Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Unless there's something else you'd be interested in hearing about," Earendil shrugged. "I mean, in history, you could basically choose any topic and get an entire lecture."

He paused for a moment. "If you want."

"Well," Earendil began; then he stopped. How was he supposed to know? After all, he had never been to her world, nor had he heard all that much about it.

"Probably," he replied slowly, thoughtfully, scratching at the back of his head. "But ... I wouldn't know which ones. If you'd like, we could probably do a lesson on the animals, and you can tell me which ones aren't in your world. How does that sound?"

He grinned down at her.

Earendil remembered back to the big cat that had visited when he was barely a year old and smiled faintly.

"She certainly would be big enough to give you rides," he agreed. "We don't have any talking animals here, though ... just the unicorns, and only if you're lucky."

Unicorns were proud, they didn't like talking with inferiors.

Earendil shrugged. "I don't know. Probably some incident that occurred a few hundred years ago or something that they haven't forgotten about. Perhaps I could show you the stables sometimes, we have a few of them in there. Maybe they'd talk to you, you're an oddity here."

"Sure," Earendil grinned. "But after lessons, all right?" he added as they reached the bottom of the stairs. He started down the path to the castle, wiping a bead of sweat from his brow. "And I need a bath before anything."

"You could head down to lunch, I'm sure you must know where it is by now," Eärendil suggested. "Or if you would prefer to wait for me, you could wait in my room, or in your own ... or perhaps you would prefer to wait with Sir Valdemar? Though he doesn't eat with us ..."

He headed inside and towards the tower. "Whatever you'd like," he nodded.

Eärendil nodded and lowered Lin to the ground. "I'll see you later then," he told her, grinning; and he disappeared into the tower and up to his room to bathe.
