Welcome to Gaia! ::

Meanwhile Earendil was just arriving back from a trip to the city, where he had spent the entire day, and upon entering the castle he headed down the first corridor towards the tower where the stairs were located. He intended on going to his room to wash and change his clothes, but as he passed by Sir Valdemar's study he heard a familiar voice, and he couldn't help but poke his head into the room and grin.

"Lin!" he exclaimed cheerfully, heading inside to talk to her instead of head to his room. "Welcome back!"



Luthien had already greeted Lore and Elnara and all of their children, but she hadn't yet met many of Kara and Donovan's children - really she had just said hello to the ones she already knew. Now, however, she was heading into the courtyard to do some afternoon painting, a canvas under one arm, bag of supplies in her other hand.

Lore chuckled as he tore his eyes away from the book he was thinking about picking up to look at Elnara. He smiled seeing her there looking as lovely as ever.

"I would love that," Lore replied softly as he squeezed her hand gently.

Elnara smiled warmly at him, tugging him gently away from the shelf.

"Shiro," she called out softly, "we're going for a walk, we shouldn't be long. We'll be back by dinner time."

"Okay, Okaa-san," Shiro replied, his nose stuck in the book he was reading. "Enjoy yourselves."

Elnara laughed softly and tugged Lore towards the doorway.

"The gardens?" she suggested. "Nako tells me that it's mid-spring here, the flowers should be in full bloom."


Serenity was walking with Trisha, pointing out the various flowers and butterflies that surrounded them, giving her their elvish names - since they had no English names, and didn't exist in Gaia or the Seconds world.

She (relatively) young angel bowed in greeting, "It is nice to meet you too. I've actually been told about you from my brothers, Yue and Yukito."

She smiled at that, Yukito especially was fond of spending time with Luthien, she had been a great help when he was learning the writing. Which now resulted him being able to read and write in the language. They could understand the language, though speaking was... difficult at best.

"Ah, this is exciting, getting to meet everyone," Tris giggled, "We were looking through the garden, Serenity was telling me about the plants."

"For as long as the wedding will take," Lin told him, "Everyone from home is here for Nara-sissy's and Lore's wedding. So my parents are here and all my siblinsg and some of their kids and Nara-sissy's kids...."

And Nara-sissy's kid's kid her mind added mentally to that list.

"So I have lots of time here."

Earendil's eyes grew bright. "Aunt Elnara is here? And everyone else?" he grinned. "Excellent! So that means you'll be here at least a month, I'm sure ... I tell you what, let me go bathe and change my clothes and then I'll come back here looking for you, and we can do something, all right? How does that sound?"



Luthien laughed. "Yes, your brothers were certain fun to have here! Earendil adored them ... I have to wonder if he would even remember them now, he was so young when they were here - barely a year old!"

She smiled warmly. "Yes, the flowers here area always so beautiful ... the gardener takes such good care of them, they bloom all year round. It's wonderful ..."

She noted the bags that Serenity and Trisha were both holding. "Going to do some painting?" she asked the girls cheerfully. "I was about to do the same ... shall we sit together? There's a tree further in that we can sit under for some shade."

Lore smiled widely at that statement, he wondered what sort of roses they had blooming at the moment. His mind going into flowers, he wondered what sort of flowers would be in bloom at this time.

"Yes, I know..." he murmured softly at her, "Which is why I had so much fun decorating your room."
