	"Well, personally, if I am not dancing or running small errands, I spend quite some time on personal upkeep. Since its just us, I suppose I can tell you some of my tricks," she said with a wink. She taught al her students these things as well, and even provided the materials for them should they become official Kallan dancers, but she didn't see the trouble in telling Maeve, especially not after all she has done for their village. "I have a separate jar for exfoliating salts than this one that I use before I take a milk bath. I use a honey and milk mask for my face while I soak. I use incense pellets for a deodorant, wouldn't want to make a show for anyone and when they come to meet you be turned down by an odor from working," she giggled. "I didn't want to give Lynn a milk bath because I didn't want to risk her breathing it in earlier. But once I go to moisturize, I make sure to use the lotion first, because if if used the oil first," she said as she reached for the oil jar, opening it and allowing the smell of warm spices into air, mixing wonderfully with the scent of the cocoa butter, "the oil will block the lotion from properly being absorbed into the skin. So lotion first, oil second. Plus, it makes you smell wonderful," she said with a smile. With that said, the scent that filled the room would easily describe Valia's normal fragrance if one was close enough to her. "The rest is makeup and personal care, which I try to stay away from using too much makeup so I don't damage all the hard work I put into my skin. A little redness for the cheeks, something for the eyes and lips."

	Maeve may not have expected to hear Valia talk about it so readily, but truth was, there weren't many people other than her students who ever seemed to care enough to ask. Sure the end result was always desired, but how it got there, not so much a talking point, but it was something Valia took pride in as much as her ability to dance. "Sorry if I am rambling, it's nice to have someone to talk to about such things," she admitted. "Alright Lynn, that should be enough soaking for a moment, lets get you moisturized." She helped Lynn out of the bath and helped her sit on a small bench. Valia got behind her and gently pulled her long wavy hair back, into a loose ponytail, which she then rolled around itself into a bun, no hair ties required. "Alright hun, this may seem a little intimate, but I promise we won't be handsy," she said before they proceeded to apply the lotion and then the oil to her body.

	Lynn did seem a little uncomfortable with it at first, but was soon fine with it. She was feeling much better than before she had gotten here already, and this felt much like having a massage, especially when instructed to lay down. It was more relaxing than she was ready for as she soon fell asleep while they worked.

	Bidzil thought about what Kallen said, [color=F4A460]"The enemy of humankind? I'm not sure I follow. I've never heard of Jeevak before now. As for that little speed demon, like you said, she may be fast, but if they are moving as a group she can only go as fast as the group does. The question is, where they went...,"[/color] Bidzil shook his head, none of that was important at the moment, [color=F4A460]"Anyway, I'm going to see where I can help get everything ready to go,"[/color] he said as he walked off to help make another stretcher for Hilde.



	Irene's eyes opened when she heard her name, she rose up, much to the worry of girl who was watching over her, and listened to Allanon introduce himself as a man hired to come get her. "Someone... finally came?" she asked in disbelief. Tears started to form in her eyes as she reached up to Allanon, but then hesitated, drawing back. "N-no... I can't. If Malkhad is gone it is safer here. I was taken from home to pay my father's debt, he was never able to smith equipment fast enough to keep to Calibris's demand. So I was taken and then used as a bargaining chip, sold to Malkhad as part of some deal they were working out.... It isn't safe in Portea, They should run away and take refuge in Kalla," she pleaded. "If I go back.... I'm sure Calibris will find out, and... I don't know what would happen then..."
