Nahai looked up at the beautiful maiden who had joined them. Quickly she dabbed the moisture from her eyes, suddenly embarrassed about her outburst of emotion over something--someONE-- that had died many years ago.

"Welcome, friend!" she said as cheerilly as she could. Friend. That was a word she rarely used. Ever since she entered the Green Dragon, it seemed as though everyone was a friend. It surprised her, but she didn't feel quite as separated from everone else as she usually did.

Nahai wondered how much of her love tale this fair woman had heard. Not that it really mattered, it was no longer a secret. In fact, talking about Celecu actually made her feel better than she had in years.

She looked at Morwyn and the elf, waiting for someone else to speak.
