Family Trip|Rivenway, Ronduin

[Devon]

Late in the night a small hand pushed open the door to Pandora and Darin's bedroom. Sawyer made his way into their room, standing in front of their bed. "Mommy, Daddy, my head really hurts," he whined.

Darin stirred slightly, but didn't completely hear Sawyer's call. Sawyer furrowed his brow and mentally he reached out and gave his parents a shove. ~Mommy, Daddy!~

[Kender Bard]

Pandora flinched a bit and sat up, rubbing her eyes. "What... Sawyer, what's wrong?" she asked, giving a great yawn.

[Devon]

Sawyer climbed into bed with his parents, crawling in between them until he sat in the middle of them. Darin rubbed his head and looked to his son, making some room for him and sharing some of the cover. He half expected Seth to poke his head into the room as well.

Sawyer leaned his head against his mother's shoulder and pouted. "My head really hurts Mommy," he answered.

[Kender Bard]

Pandora slipped an arm around Sawyer and stroked the boy's head gently. "For how long?" she asked. "Darin, fetch the lavender would you?"

[Devon]

Darin nodded and got out of bed to go and get some lavender for his wife.

Sawyer snuggled against his mother and replied, "For some days Mommy. Right now I feel sleepy and worried, that's not inside feeling that's outside." Sawyer tried to explain it the best he could to Pandora as Darin returned with the lavender and handed it over to his wife.

[Kender Bard]

Pandora chewed her lip a little as she considered this. She took the lavender and administered some to Sawyer. "I think we need to go get Sawyer training for his Mind sign now," she told Darin. "It wasn't long ago that the boys began to be able to talk to Ven. Seth should be coming into his Fire powers soon, so it makes sense that Sawyer would come into his Mind powers as well."

[Devon]

"Between Sawyer being a Mind and Seth having a Fire sign," Darin murmured as he stroked his son's head. "Now I'm no seer, but I foresee us replacing a lot of broken or burned items. I agree with you though, how about we head out tomorrow?"

Sawyer's own feelings of being comforted by his parents seemed to calm the child down some as well as the sleepiness he felt from the two of them.

[Kender Bard]

"Head where?" Pandora asked. "I'm not aware of any Minds living in Ronduin. Or if there is, I don't know who they are. Are you suggesting we go to Sensatia or Ilyamen?"

[Devon]

"Sensatia," Darin answered quietly. "What better place to take our son than there? He can get the help he needs and we can have ourselves a little family vacation. We still haven't taken the boys anywhere and they are old enough now."

[Kender Bard]

"All right," Pandora agreed. Though she was concerned how long they would be gone, and how best to stretch their money... but they could worry about that later. She leaned over and kissed Darin softly. "Though it's winter. The trip will be long and hard."

[Devon]

"I'll help keep us warm," he said with smile as he pointed to his Fire sign. "Besides I could double it as a reason to keep Seth a thing or two before he comes to us in the middle of the night saying he burned a house down."

[Kender Bard]

Pandora grimaced at the thought. "Aye, you'd better hurry on with his training," she muttered and settled back down on the pillow. "If you think we can make the trip, then very well. We'll start planning tomorrow."

[Devon]

"Don't worry when I'm done with Seth he'll be a well trained boy," Darin replied. Leaning over the sleeping Sawyer, Darin kissed Pandora on the cheek. "Right, let's try and sleep the rest of the night uninterrupted and plan tomorrow."
