Somewhere Safe (Minty)

[Kender Bard]

"Corbin," he introduced himself. "And you're one of my lady's chosen. And... Guest?" he added with a sideways glance at Minty. She smiled and nodded. "That's fine. We've room enough for all the chosen and anyone else they could wish to bring in. So! Where would you like your quarters? In the great trees or in a house on the ground, all proper-like?"

[Skittlebug]

Ivan can't help but feel a touch overwhelmed, one of Efil's angels, and here they are talking like it's nothing. "It's a pleasure to meet you." He grins to Minty, "The trees remind me a bit of home, only...well enormous."

[Kender Bard]

Minty smiled as well. "Not me. I've never seen anything like this before!"

Corbin smoothed his feathers down with a hand idly. "Well they have to be enormous, they're housing."

"Really?" Minty asked, eyes wide.

"Oh yes!" Corbin exclaimed. "The biggest trees? There's one for each Force and they go up and up and up so people can all fit in there. But we have ground housing for those afraid of heights or who cannot climb so many stairs."

Minty scoffed. "Long staircases are no obstacle to a Rondian."

[Skittlebug]

"They certainly aren't." Ivan chuckles, then looks back to Corbin, "Are there many others here?"

[Kender Bard]

"we're getting some more people now," Corbin replied. "Mostly women and children. Lots of children. Two sizeable families have moved in."

"Oh, kids"! Minty chirped. She liked kids.

[Skittlebug]

Ivan grins, "Would you like to meet the others before finding a place to stay?"

[Kender Bard]

"I would," Minty agreed cheerfully. "If you don't mind. It'll help me feel less isolated."

"Most of the people who are here now live in the Force trees," the angel said, gesturing. "If you wander around there, you're bound to meet someone."

[Skittlebug]

"Thank you." Ivan smiles and bows politely to the angel before beginning in that direction, waving for Minty to join him. "Let's see who the others are."

[Kender Bard]

Mint nodded at Ivan and walked beside him, her step quickening when she noticed a middle-aged man, short with a blonde ponytail and rather... garish clothing. He glanced up at their approach and smiled, waving.

"Hello!" Minty called out.

"Hi!" Talon called back, his smile stretching into a grin. "You must be new here!"

[Northen Light36]

A tiny girl, looking like she's about six or maybe a very small seven, is skipping alongside Talon. When her uncle calls out a greeting, Lillian looks up and waves as well. "Hi!" she calls, stopping her skipping and trying to tidy her long, red hair into something neater then it's current messy ponytail.

[Skittlebug]

Ivan does a decent job of not making a face at Talon's clothing, and smiles in greeting at the pair. "We've just arrived, yes. I'm Ivan, and this is my friend Minty."

[Kender Bard]

Minty put her hands on her knees and cooed over Lillian. "Aren't you just the cutest thing?"

Talon made his way over and offered his hand to Ivan. "Well the angels would have welcomed you first, but let me be the second! Welcome to the Sanctuary. I'm Talon and this is my niece, Lillian."

[Northen Light36]

Lillian smiled and ran over to Minty. "Everyone calls Lilly. I'm only Lillian when I'm in trouble," she replied politely. "It's nice to meet you." She giggled then looked up at Minty and asked, "Can you braid hair? Uncle Talon can't and my Muma and Daddy are away." She ran her fingers through her ponytail and pulled a face when her fingers caught on a knot.

[Skittlebug]

Ivan takes Talon's hand with a smile. "It's incredible here. The angel we met mentioned there were families here, is one of them yours?"

[Kender Bard]

Talon shook with a grin before offering it to Minty, who giggled and shook as well. "Yes, I brought my three children with me. The rest of this brood belongs to my brother and sister's families. I think we're the largest family to settle in here."

"I can braid!" Minty told Lillian with a growing smile. "I haven't done it since I was a little thing though, so they might be as pretty and cute as you are."
