"Ah...." it clicked in with Donovan, "I see, where that could be a problem."
He shook his head with a small smile, he knew a few cousins that were like that actually. Though he had a feeling that Aliya had no idea. Oh well, he just hoped that none of the Seconds noticed, they were quite pragmatic about mates.

Elrohir grinned at Donovan, then turned back to Aliya and nodded. "It should be, anyways, we've only just finished the tour of the ranch. Knowing Haradhel, everything will waiting for us, though." He grinned, then turned towards the house and beckoned for everyone to follow.

"Oh good," Aliya giggled. "I'm hungry." She turned to Feng and Ryu and took one of each of their hands and started skipping ahead, dragging them along. "Come on!" she laughed. "We need to wash first, and the sooner we're done the sooner we can eat! Besides, you haven't seen the house yet!"

The twins hurried along side Aliya towards the Ranch house, it was true they had not seen it yet. To Feng it was like a looming figure, she was got a better look at it earlier.

Donovan followed, as he nodded briefly at that, there wasn't much he could say on the matter. After all they had finished the tour, he mused as he kept his hands in his pocket.
Lin was hugging the hand that was in the pocket with her, it was a bit odd having a Second in one's pocket.
Otherwise the rest of the day was free, probably to wander around and get to know people while planning the next outing.

Aliya burst into the house via the patio doors and shouted, "Hara-dhel! We're he-ere! Is lunch ready?"
She turned back to Feng and Ryu. "Come on," she grinned. "The dining room is in here!" And she led them towards the large glass doors.

Haradhel rolled her eyes and laughed softly.
"And there goes all semblance of peace until the meal is over," she quipped to Cindy with a grin. "That girl ... I swear she has more energy than anyone I've ever seen before."

Feng giggled at Aliya's actions as she followed the other girl to the dining room dragging Ryu along with her. Ryu complied, but only because he saw no reason not to.
"I don't know... I've seen a few people come close," Cindy mused thoughtfully, "Though I know what you mean."

"Hi Haradhel! Hi Cindy!" Aliya said brightly as she entered the kitchen through the dining room. She took a long, deep breath through her nose and sighed, smiling. "It smells great in here!"
She led Fen and Ryu to a washbasin in the corner and washed her hands quickly, drying them on a towel hanging just to the side.

Haradhel smiled. "You always say it smells good," she murmured, though it was clear that she was pleased at the compliment. Then again, she had only been cooking for persons other than herself for two weeks, and she was glad that they enjoyed it.
"I guess it's time to bring everything to the dining room then," she murmured, taking the pot of potatoes in one hand and the platter of meat in the other. "Cindy, would you mind grabbing the bread and butter?" She nodded to where it was sitting on the counter.

Cindy sprung up from her seat and grabbed the late of bread and the butter for the mean. With a whirl of skirts she turned and carried the food that was requested of her out to the dining area where she had set the plates.
The twins followed her league, washing their hands one by one and drying it on the towel. Now that lessons were over Feng was more aware of the time passed, and Ryu noted that it had been a while since morning. Not to mention they hadn't eaten anything yet.

Elrohir led the others into the house and motioned for them to head on into the dining room. "I'm just going to run upstairs and get changed for a moment," he explained as he headed for the stairs.
It wasn't that he particularly needed to change, he was just getting a little hot wearing so much. But the mornings here were cool: summer after all was drawing to a close, and though the days were warm, the nights were far from it.
Haradhel set the food on the table, then started dishing it out onto all of the plates.

"This way," Aliya grinned, beckoning for Feng and Ryu to follow her as she headed back into the dining room. She took a seat at one of the set places and stretched.

Setting the bread on the table, Cindy waved at her two younger siblings (well nearly all of them were younger than her).
"Did you three have a good morning?" she inquired.
Ryu nodded, "We were able to get a lot done."
At least going through all the parts of a horse it felt like they managed to get a lot done. Though Feng was starting to show symptoms as they sat down for lunch of her usual hyper self. He kept a hand on her shirt to keep her from bouncing her bum so much.

"See you in a moment then," Donovan murmured as he headed with the other two to the dining room.
He took note of the people there, Cindy apparately had been busy, at least she had the look of someone who got a lot done. Aliya had normal energy levels and Feng looked like she might go off the wall at any second. The man took a seat and picked up Lin from his pocket, setting her down to the placing next to him.
