Frey Frey turned her normal green again. "Oh okay well they always do a good job." She ehard someone playing a flute gently and she was automatically drawn to the music. "I forgot how nice they played." She waved Julian to follow her.

(Ok, so we might have to do some weird time stuff, it depends on whether or not Valencrow's and I's plans move quickly enough in Altdorf)
Red Dawn arrived at the fringes of Drey Wood in the midmorning, everyone had either had breakfast or was finishing up. Balthier was at the helm, with Tira who knew Drey Wood better than anyone else aboard, and understood the Wood Elves' ways.
The Wood Elves did not have airfield, instead they asked the trees to grow platforms wit their branches and leaves large enough for the airships to land on. When Balthier radioed down that they would like to land the Wood Elves did this and a new platform was created. It was a very soft landing since the tree moved with them to ease the landing. Also in this same tree platform not too far away was a beautiful golden airship, many Imperial guards were around it, but they did not pay any attention to the Red Dawn.
"Welcome to Drey Wood. Please enjoy this beautiful place while we are here, for perhaps a day or two, then next stop.... honestly I am not quite sure where," Balthier announced over the intercom.
When they landed Zark muttered to himself, "I hate trees that move."
Valen exited his quarters in his finest red cloak and red silk clothes, he did not however carry his sword, knowing that where he went it would not be permitted.

Vhaidra smiled at Zark's mumbles. "Its okay Zark I hate them too who knows when a branch will halt my flying around?" She stretched out though.
Cryoalpha sat silently the entire night for the most part but he worried over Eoma some. That morning he was in the kitchen tyring to chase Luna around so he could hold her and get her to trust him. So far all he had gotten was a hiss.
Lily came out of her room a little later then the rest after she knew they had landed she decided to go out. She shut her door silently and sighed as she plopped down on a chair in the kitchen. She looked very worn out and tired as well but she hadn't been able to sleep very well either. "I'm sorry guys I tried to keep it down... I'm going to need new sheets and blankets though are there spares?"
Luna escaped cryoalpha by jumping onto Lily and burrowing into her lap. Giving a small growl when Lily touched her. She smield,"Sorry... she uhhh doesn't seem to be use to you."
Cryoalpha went to Eoma instead then,"I was trying to help the feline get use to animated moving objects." He seemed a bit hurt the cat didn't like them it looked very soft to hold.
Vhaidra smiled at Eoma,"So have you ever seen the elves before? They have the best gardens if you wnat to go walk around with me for a bit as well." She thoguth she would get a hold of the new girl while she had the chance Tira would most likely be busy here as well. Vhaidra would try to save Eoma her ears.

Resting on hand on Cryoalpha protectively, Eoma nodded, "Sure, I've never been outside Karaz'kan, so all this stuff is kind of new to me." Her eyes were fixed on the large trees and the vegetation. How could it all be so green? Without removing her gaze from the trees, she responded to Cryo, "I'm sure she'll get used to you eventually, though chasing her around won't help. She'll come to you when she feels like it." She gave a brief second to look down at him with a smile, and then went back to her staring.

Vhaidra smiled,"Good you'll like it I am sure." Vhaidra was glad that Eoma seem to not be as emotional and girlish as Lily Vhaidra didn't hate lily for it of course. in fact she liked her but Vhaidra did't know how to handle those things. Tira was a better one for it also Lily had Benvolio whom she seemed to cling too a little more then others anyways. "We do have some business here though but other then that we should be free to do what we want."

Valen tried sneaking off the ship unnoticed, but of course Tira was there to notice him. "Hey Valen! Where are you going in Drey Wood, Balthier said that you wanted to come here specifically."
He turned to face her, "I am going to see if I can meet with the Ellcrys. I have met with her before and I am hoping she can help me again."
"Ah, I see..." Tira thought about it for a moment and then said, "well I have never met the Ellcrys, would you mind if I came along?"
Valen was kind of surprised that she had never met the Ellcrys, it was something that he thought all Wood Elves tried to do at least once in their life. "Yes, you can come with me."
***
Balthier trotted into the kitchen and looked around at everyone there and thought on who he should spend the day with. Zark was sitting mostly alone while chewing on a bone left over from dinner last night, "Zark, you busy?"
"Nuh-uh," he said through his chewing.
"Then how about you and I go out and enjoy this place as much as possible."
"I hate Wood Elf food."
"Yeah, they do tend to cook it...but they do make good wine."
The thought of alcohol perked Zark's interest since they had so little on Red Dawn. "Ok, I'll come, but I am NOT eating no salad!"
"Heh, alright Zark," Balthier turned to the rest of the people there, "anyone else want to come with us?"

