Welcome to Gaia! ::

Serenity shuffled her feet awkwardly. "She's still a teen," she admitted, "so I don't know what happened ... some ... special appeal to the goddesses or something, I guess ..."

Elnara wasn't quite sure what to think yet. That Idhril of all people would have gone off ... without telling her ... so suddenly ... it sort of rocked her world. She would not have thought that of Idhril. Celebor perhaps, he had always had a spontaneous spirit ... but Idhril had always been one to think very carefully before acting.

"Well that's ... surprising," she murmured. "But if she is truly happy ... then who am I to say anything?"

She smiled at Serenity. "Thank you for telling us," she said softly.

"Her name is Sehnin," Serenity replied softly. "She looks very much like Idhril ... though she also looks like Joruri. She's ... kind of hard to describe."

Elnara smiled. "Then perhaps we will meet her tonight at dinner," she murmured cheerfully. "Donovan said he would send Kali for Idhril and Celebor ... do you know where they are, so that we can tell her where to look?"

Serenity looked a little uneasy. "Not ... really," she admitted. "I mean, I know where Celebor and Niyana's cave is ... but ... I sort of ran into Idhril and Joruri by chance, I don't know where they live."

Elnara nodded. "Then we'll see if she can find them," she murmured. "Though by now it would be a miracle for her to get there and come back before dinner, let alone take the time to find them."

She was disappointed - but at the same time, a little relieved. She was tired, and the time difference was still confusing her, and she felt completely lost in the manor house ... and when she saw her children again, she wanted to feel a bit more in control of herself.

She glanced over at Lore. "Is Hana awake?" she asked him softly. "Garrick's finished for now, at least he'll be fine until we can get to our own house ..."

Though Hana was still being very quiet, so it was quite possible that she might still be fast asleep.

Elnara smiled warmly. "Mother says it's instinctive," she murmured, "so unless they're fussing not to worry about it. Well ... if you don't mind keeping her for a bit then, I think it's best not to move her if we don't have to, and we can see how long she sleeps."

She turned to Kara. "On the other hand," she added, "since they're both quiet now ... perhaps we could see our house?"

She wondered if Triton and Yue had gotten the furniture yet.

Elnara stood carefully and cradled Garrick in her arms, positioning him so that he could look around at the things that they would pass as they walked.

"Will we be passing by where the mers are living?" she asked Kara as she waited for Lore to join her. "Even if Jair's not going to be living with us, I'd like to see how close he is ..."

He was after all her youngest - save of course the twins.

It sounded like everything was built with the mers in mind as well, which was a good sign.

"So if we want while Jair is small he could stay near us," Lore murmured thoughtfully.

Kara smiled she would have taken Elnara's hand, but she had her hands full from the looks of it.

"Let's go in, I'm eager to get out onto the grounds, it isn't as much fun exploring as it was when I was little."

She showed them the quickest way out, besides all ways led to the home anyhow, there were a lot of different paths a person could take which always made it a good place to wander outside.
