Time Goes By

[bauldin]

Sorry you know what Moss and myself have been talking about, please enlighten me I haven't spoke to Moss in the last couple of days.

[Aldacot]

Aldacot smiles shyly

Yes, I do remember, but after all this time (it's been so long), I didn't want to impose. But since you so kindly remind me...

He gets up, and orders some food and then rejoins the others. Once it comes over, he starts eating heartily.

So then, Kerrigan, you were saying that you're in a hurry? Well, I will see - I'm not a hurrying type, but I can in emergencies.

He considers the conversation between Kriska and Kerrigan and smiles amused.

You're not all telepathic and reading each other's minds, are you?

[Gumboots]

*Kriska looks very sad and down at her feet, she shakes her head at Aldacot.*

"I know about what Moss was planning for Traveller. He wrote me a letter. He also explaned to me that you were going away and that he might not come back with you."

[bauldin]

Ah yes that conversation do not worry Moss will be quite safe with me but if he does not want to come back I will not try and force him.

Seeming quite Angry now
And no Aldacot we are not telepathic

Then just as suddenly he is calm again

I am leaving Sanga for a long journey once I have finished eating, I will pick up Moss and the head to a druids glade though not the one I will end at.

**Kerrigan**

[Aldacot]

Aldacot sighs woefully.

Sorry, it was a bad joke. But anyway, this trip, if it's as dangerous as it's beginning to sound, I hope that all goes well for you, and that you find your druid.

[Gumboots]

*Kriska looks up when she hears about a druids glade.*

"I have a glade its very nice I have a stream running though it...in fact I have two."

*She giggles contentadly to herself*

"I have not met any other Druids for a while do you know which direction they are in? Also is it not just rude to go woundering into a glade of a druid without asking?"

[bauldin]

So Kriska where is your Glade cause you seem to spend most of your time in one or more pubs and tarverns
Kerrigan says this with a sly smile and a wink

I am friends with this one and he has said that if I want him to just go straight in, and he will find me.

Right well I need another drink and as I am paying for yours I might as well go and collect them so what will it be also leave my food alone while I am gone

Raising from the table and then waits for the drinks order


**Kerrigan**

[Aldacot]

Aldacot downs his ale and glances up.

Thanks, Kerrigan, I will have mead this time, I think, I could do with a change.

He looks at Kriska.

Yes, I like glades, they are nice and peaceful.

A mischievous glint lights up in his eye.

Especially those with streams, although, maybe "peaceful" wouldn't always be the right word then...

[Gumboots]

*Kriska smiles gleefully at the talk of taverns*

"I have not entered a tavern for 5 days. I have been in my one glade here all that time. I am waiting for someone I hope to get to know better here. As for a drink I have not started my first yet but if you could please bring over some cheese and bread that would be nice?"

*She turns back to Aldacot*

"I do not hear the stream when I am meditating, there is a tree there also that is really comfy so I sit in that and meditate. Anyway what have you been up to latly?"

[bauldin]

Kerrigan hops over to the bar and orders another tankard of Dragons tear and a mug of mead he also orders some bread and cheese to be sent over he returns with the 2 drinks

The food will be over shortly Kriska, so will you answer my question as to where your glade is then?
And really you managed to stay out of a tarvern for 5 days I am impressed.

I still say that water is only ever peaceful with over a nice fire so that you can make a drink and warm your toes by, that reminds me,

Kerrigan turns to the fire and seeing that it isn't lit, flicks some fire into it to get it going

Now that is better should warm up nicely


**Kerrigan**

[Aldacot]

An expression of sadness and despair crosses over Aldacot's face for a brief second but quickly turns into a grin.

Oh, not a lot; just been looking around the area trying to find something. But it's always the way: you look for something and you don't find it.

He greatfully accepts the mug that Kerrigan has brought over.

Thank you, that's kind of you. And don't underestimate the value of water for meditation, Kerrigan; I can sit for ages in a deep lake and think of the deeper aspects of life.

[bauldin]

Kerrigan just finishes off his plate
Well I have finished now so unless one of you has anything important that you need me to hear I will be off if you need to contact me just write me a letter, otherwise I am afraid I must leave now so I bid you both goodbye and I will see you two around


Kerrigan gets up and heads to the door


**Kerrigan**

[Aldacot]

Aldacot waves goodbye to Kerrigan.

Goodbye, Kerrigan.

He turns to Kriska and lets out a yawn.

Well, I am sorry, Kriska, but I shall leave you. I am very tired and I need some rest, see you soon.

He gets up and leaves.

[Gumboots]

*Kriska waves to the pair as they leave*

"Bye"

*She remains in her seat eating the bread and cheese and dinking the remainder of the mead and water. After a long while she herself gets up and heads home.*

*The following evening she returns to the Graceful Elf and sits and waits once more ever watching the door just incase someone does enter that she is waiting for.*

[Mr Bunnsy]

Toshi, clutching a letter in one hand and a stick in the other, pushed his way through the doors of the Graceful Elf. He was wearing the same clothes he wore yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that and, well, the same clothes he wore when he landed here. His long black coat was starting to fray, though the mud stains did a fairly good job of holding the whole thing together.

"Bartender," he barks, "I need water, something to eat and none of your impertinent tongue."

With the matter of dinner now sorted, Toshi looked around and noticed Kriska, who seemed to be staring at the door. With a slight grin, he wanders over to her table, then grabs a chair. Turning it around, he straddles it and rests his elbows upon the back of the chair, having realised it was the most comfortable way of sitting on these blasted things.

"I got the letter. Well, I had to get the human to read it for me. Would you be willing to.. answer some questions?"
