Kaen sighed and ran a hand over her hair. "I hope she didn't leave without me...." she muttered as she grabbed a peach out of the bowl.

Cerridwyn Isra "I haven't seen her." Lily answered Kaen, now lightly stroking Arlen's hair. "Is something wrong, Miss Kaen?" she asked, tipping her head to the side.
A tray of mugs in hand, Cerri came back out, yawning as she made the rounds, offering one to everyone. Her last stop was Juno and Wren, and she gave a small smile. "Ah, you two have found each other. Lovely."

"Indeed a long time." Cerri answered softly, head tipping to one side. "A curse and a death ago, if I'm not mistaken." She took a mug for herself, then set the tray aside - any who'd refused and changed their minds would be able to help themselves. "And you can't leave yet. The little one needs you." she smiled warmly at Wren, then arched her brow at the man. "She has been through rather a lot, you know."
Lily, still snuggling Arlen, sipped her cocoa, watching with interest. This was another part of Cerri's memory that had been kept clouded, out of her reach. She recognized Wren and Juno, but wasn't entirely sure what the older woman was getting at.

Guan took the mug offered to him, but just set it aside. "Is something wrong?" he asked Kaen.
Arlen set his empty cup aside and gently whispered "Suil chait." Changing into a cat didn't make him feel any better, but curling up in Lily's lap made it easier to stay warm.

"Her godfather was supposed to be getting married tonight, and I had been invited," she said, sitting on a stool and turning to face everyone.

Lily smiled, then lay back on the couch and gently moved Arlen to her chest and pulled the blanket over the both of them, careful to keep his head outside. Under it, she cuddled him to her, trying to get him as warm as possible, stroking his fur, half her attention on the conversation between Kaen and Guan.

"It wasn't the curse that got me." Cerri answered with a dismissive wave of her hand, then adjusted her eye patch, single eye gleaming. "It was a wizard... but he'll get what's coming." Then she smiled and dropped her hand to Wren's hair, ruffling it lightly. "Of course you would. Would you like me to do it for you since you are currently unable?" she asked teasingly, winking down at the girl. "Though if you do want him to stay, I shouldn't advise taking me up on that."

"I see. Well I'm sorry, but I only came down a moment ago," Guan said. "I don't know anything about it."
"When did he learn to turn into a cat?" he asked perplexed as he spotted Arlen's sudden transformation.
Arlen for his part effectively reduced his realm of perception to him, Lily, and the blanket. He couldn't care about anything else that happened outside of those three things.

Cerri chuckled, then shook her head, sipping her cocoa. "You two are like small, related children." she murmured, ruffling Wren's hair again. "Can I get you too anything?"
Still stroking Arlen, Lily looked up at Guan and smiled. "I made him a pendant. It's magicked... as long as he's got it, he can change into a cat. He wanted it when we found out I could turn into a bunny."

Wren giggled. "No thank you."
Juno bowed to Wren. "As you wish." Chuckling, he turned his attention to Cerri. "I would hate to impose. If its not too much to ask, I am a bit hungry after my travels. Anything will do, thanks."
Wren tugged gently on Cerri's clothes. "He lies. HE doesn't like anything but bread, cheese, wine and soup. He just learned to pretend in the military. Isn't it riddiculous?" Wren giggled again, rolling her eyes.

"Well then, I'll make him a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup, so long as he's okay with that." Cerri told the girl, almost laughing herself now. "And I shall serve it with wine. And no, it's not silly... sometimes you have to pretend in order to fit in." The woman bent to kiss Wren's brow, then set her mug aside and vanished again into the kitchen.

"I see," Guan said, relaxing. "I knew it wasn't one of his abilities."
Arlen for his part was too busy focusing on how nice it felt to be held like this in order to ignore the fact that he was sick to notice that Guan knew more about his powers than he mentioned.
