Welcome to Gaia! ::

Earendil smiled. "It's a beautiful day, why not outside?" he said warmly. "Somewhere nice. There's a path on the other side of the house, your mother took me there when we went for our walk the other week. How does that sound to you? Do you know the area?"

He still didn't know much about the area, though he was certain that they would be safe, and not have to worry too much about Miyuki.

Earendil chuckled softly to himself as he followed Lin around the house. She was just so ... sweet. Cute, yes, but more sweet. And to be honest, beautiful crossed his mind more than cute. It was just those times when she tugged on his sleeve like that ...

He shook his head. No, he had to control his thoughts. They wouldn't lead anywhere, and they wouldn't do any good.

Earendil flushed slightly and cleared his throat, looking down the path.

"Well," he murmured, "I suppose it depends on how far you feel you can go without getting lost. Or how far you want to go. I mean, near or far really doesn't make much of a difference, does it? Either way, it's -"

He realized suddenly that he was rambling, and he cut himself off and chuckled to cover up his embarrassment.

"Anyways, it's up to you," he concluded with a smile.

"That sounds like a plan to me," Earendil nodded agreeably. "You just lead the way."

Once she had taken them to a place where they could sit, he did just that: he sat down in the shade of a tree and motioned for Lin to sit beside or across from him, at her choice.

Earendil watched Miyuki as she began to play around. She was adorable ... just adorable. She was so strong and adventurous, too ...

"You know," he murmured, tilting his head slightly sideways as he looked down at Lin, "I have a feeling she's going to grow up to be a lot like you."

"Strong, adventurous, brave," Earendil commented, smiling down at her. "I would say that describes you pretty well. Independent ... don't tell me you've forgotten what you were like when you were a surprise? Going everywhere and doing everything ... it's amazing your parents weren't frightened to death by you."

Earendil laughed. "Well, I certainly won't deny that," he grinned. "You're the only person not a member of the royal family who was allowed to be tutored by Sir Valdemar. I can't say exactly what the reason was why you were allowed, but I think it had to do with several things ... not least of all being the fact that your parents were the ones to return my aunt home again."

He chuckled softly. "Still, I enjoyed your visits. I still do."
