Xander smiled and nodded towards Rai, as if saying good for you. "That is nice to hear. Me and my siblings are so close with each other." said Xander making circular smoke from the tip of his fingers. "Having a goddess as a mother and a wizard father was tough. I am watched from dusk til dawn." he laughed a little remembering how he was patrolled at.

Celena ran to her heart's content, her feet barely touching the ground she was running so fast. She had already passed through the trees and the leaves swirled around her. She laughed aloud, as if racing them and shifted into another gear. It was wonderful to be outside. She made a gradual u-turn and headed back to the castle. Once she was on the grassy slope once more, she slowed and then laid down in the soft grass, looking up at the moon and stars. She could hear the two boys in the distance, and smiled as she listened to tones as they spoke- not able to make out what words they were saying.

He saw her heading back and smiled, And here comes the little gazzele herself.

Tristan smiled. "Hello gorgeous." Tearing his eyes away from her for just a moment, he surveyed the common room. It was a pretty nice looking room and the couches looked comfortable. "Care to sit down?" Again he gave an elegant bow and winked at Mikki.

Siena laughed as they set off down the hall. His question took her slightly off guard and she was at a loss for words. Finally after some thought she decided to be totally honest and up front. He deserved the truth no matter how ugly it was.

"I don't get out much. My father is all about training me and my sister to take over when we are old enough. He has his own ways of doing things and...well I just prefer not to have to put people through all that." Okay, lame expanation but it's the best I got. "What about you?"

Mikki smiled at him, reveling in the way he made her feel. She loved the feel ing of him beside her. She broke her gaze away from his face and gazed at the room around them. The blue background and golden eagle were everywhere. The chairs were near a comfortable fire and was situated around a small table ideal for homework.

Celena shifted in the grass, hoping to get a better position. She had apparently laid down on a rock of some sort, but after the move she felt a lot better. Her eyes continued to roam the skies, allowing herself to relax. However, she heard Rai's voice drifting out toward her and she looked up and grinned. "You still have to come and get me," she teased, laying her head back down in the grass.


Dryas listened quietly as she explained more about herself. It was intriguing to listen to, especially since they lived worlds apart. And, it seemed that their parents were of completely different minds as well. "It wasn't lame," he said before he thought about a response. "I... enjoyed learning more about you," he said with a smile. "Me? Well... I've spent most of my life on Earth, working with my mother with the harvest and the different types of greenery," he said with a smile. "Pretty much the whole of my day has been lessons, since I was little... so far this has been a wonderful vacation!" he added with a chuckle.

Tristan smiled and moved toward the comfortable looking couch. It was interesting how the room looked. One would think the stark blend of the dark blue and gold would be obnoxious but it was the exact opposite. Everything about the room invited one in. Sighing happily, he plopped down onto the couch and sprawled out. It had been a long day!

Siena took in everything he had said. The two of them had grown up so differently, and yet they got along so well. When he spoke of his mother it was in a loving tone, that was foreign to her. It seems their upbringing was vastly different as well. Sighing, inwardly she refocused on Dryas.

"Vacation? I can hear the tone of your voice when you speak of plants, you love every minute of it!" She smiled fondly at him, as she was growing to love the smile that transformed his face when he talks of plants.

Akantha had made it to the Slytherin common room in the dungeons. She glanced around silently. It was nothing like her house, but she'd cope. She sat on a chair for a little while before she climbed the girls' dormitory staircase and went to bed.

Mikki sat on a chair, or more like collapsed. She was so tired she didn't know what to do. She stared at the fire.

Xander heard that the feast is on a wrap and he decided to head for the Ravenclaw common room at last. He waved at Celena and Rai and head towards the staircase. He was well oriented by his father and he amost know the nook and cranny of the school.

When he reached the portal, he answered the question in just a second. He was the son of Athena, of course he can answer the question easily.

When he got the the common room he collapsed on a chair and waited for the room orientation.

Mikki got up and streched. I'm going to bed. Any one else going? She yawned and covered her mouth. She shrugged and left.
