Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Then where you would like us to start?" Lin asked, "Where we all come from? Where we've been on the continent we came from? Or maybe one of the islands we've been to?"

There was a lot, especially since Galanna admitted to not hearing much about other places.

Cradling the herbal drink between her hands, Lin nodded at this. That was probably good as any place to start. It did mean the most to them, true.

"Well... I'm from a place called Gaia," Lin started, "And Earendil and Dareon are from the Southland, on the continent known as the Four Lands, and Iorlas..."

She wasn't sure where she should say Iorlas came from, she might not have even started out in the Westland, and she glanced over at her.

Lin could not disagree with that. Even though everywhere they had been to was a bit different, but she could see the Four Lands in places she's been to. Here, with all the variety kind of reminded her of home, and at the same time it was so very different.

"It does, it's been quite a joy to walk through the city and explore everything," Lin nodded in agreement before taking a careful sip of her tea.

Her mind backed up and re-named it the herbal drink. In her mind, she thought that was an excellent name to bring back to the Four Lands if she ever wanted to introduce other people to the joy of 'tea'.

Lin wondered if that was why the rocking chair was out on the porch. Though her mind wandered to wondering if there were ways to help Galanna at least be able to see more of the city.

"If you don't mind me asking," Lin ventured, "How did you come to be immobile?"

She asked this softly, knowing that might not be an answer she would want to give. Depending on what the answer was.

Whatever Lin had been expecting, poison wasn't one of them. It made her... a bit sad that something like that had to happen. She wished there was a way to at least allow Galanna to see what was out there.

She nodded to where Aennan was pointing, "It's great that you're able to live close to the physician."

She looked back at Galanna.

"Is there anything though that maybe we can do to bring a bit of the outside world to you?" she really didn't know what, besides stories.

Lin smiled at that, it didn't matter that Galanna did feel sorry for herself at the beginning, it still made her a brave woman in Lin's eyes.

"Still, it makes you an amazing person," Lin replied softly, "Though, back to your initial topic, are there any questions or stories you'd like to hear from our homes or our travels?"

Lin chuckled a bit as she thought about it. Gaia was so... complicated sometimes, she never realized it until she began to spend most of her time in the Four Lands.

"That's a large question, I'll start with the first," Lin finally replied.

She thought about all the angels she knew growing up and she knew she was a bit of an odd angel. Second angels did not normally sprout wings, so she ditched that part of her explanation.

"My race are called Angels, our feathered wings and ability to actually fly with those wings is often what defines us. Like elves, there are many types of angels, some have more than two wings, they can come in variety of colours and sizes. Some of us grow gradually like any elven child you're familiar with, while others grow suddenly in stages and they tend to age very quickly."

Though not always she found, after all it took Toshiro forever to grow into an adult as far as a stage grower was concerned.

Lin shook her head but grinned from ear to ear. Galanna was quick, most people assumed or wondered if she was from Laurefalas before even thinking of another world.

"No, Gaia is actually the name of the world I come from, rather than the specific area I come from. Most people find that a bit hard to wrap their heads around the idea, so I've come to just describe it as my birth home or my homeland. Otherwise I end up confusing people," she admitted with a laugh.
