The innkeeper's gaze narrowed as Elias placed the silver piece on the counter along with the five gold. "It's 5 silver for a full feeding," the innkeeper growled at the boy. He leaned over the counter, looming over Elias and Havilah. "If you don't have the coin I suggest you find another...

Hava glanced over and smiled at Elias as he held up the coin pouch, her worries once again drifting from her mind. Silently she thought of how kind it was of the old man to give them a small start. She also found herself silently thinking of how clever Elis was for keeping the pouch hidden...

Hava gave a tired smile at Elias' words. A warm soft bed and a hot meal did sound really good right about now. While Hava loved the mountains, she had to admit that she'd been slightly spoiled when she and her father had moved into town. Having a permanent place to call home had been very...

Hava glanced at Elias and frowned slightly as he drew up the hood of his cloak. She didn't understand why he was trying to hide his ears. After all the time they'd spent together, Hava had grown use to rather fond of them and she actually thought that they made him look handsome. Hava's...

"I should hope so," Hava replied with a sigh. She was use to hard living in the mountains having grown up there. But after she and father came to live in Haven, and after their time spent with Karo and Rauzlyn, Hava was starting to realize how much she missed sleeping in an actual bed. Even...

As they rode on, Hava was silent though her mind whirled with different thoughts. She thought over what Rauzlyn had said. Hava knew that the healer was right about telling Elias how she felt, yet everytime she opened her mouth to speak nothing came out. Almost as if she was second guessing...

Karo grasped Elias' hand back and gave the boy a nod. Standing there watching the two, Hava couldn't help but feel like she was glimpsing at the future. Though Karo towered over Elias, in some small way, in him Hava saw the man Elias might one day become. Hava once again felt that all too...

Karo gave a shrug of his shoulder. His eyes were distant as he looked at the medallion, as if he were gazing into a completely different place and time. "Just a little bit of home," he said, turning his gaze to Elias. "The medallion has magic in it and can bring you aid should you ever need...

Rauzlyn smiled as she grasped Elias' hand in hers. Truth be told, Rauzlyn wished that the two would stay, but if there was one thing she had learned it was that she couldn't interfere with the lives of others. She could only help in whatever way she could. "You are very welcome young man,"...

Hava looked up at Rauzlyn and gave a slight smile. Somehow she knew Rauzlyn was right. Hava cared about Elias, if only she could gather up her courage enough to tell him. "Thank you," she said softly. At a moment later, Elias stepped into the barn. He seemed different again, like his mood...

Hava's hand stilled again. Rauzlyn was right. Perhaps if she told Elias what she was feeling, why she had been so shy and distant it might set things right with them again. Even so, Hava couldn't help but feel the small trance of fear. "What if I don't know what to say?" Hava asked. "What...

Hava's hand raised to continue brushing the horse's coat, but her strokes were slow and not very well placed. Her mind wasn't on the horses at all, but rather what Rauzlyn had said. "I don't mean to be shy around him," Hava said softly. "In truth... I've never acted like this before...

Hava stopped brushing and turned fully to look at Rauzlyn. Elias? Hava wrap her mind around everything that had passed between them over the past couple weeks. They had been rather close with each other and, if she was honest with herself, Hava did feel very fond for him. The thought causing...

Hava sniffed lightly as she tried wiping her tears away. She didn't want to cry in front of Rauzlyn. "I just.... I don't understand," Hava said softly with a shake of her head. Elias had never acted like that towards her before. Not a couple days ago, Elias acted like he couldn't be parted...

Hava didn't know what stung worse. What Elias had said or the way he had said it. He had never spoken to her in such a way before. It was if he was completely closed off to her. A stranger. Tears pricked at her eyes, but she blinked them back. "You aren't a burden, Elias," she said flatly...

Hava glanced up as Elias passed by her. His silence made her feel a little uneasy. It wasn't like him. Usually he was so chatty, especially with her. Hava felt a small pang of sadness, but not knowing what to do about it Hava remained silent while she finished her meal. After they were all...

"That's good," Rauzlyn said as she lifted the boy's shirt enough to inspect the wound. "It's knitted well. Though I would caution you from straining yourself too much just yet." Rauzlyn smiled as she lowered Elias' shirt. "But you're healed enough to travel if that's your decision." Hava...

Hava glanced up when Elias entered the room and smiled at him as he sat at the table where Karo sat. She had been up earlier at was helping Rauzlyn to prepare their morning meal of eggs with fresh baked bread and bacon. "Good morning, Elias," she said quietly before turning back to what she...

Hava heard the change in Elias' breathing as he drifted off to sleep and smiled as she closed the book. She tucked the blankets in around him and sat there for a moment watching him. As she lightly brushed a strand of hair from his face, Hava felt a warm familiar feeling tug at her heart...

Hava stopped just as she reached the door and looked back at Elias. She hadn't really wanted to leave just yet. They had spent so much time together over the past few days that the idea of sleeping in separate rooms, while proper, seemed foreign to her. And the look in his eyes tugged at her...
