*Kale, not seen in months, comes out of the bushes behind the Inn and strides into the open door. He hops onto the bench, croutching on his feet, with a dagger out...fondling it. In a strange accent he begins to speak*

I do hope everyone has enjoyed themselvesss lately. I am sorry that I took away so quickly, however I had no sssleeping area other than the open Inn, which I did not trussst with all the barkeepss being killed lately. I did not wish to be the only one ssleeping alone in here..and the elvesss, were...less than accommodating.

Have thingsss improved? Did thossse who were told they were to die at the stroke of midnight, die, or are they yet in good health?

*A young woman looks at him with curoisity*

And who might you be makin' all sort of appologies for being away for so long?

*The valkin-vi, his face painted with a moon and a star turns to Azara*

We met a few months ago precious.

*Azara grins*

My appologies. I have been doing some scoutin' as of late. There have been so many new faces as of late, it is a bit diffcult to keep track of everyone.

If I've offended ya, please forgive me.

*She pauses*

So how have ya been?

*Kaletheri shivers*

Cold. It's been freezing out lately.

*Azara raises her eyebrow and appears a little taken confused by the statement.*

Cold? How can ya be freezin'? Finally more comfortable weather is approachin' us.

Maybe ya need a thicker cloak?

*Kalethri appears confused for a moment, then begins to speak*

Dosh dinar fulimata gorinde falimar kos setimatra.

*A strange Valkin'Vi youth enters, elaborate swirls of blue accenting pale features.*

"What...language is that? Ah, forgive me. I am Eilonwy Nightshade of the Campbell clan. I do not believe we have met..."

*nods to Azara.*

*Kale turns to look at the newcomer and appears startled...no...startled isn't the word for it, more like shocked. His mouth gapes and his eyes widen*

Yo...y...I..ahh..but..thought..you...wha...?

*He almost appears frightened*

You..your name was...what?

*Azara appears shocked at Kale's reaction to Eilonwy and cautiously watches on.*

*frowns, perplexed at his reaction, slowly tilting head in a graceful, alien gesture.*

"Ahhh...I believe thee mistake me for the one I was named for. Eilonwy was a great healer in the Kingdom known as Silverthorne. I am far too young to know the times in which she lived. And as you can see, I am no Elf, but Valkin 'Vi like thyself. Or perhaps...do thee mistake me for my mother?"

*silent a moment, then smiles impishly.*

"Come now. Let me give thee a drink. Thee look as though thee could use it, my kin-brother. May I ask thy name?"

*leans casually on a staff carved with dwarven runes, looking perhaps too young for said drink*

My..my name is Kaletheri. And your mother is....

Why, some called her Raven of Night's Shade. Forgive me but, have I disturbed thee somehow? Did thee know Eilonwy or my mother?

*voice is soft, low, and curious.*

*Kaletheri's eyes go wide*

No. Wait. Perhaps. I don't know. Do they still be alive? I am still but in my 20's, but you look familiar none the less.

*He exits the Inn*

*The young Valkin'Vi looks startled, watches Kaletheri leave, then cautiously follows...*
