2007-02-08 [Synsae]: Kael comes out of the Glen and picks up his swords and bow as he heads further to the Great Hall.

2007-02-08 [Darian Hawke]: *walks silently along side Kael. Leaving the gardens for Vangaard's Great Hall*

2007-02-09 [Lady of Lore]: The Lady Ellayne had listened to the two men's conversation from her place she had been in the garden. She'd come and gone from the main areas of the castle, said a few greetings to new comers; but something in the gardens felt more like home than anywhere inside. She was content there, for now and she liked to see the children come and go. She sat upon the ground, her sword beside her unbuckled but still in it's sheath.

2007-02-18 [Chrysilla]: Sofia enters the gardens and sits on a bench, under a tree in bloom. She closes her eyes and enjoys the sweet warmth and the delicate perfume that fills the air.

2007-02-18 [Synsae]: Kael walks into the Gardens behind Lady Sofia, he notices some fish up in the pond, so he takes out a loaf of bread that he had on him, and broke off 5 small peices to fling into the pond for the fish to eat. With each fling and each landing of crumbs on the water, the fish jumps to surface swallowing what they could. Kael just smiled and laughed at this sight.

2007-02-18 [Chrysilla]: At the noise of the fishes jumping off the water, Sofia opens her eyes. She comes towards Kael and sits down on the pond's border, playing with the fingers in the water. Probably thinking it was food, the fishes approache and swim in circles around her hand. She laughs and takes a little piece of bread from Kael and watches if the fishes would come and eat from her hand.

2007-02-18 [Synsae]: Kael smiled and kept flinging peices of bread into the water, one fish even did so much as leaped out of water to catch his bit of food which made Kael laugh at loud, "I will tell you, the fish in this pond are definately something else."

2007-02-18 [Chrysilla]: "Maybe they are the nayads' dogs", Sofia laughed, thinking of her own dog back in Askiliad, an enormous ball of fur, that, despite his bear appearance, used to jump around and run after sticks like a puppy.

2007-02-18 [Synsae]: Kael smiled, "Or perhaps they are monkeys that look like fish" Kael laughed a little because he knew that was not all that funny, but he did not have a good comment to use after Lady Sofia's last line.

2007-02-18 [Chrysilla]: Sofia laughed.
"I see, my dear Kael, that you men have a weird sense of humour sometimes."

2007-02-18 [Synsae]: Kael laughed, "Yeah, that we do, but better a weird sense of humor... than none at all, am I right?"

2007-02-18 [Chrysilla]: She laughed again.
"Yes that's right... sometimes."

2007-02-18 [Synsae]: Kael smiled some more and Vera flew off his shoulder and perched near Lady Sofia but not between Kael and her.

"I think she likes you" he said as Vera let off a loud but soft screach, "That or she thinks you have food" he laughed some more

2007-02-18 [Chrysilla]: She smiled and caressed the bird's feathers with the fingertips.
"What would she like to eat?"

2007-02-18 [Synsae]: Kael smiled, "She likes mice and other rodents that might come across her path."

2007-02-18 [Chrysilla]: "Well I don't have any rodents in my pockets, so would she like some cooked meat? If yes, you could join me to the great hall."

2007-02-18 [Synsae]: "The meat does not have to be cooked, she'll eat it" Kael continued to smile while he answered back

2007-02-19 [Lady of Lore]: Lady Ellayne smiled over at the two and got up and moved towards them. "Good day to you both. Do you mind if I sit beside the water with you?"

2007-02-19 [Darian Hawke]:
*Enters the gardens and sees the small group by the pond. A smile crosses his face and he walks towards them.*
Greetings my friends. Lady Ellayne you're looking most beautiful today. How are you?
I have ben so caught up in castle business that I do believe I've seen you in days.
*Bows lightly to the group of three*

2007-02-19 [Synsae]: Kael smiled, "Feel free to do so, it is ok with me if you do, and do not worry, if you are, Vera does not bite" Kael leaned over to pet Vera on the back of her head.

2007-02-19 [Lady of Lore]: Ellayne straightens up and smiles at Darian. "Well hello there my Lord Darian. I am well, the gradens have greatly rejuvinated my spirit. I see that things have been quite busy around here. The fame of Vangaard has spread through the realm quickly."
