Welcome to Gaia! ::

But with Nadya not being used to travel or to this kind of weather, it was nearly three days before they actually reached the first of the elven watchtowers. Despite her quiet protests that she could have traveled longer each night, Gion refused to allow her to wear herself out or make herself ill. He made sure she was warm enough at night by giving her both his blanket and hers, as well as making sure she wore her cloak all the time, and sleeping next to her. He made sure she rested as much as she needed, ate when she needed, even if she waasn't hungry, and had lots to drink - but despite all of this, by the end of their second full day of traveling, she was already looking worn down and tired.

He told himself that he wouldn't bug her about it, but he couldn't stop himself from growing more and more worried about her well-being.

Earendil was still back at the castle, having fun playing with Lin and Nina. He still slipped away every morning without her for his training sessions, still stubbornly refusing to allow her to the top of the mountain which was so dangerous to one her size.

Sir Valdemar was still learning new things from Lin, and still refused to tell her how to get to the top of the mountain, where Earendil did his training. Though to be honest, he was proud of the way Earendil was managing to keep Lin away - he would have thought that the young prince would have given in and told her a long time ago.

By this time, Lin was comfortable running around the castle when she wasn't playing with Earendil or listening and practicing her characters with Sir Valdemar. Though she still wanted to be at the top of the mountain, but without knwoing where it even was, she couldn't begin to try.

She tried to get up earlier now that she was no longer suffering from a time difference, but that still didn't help matters much. Still, she was her fahter's daughter (as odd as the statement may sound), so she wasn't going to give up yet. So lo and behold her surprise when she saw another elf, whom she did not recongize, but recongized as not being a servant or guard walking down the hallway towards the tower. Curiously she stepped out into the wallway way to see him.. .and talk to him.

Triton nodded looking up from under his hood, he was so use to being okay with what he was while he was here, it was a bit weird having to confine his ears again like this.

At least he should be grateful for not having anymore catty features than that.

"I'll be relieved once we're through," Nadya murmured, lowering the cowl of her cloak for the first time in days and turning her face towards where the sun was supposed to be. She kept her eyes cloak and continued forward as if blind, but sensing her way with her inner Sight.

Elrohir jumped, taken by surprise for the first time in a very very long time. By the time it registered in his mind that it had been a child, he felt strangely shaken.

"Er ..." He looked around for whoever it was who had spoken, but he couldn't see anyone. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, then scratched at the back of his head, puzzled.

"Must have been hearing things ..." he muttered to himself in Elvish.

"Hey!" Lin shouted up, she pouted more as she tugged on his pant leg, it wasn't like his pants were going to fall off, she wasn't that strong after all, "What did you just say?"


Mia tucked her book away (she had brought her whole collection as she walked closer to Nadya, just because out of preference that to her would make more sense. It was like being with her mommy, only Nadya wasn't her mommy, but no one would know that.
