Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kara gave Donovan a look, he was normally good except on certain topics. However that was just the way Donovan was, and really she wouldn't have it any other way.

"Lore had been a life saver coming in by chance as he did," Kara told Adonai with a smile.


Lin nodded with a grin, "That's right, Cindy still does, but she does little else. I think she would like ti, for no other reason than to be able to do something new and to be able to spend time looking at all the plants here."

Knowing her sister.

Adonai smiled warmly. "Yes," he murmured, "they are indeed good for each other ... I don't pretend to know about Elnara's past, or Lore's for that matter, but I do know that he has given her a new life, and she him."

He chuckled softly. "I have to admit, though ... I can see his reasoning for wanting to stay at his work all the time ... I might be the same, if not for Shael."

He brushed off his robes. "And on that note, I must take Rhea back home for now," he smiled. "Shael will be expecting us already. We will be back tomorrow, though probably not for lessons for Rhea ... more likely for funeral arrangements."

He looked over at Donovan. "Did Celeborn already talk to you about that?"



"And Adonai would like it too," Halmir nodded. "He was so shy when he was a child ... Cindy was the only one he would really talk to. Like Adonijah and Rose, only ... not quite so bad."

Arthael slapped his arm. "You promised you wouldn't bother Adonijah," she reminded him in an annoyed tone that indicated she had to remind him of this often. "Leave the poor boy alone, it's no wonder he's terrified of people."

Donovan nodded at that, he had been told about that.

"Yes, he did. We'll be staying until the funeral is over," Donovan told Adonai, "No sooner, it would be for the best."

The dead needed their dues after all, no matter what world they lived in.

Lin tried not to laugh, she knew how it was. Sometimes Halmir needed a whack upside the head to get thigns through with him, but he was still a good guy, just well... sometimes things went in one ear and out of the other.

"Yes... yes he was, and I think Saki was under the table," Lin replied thougthfully, "But it's only normal, I haven't really met him until then. I don't go and visit Aliya like the way Feng and Ryu do."

"We'll see you later Rhea," Kara told the little girl.

Whether it be today or tomorrow it didn't matter, it would be just nice to have her back again.


Lin smiled at that, she thought it was neat how it all happened, though very unexpected.

"Well, I'm glad for him, I mean.. I remember when Miyu was like that..."

Well sometimes she was still like that, but at least she didn't skitter at everything.

Kara laughed hearing the question as the two were out the door. She looked up at Donovan in amusement, it was such an innocent question after all. Of course Rhea hadn't met Donovan until that moment.

Lin chewed her lip again trying not to laugh, Halmir had not changed at all that was for certain in more ways than one. She was going to have to agree with Arthael though, Miyu would run mi-ing and skittering all the way to Aragost's room. It wasn't Halmir's fault though that he looked like that... or that Miyu just happened to take after Jaseth.

She coughed, "Have you met Naida yet?" she asked changing the subject.

Lin shook her head and looked at Halmir, she could also see in her mind's eye the first time she had ever seen Arthael and Halmir together. It had been winter, in both Gaia and here... it was close to Christmas... Arthael had punched Halmir for his comments.

That had been so long ago now.

"I think Arthael meant in personality wise Naida takes after Feng," she considered it for a moment before resisting the urge to roll her eyes at Halmir yet again, "Should ask Feng to bring Naida, it's been a while since anyone here has seen anyone as small as I once was."
