"I can perform something similar though less powerful, but I have a knack for making scrolls and other magical devices work the way they're supposed to." Sādhanā replies. "Though if it's something you created, that might be a bit outside of my abilities."
"Actually, you and the rest of your friends are probably a bit more powerful than I am now," Michael says.
Alethiro thinks for a moment. "I really don't have an idea. Perhaps a school should be a priority for Valwick."
"I don't think Sienna can teleport," Ylrhea muses.
She nods, "Yeah, that's next on my list of things to do. It's one of the reasons I wanted to go to Lysse with the girls. So I could talk to Baton Lawrence about maybe having some teachers come to Valwick. I don't know of anyone locally that would be able to do that and was hoping to outsource the position. We'd also need someone that could run the school. Everything in good time, right love?" She says while laying her head on his shoulder.
Alethiro nods.

She sighs, "Okay, I have the food together for the girls. They'll just have to pack it into their bag when they get here. So, what do you want to do love while we wait for them?" She asks as she looks up into his face.
Sienna knocks on Fae's door. "Fae? Are you in there?"
"Relaxing here with you is good," Alethiro says. "Unless you want to do something more active."
The elf thinks on his words. "Not in that way though. Celine's still awake."
She kind of giggles as she sits down with him on the couch and sighs, "I don't know if I have enough energy to do anything more active than cuddling." She says as she leans into him.
"I won't complain," Alethiro says as he puts an arm around his wife.
She sighs and snuggles into his side.
"Yes. Come on in." Fae answers from her room.
After being in her room for a while she gets bored and takes one of her books and her bear and goes to find mommy and daddy. Seeing them on the couch together she goes to them and puts her arms up while holding out her book, "I hold you? Read me?"
Sienna opens the door. "We need your help. We're trying to make this a quick trip to the Tower of Order and you might be able to help us with the 'getting back' part."
"Alright. I think I can do that, will it be just the three of us?" She asks.

"We all have our speacialties." Sādhanā says with a smile. "I should be able to handle it."
"No, there's Sadhana, Ylrhea, Tesia, Rhadaya and Pandi going along too," Sienna answers.
Alethiro takes Celine's book while she settles in Arista's lap. He then starts to read to his daughter.
"How many would you like?" Michael asks Sadhana.
Holding Celine while sitting on the couch next to her husband as he reads to her has her heart doing little fluttering things inside her chest. She kisses her daughter on the top of her head as she sits in her lap and listens to the story and tries not to look as sappy as she feels.
"Given how many are going, three....or four I think." Sādhanā says after doing a mental count.
Michael goes to his cabinet and retrieves four scrolls. "Here you are."
Alethiro finishes the story. "Did you like that, Celine?"
She nods and claps her hands, "Good story...good daddy...fank you." She says sweetly as she wraps her arms around him while pushing away from Arista to give him a kiss on the cheek. Sighing she kind of looks around, "What do now?"
"Thank you Micheal, what do I owe you?" Sādhanā asks reaching in the gold pouch in her belt.
Smiling she takes Celine and puts her down on the floor so she can stretch, "Well...there's a kitchen full of laundry that we need to go check and see if it's dry. If it is it needs to be folded up and put away. Since you were such a big girl and helped mommy and Marie wash it, would you like to help me fold it?"
She seems to think for a few minutes before answering, "I help mommy. I'm big girl." She looks over at daddy and points at him, "Daddy help too?"
Biting down on her lower lip to keep from chuckling she looks at Alethiro before looking back at Celine, "We'll see...maybe daddy will help us if he doesn't have something else he needs to do." Taking a moment to breath she looks at Alethiro with a smile, "Was there anything else you wanted or needed to do today honey, or would you like to help your girls with the laundry?" She asks, her tone loving and playful.
"I don't mind lending a hand," Alethiro says with a smile.

Michael waves his hand. "I'm sure you'll donate more money to the town or such eventually or I may call upon you for a favor. Go ahead and take them."
Celine just looks at him with her large violet colored eyes and holds out a hand to him while smiling.
She waits for Alethiro to stand up before holding her hand out to him, "I didn't think you would love. Let's go put some stuff away." She says while he helps her up off the couch. Putting her arms around him briefly for a quick kiss before following a laughing Celine into the kitchen.

"Alright, anytime you need anything, I'm sure you can find us." Sādhanā says with a smile taking the scrolls and storing them in her scroll case. "How goes the school?"
Alethiro follows behind his family into the kitchen.

"Things are going well," Michael says. "We have a new instructor who is teaching the children about history and geography. I've sent out for instructors who know mathematics, literature and mundane sciences, so that the students can become well-rounded. One of the soldiers offered to lead the children in physical activities."
Arista, Celine, and Alethiro go into the kitchen together. While Alethiro helps take down the dry clothing and towels, Arista takes the time to show Celine how to fold the towels and lets her do that while she and Alethiro handle folding and putting away the other things.
"That's an excellent idea! I'm a huge proponent for learning as much as you can about everything you can, and you never know when you'll need to deal with something a spell can't for one reason or another." Sādhanā replies with a smile.
"We should probably go meet up with the others now. Have a great day Micheal, and thank you again." the magus says grasping the wizard's forearm.
"No, there's Sadhana, Ylrhea, Tesia, Rhadaya and Pandi going along too," Sienna answers.
"My spell won't carry that many people unfortunately." Fae says.
"Maybe Sadhana figured some way to get us around," Sienna says. "Do you still want to go, Fae?"
Michael gives the magus a polite nod of his head. "Be safe out there."
"We do our best," Ylrhea says, getting up.
"I do, I'll be just a moment to get my things." Fae answers.
"Will do." Sādhanā says as they leave and head toward the beach.
"Okay, we'll wait in the living room," Sienna says, taking Cyna's arm.
"So...you think this'll be a quick trip?" Ylrhea asks as she and Sadhana approach the beach. She spies Tesia, Rhadaya and Pandi on the shore.
"Quicker than the last time we were there at least. If there really are people trapped there maybe a day to figure things out at most, but you never know." Sādhanā replies as they approach the others.
"Well here come Sādhanā and Ylrhea, so the others will probably be here in a little bit." Rhadaya says giving the Anizari and the gnome a wave of greeting.
Ylrhea waves back to Rhadaya. "I guess we'll see. Hopefully it isn't terribly eventful."
After about thirty minutes of walking, Clara sighs. "I think my feet need a rest. Where would you like to go?"
