Welcome to Gaia! ::

The weekend was something Lore looking for, which when he stopped to think about it, was a bit odd. Back before he ever met Elnara, he couldn't imagine being ever eager to be away from his work, but this was before he ever met Elnara and began living life. Which was why now he was in the portal room with Elnara, getting ready to go.

He held one of the twins, they had been fed and changed, so they should be good for a while.

"Do we have everything?"

Elnara laughed at Lin. "You always know the first question we're going to ask."

Not that it particularly mattered anymore. Lin was, in Elnara's eyes, an adult and she trusted that she wouldn't do what she wasn't allowed to. She was a good kid.

She turned her attention back to Lore, and Garrick in her arms. "I think we have everything," she nodded. "Diapers, wipes, extra clothes, cool clothes for you, me and them ..."

"I think we're fine," Lore murmrued.

He carefully held Hana and picked up the bag. Putting the bag over his shoulder.

"I guess we can head through then."

Lin hurried onward not wanting to keep them, since in a way she was a tag along. She felt a bit blinded being in the labyrinth, since it was darker, she had to blink a few times to adjust. She took a deep breath in, it was always good to be here, no matter how much she loved home.

Elnara hurried after the others, not wanting to be left behind (not that Lore would ever go ahead without her), and closed the door behind herself.

Hana giggled at Lore and twisted around in his arms to look at the walls around them.

~~~~~

It was a short while later when they finally reached the end of the labyrinth, and Elnara once more let Lin go ahead of them - she after all would be going a little faster up the stairs than her or Lore, since she wasn't carrying a child.

"I wonder how long it's been here since the last time we were here," she smiled at Lore over her shoulder.

That had been their wedding ... one year and seven months ago for them, between the two worlds.

Lin hurried up the steps, only to pause once she got up all them. She turned and wondered if she should wait, well maybe she should since Elnara and Lore were going to see Atalya.

She looked around to see who was in the hallway.

Elnara nodded. "Has to be," she murmured. "We should ask them to have some sort of counter somewhere so that we can know before we run into people."

She followed Lin out into the hallway and blinked in the sudden brightness. Garrick, who had been just about asleep in her arms, jerked his head away from the light and buried his face in her shoulder.

It was always so hard to remember who was who, Lin ticked off the people whom she did not know, which was most of them anyhow. Though she knew she was being watched, which was more use to than before.

"A date counter at the entry?" Lin murmured, "Well.. let's go, maybe we can ask that too."
