Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elros chuckled softly. "Indeed," he murmured, reaching out and patting the horse on the shoulder.

After a few minutes, he glanced down at Lin again. "I have to give my report now to Lord Elrohir. Do you want to come with or would you like to go see someone else?"

"Elberon?" Elros questioned, just to make sure. "Hmm ... I suppose he might be, though I don't know where to find him, then. We can look in the stables, and if he's not there then my best bet would be to look where your older brother and sister are ... he's curious, and he would jump at the chance to be able to ask them as many questions as he can."

Elros chuckled. "Well, I hope you're not as curious as he is," he murmured, heading now towards the stable, "because I'd hate to see something like that happen to you."

Elros laughed aloud, tucking Lin safely in the crook of his arm as he entered the stable.

"Well, I'm glad for that," he grinned at her, his eyes scanning the lower level.

"Elberon!" he shouted, calling for the man. He waited a moment, but there was no reply. He tried once more. "Elberon!"

"Probably," Elros agreed with a curt nod, heading through the stables for the door on the opposite wall. "And if they were going to be sparring, as they were talking about, they're probably in the middle of the yard."

He opened the door and stepped outside, and sure enough there was Elberon with Aliya, Feng and Ryu.

"There they are!" Lin pointed the four out, "I hope Elberon is being careful this time," she murmured.

At least she hoped so, who knows what would happen if you told him to touch something.

Ryu raised his sword hand having it at an angle as his other hand went up in front of him two fingers held up as if he was lining up his arm and sword. It was this signal that he moved from defense to a preparation for a counter attack if needed.

Feng couldn't help but giggle at Elberon even though she really should get the older elf to stop talking so the two could spar undistracted. Even though the questions he was throwing wasn't bothering Ryu at the least. It was called tuning out the chatter.

"It looks as though he just might be," Elros murmured. "Aliya should be used to it though, she asks nearly as many questions as he does, and far more quickly, too."

He paused. "Though the sword she's using looks a bit short for her ... I don't think it's hers."


Aliya was used to using any sort of weapon (or nearly: she hadn't even realized until seeing Feng's battle fans that there were weapons out there that she didn't know how to use), so the relative shortness of Triton's blade wasn't bothering her very much. She knew she was much taller than him, so it only made sense that his blade would be shorter than her own.

Her only annoyance at the moment was Elberon, who was asking questions more and more quickly. Still, she set one foot forward and feinted a high thrust at Ryu, then quickly twisted the sword and brought it up from waist height for a low attack.
