ulu l' Karliik Zhuanth Darthirii's delmah. Zhal'la dos jivviim ukta wun jala i'dol xor elgg ukta, dos orn kyorl ele l' Ilythiiri lar uns'aa natha kin ktonos...*" he called out, his voice hard.

He meant the threat.

He turned away and started along a path that would provide both shadowy trees and a direct path the village's Elder.

Ichnel walked casually along, many of the elves ignoring him or glaring at him with distaste. Ichnel told himself he was used to it by now, but there was pang in his chest each time he walked across the village. But as he walked, he found his mind drifting over to the new arrivals.

They were certainly shocked at his appearance, but it wasn't from him just being a dark elf. It was because he was an elf. He hoped that they would not come to see him as the other elves did, particularly Jeni and Valerye. It had been a while since someone could fight with him almost evenly and he was pleased as a lark that he'd found another of Earth. He thought of how Jeni's fighting style was was like her personality; forthright, powerful, and graceful.

"Jeni really does have such a lovely smile..." Ichnel mused, "and as for Valerye...I wonder if she would consent to lessons with me? Dragon Lilies do not really take to most people, even with those of Earth...oh well, I will ask tomorrow."

After a few minutes he arrived at the Elder's home. Becuase he was a frequent visitor, it wasn't strange at all for Ichnel to be there, even at this odd time of night.

Ichnel beckoned the other dark elf from the shadows with his left hand and said," Stay low and in front of me. I will introduce you to the Elder. You, however, will need to tell him why you are here should you wish to stay."

Ichnel rapped his hand on the door and patiently waited for a response.

((*"Dark Brother. We will now go to the Head Old Elf's home. Should you harm him in any way or kill him, you will see why the Dark Elves call me a kin slayer..."
So nice and cheerful Ichnel! heart ninja
BTW...Destiny, would it be alright if I RPed the Elder? Or do you want to do it? Please PM me when you decide!))

Terra listened intently to all that Jeni had to say. She found it so astonishing. Every other minute these elves were blowing her mind. After hearing that their own stories of an elf's prolonged life really were true, Terra was simply blinked in awe, not sure what to think. She was learning quickly that being open minded was key while they were here. It seemed that every time they turned around something else was said that threw all her thoughts of reality out the window. Here, things were so... different, to say the least.
She smiled to herself as Marael turned, exclaiming her own surprise at their ages. With all this talk of their 'short human lives', Terra was starting to feel a bit insignificant.
Terra noticed Haylin making her way over to them as well, folding Luke's cape in the process. She was still watching Haylin's face when the girl had looked up at Luke in surprise. Curious about her reaction she looked up at Luke as well, and immediately understood Haylin's embarassment as it became her own. Her cheeks flushed again and she tried to avert her eyes relatively quickly, but wasn't succeeding well. She found herself staring a little too long and finally ripped her eyes from Luke's open vest, only to turn her head and sit herself a few steps away on the floor.

'I had no idea you were such a hunk.' she thought to herself, trying to concentrate on other things.
Like where Noren was. She turned her head, careful not to look at Luke again, and found her wolf wasn't within the room at all. If he was in the house, she had a feeling he would be beside her. She sighed, knowing he could probably take care of himself just fine.

A slight breeze picked up Jao's long black hair, gently lifting it off his shoulders to dance around his tanned face. He surveyed the village with neutral eyes of a dull gray, taking in the new sight that was Bredia.
Shifting the knapsck on his back, the dark elf started through town at a clipped pace. He was eager to find the village head so he might go about getting lodging for the night without any incident. He'd made the particular faux pax before -skipping introductions with the head chief- and incidentally had been run out of the village that very same day. He may have spent only his first seventy summer in Shalondia, but that didn't stop most elves from viewing Jao as a threat.
Late night goers passed by, but the young man paid them no heed, keeping his head down and his eyes determinedly focused upon the ground. The last thing he wanted was another fight. He continued on this way for several minutes, until Jao finally admitted to himself that he really had no idea where he was going. Anxiously he glanced around, hoping for a friendly face that might be wiling to give him directions.

((I suppose I'll wait for you to finish then ^-^....))

There are no such things as coincidence.

There are no such things as coincidence.

Hearing Lukes daring comment she blushed yet still kept her gaze steady. Thinking of a cute way to retaliate, she smiled when the words came flying out.
"Assuming that if I did...hmm maybe...however, sadly that isn't the fact. I'm stuck in this crazy world wearing what I would call underwear."
Taking the long piece of cloth that hung in front of her legs from her waist she gently skimmed the edges shifting it into a better, less reveling angle.
Looking back up at him she smirked.
"I mean come on! This looks like one of those things that tribal guys wear!"

She stiffled a laugh and quickly moved on to remove her hair from the ponytail it had been in all day. Taking off the paticular piece that covered the tight purple strap that held her hair up. She took her time exploring the detail and finally finding the way to cause it to unclasp from its rooted spot. Setting the pretty metal peice on the floor next to her she untied the fancy knot that held the strap to her hair. When she finally did so she gasped, for her hair has silkier and much longer than it had ever been before. It used to lay cluttered and dense at her shoulders. Yet now her hair was long, long enough to now reach her waist. It was now light and beautiful. Mystified she ran her fingers though the feathery hair that seemed to have no weight. It was weird that its exactly how she had always wanted her hair to be. This was the type of hair she would watch other girls carefully brush everyday while she would stand far away jealous of something that was so stupid.

Aware now that Lae had stood up and was now streching she turned her attention to her gazing at the beautiful elf with a diffrent perspective. This elf had taken in a group that happened to be very diffrent than that of the people she was normally used to. Yet still she brought them to her home, fed them all and now was explaining as a sweet mother would. That she wanted them all to eat a nice dinner to be strong and fit for the tomorrow.

Haylin was grateful as ever, she decided now that Lae really did earn all of their respect, she hoped she wouldn't have to worry about the other students to be rude twords their new host. She knew that they most likely wouldn't be but still that would be just so horrible.
Her stomach rumbling, her nose had taken it upon its self to tell her that she really did think those Wolf Tears looked grand.
Standing up she streched very much like the way Lae did and grabbed quite a few wolf tears. She knew she couldn't eat all of them herself but she knew that many of the people around her would be hungry and she took the liberty upon herself to make the trip for them.

Upon returning to her spot next to Luke she started to absently nibble upon one of the tears while keeping it clear that the others could also take some if they wanted to.
Looking back up at Lae she noticed that she was no longer where she was before. It seemes the Elf was more tired than even them. The pretty thing that snozing in the tiny bed against the wall. It was nice to know that she trusted all of them enough to sleep while they were all awake still in her own room.

((Yeah erm...heh I was quite bored..^^; ))
