Kaelyn: **Kaelyn and Darius had spent the day packing their belongings and moving them from the camp into their new home. Kae felt drained and thought it was due to all the excitement, her stomach rolled and she felt queasy. More than once she had to stop and inhale slowly the fresh cool air to help calm her stomach. She had eaten little since their return, as food made her stomach feel worse. She was walking out by the falls as Darius finished unloading their trunks and took them into the house. Her stomach had yet to settle fully and it began to roll once more... she bent down by a tree and emptied the contents of her stomach for the third time this day, she wiped her mouth with her hand as she knelt there wondering what the hell could be wrong with her?**
Raven: Darius came up behind her and placed his hand on her back his voice gentle and concerned. " Are ye alright love?" He asked using his free hand to pull her long blonde locks from her face and placing cool fingers against her forehead. He kissed her temple and took the cool cloth from Rhys as he handed it to him before stepping off to finish directing the unloading of their things into the beautiful house Darius had built for Kae and their future
family. (d)
Balian: Heavy hooves made light falls against the soft grounds of the Forest. Balian's left hand gripped the thick leather straps of the reigns with a glance back over his shoulder to the lovely Lady Jelenah just behind him on the mount. Her Balian Windsor: slender arms wrapped around his torso. He smiled softly just before his deep tone carried from his lips. "On the way back, you can do the driving and ill sit back and enjoy the scenery?" He held his laughter back from the playful jest. His right hand rest over hers laying across his torso. The Piebald stallion snorted a hard breath when they made there way through the trail toward a house in the near distance. [d]
Jelenah: Jelenah had wanted to show Balian a few other places in and around Turas Lan. She knew they would be nearing the home of Raven and Kaelyn and decided that perhaps introducing Balian to them wouldn't hurt while they were out this way. Several people directed them in the correct direction as Jelenah was not too familiar with this area being here only once before back when the couple married. The fair hair maiden held firmly to Balian's form as her arms were wrapped snuggly around him. She had not wanted to ride her on steed out here, still not at all that comfortable with the beast and thus being the reason they rode Balian's together. The Knight spoke and Jelenah's brows arched as she chuckled. "Is that so Sir Balian?" She paused a moment. " I suppose you wish to receive injuries then on this night... as I am not to good with horses....remember?" She jested back.<d
Kaelyn: ** Kae smiled when she felt the comforting hands of her husband on her back. She turned to look at him " Aye, my heart just a bit queasy... please do not worry" her voice was soft as she spoke. " How is the moving going?" she asked as she watched her cousin Rhys walk back to the house and smiled softly. Resting her hands on her stomach she rubbed gently as if trying to help it to settle. The cloth Darius placed on her face was cool and soothing she leaned into it for a brief moment before she met his gaze. " I am fine really I am." she reassured him as she laid her head upon his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist. Kae felt weak before but never like this... she was a ranger and a Knight and not unused to feeling tired but sick... other than from injuries she had never been sick in her life. Her stomach flutter and rolled and she groaned at the feeling.**
Raven: He wrapped his arms around her and held her against him resting his chin atop her pretty blonde head, his hand rubbing gently against her back. " Ye should rest love." But his ears would pick up the approach of riders and he would turn his head to wards the stone bridge to see who came down the path, The man he did not recognize but the tiny woman who rode behind him he did. He kissed Kae's temple and whispered. " We have our first house guests my heart." (d)
Balian: He grinned lopsidedly and looked from the road back over his shoulder at Jelenah. "Aye.. I should think so.. .. I have not been wounded in nearly four months now. I beginning to get soft." He gave another look toward the road. "Would Balian Windsor: you still care for me if I was.. a fragile weakling?" Not that Balian could ever be that sort of man. It just wasn't in the cards nor the blood. Just then the house ahead came more into view. Icy blues drift across the grounds while Balian Windsor: he drew back on the reigns to bring the war horse to a hold. "Tis a fine house.. this, this is where they live?"[d]
Jelenah: The Lady In Waiting would continue grinning while Balian gave his reply and she chuckled. Then with his following question she turned a bit more serious and nodded. "Well of course I would...I could never leave you, no matter your condition." She leaned over a bit to look passed him as her small five foot five frame was easily hidden by his six foot six frame. "This is the spot yes... so this must be their home. And a lovely one it is..." She added as she would stare in awe. <d
Kaelyn ** Bright blue eyes the color of the sky in summer on a cloudless day looked to where Darius was looking and saw riders approaching. The ranger stood beside her husband looking every bit the beauty she was... and very regal as well. She wore a dress of deep hunter green with gold threading on it. On the sleeves in gold was the symbol of her country as well as a small Raven. Long golden hair fluttered gently in the warm breeze... seeing Jelenah was on the back of the horse she waved and smiled. "Aye, husband company indeed.." she said in Arganian to him. She waited at his side as they rode closer.**
