Donovan nodded, "In the morning, I'm told Ulani will be here in the afternoon. So I'll be talking to her then."
Since Celeborn was going to need to know that too really.
"Okay," Lin replied as she finished off her cookie, "I'm ready to go."

"Bat wings?" Haradhel repeated curiously. "Bigger, I would imagine ... like demon wings, then? Not like ... our demons but ... well, Elnara said there were demons in your world that weren't evil, even though they looked ... similar ..."
Arwen nodded. "That was a very long time ago," she agreed, "in the First Age. I don't know exactly how long ago that was, I can't count that high so it doesn't make much sense to me, but Mama says it was longer than most people have been alive."

"Afternoon," Celeborn repeated grimly, reaching for a shirt. "Soon, then. Well, you go on ahead and I'll be out once I'm dressed. She should be here any time, if she said afternoon."
He pulled his shirt on over his head. "See you in a bit, then?"
Aliya was also puzzled. "I can see him being a cat-person, like Kaito," she agreed with Haradhel, "but to be part bat on top of it? Are there races that can be a mix of more than two creatures?"
Adan grinned and jumped off the bench. "Come on," he beckoned for her to follow, running for the door.

"Ah... yes... Shiro by definition of his wings would be considered a demon neko. They can be as good or as evil as any other being. I should know, I have one for an in-law," Kara mused thoughtfully, "It's just how the races turned out somehow... I don't think it's the result of mixing races, though then again it could be possible, might explain a few things. It's just for some races there are more than one type within that one race. Like, you've seen Triton, he has no wings by nature, he is the definition of what a neko is. A being who holds cat like qualities of ears and tail, but has no fur anywhere else except those two parts. He has no wings, and no other extra parts that set him apart, unlike Kaito or Shiro."
She paused for a moment, it showed how different the two worlds were.
"Though... it is possible that they are a mix too... it wouldn't be unheard of, deep down most races have the same I guess base form somewhere. Whatever that might be."
"Oh....." Miyu mused.
She supposed it would be then like long back in history, she had heard of history. Studied a bit of it, though it didn't interest her as much as it did Lin.

"Alright then," Donovan murmured.
He motioned for Celebor to join him as he began to head out the door. Thinking of what else Celebor would need to know.
"We'll be at the Ranch House."
Lin followed, hurrying along in her steps as so not to be left behind. It wouldn't be nice to be left behind after all, she thought to herself.

Celebor followed quickly after Donovan, closing the door behind him so that Celeborn could change in peace.
"Does it always go so smoothly, so quickly?" he asked curiously. "Just ... you're here, therefore you leave in the morning and that's it?"
It seemed quite nicely organized to the teen, he rather liked it.

"Hmm," Haradhel murmured thoughtfully. "I wonder what it would be like if he came to the Four Lands. I imagine most people would be ... well, wary of him, to say the least ... poor boy. I think it would be interesting to have him visit here, I'm interested in meeting him anyways - after all, he is my nephew ... and yet ... I would have to warn Elrohir ahead of time, just to let him know there was a Gaian demon coming, and not to freak out."
She grimaced. "He's ... a lot better than he once was, I know, but he can still be taken by surprise at times."
Arwen grinned at Miyu. "Maybe we can ask him how long ago it was when we ask him about the stars," she suggested. "He would know, I'm sure of it!"

"I think it would be nice for Serenity to meet him, as well," Aliya put in, "though it would be a shock for her, too. After all, she was the one who had to leave the place where she was born because of the demons. I don't know if he would remind her of them, but ..."
She shrugged.
Adan glanced over his shoulder to see how Lin was following. It looked like she was keeping up all right, but he was a bit taller than her so his stride was a bit longer ... he slowed down a bit so that she could keep up. After all, in her own words, they weren't supposed to be by themselves.

"From what I heard, it was a bit tense when Elnara and Lore took Shiro and Kaito to the castle to pick up Celebor and Serenity," Kara admitted, "I feel sorry for Shiro. It's not something he's use to."
Though it would be nice of Shiro could come here.... on the other hand.
Miyu nodded, "I'm sure he does."
She looked forward to it, because she was interested. Miyu didn't know much about those set of stars.

Donovan made his way back out of the barracks, he had to think about it, "More or less. We still have preparations to make before we go, but it's become fairly routine. Which is why it is going quickly, we don't start parking though until we know where the children are and how many slavers there will be. Once we know that, we start packing according to what will be expected."
He paused for a moment and turned slightly to look at Celebor.
"Which reminds me, how good is your first aid?"
Lin ran slightly, catching up with Adan.
"Don't worry, keep going I won't fall behind."

"I have basic field training," Celebor replied seriously. "I can staunch a wound, give stitches if necessary, ration out medication if there is some to be given - though to be fair Captain Eldrin really didn't have much in that manner. Unfortunately, I can't heal magically, like the Southlanders can."
Well, Donovan had known that, but still he had felt the need to add that in.
"I've been taught to treat shock, cold, and most types of wounds," he added, "if that helps."

"I imagine Ruel was one of the biggest problems for him," Haradhel remarked. "But if he were to come here, I promise you he would be treated well. Like you, like Cindy, it's just something that we need to get used to - and to be honest it would probably be better - or easier at least - if we were to get used to him while he's still young, and not as intimidating."
Of course, she really had no idea what he looked like, she was only guessing he might look fierce when he was older.
Arwen closed the book again and returned it to the shelf.
"So what do you want to do?" she asked Miyu, smiling and clasping her hands behind her back. "Do you want to play something?"

Aliya grinned. "We would make sure to make him feel at home here," she assured Kara. "Just as welcome as Kaito."
She giggled. "He was so cute. Does he talk any more yet?"
Adan nodded at Lin, then faced forward again and picked up his speed once more. When they reached the barracks door, he opened it and dashed inside.

"Actually.... I heard Ruel was being pretty decent... for someone who didn't like to have a demon at the dining table. I don't know much, Celebor of course would know, and I think Lin has a rough idea of what happened," Kara commented. I'll make note of doing that, besides Elnara and Lore owe a visit here it has been so long...." Kara trailed off for a moment, "Though I can't imagine Shiro being intimidating, he's awful polite...."
She paused and giggled for a moment.
"In fact Kaito is slowly picking up more words from his brother, so he's been mixing in Japanese too."
"Okay," Miyu replied without really thinking about it, "What do you want to play?"

"That'll do," Donovan replied, "I just needed to ask, depending on how many slavers there are we might do the catch and release method. I would want you then to stick with the kids with Celeborn. Being human and lack of parental ability aside, I'll only scare them more, so better you and Celeborn than me and you with the kids."
Besides if they were really going to have to do the catch and release method he would rather Celebor not be there. He couldn't help it, there were some things he was just not ready to share with Celebor.
Lin followed heading straight for the stairs to get to the second floor. She hoped that Elros wasn't sleeping for anything like that.
