The Reclamation of Zahvroma (Inactive)

Game Master Signore di Fortuna

Arista goes over to where the children are playing to get Celine as well.

She pats her belly, "I hungry mommy, I eat now?"

Nodding she says, "Yes Celine, you may have a sandwich with Nerah and Wilk as well as some lemonade after you finish your sandwich."

Aurelea's to be precise.

Sienna marvels at Gwen's swimming. "She picks up on things pretty quickly."

She wades back on shore, the drenched bra in her hand. The sorceress wrings it out before putting it back on. "Wish there was a spell for that..."

"Sounds like it would be an abuse of magic." Cyna laughs.

She helps Gwen dry off and says. "Rwy'n falch eich bod wedi hwyl. Rydych addaswyd yn gyflym, rydym yn y ddau argraff ar pa mor gyflym rydych yn dysgu pethau newydd."

It's the grave of Aurelea after she got cleaved in half by that demonic werewolf Reinhardt. Sadhana is pretty much who Aurelea came back as. So...she's dead, but not really.

She nods as she goes with Mommy to get something to eat and drink.

That's what I thought.

Getting to the Headstone, it had a name. Aurelea Winterspire. "This, is Sādhanā's former body. While I was held by Chalandra, a Dark Paladin Werewolf slew her. And through a process I do not quite understand, she became who she is now."

"I know you like seeing them hang free," Sienna says, getting her clothes on.

"Oh," Yulia manages. "It seems strange to keep a grave of someone who is alive."

Gwen smiles and gets dressed. "Diolch i chi, Mam. Rwy'n credu fy mod i'n gysglyd yn awr."

"Huh, I never thought of that."

Marie hands each of the children half a sandwich. "If Celine wants more, Arista, she can get another half."

Lucco fills up a cup with lemonade and hands two to Andres and one to Arista. "I figured it'd be best for the grown-ups to handle the drinks."

Nerah and Wilk sit down with their parents and eat their sandwiches. Queten also sits with the children, despite not having anything to eat yet. Marcus stands with Celenon and Marla by the fire.

Yulia shrugs. "There are stranger things in the world."

She nods, "We'll see how she does with the half first, thank you Marie." She gives her a smile as she takes the lemonade from Lucco and sits near the other children with Celine. Handing Celine the sandwich she says, "Here you are, if you're still hungry after you can have more okay?"

She gives mommy a smile before munching on the sandwich happily.

After Celine finishes about half of her half sandwich, Arista helps her take a couple sips of lemonade from the cup. Once she finishes her sandwich, which doesn't seem to take very long at all, Arista gives her a few more sips.

Setting the cup down she asks, "Are you still hungry Celine?"

She nods her head, "I hungry mommy."

Laughing Arista gets her the other half of her sandwich and watches as Celine grabs it with both hands and starts to practically inhale it. After reminding her to chew her food she gives her a couple more drinks before setting the cup back down and giggling at her daughters appetite.

"Oh that isss one thing I'll never complain about." Kāma says with a grin as she takes her bowl over to the sink and gives Elena a squeeze. "Feeling better now beloved?"

Nodding again she slows down and takes smaller bites as she chews her food more slowly. In a few minutes though her sandwich is all gone and having watched how mommy held the cup wraps both of her hands around it and drinks from it by herself without spilling it. Once she finishes her drink she holds her hands out to show they were empty. Smiling she says, "All done mommy."

Smiling she takes her waterskin and dampens a cloth before wiping Celine's face and hands with it. Once she's clean Arista gives her a hug, "Good job Celine. Thank you for using your words so nicely. Sit here with mommy and once Nerah and Wilk are done eating you may play with them again." She says as she sits back down with Celine.

Elena nods. "Much."

Nerah and Will go back to playing in the sand after finishing their sandwich and drink. Celenon starts serving everyone else the cooked deer.

"Quite true my Sweet, quite true."