Raven: He smiled at her taking in her slightly paler parlor before letting his green gaze wander to those who approached. He lifted his hand in greeting. " Good eve Tae ye. Welcome tae Raven's Crest." This he called to Balian and Jelenah. He studied Balian a moment thinking perhaps he had heard of the man during one of his recent trips into town. The Knight himself was dressed in black and Gold. Not only the colors for the Griffin but his own clan colors as well. Black breeches, black tunic each trimmed in gold. (d)
Balian: "Mmhmm" He nodded in agreement, having quickly forgotten their ongoing jest when the landscape and home hand been taken into the attentive knights scope. He let the reigns rest against the saddle before he slid from the mount ... Spurred heels chimed against the ground his long white cloak snapped back against his calves and his hand lift up to help Jelenah from the horse. He turned his head and smiled politely toward the Knight and Ranger and bowed his head to them. "Good evening." [d]
Jelenah: The golden blond continued to look the home over, still at a loss for words, but soon she came to attention when she heard the voices of both Kaelyn and Raven greet them. "G'eve to you both.... I hope you do not mind us stopping unannounced. We were out riding, showing Balian places in and around Turas Lan." She took Balian's hand and dismounted, turning to face
the couple once more. "You have a lovely home." She added as she looked to Balian and back. "Balian, this is Sir Darius and Dame Kaelyn Urquhart-Raven. Darius... Kaeyln...this is Sir Balian Windsor." <d
Kaelyn: ** Kae's smile widened at her guests " Good Eve Lady
Jelenah... Sir." Kae said with a graceful nod of her head. " Aye, welcome and friends never need to be announced." she said as they walked toward them. " Thank you Jelenah we are pleased to see you." she looked at the man as Jelenah introduced them " Sir Balian.. an honor to meet you." she bowed gracefully to
him. Many here knew her background... and those that did not would be able to tell that she was no ordinary ranger. Kae had a regal way about her and though she did not up play the fact she was born of royal blood she could neither hide her upbringing. It was in the way she spoke and carried herself. " Would you
like something to drink maybe a tour?" she turned to her husband and laced her fingers with his smiling all the while though she was still a bit pale.**
Raven: He smiled warmly to them. " Good Evening Lady Jelenah. " Then a hand was held out to Balian for a warriors grasp. " Pleasure tae meet ye Sir Balian." He nodded firmly then took his wife's hand and gave her a careful look before adding. " Aye come in have a drink. Th' place is still in disarray because we are jus' moving in bu' ye are welcome tae come in and
refresh yerselves." (d)
Balian: His own gaze drift from the couple back to Jelenah and then back when she introduced them. Once more the veteran Knight bowed his head with a charming smile. "I am honored to meet you both. ..Lady Jelenah..speaks very highly of you both." He had reached out to claim Darius's hand with a single nod and a firm shake. "Aye.. I should like a drink.. and none of this.. disarray.. You have a lovely home." He smiled back toward Jelenah and extend his hand back to her once more before they walked. [d]
Jelenah: A smile came to those full lips and she nodded."Thank you... and if it would not be to much trouble, water would be greatly appreciated." She then glanced to Darius and back to Kae. "A tour? Well.. if you both are up to having a couple inside, of course." She said with a smile. Her gaze shifted to Balian as he spoke and then offered his hand. She took it, letting her fingers lace with his as they began to close the distance from one couple to the next. The lil Slavic woman did notice how pale Kae looked and she asked in concern. " Kaelyn... are you feeling alright?" Hoping the woman was fine and if not, if Jelenah could help some how, she would be glad to.<d
Kaelyn: ** A fine time for Kae's stomach to act up she paled a bit
more and staggered on her feet. She grabbed Darius's arm to steady herself " It will be a pleasure to show you around." she quickly righted herself and acted as if nothing were wrong. She turned toward the house " I cannot wait to have everything moved in and in its place and besides it will be different
from sleeping in our tent back in our camp with our Knight's" she chuckled as she began to lead the way through a small garden to the front of the house. Darius right beside her as always, the couple was so in love it practically radiated off them. Newly married and just back from their honeymoon and already they had guests did it get any better than this?? she wondered to herself**
Raven: He frowned as she stumbled holding her up by placing an arm around her slender frame giving Jelenah a reassuring nod as she asked her question on Kae's health who seemed to either not hear the question or ignored it. Knowing his wife the latter was the case. He lead them into the house making sure to seat his wife in a chair near the fireplace. (d)
They all sat together in the spacious room and talked together. Shared stories and wine and then Darius and Kae took them on a tour of the house. Kae explained as they walked how things will look when all is arranged and in its place. They all conversed a bit more and then noticed the hour was growing late, Darius and Kae walked Jelenah and Balian back out to their mount and bid them Good evening and said they could come back anytime to visit.
They watched their friends ride away and together walked back into the house hand in hand.
Raven: Darius came up behind her and placed his hand on her back his voice gentle and concerned. " Are ye alright love?"
