Welcome to Gaia! ::

Skye mimicked Lore's movements, first holding, then tossing the disc equally as gently as he did. It fell nearly at her feet.

She blinked at it, surprised, then knelt and picked it up. She examined it carefully, wondering if there were something wrong with it, then looked up at Lore again. "Not work," she said, her tone bewildered. "Why not work, Papa? Throw broken?"

As far as she knew, she had done it just like Lore ...

She held the disc out to him. "Papa show Skye," she said solemnly, nodding wisely. "Papa throw, then Skye know how. Okay?"

"Uhm... Okay," Lore replied back taking the disc.

He didn't really play the game, so he didn't think he would be good, and he needed to stay squating otherwise Skye couldn't see, he was too tall. Who would have thought it was possible to be too tall, but then again coming from Gaia he was use to being too tall. Lore lightly tossed the disc and while it flew smoothly it did not go as far as it could have had he just toss the object hard.

Ulani caught the disc and smiled. "Good throw!" she complimented him honestly. He was a quick learner, having started out no differently from Skye.

And speaking of which, it was the little angel's turn to try again. She tossed the disc so that it headed in Lore's direction instead of Skye's, since she didn't know how well the little girl would be able to catch the disc, or if she would at all.

The rest of the week passed in much the same manner, with the children (and Elnara) getting to know Lore better, and having fun each and every day with each other and with their new friends (or old friends, in Elnara's case). All in all, it ended up being a very pleasant and relaxing week for Elnara, and she hoped that it was the same for Lore.

When the day came for them to leave though, she was a little sad. It meant that she would have to leave her mother yet again, and she didn't know for how long.

Lore nodded, pleased that Serenity thought so, since Gion was the only brother that Elnara could seem to talk about without becoming sad, "Perhaps we will see him the next time we visit."

He was sure Elnara was still planning on another visit, and he would be there too.

"Of course I will," Serenity smiled, putting one hand comfortingly on Elnara's shoulder. "And I can tell you for certain that he misses you, too." She gave Elnara's shoulder a tight squeeze before letting go again.

She looked up at Lore. "You'll be certain to take very good care of her, won't you?" she smiled. She knew his answer already, but she wanted to hear it anyways, just for the sake of hearing it.

Idhril cuddled against Lore's shoulder and closed her eyes, looking very much as if she was going to fall asleep yet again. She looked very comfortable, though, and indeed even she would have agreed that she was.

The other children were all outside already, playing a last game of disc toss (those who could; Storm and Starr just watched) before they had to leave.

Elnara picked up Idhril's now silent vase and tucked it under one arm. "I suppose that's everything, then," she murmured thoughtfully, more to herself than anyone else as she looked around to see if they had missed anything. "I think ..."
