Adriana only vaguely noted the young girl's appearence. Her eyes continued their lazy wandering about the hall, taking in the lights, the marble, and though in some part she knew it was beautiful, she didn't really even comprehend at the moment that this was a house, where someone lived. It just seemed like some grand room of state. She started when the older lady came from the door, and eyed her warrily.

In response to her query, Adriana repeated, "I'm here to see Keldon." Her voice cracked a bit. She offered the letter to yet another eye, trusting her to give no trouble. At her next statement, Adriana blithely complied, grateful to have a reassuring presence near her. She followed the woman in a lackluster fashion, her feet dragging a bit, unable to shake the weariness from her bearing. 'Lord Elsdragon?' she thought. Strange indeed to think of him so...

The fire in the dining room was like a gift from the gods. Adriana hovered near it, subconsciously pushing the stray hairs that fallen from their bindings back behind one ear or the other. Her hands visibly shook as she held them near the flames, but the warmth was slowly quieting her. She stood without shivering, and cast more looks around her. The dining room was vast, and she felt very small inside it. Distractedly she wondered where Keldon was, and if he would even come to greet her. The days of travel and the sheer size of the mansion she found herself in led her to doubt herself in what she had presumed. Could the man in charge of all this truly have sent specifically for her? Now, some small part of her mind doubted it, and she began growing anxious to see the radiant face and hazal eyes she remembered so vividly.

It was then that a cry from behind her startled the poor Baijani, causing her to jump and spin around in surprise. But then another shock, and so welcome!

"Sevette!" Adriana embraced the woman gleefully. "Oh Sevette, I wasn't sure if I would ever see you again!!" She smiled and shook her head at her own melodramatic tone. "Really, I surely didn't think I'd find you here." She nodded to Sevette's query. "Yes, I got his message. I left right away. I-I was so glad just to have somewhere to go. But you too!" She hugged her again, her eyes alight with joy. "How did you get here?"
