Elora walked into the Great Hall with her nose still in her book. She loved hearing the familiar sounds of silverware hitting each other, and the chatter, and owls and rats and toads all around. It felt like home again. She was hoping Keltan would be around. She hadn't seen him in a while and needed a friend to sit with. Kellen hadn't shown his face yet, and she missed him. But anyone, any company would be wonderful. After a long, lonely train ride, company would be wonderful. She stood there and scanned the hall. |
