Following closely, Donovan thought about it. There really wasn't anyone else he could think of that he knew that he would like to see. Really there wasn't many he knew. He would have all the time to catch up with Celeborn so that wouldn't be an issue.
"Not at the moment no."

Ulrich smiled and nodded. "Then we might as well return to the house," he decided, picking up his pace a bit. "Especially me. If I'm not back in time for Ulani to make dinner at home, she just might kill me."
He chuckled.

"Well then," Donovan chuckled a bit, "Can't have that."
He might as well, give himself a bit of time to relax before going off again. He was very grateful he wasn't required to do this every day in his world. Kara would not be pleased with that at all.

"Ah, and we have to grab Amdir on our way in, too," Ulrich remembered suddenly. "He'll probably have a horse to put away first, though, so we can just tell him it's time to get home and then go ahead without him."
He opened the barracks door and stepped out into the late afternoon sun.

Peering up at the sky for a moment as he stepped out, Donovan nodded in acknowledgement. He had nearly forgotten that, even though the request had been directed at Ulrich instead of himself.
"Alright then."
Time seems to be passing quickly.

Instead of heading to the east, towards the house, Ulrich directed them towards the west, where the training pen was located. The moment they came around the corner of the barracks, they could see Amdir in the pen with a rather large horse, sending it around in circles, changing its pace as necessary.
"Amdir," Ulrich called out, careful not to startle either horse or man, "time to get home."
Amdir reached out and put one hand on the horse's neck before turning to face Ulrich and Donovan. Silently, he nodded his head to show that he understood, then replied in a softer tone than Ulrich had used, "Give me a few minutes to cool down this horse and put it away, and then I'll be along."

Donovan nodded as he watched Amdir work, before glancing at Ulrich. To see if he would rather wait for Amdir, or rather just go ahead like he had originally planned. He looked back to watch Amdir work with the horse in question.

Ulrich nodded and turned back to Donovan. "Right then," he nodded again. "Let's go. Our wives are probably expecting us."
And he started back towards the ranch house.

"Probably," Donovan agreed following Ulrich once more.
It did not take long to arrive to the Ranch house, and upon entering he could hear soft murmurings. Probably where they had left them, sort of anyhow.

Indeed Kara was still with Haradhel, she had finished adding whatever she thought the bags might be. She had Saki on her lap, whom she was petting since the children were out. Though she was beginning to wonder where Miyu went with Arwen.

Ulani and Aliya were still sitting with Kara and Haradhel, and they looked up at the men as they entered.
"You made it in time," Ulani grinned at Ulrich, her eyes sparkling mischievously as she rose from her seat. "Barely. Apologies, Kara, but I'm going to have to be going now."
And she smiled warmly at the angel before taking Ulrich's arm and taking him back outside as quickly as he had entered.
Aliya laughed, then grinned up at Donovan. "You remembered to ask Amdir to come in as well?" she asked him.

Haradhel was still in the process of preparing dinner, though most of the preparations were already complete. She had just finished putting the roast into the oven, and was taking a moment to relax with the other women.
Suddenly Ahren darted in from the door, wet from a bath, having come from upstairs. "Hi Donovan!" he grinned, running through the dining room on his way to the kitchen.

He paused in what he was going to say as he paused, watching Ahren dash off to the kitchen. He wondered when the boy got back, probably while they were out.
"Ulrich did remember," Donovan replied, "He's just cooling down the horse before taking it back in. He should be here in a few moments."
With that said he took a seat beside Kara.

Kara giggled at Ulani's comment as she waved good bye to the older woman. Well to be fair by this point all of the women around her were older than her, which was at times hard to wrap her head around. She leaned against Donovan the moment he sat down beside her.
"I hope you had a good conversation... you did talk right?"

Aliya smiled at Donovan. "Thanks," she said warmly, rising to her feet as well. "Then I'll get the kids ready to go. Did you see Adanedhel, by any chance?"
She paused, poised to leave, and waited for Donovan's reply.
