Scratching Draku behind the ear. Lecta breathed in weak breaths"Why are you pretending Draku..."she whispered, staring closely at his small cat like form"There's no point, he knows you guys werre on your way...I told him to send someone to go get you..."a laugh escaped Lecta's lips, she flipped Draku over onto his back and tickled his small paws.

I finished the song. Everyone noticed i was in the room by this time. Regardless i walked over to Lecta's bedside, and tried to get her to lay flat on her back. "I need to do one last examination. Now please , lay on your back", i removed the cat from her arms, and placed him on the side of the bed. I called the stars to my palms, and, liek i had before, my hands glided an inch or two abover her skin, stars lighting everything. I paused right below her heart, and mended the rib that had broken in the desert. I'm not sure she noticed either..."Have you gotten your food yet?" i asked her, although the question was obvious. Yes i'd definitely have to go gut that servant. "A friend of mine is on his way to this place. He'll have dark brown hair, and knives's at his side. Wait for him here. he will help us in our travels...", everyone stared at me strangely...obviously they'd never heard a fortune from an astromancer before. I finished the examination, relieved that everything was going smoothly. She was fine. But she still needed rest.

Lecta stared at him and managed a smile"No..."she whispered, and wipped the sweat from her brow"They didnt come and bring me anything..."she yawned. Playing with her hair and stared blankly towards the stars. Until another voice had reached her ears. Her body tenced, directing her eyes towards the door. Lecta stared with curious eyes"W-who are you...?".

"Like i said a few minutes ago...he's an old friend. Rest now. your still too weak to do any traveling right now. But i've told your grandmother about the undead doctor, and the healing. She's doing everything she can to ensure our safety. Now, sleep. I'll leave my stars in here with you for awhile. Alright?", i told her. Addressing everyone else in the room,"Now if you could please wait outside for a minute. I'll speak with you soon", i commanded briefly. They all left reluctantly, but surely. I had to do this quickly. I started singing again, and let the stars roam the room freely. They quietly sang with me...

"Ok..."lecta wispered, turning onto her side and burried her face in the pillow. Breathing in weak breaths. A familliar voice came rushing down the hallway"Grandmother..."she whispered and slowly sat up.
"Lecta dear!"the old elf shouted with a worried voice. She sat on her bed and hugged her tight. Her long white hair fell over her shoulders. She looked exacly like lecta, but her hair was white. And instead of stripes for tattoos it was the shape of a butterfly running across her face"I have hurd what had happened...And I hope your alright...I think its best if you dont go out on your silly adventures anymore..."
"But...Grandmother..."she whispered, staring up at the women and let out a sigh. Staring at her friends then back at her"I want to...".

You once said before that your grandmother was not fond of humans in particular. I will stay in this form until further notice...
Draku was defenselessly set aside by the foreign elf to Lecta's bedside. It was best not to be bothering her right now so he walked towards a wooden chair and awaited for her recovery. As her grandmother walked in with her elegant outfit, Draku froze silent and observed. To Draku, her grandmother didnt seem all that welcoming.

The womens ears twitched and she stared at the cat. Walking over, she smiled softly, sitting on her knees infront of the chair and scratched the cat behind the ears"Well hello there..."she said quietly and examined the cats features, the legs werre shaped wrong, it was strange to her. But bieng 250 years old. She knew this was a shapeshift, then she looked towards the group"If you are wondering, I am Lecta's Grandmother, I am her caretaker. Her parents died when she was young. And please, call me Astai."she looked back towards the cat with plain stone eyes"Do you take me for a fool? I have lived long enough to know that you. Are not a real cat...".

Draku frowned but his cat face did not allow emotion to be expressed.
"I knew that, Astai." says Draku in a deep voice, ill suiting his miniature form. "I happened to be in this form before you came in. I have no intention of fooling you. I would like to stay in this state if you dont mind."
Draku jumped down to the marble floor, his paws giving a loud metal clank as he landed. His legs were made of metal since that was what his shapeshift allowed. Calmy, he sat beside Serobi's foot on the side in which the hamster hid himself.

Ah she's finnally arrived. Now why is that cat still in there...goodness. I thought to myself. I walked back into the room, and took the cat in my arms, ignoring the protests from Astai, and Lecta, and the cat..."Sorry buddy, but she needs to be alone with her grandmother. Oh, and by the way, i'm an astromancer.I also know your human. Pleasure to meet you draku, now if we could all please talk in the hallway now?" i told him, and anyone else listening through the door

Lecta sighed, the stars had fallen around there head humming quietly in her ears"Eleyym thank you so much..."she whispered and ran a hand thru her hair. Turning onto her side once more. Her body trembled lightly, why was it suddenly so cold? Perhaps cause the window was open. Astai stood up. Reaching over to the windows and closed them"Oh Lecta, you always get yourself into trouble...And you need to stop bieng so flirtatious, your in a hole group of men. Who knows what they will do to you..."she infromed shaking her head and ran a hand along the young elves forehead.

Serobi chuckled as he left the room. Draku, it seems that you're disguise did not work out as well as Kalupaan's. he thought and yet again, gave another humorous chuckle. After Draku's disguise has been revealed, Serobi rubbed the top of his hat and beads started to form on his face. Better reveal myself to avoid further embarassment.
Serobi took his hat off, placed it in one of his remaining empty pockets. His short elven ears twitched. It seems that a part of his head was missing after taking it off. Hopefully, Lecta's grandmother would not notice his true identity.

"Your very welcome Lecta. And your grandmother is right, maybe these exploits aren't good for you right now...", i winked at her, making sure Astai didn't notice...
