To be honest, Shiro couldn't say for certain that he knew what the fighter had meant - but he did have something of an idea.
"Well, he's one of the men that guards the ranch, right?" he asked. "So if he's not on guard right now, then perhaps he will be in the morning, and so if someone wants to see him they would have to wait until the afternoon to do so, doesn't that make sense?"
It did to him.

"Same things, same lessons," Ryu replied, "Though.. I don't know if Tao came back from getting her dinner, but mother brought a griffin this time around."
Unless Amdir already had seen Tao, and he was generally good with animals and Tao was very friendly, he was sure the two got along fine.

Lin mused on this, the logic was sound she would had to admit as they went down the stairs and down the hall towards the door.
"Though it sounds like he's expecting us," Lin replied, "And he tends to know a great deal, though I guess if Adan comes tomorrow I'll be going to see him...."
Though she wasn't overly sure, maybe Shiro was just right, it was just to say if someone was going to see him they could tomorrow afternoon.

Shiro nodded thoughtfully and turned to Miyu. "Do you spend a lot of time with him?" he asked softly. "Like today, you spend the entire afternoon with him ... if you do that regularly, then it would make sense that he would expect you tomorrow as well."
"As well," Ura echoed with a nod - but then the little demon glanced up at Lin. "Adan?"

"Yes," Amdir grinned, glancing at Aliya. "She's sweet. Kara said that she might stay here and watch the children, once she's been properly trained. Now that I've met her, I think it's a wonderful idea - though we will have to make sure she knows the difference between friend and foe."
"We got to ride on her, Ada!" Adwin exclaimed from where he was hanging around Feng's neck. "Just like she was a horse! And she was all bouncy and soft and it was fun!"

Lin grinned at Ura, "Adan is Aliya's son, and Aragost teaches him all sorts of things like tracking, fighting and I think hunting too. So if he goes with Aragost I go too, because those are things I could use in the future."
She didn't want to be after all those people that Daeron seemed to have issues with. People who should not be travelling at all.

"You did now?" Feng grinned, "She's quite nice isn't she? Feng and Ryu use to ride her when we were smaller, only because we couldn't walk all the time."
She grinned, that had been fun times.
"That is good to know," Ryu replied, "She tends to be friendly around everyone, but she has been raised around all sorts of people."
Miyu thought about it, "Sometimes, but Lin spends time with him too, Aragost teaches her things that she trains for, I don't go with them on those days. I don't like to go up on mountains and stuff like that."

Shiro looked somewhat puzzled. "I didn't know you had been up on a mountain before," he couldn't help but comment. "I imagine it must be fascinating ... though difficult to travel ... the terrain must be treacherous ..."
His expression grew thoughtful, and his eyes unfocused.
Ura grinned at Lin. "Adan," he said again, nodded. "Good to learn things."
He paused. "Maybe I should learn, too," he murmured, glancing up at Shiro.

Amdir chuckled softly. "I can imagine, if Lin's original size was any indicator," he agreed. "And I imagine that your magic might not have manifested yet then, and that you would have been unable to walk on legs?"

"Pretty much," Ryu admitted, "Granted it didn't stop Feng from trying to get out of the water."
Those had been interesting times to be honest.
"Even when we could, we couldn't hold it for long, took too much energy," Ryu mused, "At least we learned the right way to fall by the time we were old enough, that or our skin had toughen up."
He could hear his sister giggling at that.

"It is difficult," Lin admitted, "But we aren't alone so it's fine. If you both want to come along the next time Adan goes, you can. Aragost doesn't mind teaching..."
And really it was for their own good that they learn she thought as she exited the barracks.
There Donovan was waiting for them.
"Ready to head back in?" he asked the group of children.

Shiro smiled at Lin, his ears pricking straight up with pleasure.
"I would like that," he agreed cheerfully. "I would like that very much."
As they reached outside, he grinned up at Donovan. "Hello, Grandfather! Time for dinner, right?"
"Dinner," Ura repeated with a grin.

"Well, kids are made for falling down," Amdir laughed. "Alyse would know all about that, she hada harder time learning to walk when she was younger. Right, Alyse?"
He cuddled with his daugher, who looked completely clueless. Of course, memories from that age were rare if nonexistent, so it was no surprise that she really didn't remember.
"Anyways," Aliya put in, "you should wash for dinner, Amdir. Shael will have it ready any time now."
Alyse giggled and slid off her father's lap. "Go wash, Ada," she told him, tugging on his hand to get him to stand up.

"I better go too," Ryu murmured.
Since he had been playing with Tao, it was perhaps for the best he thought as he rose from his seat.

Donovan nodded, "Haradhel was getting ready to make it went I left so by the time we get back and wash up it'll be just about ready. So let's go."
He didn't need to usher them they knew where they were going so he set off in a slower pace than usual to make sure none of them get left behind.
