Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tinúviel's eyes lit up, and she laughed softly to herself. "After all this time," she murmured quietly. "So long ... and this is your family then ... except for Lin of course ..."

She laughed again and started walking forward, linking arms with Elnara to usher them all through the labyrinth together.

"Let's find Ninako first," she smiled warmly, her eyes sparkling mischievously as Elnara remembered Daeron's doing when he was younger, "and then we'll get everything sorted out."

It was too bad really that she couldn't take them all through the walls with her, it would have saved them quite a bit of time.

"You've just missed lunch," she informed them all brightly. "But if you need to eat we can get something for you." She giggled then like a child. "Ninako will be so pleased!"

Lore followed as he took Skye's hand so she wouldn't be left behind if there was some change she didn't hear about.

"That would be.... your, cousin I believe," he murmured softly.

At least that was what he gathered from the conversation.

"Only once," Tinúviel admitted reluctantly, some of her enthusiasm dying. "It was a long time ago ... the first time Lin came here. I didn't see Lin that time, though. But I got into so much trouble when I got home ... Ada won't let me go again, and for once Nana agrees with him."

She frowned. "I suppose I can understand why, but ... I want to see her again."

Lore chuckled a bit, "Yes, very much so," he agreed.

Though he knew that was about average height for most elves, at least the ones he and Elnara were familiar with.

Tinúviel opened the door for them and smiled, beckoning for all of them go to in.

"It's all right," she said softly, smiling reassuringly. "Ninako's not working in there today, you won't be interrupting."

She honestly hadn't meant to misinterpret her aunt's expression, but it was the first thing that sprang to mind.

She beckoned for all of them to pass through the doors.

Lore let Idhril sit on his shoulder so he could take her mother's hand once more. He himself was feeling a tad uncomfortable in this place, but it was more for the reason that it was far too grand. Much more than what he was use to, but for Elnara's sake he put on a strong stance. It was just grandness, castles he told himself were suppose to be grand.

Elnara smiled. Yes, she did want to see her grandmother first.

She looked to Lore and saw something - discomfort? - flickering in his eyes. She gave his hand a squeeze and smiled at him reassuringly.

"You look about as comfortable as I was when I first came to live here," she murmured softly to him. "I hated it." She laughed softly.

Celebor, as curious as ever, was already poking through the stuff that was laying around: books, papers, and maps, for the most part. He grinned to himself, eager to learn what it all meant.

Silvrendir wandered up to Lin and poked her arm to get her attention.

"How many times were you here before?" he asked her in his soft-spoken voice. His bright green eyes were filled with curiosity. He wanted to know more about this place and, unfortunately, he hadn't heard much about it at all - being so young and all.

Skye wandered up to her cousin, trying for the first time since their arrival to speak with her.

"Skye," she said first, pointing to herself by way of introduction. She spread her dark wings then folded them again, then smiled up at her cousin and pointed up at her. "What you name?"

No, that wasn't right.

"Your name," she corrected herself, smiling again.
