Taking the elderflower water, Gwenhwyfar downed half of the glass with a single gulp letting it settled her weary stomach.“Thanks.” She had said to Morgan handing him a few copper coins. She settled back on her stool, looking around to the other people in the room. That warforged seemed to hate magic users but who could blame it for the matter of its creation, despite the fact Gwen had nothing to do with it at all.
Feeling some one nudge her made Gwen come out of her mind to see the Aasimar sitting next to her. Gwen sighed “It was supposed to be a teleportation. It was supposed to hone in on where my parents are. They're somewhere out there. I mixed up the Hogweed and the charcoal with too much heat.” waving her hand towards the scorched ceiling “Less you'd be willing to take an apprentice, I'm a decent mage... never mind I'm a novice ,not able to do much of anything.” She said as she rested her hands on her bump.

Muttering nonsense under his breath, Morgan ducked into the kitchen and returned shortly to two steaming wooden bowls of soup which after collecting his coin he dispersed to the the fawn (Lydia) and the expectant witch (Ravia).
Morgan then eyeballed the stranger in the wolf pelt requesting his strongest beer. "You got the coin for that? Dwarvish beer doesn't come cheap..." He states as he picked out another pint glass to clean.

((Wee note: Gloria was talking to Lydia the fawn, who was leaning against a support beam in the tavern because she couldn't find a place to sit. But I’ll edit my post and just go with this now. cat_3nodding Sorry, I shall try to be clearer in future.))
Gloria glanced around the tavern and shrugged at the Amazon woman's query. "Depends. The tide ebbs and flows. Nothing special on that I know of tonight" the half elf admitted, "Just a lot of people needing somewhere to go. To relax and have some fun", she smiled, beckoning with an elegant flick of her hand for Elza to follow her. "Soup and water? Fine, not a problem. I'll bring them right out once we find somewhere and get you seated"
She lead Elza to a mostly unoccupied table, where sat the rather tall, hooded Mori, with the talking, moving dolly. There were three empty seats at the table and Gloria could only guess it was because of the woman's puppetry magic. A talking moving doll with no visible strings attached tended to scare some people.
Once again, Gloria spoke up. "Excuse me, sorry to bother you again miss but would you mind terribly about sharing your table tonight? Only it's crowded and well, if you wouldn't mind..." Gloria asked politely, glancing at Elza's pregnant belly. She had thought it might be nice for Mori to have some company too. But she'd ask before just letting someone sit there. Looking back at Elza, she gave another reassuring smile "That is, if you don't mind. This is the only table I spotted with a free chair" Gloria chuckled.
She looked around when she heard a loud shout, and spotted another customer who'd walked in. He was oddly dressed - was that a wolf pelt on his head?! And calling for their strongest beer. Gloria cringed at that, she hated dwarvish beer. The one time she'd tried it on a dare, she'd never lived down. Tammy and Ruby still teased her about it from time to time.

Mori looked up once more as Gloria spoke. She looked to the pregnant amazon and nodded. "S-sure, go a head." She said, her fingers pointed out from her cup and her doll jumped to life.
"We don't mind company!" It cheered, going over to greet Elza. "My name's Tilly and this is my puppet master Mori." Tilly motioned to Mori. "She doesn't talk too much, but that's ok I do enough talking for the both of us!" She said, extending out her little stuffed arm wanting to greet Elza with a hand shake.
(Oooops, I see where I made my mistaken assumption. Must have been half asleep reading. My bad, so sorry redfacesweatdrop Completely my bad there.)
Elza followed Gloria over the table with the girl and her magic doll. It wasn't too surprising that they were alone. She figured that it could be rather unsettling for some people. But it didn't bother her any, as long as both were friendly enough.
When the human girl spoke, Elza gave her a gentle smile. 'Hmm, obviously shy. Well, that's alright. Shy I can deal with.' When the doll greeted her, she couldn't help but laugh. The little thing was rather energetic and adorable. "Hello, Tilly. I'm Elza." She shook the doll's hand carefully, then glanced up to Mori. "It's a pleasure to meet both of you." She sat down in one of the empty seats. "Thank you for letting me join you. I've been doing a lot of traveling lately, and it's getting more tiresome recently. Are you two from around here?" she asked, deciding to try for a little polite conversation.

Tilly shook Elzas hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you too." She said. Mori and Tilly watched as she sat down, her hefty dome of a belly shifting as she got comfortable.
"N-no problem." Mori said, giving Elza a smile from under her hood.
"I imagine it would get tiresome, you're so big!" Tilly said, going over to the edge of the table and looking at Elzas belly.
"N-no, we're from out of town. W-we got here just recently. Wh-what about you?" Mori said, freezing up for a moment. "I-I mean, like, well, were you from here o-originally." She corrected her self.
((@Neptune Bride: don't worry about it, everyone makes mistakes =^.^= @ zerodeoxys: the name is super cute~ emotion_bigheart))
The half elf pushed a strand of hair back behind her ear and nodded thankfully to Mori's agreement,
"Thank you for your generosity" she said warmly, before looking back at Elza.
"And now that you have a place to eat, I'll bring out your order right away" With that, she disappeared back into the crowd, and reappeared after ten minutes or so balancing a laden tray, somehow managing to wend through the rowdy cheerful mass without spilling a drop.
Reaching their table, she set down another glass for Elza, along with a full pitcher of table water and a bowl of Diana's lovely soup. And, even though they hadn't asked for it, a basket of hot mini dinner rolls with a side dish of butter. They were fresh out of the oven and smelled delicious.
"Here you go. Anything else I can do for you ladies?" Gloria asked, her serving tray tucked under one arm, other hand resting lightly on hip. She seemed a little breathless, but happy even so.

