The lady who led Crystallin up to her room was very apologetic, but she did carry some of Crystallin’s things in recompense.

“I’m afraid you’ll have to share a bathroom with Nere Noreth. But don’t worry, he gets up very early. It’s between your rooms, so make sure you lock both doors, though. But if you have any questions, you’re better off asking Naqa Aayikan opposite,” The lady paused, trying to find the right words as she put the bags down and unlocked Crystallin’s new room before apparently deciding not to explain and letting Crystallin find out for herself, “And please, no staring at Nere Noreth. Anyway-” She smiled brightly, picking up the bags and using them to nudge the door open.

The room was very small. It looked like it had been some sort of walk-in wardrobe from the bigger room next door which had been converted. The bed was a single one, shoved up against the wall with the small window, and the wardrobe was in the corner. Along the side was the small desk and the door to the bathroom was behind that. As if to pacify Crystallin, the lady opened said door to show her inside. It was large and spacious- almost the size of the bedroom, with a large walk-in shower that had a chair in it.

Unfortunately, all the cupboards were full.

The lady smiled nervously and mumbled something about Crystallin having to sort that out with Nere Noreth.

“Dinner is at seven; until then feel free to wander around and get your bearings,”

Reunion

Somehow Vali was walking in circles. Just over a month ago he’d left this town, but now he’d ended up here again after some adventures and hitching rides. Last time he was walking these streets, he’d been in a bad place, but probably still rosier and less of a wreck. Being young and pretty really got you far, but he’d run out of money a while ago and had been sleeping rough too many times. He could hardly remember why he’d even gone onto this endeavour to start with. It had gotten out of control quite some time ago.

His feet hurt and he sat down on a damp bench. Vali remembered the sweet lady he’d met here in this part of the city and considered going back to her. This time he had his wallet and papers with him, that was a positive change. But he felt so much worse and unproportionally older.

With a sigh, he took his backpack off and sat crossed legged, hugging it and rested his head on top. He clumsily got his cracked phone out of his backpocket and stared at it. Nine percent of battery life left. With the device as wonky and it was that wouldn’t be enough to dial a number and establish a connection, so he couldn’t ask her... Vali grunted and stashed it away. With a groan he got to his feet again and let his feet drag him to Crystallin’s neighbourhood. He still felt like turning around and not bothering her, but he was desperate and quite honestly, he missed her. As he looked at her front door, fighting with himself, he suddenly heard the rolling of thunder and rang her bell.

@the-self-exiled liked this for a starter from Draco

Draco sat on his boat, reading a book when he heard the door open, his eyes lifting from the page once he’d finished the page. “Well hello my fairy.”

“Crystallin, I’m a werewolf again’ Jess whined, flopping down onto her bed and she buried her face into the pillow. This had happened once before but Jess had spent the entire time away from Camp-for obvious reasons- but with her helping out with the younger kids, she couldn’t this time. “I hate grey faces”

   Ziencora laughed looking over at  Khari’ahl smiling brightly at her. She nodded before looking to Crystallin and started walking inside. “You didn’t need to delay it for me little one, we warriors can sometimes be delayed here and there depending on what happens outside the walls,” She chuckled keeping her on her hip as she walked. “You are getting too big for this,” She teased.

“Crystallin! How the hell is my favorite fairy?” He meant it. Well... he didn’t know many fae but deep inside he knew that Crystallin would be his favorite, no matter what. She was always a joy to see and would ease his mood without a doubt.

           "Good morning Dr. Hopper!" Crystallin called cheerfully, waving her free hand as the other hand cradled a cardboard box.             

Archie made sure to keep Pongo close to his side as the dog urged him to cross the street to visit with people who clearly wanted to visit with him. Archie relented, crossing and smiled warmly at Crystallin.

“Good morning. What do you have there?”

Rhado Dorrn took a moment to relax, sitting on the edge of a bed. It had been a busy morning. Now that things were settled, there were more children about, and that meant more little brats breaking their limbs at the very worst, and bruising them at the very least. One had tried to climb up Aradir’s balcony from the gardens on a dare- of course, the boy had fallen. A worse fate, Rhadho Dorrn had told him, than had he succeeded. The winged elf knew that their liege lord did not appreciate people being scared of him, but sometimes it came in rather useful.

In any case, the child was asleep in a bed nearby. He would not be doing any more climbing for a while, although Rhadho Dorrn had told his parents that this was not an excuse for him to goof off and ignore his education. Of course, the girl who had dared him in the first place was also being punished; she was in the next room, cutting up linens for bandages. Rhadho Dorrn had told her that if she cut her fingers off he wouldn’t be putting them back together, hence why she was taking a long time. One of Crystallin’s people, a Hound, was also there with her, making sure that she actually did the work. Again, she would not be getting out of lessons either; Rhadho Dorrn expected her every evening after they were done. Even from this distance away, he could hear her sniffing; the windows were open, and her peers were playing in the gardens below.
