Only Fools and Horses

"The same could be said for the entire galaxy Ellya", Aerin said as Thaerd played on. "So strange to me it is, dangerous yet beautiful, Midvinter is the same, if you are not careful you can find yourself in lots of trouble and I do not necessarily mean from Valkyri but nature here has a fickle heart".

Her eyes fell on Thaerd's fingers as they danced along the strings, his focus now firmly on the instrument and lost in thought. "I always love that piece of music", she said to him with a smile, and he plays so well enough to relieve the mind of all ill.

"We return home after a long time, it will take us a few days to get there but you are more than welcome to join us". It is getting late and Aerin is very tired. "Now I must bid you both good night, I shall arise early Thaerd and prepare the horses for the journey on the morrow. I will arrange for a horse for Ellya".

"Good night Lady Ellya". Aerin moved away from the table and up the stairs to her quarters.
 
He stood up as Aerin left the table, taking his cousin in his arms to wish her well with rest. "On the morrow we ride home", he whispered knowing she is eager to get there to see how fares the Clan. There will be many not returning to their families and it is her duty to inform the families of the fall of the warriors. Also there will be the ceremony of the new chieftain, she will hand over the leadership to him.

Once Aerin had ascended the stairs and well ensonced in her room, Thaerd turned to [member="Ellya"] with a warm smile, not that she would ever see it. "I believe we all need to rest as we have a long journey tomorrow", he waved an arm to gain the attention of the serving girl once more. He enquired of her of a room for Ellya but Aerin had taken the last one. "Then the lady shall have my lodgings", he informed the girl and asked her to ready the room by lighting the fire and turning down the bed. The serving girl quickly done as asked.

"Lady Ellya, let me escort you to your room and make sure everything is to your liking", he said as he placed his hand gently on her upper arm to guide her up the stairs.
 
"I shall come with you."

Ellya didn't quite trust the man enough yet even though he had proved himself to be trustworthy. Going to bed under his lead was something more mysterious, something to be afraid of just because of one's own caution. She didn't want anything bad to happen to her, but she didn't show it off yet.

"I will be eagerly waiting for the morning, too. Seeing more of the planet is fantastic. This world seems to be great, so I would love to see what else it has to offer."

She forced herself to giggle to hide her actual worries.

"I think I won't be getting any sleep tonight."

He tilted his head to the side to regard her, as she giggled apparent it was force, and he could sense her nervousness. This made him smile as he has no intentions of ill will toward the girl. "Midvinter is unique, to say the least. I have been in many place of late and have seen much but nothing comes close to the beauty of my fair planet. But I am bias", he giggled himself this time but his is genuine. "On the morrow, as we ride to the south I shall describe to the best of my humble ability to vista that will surround us. But I know you will see it as your other sense will allow you to experience it in a way I could not".

They had reached the door to the lodging and Thaerd opened the door and lead her in. Walking her around the room so she would know where everything was but she had her droid as aid as well. He lit the fire so she would be warm throughout the night as Midvinter is bitter through the night. He examined the bed to make sure it was clean which it was before returning to Ellya's side.

"Lady Ellya I bid you good night", he took her hand and place a gentle kiss upon her fingers, before leaving her to herself for the night.
 
The room the two had gotten to was cold. Perhaps it wasn't unbearable to those who were native to the planet, but Ellya -- who had lived on a wamr planet for the most of her life -- thought it was completely impossible to stay at such a room.

But she heard the man lighting a fire, so maybe it wasn't going to be that bad. It was only one night she had to spend there. And the best part? She got to do that under warm blankets, so she guessed it would be somewhat enjoyable, even. Or if not, it was definitely going to be a challenge. Only time would tell which of these would it be.

"Thank you so much for helping me."

She felt thankful. Yet still feeling a bit nervous about the man. She would have to get her droid to protect her throughout the night.

The night had pasted without event. In the main area of the Inn, some of the patrons had not made the climb up the stairs to their rooms, instead lay splayed over the long tables or the floor. Thaerd, had not opted for either of those choices, but found comfort in a padded booth. His legs stretched along the bay window ledge, his fur coat pulled around his body as his back leaned against the wall, his head resting on the frame of the window.

It is early morning, the sun not yet above the nearby mountain range, and it would take some time before it did. Ice clung to the glass of the window, in crystal patterns which sparkled with the dancing flame of the hearth. Through the night the Inn keeper fuelled the fire with large logs and made sure all was well.

Thaerd stirred. Clink .. clink … clink clink … Clink .. clink … clink clink. The Smith’s song of Midvinter began to ring out around the Péinecrag and down through the valley. His lips parted only to allow his mouth to water and remove the dry taste. Shifting his body to find more comfort, he returned to slumber.

Only seemed like he had returned to find his dreams once more, when a gentle hand rested on his shoulders. “Wake up cousin, we must get ready to depart”, came the gentle voice of Aerin.
 
Seeyeh started buzzing. It was morning. Not much had happened at night and the droid only got to be bored for hours and hours... and hours. His defenses were useless -- there was no potential thread, anyway.

And to the buzzing, Ellya woke up. She had slept for long and that made her feel a bit ill. She knew the feeling would go away soon, especially when she remembered she'd be going on an adventure with the two Midvinter people she had met the last night.

With a quick swift movement, the girl rose to her feet and tried to locate her clothes. The sleep had been rather good and even though she had been afraid of getting cold, nothing had happened. The fireplace had made the room as warm as they were on Via. For a moment, she even felt like she should visit the planet more often.