(Doesn't the full moon last three nights in a row?)Lily smiled,"I will come with." What better therapy then to get drunk and not talk about things?
Vhaidra over heard the conversation. She had been wnated to visit the Ellcrys when her mother and father had told her about it some. She was worried about what she might hear though but since Valen was going... It wouldn't hurt to see what she had to say right? "Do you wnat to go see the Ellcrys has to say first as well? It might be intresting if nothing else and if not I can meet up with you later I just figured you didn't wnat to be left alone and feel like we were going to leave you here."
Cryoalpha decided he wanted to see the trees and everything as well. It was all new too him compared to the rocks and metal and fumes of the place he was born in. The air was so much cleaner here not that he needed to breath but he could tell still. "Eoma the air will be better for your health." He said matter of fact like. He would be following her of course.

Balthier thought about it, on the one hand he didn't believe in Seers, too many he had met before were just con-artists, but the Ellcrys was considered the best. "Alright, first a quick fortune telling, then getting drunk."
"Whatever you say cap'n," Zark said, just now finishing chewing the bone.

"Sure, I'll go to this Ellcrys person, uh what are they exactly?" Before Eoma could wait for the answer, she heard the prospect of alchohol. She hadn't had any in 24 hours! "I'm up for getting some elven booze too!" She seemed to perk up quite a bit at the concept, although it was probably nothing compared to the dwarven stuff.

Vhaidra chuckled,"A seer. She tells prophecies of course not staright out. I don't like playing around with words but I can figure out riddles quite well so it should be intresting."
It seemed everyone would be getting smashed tonight Vhaidra wasn't going to miss out on it. Her parents had never let her drink before and she hadn't done it yet becuase it was more casual with just three people. Now it seemed like a party Vhaidra could try it out some. "Sounds like a party what place are we going to crash about in the ship? Or do they have bars here as well?" She tried to picture a tree made bar.

" Fortune telling and drinking are seldom good companions. Far to often a bad portent will find itself realized if due to nothing more then a night trying to drink away the sorrow of having received it. " Having come out of his room Benvolio was dresses in some handsome yet functional woods gear. His ever present violin strapped to his back. " I guess I should go with the lot of you if only to prevent any sorrows from befalling my dear sweet flowers. Worry not little blossoms for I will ward away any unwanted fates with but the whisper of my voice."
( Beni is getting all delusional again lol. I think it was the prospect of said flowers getting drunk that lured him out.)

Lily smiled as she saw Benvolio come out of his room. For some reason Benvolio always made here feel better maybe it was all the compliments going to her head. But being a girl that hadn't gotten many in her small town or really any type of good attention it was a rather nice change to her.
Cryoalpha was completly confused with the talk of flowers. "You protect flowers with your voice? What a strange thing...." He pointed outside to all the trees and flowers,"There are plenty though perfect place for you."

Balthier chuckled at Cryoalpha's response, "ok, well I guess we should get going. I think I saw Valen leaving just a little while ago."
When they had gone outside Valen and Tira hadn't gotten very far away, which was part of Tira's plan of course to make Valen hang out with the group for a change. Valen sighed, "are all of you coming to see the Ellcrys as well?" He already knew the answer. "Well, let us hope we are lucky and are permitted an audience."
Wood Elves patrolled the tree land pads for the airships. Their gear had not changed much through the centuries since they refused to use 'modern' technology. Most carried long bows, spears, and swords but a couple also carried crossbows. There were also some High Elves who did not mind using modern technology and they carried guns and swords for the most part.
When some of the guards saw both an Orc and a Drow they noticeably tightened their grips on their weapons, particular the Wood Elves who loved their home very much. But they made no other move against them.
(It can be hard to tell Elves apart from other Elves, but basically it is their outlook on life. Wood Elves love nature, Dark Elves love cruelty, and High Elves just are majestic human like)

Eoma nearly commented about how Benvolio already sounded drunk, but Cryoalpha stopped her with his own comment and she grinned with pride at him.
As they wandered through the forest she gazed around with wide eyes, "Everything is so green and... organic." She mumbled softly. There were no machines in sight, save for Cryo. "Do Elves even have a smithy?" She asked, trying to picture the black hole that she knew to be a blacksmith in such a tranquil garden.

Vhaidra's sharp eyes didn't miss the tightening of the weapons. It took a moment to realize this was because of her somewhat. Irratation crossed her face. She didn't consider herself that type of drow anyways....
It didn't matter much thoguh they could hold on that everyone was the same. She knew diffrently and would be a person not to discrimnate against just because of what someone looked like or what they were.
She did make sure her swords were at her sides though because of the sheer numbers of people that hated drows could be dangerous especially if they all decided to move at once.
Vhaidra wondered if Zark noticed their movements when they were around. Vhaidra was very good at knwoing about who hated who for what reason. Drows have always been looked down at and so had orcs. "Hey Zark how are you doing with all these trees around you?"
