Theres no use going home yet, father is way too mad. Eddie lingers talking to the others. I am so sore from that m just not use to that much work, I kinda dread the long walk home. Dinner will probably be cold, or finished by the time I get there. Mom is quick to clean up and put away the leftovers after dinner.

"Come home with me, Eddie! Ma 'n Pa would love to see you again. We'll have a big hot meal and you can sleep in Tirrin's old room. Then we can come back together tomorrow." Kiylea is full of enthusiasm at the thought. "It'd be great fun - will you come?"

[OOC: erm. not to be a grouch or anything, but what was Mero's equipment given to Ringly? Just for continuity's sake.]

Thanks Kiylea, that sounds good. Are you sure your parents won't mind? Eddie grins happily and practically skips back to her house. On the way he will pause to tighten a boot lace, and when he catches back up, a flower will magicaly appear in his hands, and then he hands it to her akwardly.
Erm, here have a flower.
When he arrives at her house he ignores the flashes of dissapointment and worry that he sees in Kiylea's parents. They recover quickly, presenting a poilte and friendly maner toward him. He misses completely their subtle communications regarding him, and enjoyes the dinner and soft bed.

"They won't mind a bit, you'll see," Kiylea replies. She keeps up a cheerful stream of conversation about the practice session and tomorrow's adventure as they head back, interrupted only by Eddie's presentation of the flower. "Oh! Thank you, Eddie." The gift is accepted shyly, but with obvious pleasure. There's a moment's pause while each tries to think of what to say next. "Let's hurry home so I can get it in water," Kiylea settles on finally. "Clara gave me a wonderful vase that keeps flowers alive for ages. They'll look beautiful together." She smiles and starts off at a trot, holding the bloom carefully.
Her parents' concern about Eddie goes over Kiylea's head as she dashes about making sure everything is ready and that he has whatever he needs for the night. Vase and flower are placed on a little table near a sitting room window, "where it can see the sunrise." After Eddie has settled in, Kiylea also goes to bed, though she's up early the next morning to help make breakfast and prepare for a momentous day.

By the time training is done it is getting dark. Bubbles give any of her friends that want it a ride into Amblestock on the family wagon. Apon returning, she eats a late dinner, sets aside her armor and weapons after a good cleaning, baths and goes to bed. She awakes early the next morning, but anxious and excited about the adventure she is about to undertake.
Bubbles mother puts her to work getting breakfast ready to help get her mind off of thing and be the time she is done and once again dressed in her armor her friends began to arrive.

As everyone converges upon the Greenbottle home to begin their new adventure, upon the porch long-chair sits Father Alton and Mero. Mero picks at a nearly empty plate of home fries and scrambled eggs, the plate in front of Father Alton is already clean and he sips at a glass of iced tea with a lemon floating within. Father Alton seems particularly calm this morning, enjoying the summer heat alongside his iced tea.
"I'm glad to see that all of you have arrived," Father Alton says as the last of you show up, "I expected nothing less from you, even you Jerran," he says with a knowing wink to the bard. Taking a breath in, he pushes himself slowly to his feet, Mero watching him carefully should the old halflings limbs waver, but they do not, and Mero resumes his meal by popping the last home fry into his mouth. Reaching to the side, Father Alton picks up his walking stick, giving it some weight, he makes his way to the stairs down the front of the porch.
You gather at the foot of the stairs, it reminds you of the many times you gathered at his foot to hear the teachings of the Holy Mother Yondalla. "Are you ready?"

Bubbles looks around at her friends, giving each of them a warm smile then looks back towards Father Alton. "I am ready," she states. "Any words of advice?"
