I've Travelled Far|Beastlands

Alu smiled and stepped into the water. She waded around in it, the liquid bringing her comfort and happiness. "Tell me about this Nalani of yours. Is she a seer like you? What is her element? For that matter... what is yours?"

"I'm a Mind," Ryder said. "I was originally born a Wind, thus the wings on my back, but I was injured and lost the sign. I got my Mind signs from my lord Thuoth. Nalani is a Wind and she is a priestess in Anarlina."

"Your wings are very pretty," Alu crooned. "I know we have at least one other feyling with wings like yours. Many faeries have wings though usually more like your sprite's--butterfly wings, dragonfly wings, flies and bees... Some with feathers though."

She shook her head, distracted. "I hope you'll stay a while and let me teach you all the wondrous things I have to teach at least."

"Traveling is a little easier as a Mind," Ryder said. "I'll take a few days to get here, but I could visit once every two weeks without many problems."

[Kender Bard]

"I'm not sure if that would be wise," Alu murmured, twisting her hair in her slim fingers. "We faeries are not ready to have men find our sanctuary. Too much coming and going, even as a Mind, could lead men to us. Can you not stay for just a while? A week or two?"

Ryder chewed his lip while he thought about it. Nalani wasn't expecting him back so soon and he could always explain to her why it would take him a week. "Well, all right, I can stay for a week before I head back to Anarlina."
