Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I would love to," Lore murmured.

Since he wasn't sure what he would be doing within these walls anyhow, so it would be good to just get out.

Earendil nodded to Lin and smiled. "Any time," he assured her. "He's always ... almost always around, and he loves it when you come to see him. He told me so. Besides, you said you have to practice your brush writing, and I know he would like to practice with you again."


Atalya looked thoughtful as she gazed back at Elnara. "How would you like to be split up?" she asked in return. "Do any of the children share beds? Do you share a bed with anyone?"

Lore knew that they would have separate rooms, but as for the children, "Storm and Starr are never apart," he ventured.

Though he didn't know how much the sleeping habits of each child might or might not have changed.

Atalya nodded thoughtfully. "So ... one for Lore, one for you, Idhril and Silvrendir, one for Serenity and Skye, one for Celebor, one for Storm and Starr ..."

She paused and looked up at them again. "I suppose, though, that you'd want to keep Storm near you tonight, so that you can watch him and make sure he recovers all right?"



Earendil nodded. "It's been quite a few years on this side," he agreed. "I know it's not that long from your world, but ..."

Elnara nodded slowly. "Yes, I think that would be a good idea," she agreed. "So ... perhaps Silvrendir could sleep with Celebor, then, or else I just might end up with a crowded bed - even knowing how big they are."

A single bed in the castle really was big enough for up to or even exceeding five people, if the need arose.

Lore looked curiously at Elnara, because he didn't see the different. What did was meant that by that did not know. Then agian it did not matter really, since they were staying here, which was excellent in and of itself.

Elnara blinked at her grandmother and nodded uncertainly. It wasn't altogether unexpected, but ... it was still startling. The guest wing rather than the residence.

She picked up Storm and allowed Starr to climb up onto her shoulder, and rose to her feet. "Perhaps we should put the children to bed right away, then," she suggested, stepping away from the table.

Idhril and Silvrendir in turn stood up on the table and reached their arms out to Lore so that he would carry them. "Papa!" Idhril called out in a sing-song voice. "Take us, too!"

Lin grinned up at Earendil in a mischeivious way, because he was right. She owuld fine a way, whether that was a good thing or bad thing was questionable.

"You're right."