Elza blushed a little at Tilly's comment, self consciously putting her hands on her belly. "Well, I've still got quite a way to go. I'm only about half way to my due date. But I suppose I am a bit bigger than normal. I believe I'm carrying more than one."
She then turned her head a little and lowered her eyes, looking rather sad. "No, I'm not. My village is a long way from here. I....I've left and I'm searching for a new home. Someplace where I can raise my babies in peace. Or at least, as much peace as is possible in this world."
She looked up when the half elf returned with the food. She was surprised by the addition of the bread, but grateful for it. She gave a smile. "Thank you very much." She turned to Mori and Tilly. "Would you ladies like a couple rolls? There's likely more here than I'll be able to eat."
Tilly tilted her head as she watched Elza put her hand on her belly. "o-oh, I'm sorry if, I upset you." Mori said, blushing some. She twitched her fingers some and Tilly took a step back. "I, hope you find a nice place, k-kids can be a handful, can't be f-fighting nature and chasing your kids a-at the same time." Mori said. Tilly took a few steps forward and looking at Elza's belly, staring like she was trying to watch for movement.
Mori looks over at Gloria as she comes over with Elzas soup and some dinner rolls. She looked to Elza and smiled as she offered her bread. "O-oh, sure thank you." Mori smiled. She reached over with her free hand and picked up a roll. She dipped it in her soup and let it soak for a second before eating it.
Once Mori swallowed the bite Tilly looked up. "Can I feel?" She asked.

Elza gave Mori a bit of a smile. "It's alright. I'm sure there are many people with...painful histories. I survived." Her lips twitched up just a little bit more. "Yes, they certainly can be, can't they? I looked after some of the children in my old village sometimes."
She was just pouring herself a glass of water when Tilly made her request. "Umm...sure. Can you reach from there?" she asked as she slid as close as she could manage.
"I-I see, w-was it fun?" Mori asked. Tilly reached forward, trying to reach. "I, used to play with kids back at my village too, I-I bet you can guess what I did." Mori smiled, looking to Tilly as she tried to reach Elza's belly.
"Maybe, I think, almost." Tilly said. When she couldn't reach she stood back up on the table. "ok, I can't reach." she waved her arms. "My arms are too short, is it ok if I jump over?" She asked

Elza smiled, her gaze turning inward just a little. "Yes, it could be. Of course, it all depends on the child. Some are little monsters and an absolute pain to look after. But then there are others that are absolutely little angels and make it all worth it."
She looked down at Tilly and chuckled a little, holding her hand out flat, making it a bridge between the table and her belly. "This might be a little easier for both of us, huh?"
Mori smiled and giggled some. "Heh, I know what you mean." She smiled, warming up to Elza more. She moved Tilly across the arm bridge. "I-I've, had my fair share of hecklers in my time."
Tilly climbed off of Elza's arm and started to rub her belly. "whoooo." she cooed, her voice a little faint since she was bit away from Mori. "It's so soft." she said, pressing some. "or maybe that's just my arms." She said, her arms squishing as she pushed and rubbed some.

Elza smiled a little. "Mmm, I imagine. You can't please all the people all the time. Children are the same. And they haven't always learned tact yet."
Elza looked down at Tilly climbing on her belly and chuckled a little but. "I think it's a bit of both. But there is my own skin and muscle, plus a bit of fat between you and my womb, and the bag of waters between that and the babies. But, if you press just right, you can feel them in there." Just then, she felt a little flutter of movement inside and smiled. "There's one of them there. Did you feel that?"
XXXXXXRavia listened to the elf's explanation and offer as she rubbed the huge expanse of her stomach. Ravia's eyes wandered down to the expanse of the elf's as well seeing she was also expecting a bit of kin. When Morgan brought Ravia soup the raven on her shoulder known as Noire cawed as he looked like he forgot the turkey leg for the familiar though Ravia didn't say a word about that. "Hmm Teleportation is usually an easy incantation or ritual." She said taking Gwen's hand to look at her palm gently tracing it with her index finger, Ravia's nail ticking it a bit. "When I was a trainee I was told if a teleportation spell doesn't work. Fate is sending you a message." Ravia explained reading the lines on Gwen's palm like any fortune teller would do without her crystal ball, now seeing the future was hogwash to Ravia. However seeing the lines of fate was different all together.
XXXXXXRavia kept reading Gwenhwyfar's palm for awhile before she spoke again as she chimed. "Fate indeed has a plan for you in Spring Fog. However whatever that fate is, you must discover for yourself. It's possible to teleport away the second time but you tend to miss the important." Ravia went to her soup and began to eat to settle the brood in her stomach as the familiar began to caw again wanting it's turkey leg. "As for your request at apprenticeship. To be my apprentice you have to be ready to be a little mischievous. I won't teach the uptight." She said accepting the elf as an apprentice so long as she is fun. As her familiar cawed more Ravia sighed as she stopped eating. "Morgan the turkey leg or Noire won't shut up." Ravia said petting the raven familiar for a moment.
