*On a nearby table was a platter of fruit, cheese, and cold meats. Sen was gone, though they thought they could here a sound of a flute-like instrument coming from the balcony...*

(ha finally an opening)

Deawen fell asleep in the court yard shortly after Eston left for a drink she was too bored to read or practice. she was asleep in a chair near the tree. she wondered if Sen was alright she kept watch with her minds eye. Arenel yipped once Deawen woke she snapped at her then fell back asleep. " what will happen if they find out your gift? they don't know people fear what they don't understnd..." her fathers words ecohed around her. Deawen began to dream of her family her past... then it turned to darkness she screamed then she woke what was it?

Adastrea shifted slightly in her sleep when Thinren stroked her back gently. She relaxed, which was rare for her. After a while, her blue eyes fluttered open and she lifted her head and looked at him, happy to see him awake, but slightly embarrassed as to how she had fallen asleep. "How are you feeling?" She asked softly, noting that Sen was no where in sight. She could hear a flute being played softly and she smiled slightly.

Deawen gripped the chair arm's her grip was of fire it scorched the wood.

Thinren smiled.
"A lot better knowing you are well."
He stroked her back again and tried to sit up with a slight groan.
"My shoulder is still a bit sore but that will go soon. What happened to him? I remeber seeing you and then it got dark."

She smiled slightly and relaxed a little. "Just rest, Thinren" SHe said softly. When he asked her what happened she looked down, "I cut him and ran. Him and Sen were close to fighting, but Balor walked away. He will be back I am sure..."

He frowned and sighed.
"I should have stayed with you, it was foolish of me to let you go alone."
He let his head drop.
"I almost failed you..."

She bit her lip and gently lifted his head with her hand and looked in his eyes, "You did not almost fail me, I am stubborn and would have found a way to go alone. Do not put the blame on yourself..."

Deawen opened the gate to the street she ran back inside to her room she changed into a fresh dress it was a light blue with a gray over lap she opened a bottol and poured it on her hands she rubbed it through her hair. it turn a dark brown she looked like one of the gondorians maidens. she scoffed the rushed out the doors of her home. she dared not use her gift after what happened. she came to the barracks she stood out side. a few soldiers whistled at her but she made no eye contact she walked past the soldiers and found Thinren and Adastrea she rolled her eyes playfully she heard a flute being played she turned and walked towards the balcony she saw Sen she smiled his back was to her she walked up behind him. she listened to the tune of the flute then with a clear voice she sang a melody along with the flute.

*Sen finished the song, before he stopped playing the ocarina. He put it back in a pouch, and turned to Deawen.*
I am glad to see you are back to your old lively self, my lady. Thinren and Adastrae are inside. Shall we return to them, or did you want to speak with me?

I see. Then lets go inside, and keep the others company.
*Sen got up off the railing, and began to walk back inside.*

Adastrea looked down slightly, then back in Thinren's eyes. "You did not fail me, I am still alive and well. You cannot fight the world for me, my lord. Balor is powerful, he will always find a way." She said softly. When Sen and Deawen walked back in she looked up at them and dropped her hand, sitting back slightly.

Deawen sat down she examined her now brown hair she forgot about it for a moment she smiled at the thought she forgot... Deawen put her hands in her lap she sat up straight.

Thinren sat up, letting a small hiss of pain seep out his lips. He glanced at Adestrea and shot a smile then turned his attention back to Sen and Deawen.
"Ah Sen I believe I owe you my life. I thank you dearly"
He bowed his head.
