The Forest Children of Medicia

“She’ll be happy. Despite being the Camp Mother, she doesn’t get to many Warriors.” Keid replied with a sidelong glance at Arriyen. A moment’s consideration and Keid’s grin turned mischievous. “Don’t tell her I told you, but she’s alright with it. She says that even if none of the Children choose her for a Guardian, none of you escape her care, so she can still look after everyone. “

 

Ananke peered up at Arriyen with an expression to match Keid’s in nature. Reaching out a hand to her twin, Ananke grasped the hand that rested on the back of Keid’s neck. Both twins were silent as they looked at Arriyen as though taking her in and deducing her nature. The moment of curious silence from Keid was broken by the laughter that bubbled out of Ananke’s and Ophian’s mouths. “Me and ‘Phian, think she’d be good for Mommy and Keid. ‘Phian agreed with me.”

Arriyen smiled a little more. "She just seems very...homely. Like the mother that I don't have." She said and shut up when she realised she was letting out more that she felt like giving out to people. Even if it was Keid. Though she noticed the twins stare at her as if trying to figure out who's lunch they where going to raid next. Arriyen felt her face redden a little and she shifted her collar a little under the children's stare. "Wh-What does that mean?" She cried slightly embarrassed.

Nenileth quickly looked up from where she was kneeling when she heard a voice in the doorway. "No. They weren't any trouble at all. I suppose the mischievous habits of small dragons is a part of what makes them so endearing as well." She sent her gaze back to focusing on her task of cleaning up. "The morning has been quite chilly. I've always enjoyed cooler temperatures, but they do nothing to help the sick. I've had a rather uneventful morning though, besides treating Kiva's wing, and that was no trouble at all; the patients in here are doing well, but I haven't had a chance to check in on the Children who are sick in their tents. That will be after breakfast."

No trouble? They interrupted my sleeping time, Tassin commented in Nenileth's mind.

Shush, Tas. You needed to get up anyways, she replied.

Nenileth had finally gathered all of the spilled clay-ware, stood up and set them on the table. Taking a small rag, she poured some water from the kettle onto the rag and went to work wiping down the used utensils.

"The herbs for Kiva are on the pillow next to her. If she needs anything stronger for the pain or something to help her sleep, just let me know and I'll set you up with something," Nenileth told Syria. Nenileth paused for a moment. "Uh...Syria. May I ask you something?"

Nenileth stared down at her hands relatively blankly. "Have you spoken with Artemis lately? I haven't seen much of him around Camp recently. I know he's busy with everything he has to do, but he seems to be unusually distant lately. I'm...uh...I worry for his health." She set back to scrubbing with new tenacity.

Kiia hadn't been paying attention to the girl till now, while she was packing everything she thought she might need on her travels, but at these last words she looked up.

"Hm, I suppose we could use your Abilities for this assignment..." As she saw the hurt look on her friends face she rolled her eyes and added: "And I don't think the trip will be boring with you around."

She sighed. She wasn't good with niceties. After joining the Viridel Orvin had taught her not to show much affection to anyone. Needless to say, Orvin was not a supporter of her friendship with Nima. That reminded her, she still had to pay Orvin a visit... Well that could wait, she still had some time left. She looked up at Nima.

"I've been wondering... You always know everything that happens. Why don't you use those skills of yours to gain info about the Children?"

((Yeah, I'm really sorry. When it rains it pours.T.T Last month did not like me at the second half at all, but I swear I'll be better. On the plus side Mary had her baby and is off of bed rest. Also the addition of her husband being home I don't have to spend so much time helping her. So, did I miss anything?>.>))

((Thanks. Still sorry about being gone.))

 

"Only what I said. You'd b good for Mommy and Keid." Ananke was full on in her smile as she beamed at Arriyen. A tug from her twin had the phoenix-child rolling her eyes. "Oh, alright, I 'xplain. 'Phian thinks you could make them safer when Mommy and Keid go to play war games. "

 

"They mean scouting, by the way." Keid grinned at Arriyen. "It was the best we could explain our shift to them. Ananke might try to fool you, but adult things still boggle the kid."

"Come now, Nenileth, I'm your Camp Mother. You may ask anything of me and I'll do my best to answer or help." Syria hesitated on her answer, shifting her stance in a show of her own worry. "My brother sees to his own health if you're worried in that regard. I see to it that he does. He has indeed been very busy with planning the preparations for not only the Anointings coming up, but also the war against the Viridel. For the most part Artemis has kept to his tent with a few of our strategists. Don't worry so, dear friend. For what it is worth, Nenileth, he does not mean to make you worry. I'll let my brother know he should stop in for a once over and to visit. He needs a break anyway. Now would you care for breakfast with me?"

Arriyen smiled a little. "Ah, I see." It did seem to make things a little lighter for the children. "That war game, seems a little bit scarier than just scouting don't you think?" She asked with a slightly raised eyebrow and tucked more hair behind her head.

Keid shifted his hold on Ananke to avoid shrugging. "I suppose it'd sound that way to others. It's just Syria didn't want to lie to them when they asked about why we left at night. The children play different war games in the camp to prepare them for what duties they might have later. Like preemptive training."

 

Ananke struggled to be set down when she caught sight of the dining tent a few wards away. It was with a tickle and a nudge, that Keid complied sending the little girl off followed shortly by her twin. "The children's games were the best she could think off in the end."

Arriyen nodded mutely. "I see, it seems slightly sad to me." She shook her head to clear her thoughts. "Oh well, can't change life." She mumbled and looked at the ground.

((Woah, thought I replied to this a long time ago))
