Pheaura brought her tea to the table at looked at Nelphean. She tried to smile for him, but it didn't work. She wanted to as so many things of this elf. Just so she would know she was right doing this. To her he always seemed so wise. Part of her even wanted to see Rain, Kellendel, and Xail again if they could make the world right for just a minute.
She took a sip of her tea. "How are you today, Nelphean?"

Nelphean chuckled at Ecara's tone, "My prison was not a happy place, but lets keep my mind in the present and away from old wounds and all shall be not sad." The elf felt the crowd growing which made him feel anxious, he didn't like being around large crowds...
Jewel left following a snake, which made Nelphean thankful Nailah was not here. He turned his head towards Rand, and noticed a change about her presence. He smiled, and looked back at Ecara. "The kitchen is ever the popular morning retreat."
"My brothers friends can only help you as much as you are able to be helped, and they would not wish to bring any angst to you. They are friends to all who would be my brother's friend, and enemy to all who are Nelphean's enemy." The elf said to Pheaura. For some reason, Nelphean could never say I am fine.

Rand swallowed, feeling very nervouse. She wasn't sure she would let anytihng slip here...not with her Brothers still so close by...but could she be to careful at this point?
She gulped, "H...Howdy, Little One. What's your name?"

A wag of tail at the response and she twitched her ears and gave a giggle. As Nelphean's attention seemed to get divided away, Rand's was on Ecara, making the bond child not even pout from it all. "I'm Ecara." She took a sniff of the air in her direction. "Mommy's mentioned you." Another smile and she slid her plate of orange pieces across the table to Rand. "Want some?"

Pheaura looked at Nelphean, "I really have to stop thinking so loud around you. I didn't mean that they would make me happy, I meant that they would help get my mind off things. When I frst meet people and talk to them I let them become my focus beucase I am getting to know them. I am not saying that I am not focoused on you. I am because we are conversing, but the thought is there in the back of my head."

Rand took a piece, then pushed the plate back toward Ecara. "Oh? And what has your mother said about me?"
She smiled a bit, the child was undeniably cute, and polite. She only listened half heartedley to Nelphean and Pheaura. Just like Cymarron with his hugs and his purring, this child made her smile with her innocence. She had never been around kids before, and now she finally understood what would drive a mother to have one.
She did however, spare a glance for Nelphean, remebering what he had said to her after their fight with Errtu.

The elf looked at her and smiled, "Well, we could always ask them to come here, though that Tea certainly did a number on Kellendel and Rain. Maybe after they sleep for a while, they will be more cheerful." The elf offered.
"How many psions are in this manor, You, me, Nailah, Elias has his moments?"
"One of us has a bad dream, the others get a head ache, but Elias seemse lucky, his mind is still mostly shut."
He returned Rand's glare with one of his own, rather cool, but not cold."I don't think you will ever intend to hurt her." The elf looked back at Pheaura before turning his head towards the friendly Ecara.
"And you wonder why I call you Princess, precious."

Pheaura thought for a moment. "I think thats it. Taig is a little bit, but I haven't seen around lately. He has been stalking Aura." She had not seen Taig, or heard from him in many days. She wondered what he was up to.
Taig was in fact by Aura. He was just outside her window watching her sleep. He grinned as he fed on her power while she slept. He reveled that such a beautiful, and strong woman looked so gentle in her sleep.

Ecara took to eating the last few pieces on the plate. Normally she would of been done way before now, but the lack of fangs was holding her back, seeing as she used those teeth mainly. Endure it, they would grow back. "She told Saradin Phoenix about you. Your name is Rand, right? I know your smell from Cymarron. You're on him, and my daddy told me you were what my nose was smelling." She stated in a matter of fact manner. People had to wonder if the girl really had any imagination of her own at all. At her Nelphean given nickname he earned a piece of her attention, giving him a trademark giggle and twitch of ears. Tp Pheaura. "Who's doing what to mommy?" She was concerned now.

No, Nelphean The Protector. I will never intend to hurt children
Her slight telepathic abilities, given to her by Elias, or perhaps only strengthened by Elias, had her responding in kind without much thought to it. If Nelphean had been any further away though, she doubted she would have been able to respond. Her mind's voice was faint, not much more than a whisper.
"Yes, I am Rand The Raven.," she told the little girl, although she could see that Ecara was distracted with concern for her mother. That Taig, he was a strange one.

Cymarron woke in his Den, yawning loudly, listening to some of the voices only he heard, snorting at some, agreeing with others...and checked again the box with the liqour in it. all the wards intact, the three locks designed for two bone keys and his own serrated claw untouched. he grinned lightly..and moved out toward the kitchen, with two more containrs of deer and wolf milk.
"good morning, packmates, sister.."
He nodded to each, and moved to put the jugs in teh fridge, before, hsi tail tickled Ecara lightly..and he glanced at Pheaura, still not too pleased how she had ran out last evening..but the elf was more his concern at present.
"Tell us, Brightsaber...is your twin still around, or has he goen to play with the trio we met last evening..adn if you saw them...did they like our tea we made them?"

Attention expertly divided now, the trait learned from her parents. One ear faced Pheaura, the other rotated to Rand, followed by a slight look to the woman. "Why are you called a Raven?" That made little sense to her. Sure, nicknames had been explained and figured out. But this sounded like a title. Like Saradin Phoenix. So what was Rand's title's purpose? A slight giggle at Cymarron's tail before she captured its end.

Pheaura looked to Ecara, "I am sorry, Ecara, I have no clue as to what yuo are talking about. I didn't know anyone was doing anything to your mother. Give me a second and let me see if I can find out whats going on." She closed her eyes to let her mind wander to find Aura's energy wave. Nothing. She searched for her room specifically. Nothing. Blackness. Someone had put up a mental block. Her eyes fluttered open. "I am afraid I can't sense anything. There is a mental block up around the room. Inside and out."

"Good morning, brother."
Then to Ecara, "To explain that I have to tell a little story. You see, most natives people believed that the raven brought life to the earth. They say that the raven carried the first two humans here inside a giant clam shell. They thought that the raven, having brought life, could also take life away." She frowned a moment, remebered this encounter from over 500 years ago. "an old shaman once told me that I was a raven. I would take life from the land wherever I went. Thus, they called me Raven, and I had no care to change it."
Rand sipped her tea from her horn mug. "it's not a nickname, it's who I am."

She really just stared at Pheaura. That made no sense to the child at all, so she fell back on her own knowledge. Mommy was with both daddy and Saradin Phoenix. She would be fine. Shaking her head and shifting around she looked to Rand again, her newest source of understandable knowledge. "Raven Rand....like Saradin Phoenix." Unbeknown to Rand, she had just partially associated that name to herself, if Ecara hadn't of heard "Rand" before the association, well Rand would of been stuck like Saradin; as Saradin Phoenix, never just Saradin. At least Rand's name was interchangeable to the child.
