Welcome to Gaia! ::

Armus grinned at the baby. "She's cute. Is she a Second as well? I know there aren't many of us left there."

Earendil looked down at Lin for the answer to that question. It was one he hadn't asked, himself. Hadn't thought to ask. To him, it didn't matter: she had a daughter, what did it matter which world it came from?

"It'll be interesting to find out," Armus grinned. "Anyways, I have to run, maybe I'll see you around! Have a good visit!" And with a wave, she was off, running across the yard.

Earendil turned to Lin. "She didn't say if it was the first door on the left or the right," he commented, blinking. "Second floor, and first door in one direction or the other."

"Let's hope so," Earendil smiled. He stepped forward and opened the door for the barracks, and held it open for Lin. Surprisingly, it was not dark inside: there was a window at the end of the hallway that let in enough light for them to see where they were going, as well as the fact that there was a stairway at the far end of the hall.

"Well, that's convenient," Earendil grinned.

Earendil laughed. "Well, if there hadn't been a window, you still have this," he grinned, tapping the flower he had given her lightly. "And even with the light, it is helping."

They reached the stairs quickly, since they could walk faster in the light, and headed up the steps. Once they reached the top, there was a long hallway down the center of the building with doors on each side.

"Left or right?" Earendil asked Lin, looking at the two nearest doors.

Earendil stepped forward and knocked obligingly. It was a moment before the door opened, and instead of Daeron, it was a tall, black-garbed man with piercing blue eyes.

"Yes?" he asked, looking at Earendil. The light of the glowing flower drew his attention to Lin, and he looked at her and blinked, startled. "You!" he exclaimed. "You are here as well?"

Earendil blinked at the man. "Uh ... Lin ..."

Corrah nodded slowly, fidgeting slightly as he watched Lin. "I see," he said softly. "Have a good visit then."

And he nodded politely at the two of them and closed the door quickly.

Earendil frowned at Lin. "He seemed scared of you. What was that about?" he asked, turning towards the other door and knocking.

"Ah, I see," Earendil nodded.

Just then, the door opened, and Daeron, looking very much like his brother, appeared.

"Earendil!" he cried gleefully, throwing his arms around his brother and hugging him. "You finally made it! I was wondering when that was going to happen!"

He laughed. "And Lin. Welcome to you, too. It's been a long time since we've seen each other. And this of course must be the daughter I've heard so much about."

He grinned at Miyuki. "Hello there, little one."
