Standing on wobbly legs, she looked at them both with upset and fear. She backed away from them, hissing and shaking her head. She had a lot of thoughts, a lot to say, but could not find the strength to attempt to say so using her voice and English.

Clinging to the machine as they moved, Brom was uncertain where they were going. Yes, he knew space, but he had many concerns over this. Though he did not voice these concerns as he did have trust in Seisuke. "So .. when might we arrive and ... do whatever it is we are meant to do at our destination?"

David/Oromis walked toward Feldspar and reached his hand out to her shoulder. Speaking in the ancient language, he said, "We mean you no harm, we only wish to help. The reason we kept our true identities secret from your mother and her Rider was for our own defense. I assume that you know what I am, so explaining myself should be a bit easier. I was chased and tortured across the globe, only because no one understod what I was. The same with the elves, they couldn't understand why a non-rider human could be immortal, thus they to drove me from their cities, but not before I could fall in love with them. So, one night, I transformed myself into the form you see here, minus a few hundred years, and joined their society. I was tested a few years later, and Glaedr's egg hatched for me. Long story short, we remained with the elves for many centuries, untill we were 'killed.' It was during the turmoil of our funerals that Glaedr and I managed to escape. A few years later, we joined Eragon and Saphira in battle, me in my true form, and Glaedr with that fake limb that he ripped off. During the fight we got seperated, and I never saw him again..."
Glaedr stood silently off to the side, watching for the changes in expression on Feldspar's face.

Still unconvinced, she continued to back away from them. Shaking her head still in disbelief, adrenaline rushed through her veins as she tried to make sense of all this. Things did not seem to add up quite how she felt it should. Instinct took over and she did the only thing she knew how to do and roared - both in warning and in calling. Despite knowing Brom had left, perhaps Ziven would hear. "Stay .. ah-way." she said jerkily as she continued moving away from them.
When David left also, she looked up for a moment but then resumed reading her book. Everyone seemed rather eager to go off and do other things, she would not be one to stop them. Curling her legs up under herself, she clutched her book as she read, looking almost as a child would when holding their favorite stuffed toy for comfort when they were upset. All was quite and well until she heard the unmistakable roar of a dragon - and not just any dragon, the one that she had heard more than any other. Standing, she set the book on her chair and immediately ran from her house. As soon as she passed the barrier that prevented use of teleportation, she was instantly at Fedlspar's side with a small pop. Speaking swiftly in the ancient language, she placed an arm reassuringly around her. "What has happened Bright Scales?"
Looking to Ziven, she was clearly quite distressed. She shook her head and tried to communicate with her mind but the barrier was still there so she moved with Ziven farther away so that she could speak faster, show her what happened. "For these reasons, I do not trust them, such deception is dishonorable to our name." she again hissed at the pair after this, feeling completely betrayed and upset.
Ziven nodded, understanding fully what Feldspar was thinking and feeling partially that way herself. Looking to David and Glaedr, she sighed lightly. "Why do you reveal yourselves now? Why in this way?" she asked. Both Feldspar and Ziven wanted answers but being by each other's side helped tremendously to be relaxed and able to articulate their thoughts.

David bowed his head and returned to his normal form. "I kept my second identity a secret up intill this point because the dead aren't supposed to return. We only revealed ourselves now because we needed Feldspar's trust, and we assumed she'd trust her mother's teachers..." David focused intently on Feldspar's forhead for a moment, then the barrior was lifted.
Glaedr remained off to the side, his fake hand still in his real one.

Looking between them, she still looked concerned, sad at their reply and lack thereof. After a few moments, Ziven nodded slowly and then replied. "For this you both break and earn trust. It is .. saddening to know you have deceived us all. Yet it is honorable and a relief that you are finally confiding in us." she said bobbing her head. As she spoke, Feldspar nodded also, showing she agreed, but still held her head proud - so very unlike Ziven who still seemed shy.

David looked to Glaedr and took the hand and reattached to his arm. Reciting a short spell, the fake hand and mutilated arm became one, showing no signs that it was fake. "I am sorry that we have lost some of your trust, but as I said before, the dead cannot come back..."

"We .. understand." Feldspar said softly, looking to them. Gentile blue eyes watched David, still wanting to understand more. There was still a lot of unanswered questions. If only her mother could be here to answer questions. Tilting her head, she felt something odd and looked to Ziven for answers.
She tilted her head slightly and smiled. "You are feeling weary after such shock. Let us all have tea. We may all relax and feel fine again." she said softly, taking up one of Feldspar's arms to walk along side back to her house.

David and Glaedr went back to the house and coungered a blackened metal pot filled with glacial spring water. Glaedr opened his mouth and blew a jet of golden flames at it to boil the water. David reached into his cloak ang pulled out a small mesh-like pouch, and a large leather one filled with dried leaves. He poured some of the leaves into the smaller pouch and sealed it with magic. He put the pouch into the pot of water and watched as the water slowly darkened and a faint aroma of mint drifted from the surface. When the tea was ready, he coungered an intricatly carved silver teapot, and poured the tea into it. He summoned four identical cups and set the entire set on the table. "The tea is on me. It is Egyptian mint, and it is good for calming nerves, and curing a large amount of stomach troubles. Please enjoy." As David sat, a silver bowl, of the same set as the cups and pot, appeared on the table, filled with sugar cubes.

Tilting her head, Ziven watched all that David was doing. She was interested at what he was doing, and was happy to have a new tea to try. "Thank you, David. I shall provide the petit fours." she said softly, cheerfully once everyone was settled. Creating both sweet and savory finger sandwiches, she placed the plates on the table also.
Still rather unconvinced, Feldspar too watched what everyone was doing as she moved about the room. There was little she had to contribute in this conversation nor to offer. Besides, she was not one to provide such simple things for others. "Speak if you .. need me." she said softly, simply, making her way to the far end of the room. Though she realized they were all to have tea, it still did not quite register that this did in fact include her.
Smiling, she went to Feldspar's side and brought her to the table, helping her sit. Nudging her conscious with her own, she offered help to the transformed dragon if she wanted it.

David picked up his cup and setteled back into his chair, savoring the aroma of the peppermint tea. His finger twitched and three cubes floated from the bowl into the cup. His finger twitched again and a small whrilpool appeared, stirring the sugar into the tea. He took a sip, and a look of mixed joy and grief crossed his face, but only for a moment. His expression returned to normal as he stared into the depths of the cup.
Glaedr picked up his cup and drank deeply, before picking up one of the sandwiches and devouring it quickly. He looked to David, and upon recieving a nod, picked up his sandwich and ate it quickly as well.

Ziven nodded and watched their actions. She was pleased that they all seemed pleased enough with the tea and sandwiches. Taking up her own cup of tea, she realized that Feldspar was still hesitating. Gently she nudged her conscience with her own.
Feeling amazingly awkward, she touched the teacup that was meant for her but did not try to pick it up, to drink it. Feeling Ziven's encouragement, she looked to her with a small smile. "I have no idea what I'm doing, Little One." she said simply before standing and moving to the couch, intending to remain there alone again.
Smiling, she understood what was on Feldspar's mind. Moving with her, she refused to allow her to be alone. Kindly forcing a cup of tea in to her hands, she would not stop until she saw her drink.

Glaedr started to get up, but was stopped when David grabbed him by the shoulder. Looking to him, he could tell by the expression on David's face that he should let them be for now.
