<p><b>"Beautiful. Maybe one of you should paint this,"</b> Angus says as he pulls Left Cheek and Right Cheek to a stop for a moment as he waited for the road below to clear a little.</p>
<p><b><span class=tiny>"Sure,"</span></b> Fling says after a moment. For once, the triplets are stunned silent.</p>

<p>An indignant <b>"Hey!"</b> and the muttering of a few arcane words were all the warning the two of them got before their hair started to change color.</p>
<p><b>"Ah well, so much for the peace and quiet,"</b> Angus mutters to himself as the argument returns to full burn again with flashes of magic now as the magic pranks started. At least his hair wasn't pink this time.</p>
<p><b>"Quiet's overrated anyway, right ya Cheeks?"</b></p>
<p>The donkeys only give a glance back before snorting. The tail of the one on the left flutters for a moment before a noxious smell wafts over the cart and ends the argument in a chorus of complaints.</p>
<p><b>"Gah! That's it! No more cheap beer for you, Left Cheek!"</b> Angus cried as he waved his hat in a vain effort to clear the air.

Most dwarfs would probably have simply braced themselves against the steady flow of people, forcing the river of people to pass by them.
<br />
Uleg, however, danced. Not really, of course, there was no music, and the street had it's own rhythm, but his feet seemed to barely touch the ground as he weaved between the people.</p>
<p>Yet, his eyes were not really on the other visitors swarming around him. He did not notice the multitude of races, from elves to irfits, from gnomes to orcs. Neither did he pay any attention to the stalls making the narrow street even narrower or the numerous ale houses and inns that probably had the best day in years.</p>
<p>Cursing his short, dwarfish heritage, even if he was relatively tall for one of the mountain people, Uleg kept searching for any sign of Sworos. Even if there had been no sign so far, a top act like that would surely be placed on a stage in the town center, so that was where he was headed.</p>
<p>Contrary to the streets, the little square in the town's center was easily navigatable - probably because there was no show going on, right now.</p>
<p>Grabbing on of the humans in brightly colored clothes, that seemed to belong to the carnival, Uleg finally decided to get some answers.</p>
<p><b>"You there, boy."</b>, for surely the human could be no more than 25, maybe 30 years old, <b>"when is Sworos the Swift coming on."</b> Uleg politely (for a dwarf, at least).</p>For such a small town, Ilsurian is packed with people.

He sits cross-legged next to her, ruffling absently her ginger hair -so unlike Hirschen's, though she inherited his chocolate skin. Sometimes it amazes him, how quickly humans can change, how different two generations can be, and yet how tiny glimpses of the past can stick to them, like a muffled echo of what used to be.</p>
<p><b>"It's been almost ten years since I last saw him,"</b> he admits, picking up a tiny toy house (was it Paprika or Princess?).<b>"I'm surprised to hear that he's still on the road."</b></p>
<p>As he engages in a race with Ruby, he muses over what pushed Hirschen to return to his mercenary ways after raising Laura. He had never been able to stay at one place for more than a few months, but Selkyon had believed him to be officially retired. Was he too much of a globe-trotter? Did he need the money? Or did he flee, Selkyon wonders, slowing his horse down ever so slightly to let Ruby win. There are times when he can hardly believe that two generations could have been born without him getting a wrinkle. That deep sense of loneliness -he knows it all too well.</p>
<p>Hirschen had always been the optimistic type, much more at ease with human relationships than Selkyon, but did he come to feel it, too? The ranger surely hopes not.</p>
<p>Thankfully, Laura distracts him from his dark thoughts by handing him a piece of paper. An invitation to a Carnival, no less. He thinks of an afternoon watching Ruby play, spoling her with candy, winning her a teddy bear to take back home. </p>
<p>He thinks of the crowd, the side glances he gets when most humans notice his scarred face and knife-cut hair, the way his heart usually sinks and urges him to leave, <i>now</i>.</p>
<p>He desperately wants to go.</p>
<p>He is afraid to go.</p>
<p><b>"Are you sure it's no bother for Clence?"</b> he finally asks, his eyes roaming over the colourful flyer as if it was withholding information from him.</p>
<p>He somehow doubted that inviting him had been Clence's idea.</p>"It's fine, Laura, really," Selkyon smiles back, letting Ruby uselessly tug his hand for a while, before complying with her game.
