Comments:
Gungadin, after arriving back at Gaultheria, sends Malcontent to the stables, then finds Nein in the gardens on his way to the castle. "HEY, NEIN! HOW'S IT GOIN'?" he shouts from afar, thereby inadvertantly disrupting any serenity that the cas
le had to offer...

| Name: Nein |
Comments:
Nein is in the Garden of Serenity. She lies under a tree, concealed in the tall grass, and looks up at the clouds. She begins to drift into a peaceful sleep. The breeze blows softly, the birds cirp, and in the distance, the roar of the waterfall can be
heard. All is still. To a passerby, it would seem as though nobody else were there.

| State: peace |
Comments:
Kenshiro continues to sit, meditating quietly next to the Lady's bed. Her breathing is deep and even, and her color has returned to normal. Were it not for the bandages about her chest and shoulder, one would think she was merely in a deep and restfu
sleep. The only motion in the room is the gentle breathing of its two occupants, and the occaisional slow and deliberate motion of Kenshiro's arm as he slowly drinks his tea. The room seems to be enveloped in a state of utter peace and calm - the air s
ells strongly but pleasantly of herbs and tea, the sounds coming in through the window seem distant and quiet, the breezes from outside not even brisk enough to stir the Lady's fine golden hair. The quiet seems almost a tangible thing, radiating from the
small man sitting crosslegged on the floor.

He and Lisa arrive at the gates of Gaultheria...he helps her dismount, and then takes the horse back to the stables, hoping no one noticed its absence...he returns to the Great Hall and catches up with Lisa...Where would your aunt be?

A small squad is now running around the mountains of Morrowind in the Nameless One's vicinity, trying to figure out exactly where he is and what he's doing....no luck so far...

Comments:
The Nameless One moves quickly and quietly. Anyone who saw him pass now only remembers him as a faint shadow in their minds. Nothing special. Nothing important. No need to look twice. He passes through the land of Gaultheria, never stopping to rest.
He soon reaches the rugged mountains of Morrowind. They are nigh impassible and quite unforgiving, but somehow he makes his way into their heart. There, in the side of an otherwise unimportant mountain, he reaches his destination. A ruin... An old, fo
gotten temple built into the side of the mountain. Many of the support columns have long ago fallen, and much of the ceiling has caved in. At the far back can be seen an altar, seemingly the only thing still standing after all of these years. Brighter
han normal sunlight shines down upon it from a skylight. The Nameless One makes his way through the rubble, occasionally looking to the sides at the ruined inscriptions on the walls. "It has been so long..." he mutters to himself while navigating throug
the final pile of dirt and rock. He pulls his sword from his back, keeping it sheathed. He holds it in front of him, and drops to one knee. All is utterly silent, but the Nameless One hears music going through his head. (You may have to crank up the
olume to hear this MIDI.)

"All right, sir. I'll leave them be." Nein makes her way out of the room. As she leaves, she says, "My prayers are with you, Lady Poca". She decides to go down to the garden- some time among the flowers would be nice, after all. She passes Gabriel on
her way there. He is laughing loudly with a guard about something. She slips into the garden, and is amazed by the wonderful scents and colors. Nein makes a valiant attempt to get lost in the tranquil world.

Comments:
Gungadin chuckles to himself as he watches Johan and Miss Lisa ride off. "Dear me..." he sighs. Gungadin shakes his head a bit, then whistles for his steed, Malcontent. The horse langorously meanders its way over to Gungadin, who quickly moun
s and takes off toward Gaultheria.

Comments:
Jerry calls after Lucien,
"Hey, Lucien, take it easy! Gabriel's just kidding around..." Lucien disappears down the hallway"Man, grow a sense of humor - "
Jerry turns to Gabriel, his new, found friend.
"So - where would you like to go today?"
"Well -," says Gabriel,"I'd like to know who's 'guiding' the garden in your absence."
"Oh - I always have somebody standby. Larry's probably there now, though it could be Barry or Harry..."
"Alright. Just curious... And another thing - what's up with Lucien?"
As Gabriel says that, Lucien reappears with two pitchers of water.
"Hey, Lucien!"says Jerry,"Gabriel's an ok, guy, right? Right?" Lucien mutely passes by."Oh,"says Jerry,"you mean that - well, he's just very protective, I guess. Kinda like me and my flowers."
"Ok - well, let's go see if the party has arrived yet."
The two head towards the Great Hall...

Comments:
Lucien shakes his head a little at Kenshiro, and even chuckles a bit... "Interesting fellow..." he mutters under his breath. When Nein enters the room, he hurries to block her from approaching the bed. "I'm sorry, milady, but Lady Poca ne
ds rest and peace right now. It would be best if you left the room and allow the monk a chance to rest as well."

| Name: Nein |
Comments:
Nein spends a while in the armory and in other rooms, examining tapestries while she waits, anxiously, for the rescue party to return. Finally, she hears a great deal of commotion and faint calls from the other side of the castle. She tries to remember
ow to get back to the Great Hall, and spends a long time walking. Suddenly, a faint smell tinges the air. "Tea", she remarks with some wonder. She follows the scent into a room, and in the room she sees a monk tending to Lady Poca. "Um, hello. Is the
e anything I can do to help? By the way, I didn't catch your name." There was something oddly familiar about his quiet, graceful manner.

