Walking to the city lord's mansion was pretty cool. The people as a city seem to prosper in the city lords's fief, no one on the way there seemed to not know the insignia on the carriage that was being pulled by to sable mares from the guards post. They all seem to respect the pathway, no one wants to be trampled but the procession was slow to accommodate the peoples safety. with my hearing it's easy to pick up the voices of the mass of people out and about. twenty minutes later and i see we are to the front gate of the Lady's mansion and as we enter there's the scent of roses that seem to accompany the young miss.
Young miss says "Butler Felton? Con you inform dad that we have arrived? I will report to him personally as well as introduce him to the expeditions savior". Butler Felton agreed with a "Yes young miss. I will certainly do that. Shall i have the maids prepare a room for our guest?" "yes! That would be great.. Thank you, Dismissed. River, if you would like, can you make the birds go to their original size, the maids will be afraid." River said "yes young miss" like he was teasing her but he knew she would see his smirk anyways. "So, Miss Lisette, What in the world were you doing out there that you couldn't send an adventurer to do?" asked River randomly as he thought of a explanation. "I was looking for a nourishing Mana Medicinal ingredient" said Lisette. as we were talking what i could only assume was her father walked over in a rush and squeezed her up in a hug probably trying to not think of the fact that he nearly lost her. "Dad! Stop it,i have a guest here." "You do not know just how much you worried me and your mother, do you.. We were thinking of sending more guard out to look for you when we heard you were finally back in the city walls." said the worried father. Looking at him now, i can see his tired eyes reflecting relief and a little bit of hope. River decided that he was curious enough to ask the question he had been pondering from 5 minutes ago who she had told him of the grass the were looking for."Lisette, and Lord DeMallti, the hopeful look on you face says that you are hoping she came back with the ingredient, but can someone tell me what you want a dangerous thing like that for?"
Father and Daughter looked to each other looked to the door and the father spoke. "Young man i heard your name was River, May i address you as such?" "Yes indeed" "River, my wife has been in and out of sickness due to her pregnancy. But she has been caring what we think are triplets. normally a woman who has triplets doesn't survive the birth, let alone live to 6 months. well my wife has a higher capacity for magic and has been healing herself in order to be able to deliver the kids safely. she is using it every dad but the mana cost in a day is severe when used on a woman with kids who are unborn, she requires a medicine to help with that supply to keep the mana level from dropping but we need her to make it to at least tomorrow to be able to deliver them." "i see... Then maybe i could help. My mana was high when i checked it myself, i however can not give you an exact level as i'm not allowed" said River as he knows he wants to help. "Dad can we let him help? he saved all our troops, used a recovery spell and saved me when i was passed out on the road. he gave me his word to not hurt me,. in the elvish language at that." the shocked look on his face said a lot. how did a kid know the language of the Elves. ?
