Welcome to Gaia! ::

Taking a chance - a slight one, since he was well hidden in the darkness of the torchless corridor - Earendil stopped his magic so that he could listen more closely.

Tinuviel, were she here, would have been having a lot of fun with this, he thought with a wishful grin. Then again, she would have been cheating, more than likely, going through walls and scaring the poor kid with her giggling.

She had a habit of doing that.


In Lin's hand, the flower grew steadily more purple, though it grew no brighter.

Earendil heard the shuffling of feet right on the other side of the wall against which he was plastered. Had he left any signs, he wondered, in that hall?

Or had he even come through that hall? He blinked. It appeared that Lin had found an alternate route to his hiding place ...

Well, at least if she looked through the doorway into the corridor he was hiding in, she wouldn't be able to see him right away. It was pitch black in there, and he was skinny enough not to stick out from the wall too much. Even without using magic.

Earendil spotted Lin peering down the hallway and stayed absolutely still. He watched as the flower in her hand - though it wasn't bright by any means - grew to be as purple as anything he had ever seen. Odd ... he had never seen any of his magicks do that before. Then again, he had never given away his magic to anyone who he had meant to find him before.

It flashed red once, and he blinked in silent surprise. It was seeking him out for her!

Earendil chuckled silently, inwardly, an idea forming in his mind. Perhaps it was time to see if the rest of his magic worked as well as his flower did.

He started humming softly, and again it was not manifested as sound, but as an image. Directly across the hall from the little girl, a silhouette appeared or glowing blue fire, just as Earendil himself had appeared when they had been going up the stairs. Of course, it was nothing more than illusion - though it looked just like him.

Earendil was pleased - his illusion was working.

At least - it was until his stomach growled, and he stopped singing in surprise. The image dissipated, and he became visible, standing almost but no longer completely hidden in the shadows.

Yue was use to sharing a room with someone seeing as he had been raised almost joint to the hip with Yukito up until they were teens. He nodded, "I would not mind," he replied.

At least it was with Triton, that he could deal with easily.


Mia from where she was nodded, "Thank you," she was clean and quite happy with herself, and in the heat Alice had dried fairly quickly.


Lin whirled around, the sound was hard to miss, she didn't even get to see the illusion disappear. She did however get to see Earendil, or what little she did see in the shadows. Quickly as she went, she came back running over to Earendil.

"Are you hungry?"

"Arrangements are fine," Donovan murmured, seeing as he had no trouble iwth it.

He shouldn't, he had a room to himself, and while he didn't mind sharing with Triton or Yue, he figured the way it would be arranged was for the best.

"It really makes me wonder how we all fit in here, back when we lived with Mother and Father," Elrohir remarked dryly. "Here we are, five of us having to double up, when we used to have nine of us kids, plus Mother and Father, plus Lex and Laer and Nadya, and as I recall the only doubling up was by Mother and Father, and Lex and Laer."

He chuckled.
