"Aye, that much I have gathered from our mutual meditation.  I am still upset."He looked over his shoulder at his neice building a fire and preparing the evening meal.  Several weeks had they been travelling and a few more lay ahead of them.  Estefan turned away from the fire and drank in his surroundings.  It was always so wonderful to be embraced in the goddess' heart and arms.  He breathed deeply in and out smelling her sweet scent surround him and penetrate him.  Yes, she was strongest when she was most wild and this, in turn, lent him strength of heart and body.After a few more moments he turned and went to help Adaria with the preperations.  He looked at her in the firelight and was reminded just how much she resembled his deceased wife.  A small tear came to his eye as he sat down and grabbed a knife to help skin the coneyes they had caught for dinner.  Thank the goddess that Oonru arrived behind him at that moment, so that she would not see the tear as he wiped it away.The great bear had a sizable fish in it's maw and was munching contentedly as he strode up to the fire.  Estefan had no doubt that the fish was not the first to be eaten by him, but the bear never gorged himself on food unless he had to for hibernation. "Smells wonderful," he said softly as he turned back towards the fire.  The druid said a quick and silent thank you to both the goddess and the coney spirit for the food they would receive tonight.  (Leaving room here for a response from my cohort <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ).Hatha lounged by Adaria and yawned her great mouth towards the sky.  Her beautiful orange and black feline form was nearly twice the size of his niece and happily purred at the elf's feet completely comfortable.  The last member of the small group appeared quickly after all had gathered around the fire to enjoy each other's company at the end of the day.  Niura, the eagle, perched in a branch above the scene and tore at the mouse in her claw uncerimoniously.  It was only this time of day in which all were gathered together, unless some great need befell one of them.  In such a case, the others would not hesitate to drop what they were doing do run and aid.  Even Ardania was becoming quite accustomed to talking with the animals.Still, for all this love and companionship that surrounded the druid, he was uneasy and worried.  His mission was to find the one man he knew would have an answer...the wizard Verdane.  A former adventurering companion and friend, he would know what was wrong.But tonight was a night for friends.[ooc: sorry all for the late post...I had this - or something very similar to this - posted about three days ago...but you can imagine my frustration when my computer rebooted at the end...before I got a chance to send it...Emerald - feel free to add anything to the story and your background here...you are not a "lowly cohort" but a travelling companion and close friend... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