Comments:
As Lucien returns to Lady Poca's room, he is surprised to see some color already returning to her face, and the fresh bandages across her chest and shoulder, which smell pungently of herbs, show no trace of blood at all. Kenshiro nods politely to Luci
n and immediately picks up the pitcher of cold water, from which he takes a long, deep drink. "Ah. Thank you. That is much better. The lady appears to be doing well, but she should rest now, for many hours. I shall stay here, to insure she is not
disturbed. I would appreciate for you to, ah, discourage the others from visiting just yet." He bows politely to Lucien, takes another drink of cold water, and begins to mix herbs into the hot water. It smells rather like - in fact it smells
exactly like - tea.

She smiles brightly at Johan, and wraps her arms about his waist... to make sure she doesn't fall, of course.

Reaches down and pulls Lisa up behind him on the horse...Glad to be of assistance. And as for Gungadin's comments...stage whisper...I think he's jealous... Big grin...

Comments:
He approaches Gabriel. "Listen to me, bard. You had best watch your actions around here. I don't take kindly to people insulting my guards, the castle, my lady, or any of her guests. If you have a problem with Gaultheria, the door is open and y
u're welcome to leave whenever you choose. There is plenty here to keep you occupied if you're bored, and you are quite welcome here, but do not abuse your priviledges." He walks off, and soon passes by with two pitchers of water. He takes them to t
e lady's room, and places them near Kenshiro.

Comments:
Looks at Gungadin oddly. It was yesterday, as a matter of fact, that they met. He rides his warhorse over to Arina, lightly dismounts, sets her in the saddle, then mounts the horse again with the still asleep Arina behind him...he wraps her ar
s around him and ties the wrists together so she doesn't fall off...Are you coming back to Gaultheria, or should I leave without you?
01/06/98 14:50:19
| Name: Johan |
Comments:
Glares at Gungadin, convinced that he caused Lisa's getaway...I'll deal with YOU later. He jumps atop his horse and gallops off after Miss Lisa...he catches up after a few minutes, and slows his horse down to match her pace...Care for a rid
back, m'lady?

| Name: Miss Lisa |
Comments:
Upon hearing Gungadin's response, she blushes bright red and drops her head. "Please, forgive me. I should return to Gaultheria now, Aunt Poca may need me..." She looks apologeticallly at Johan, then runs back into the woods, in the direction
of Gaultheria. Passing a few guards as she goes.

Gungadin quickly helps himself to the food, then listens to Miss Lisa plead before Johan. Gungadin nearly chokes. "Dear me, child, but who taught you to be so... direct? You only met him --what, three days ago?" He then looks a Johan with a
ide grin. "You must be a great dance partner to be able to do something like that..!"

| Name: Miss Lisa |
Comments:
Hoping to make amends somewhat, she comes up with an idea. "I have something that should make all of you feel better." She reaches into her satchel and brings out a blanket to lay on the ground. She spreads it out, then, on top of it, she set
handfuls of fresh fruit, bread, and cheeses. "It's not as good as the normal breakfast fare at Gaultheria, but I can assure you that it tastes good when you're hungry." After laying it out, she goes after Johan. Upon seeing him, she lays a hand
on his shoulder, and looks up at him with pleading eyes. "Please, don't give up on me now... Last night... When we were dancing... You made me forget everything but you. I'm willing to take a chance that I might end up hurt, because I want those
eelings we had last night... I really like you Johan, and I don't want Christoph to drive all happiness from my life. Please, help me forget him..."

Gungadin looks around himself, slightly confused, slightly worried, but altogether a tad bit exhausted. He hesitates for a second, then begins to speak. "Uh... I don't mean to interfere here, but don't you all think that we should probably return
to the castle? I don't know about you, but I missed my morning meal, and can beome quite disturbed if I go without food for too long..." he says, kicking Arina lightly in the ribs. "Although not nearly as bad as some people here..." He then
emembers that Arina just spent the last few hours as a large hairy animal, which must be rather nerve-racking to some extent. Gungadin backs away, waving nervously, and remembering how his father always used to tell him to never pick on someone with teet
larger than his head...

Listens to Lisa's story, and Arina's ranting, and nods...You don't need to blame yourself. It's the sort of thing that can't be helped, no matter who's fault it is. Besides, like I said, your Aunt's going to be fine. Her wounds didn't look too b
d to a practiced eye. I've recovered from about that same combination myself...He trails off, unsure of what to say to make her feel better, only knowing he doesn't want to hurt this poor girl any more than she has been...

Irate, in addition to tired...Why didn't you listen to me the first time? Khast ilh dargoth's kh'le...I TOLD you that Johan is one of my friends, and for the record, Johan and I were discussing our respective chances with you and what's-his-name.
However, at this point, I'm far too tired to care, as Johan can probably attest--he's seen me try to converse before I'm fully recovered from a shapeshift...Now, I'm going back to sleep. Goes back into her trance-like state, grumbling and growling to
erself...
Comments:
He nods at Kenshiro. "I don't know why, sir, but I think I can trust you... But if you hurt her more..." Leaving his threat incomplete, he leaves the room to get the water Kenshiro requested.

Comments:
Sir Lucien is slightly startled by a quiet voice behind hi. "I apologize for the delay, but it was necessary for me to gather some things to attend the Lady's wounds." The small monk places a cloth on the bed next to lady Poca's still form and
unrolls it to reveal several small packages of herbs, vials of powder and liquid, and a few whole stems and flowers. He calmly and efficiently begins to remove the dressings and examine the Lady's wound. He glances at Lucian only once. "It would be
helpful if you bring two bowls of water. One cold, one hot." He smiles slightly in a very reassuring way. "I believe she will be all right." He then returns to his task.
