Niyana's hands moved to lace her fingers with his smiling down at his hands, "You distracted my anger at his words...and thank you for saying I am not just your woman." She lowered her head to kiss his finger tips. I am very sorry I jumped like that...and you should have been the main talker....I should have trusted you more....its just...I thought that you thought I was some fragile little thing..I guess."
Her cheeks were colored pink and she felt so silly for getting so anergy at a gesture that was truly ment with love.

Celebor held her hand tightly and hugged her close.
"It was my first time in a situation like that," he told her softly. "I didn't really know what to do. I'm glad you spoke up."
He lay down then, still holding Niyana against his chest.
"The next time something happens," he murmured with a faint smile, "we will face it side by side. I promise."
He brushed her hair away from her face tenderly.
"Now," he murmured, "we should sleep."

Niyana smiled an wanted to turn to face Celebor but new it would be best for them all if she was not facing him if Corrah returned before they woke up. "We will face everything side by side, heart to heart, and soul to soul my love."
She was glad she had not ruined his view of her, yet again. "Sleep well my love."

Celebor smiled and pulled her closer.
"Sweet dreams, my warrior princess," he murmured softly, extinguishing his fire and leaving them both in darkness. With the roar of the waterfall lulling him peacefully, he was soon asleep.~~~~~ By the time the sun rose, Corrah was already on the bank of the river, next to the waterfall. He had returned home to sleep and come back early, and now he was examining the tracks that were everywhere around the ledge. Mountain lion, yes, bear, yes, foxes, wolves ... all at different times, of course, but they had all been there.
He rose and lifted his face towards the rising sun, the cold blue of his eyes matching the blueness of the sky. It would be a beautiful day ...

Niyana slowly woke up and moved herself from the protection of her mate arms before moving to the waterfall's edge and looked out seeing the dark cloaked figure she moved back in and gently shook Celebor's arm, "Love he is back...we better get going."
She moved back to the waterfall's edge and smiled waving her hand, "Good morning Corrah sir....Thank you again for letting us stay and coming again this morning."

Celebor woke at Niyana's touch and yawned, stretching, before crawling after Niyana. He was glad that their misunderstanding of the day before had been worked out, and he was looking forward to spending the day with her once more.
Corrah glanced at Niyana as she greeted him, and he merely nodded his head at her. He really didn't know what else to do. How many times did he need to be thanked, after all? Still, he wasn't going to discourage her politeness, after all it was much better than her first words to him had been.
"Were you looking for something in particular?" he asked, hands hidden in the folds of his robes. "Or were you just wandering around?"

Niyana again was not very happy with Corrah's tone but she forced herself to remain quiet. She looked at Celebor and moved to let Celebor to Corrah. She nodded her head saying he was allowed to speak for them. She wanted to remain polite.
She stepped out onto the shore and looked around the beauty of this area in the morning light.

Celebor crawled out of the little cavern and joined Niyana on the shore, stretching the kinks out of his limbs. Corrah had been right ... it was a little cramped in there ... but it had been comfortable enough.
"Good morning, Corrah," he said to the man, rubbing the back of his neck. "Sorry, I didn't hear your question ... what was it?"
Corrah stared at Celebor for a moment, half wondering if he was being toyed with. He didn't like being toyed with. But the man had been inside the cavern when he'd asked his questions, so maybe he really didn't hear ... despite his elvish hearing.
"I asked, are you looking for something in particular?" he repeated himself. "Or if you're just wandering. Maybe I can help you find what you're looking for ... if you're looking for something."

Niyana smiled watching Corrah. She could feel her lover working out the soreness of his body. He shook her head and laughed, "Well we were looking for a good place to train our children...." she then chose to be quiet. She didn't want to say anything bad or miss leading again. Things were too touchy again.

Corrah's interest was aroused by Niyana's words.
"Train?" he repeated softly, lowering the hood of his cloak to reveal a badly scarred face, and without the shadows around his face his eyes didn't seem quite as frightening or intense.
"Train ... how?"
His voice was only curious now, and there was no trace of hostility.
Celebor blinked. This man obviously knew how to take care of himself, would he perhaps be a good trainer? He seemed interested, at the very least ...
"Physical training," he said softly. "Endurance, speed, agility, defense ..."
He looked to Niyana to see if he had left anything out.

Niyana smiled and wanted to jump up and down, though she didn't, at the fact that she seemed to finally get this man interested in something and almost seeming friendly. Her eyes moved over his scars to his jet black hair and elven ears. She felt a slight ping of being the odd ball again but let it pass.
"And some emotional and mental training. To get them ready to face the world and be prepared for anything that could happen to them. We were trying to find a good spot to teach them what we know at least. But we would not mind finding professional trainers."
She laughed her warm laugh and smiled at her mate, "After all mine skills were self taught and I don't think it would work well for the little ones."

"And I've had professional training," Celebor added, "but I wouldn't trust myself to train anyone else, as much as I would love to spend the time with my own children."
He paused. "Would you perhaps consider training them? There are four ... two girls and two boys ..."
Corrah blinked, slightly surprised by their request ... though he knew he would indeed be able to train them up well enough, if they could handle him.
"I have ... taught before," he said slowly, running his fingers through his long hair, for the first time looking a little lost, "but ... only once ..."
Could he do it again? He was certain that he could ... yet he would have to talk to Armus about it first ...
"Perhaps," he murmured, "if I could think about it ... and meet you back here tomorrow? Perhaps ... bring the children along ... and I can meet them ... see if they would even want me as a trainer ..."

Niyana smiled brightly at him, "Of course we can bring them up. I am sure they would love to see the new environment and face." She twirled the end of her braid. "Though one is around um....soft I guess would be the best words and another is pretty hard to handle at times."
She smiled at Celebor, "And the girls are pretty good. But yes we can bring them up and you can tell us then if you will be willing to train them. I think someone who has experience training anyone would be best."

Corrah nodded thoughtfully. The soft one, he wasn't sure if he could do anything with ... but the difficult one would be his pleasure. As for the girls ... well ... he had his doubts, but he had had doubts about a girl before, and she had turned out plenty okay.
He nodded again, more certainly this time.
"Very well," he murmured. "I will meet with them tomorrow and I will tell you then of my decision."
He paused. "Is there anything else you wish of me for today?" His voice was soft, kind, but he was eager inside to go back to his home and think about the decision that he had to make.

Niyana blushed and shook her head, "No sir...we have already taken too much or your time, please just show us the best direction to return to the bottom and we will see you about the same time tomorrow."
She bowed to him and remained looking at the ground for a bit.
