Same Differences [Aleksi]

[Eldon Sunkiss]

It was a shame that Eldon was having such a great time and Aleksi was, as she claimed, enjoying herself, because he did have a good deal of work to do before Leth controlled the skies. Eldon glanced up at the sky, the sun was further along than he both expected and hoped. "Alright Vanah, take us home. I've got some things I need to do." Eldon cocked his head to where he could see Aleksi from the corner of his eyes, he shrugged lightly. "Sorry to have to cut the ride short, but I've got several things I need to do today. A water reimancer's work is never done. With winter coming, my father likes to store as much water as can be." Vanah began to steer back towards Endrykas, and it was even readable in the horse herself slowing down without so much as a request from Eldon, that she also wanted to stay and run. But as Eldon said, there was much work to be done. "You said you were from the Diamond Clan right? Where are you living, Vanah and I will take you there."

Aleksi smiled and sighed. It was beautiful, while it lasted. Her head moved away from Eldon's shoulder and she just giggled at the way horse slowed down. it was rather obvious that she wasn't as happy as before.. not even close to it. Aleksi was one more person on the ride that actually was quite sad, partly because of the ride itself and partly because she was having a really good time talking to Eldon.

She shrugged lightly, grinning at Eldon's question about the place she's living at. Her finger pointed to the right lightly as she whispered in his ear "Slightly to the right, next to one of those big rocks, pretty much in the center of the tents of my clan..". It was obvious that she knew the area quite well and she had hoped he did as well, cause she didn't want to cause any trouble.

"If it's not along the way, don't worry about it, I can always walk...", winking lightly, she just leaned back on his shoulder. The sun was moving way too fast, if Aleksi had anything to say about that one, especially during her favorite, winter days.

Walk? Yeah right, like Eldon was going to make Aleksi walk somewhere after he had more or less dragged her all around Endrykas. He shook his head slowly as he pushed Vanah in the direction Aleksi pointed out to him. "I may have work to do, but I'm in no hurry to get it done. I can take you there." Eldon spoke in a 'matter of fact' sort of way. However, it wouldn't take too long to reach their destination. Eldon was first to jump off of Vanah, offering Aleksi his hand to help her down. "Here we are, the Heart of the Diamond Clan, strongest men and women in all of Endrykas, yet escorted by a lone hydromancer. I bet that's quite a sight." Eldon chuckled lightly as he nodded, jumping back on Vanah after Aleksi had touched the ground. "Try not to get yourself in too much trouble or anything. Maybe I'll see you around sometime!" Vanah snorted as Eldon turned her around and set her into brisk motion. They were walking pretty quickly, he may not have been eager to work, but he didn't want his father upset with him, that was for damn sure. END