Since the sand is hard for her to get around in, she just stays near Nerah and Wilk as they play.

At the smell of the cooked meat her stomach lets out a little rumble of its own. Tasting the meat she says, "Mmmm....this is really good."

"I think I fancy a swim. How about it?"

After a whispered discussion, Nerah goes over to Celine and rolls the ball on the sand toward her. Wilk goes up to Lucco. "Bucket, daddy?"

Lucco brings out a small battered pail and Wilk takes it gleefully. He runs toward the water, scoops up some wet sand and runs back to Nerah and Celine. He plops the wet sand out of the bucket. "We kin make a cassle!"

Celine smiles as she rolls the ball with Nerah. After Wilk dumps the wet sand near them Celine looks at it for a moment before crawling over to it and poking at it with one finger. Scrunching up her nose she makes an icky face as she asks, "What that?"

"Wet sand!" Wilk says proudly.

"I think I could be persuaded."

"I might need something a little more appropriate for swimming. It's also still a little bright out for my tastes," Yulia says. "Do you have a tailor around here?"

Not understanding why he seems so excited about wet dirt she reaches out and tries to touch it again. It felt really strange in her fingers, not quite solid, but not really liquid either. Not sure what to do with it she draws her hand back and wipes it off on her top.

Looking at Wilk she seems a little confused as she shrugs her shoulders slightly, "Help?" She seems to be having trouble expressing that she doesn't know what to do with the sand.

Excusing herself from the others she goes over to where the children are playing, "Hey Wilk and Nerah, do you want to show Celine how you play in the sand? She's never seen wet sand before....or any sand really, so she doesn't know how to play in it." Turning to Celine she says, "Watch Wilk and Nerah Celine, they'll show you how to play with it."

She then goes back to finish the rest of her meat before it gets cold.

Wilk shows Celine how to mold the sand and build a little fort with it. Nerah adds some sticks to a lump, making a watchtower, and starts to cry.

Celine wraps her arms around Nerah and looks over at the adults, "Mommy, help."

Having finished the last couple of bites of her meat she puts her plate down as she looks at Marie before going over to where the children sit in the sand. Looking at Celine with her arms around a crying Nerah her heart melts just a little bit. Knowing it was probably about Malwen she gets down on her knees next to the children and puts an arm around Nerah, "What's wrong sweetie?"

"I...I miss my home," Nerah sobs.

Drago paled slightly, "As a matter of fact, there is. However, in the interest of full disclosure, that shop belongs to my former lover's family. So, it may get a little awkward."

She didn't know what to say so she just hugged Nerah and patted her on the back.

Yulia shrugs. "Is your former lover a b!+$$?"

Nerah sniffles for a little bit before going back to playing with the sand.

She gives Nerah a hug and rubs her back comfortingly, "I know you do honey, and that's okay. It's okay to feel sad about missing your home. We'll try to get you all moved into a home of your own soon. Maybe even one with your own room? It'll be alright." She says soothingly before she stands back up and takes a few steps away.

She pulls back from Nerah a little bit as she loosens her hug and puts one of her small hands on Nerahs face as she wipes away a tear, "It's okay Nerah, don't be sad. We here now, it's okay." Leaning forward she gives her another little hug before giving her a kiss on the cheek and smiles at her.

Even though she doesn't really like the feel of the wet sand, she reaches in it and tries to play with it anyways thinking that her funny faces would maybe make Nerah laugh at least a little bit.

Arista just watches at the scene unfolds, her mouth dropping open as Celine says more than she has so far and so clearly at that. She just sort of covers her mouth in surprise as Celine comforts Nerah and then gives her a hug and kiss on the cheek.

She wondered if she reacted that way because of how the other children treated her and if she really realized that Nerah needed comforting? Celenon was right, children certainly could surprise you. Feeling that Nerah is in good hands she walks back over to the other adults and sits back down.

Still in a state of shock she doesn't even know what to say.
