Elann didn't understand how Noah could not know his own family, but at least she felt comforted by his words. She let out a sigh of relief as she settled to lay a hand on his shin. Her chestnut hair fanned out on the blanket she lay on and she seemed to be much more at peace in the heart as he explained. 

"Oh, the way you made them sound to me was violent," she grinned to him to show her silliness in thinking such, "or perhaps it was just my own fears nagging me. I'm a fairly shy person. But when I was in the swamps of Kenash, I was going to be eaten by a Dhani who called himself a River God. I fought him and didn't let my fears rule me. I think in the same way, whatever I'll face with your family, I'll handle it, but I just hope they can one day be my new family."

He could tell my her tone of voice that there was sadness in it, and in the bond. She still missed her family and had hoped this would be her new family, one she could be comfortable around. She resolved to talk to Aimee about it a little bit maybe that evening, but wasn't in a hurry. She had a couple weeks yet to find out; plus Isabella would be returning in the next week perhaps.

Noah asked about their house and her thought-filled eyes trailed up to him with a small smile.

"I'll be comfortable in a small or large house. I've never seen Zeltiva, nor lived in a house, so I'm not sure what to expect. I would be okay living in a tent outside the city if you wanted. My preference though...I've thought about it and I know I want a garden. You don't seem like the farming type, but I would love a farm. Other than that, I don't really care. I've thought about decorations and I want it to be a very comfortable home, whether it's a farm, the house you talked about, or even a room at the Inn by your tree. I just can't picture it. It's nothing like I've ever seen I imagine."

Syliras was far from Zeltiva in appearance, and was just one large stone clump of a city with little homes etched into the grey. She had never seen a city like it, as Kenash was mostly plantations (to which she didn't see) and swamp, and her homeland was mostly desert. The only buildings she knew of were the sandstone homes of Yahebah and the temple.
