Gwen looked around in the Tavern, nodding to Belana the waitress with a smile. It was good to be back and she looked forward to working this evening and seeing the friends she made here again. The holiday with the sisters had been quite an experience. Laughter, talks, long walks, the sisters shared everything together and had included Gwen as if she had been one of their own sisters. At the beginning of the week VanQa had kept a safe distance though from Gwen and Gwen had politely done the same.
The big change in attitude from the Lady VanQa came when Gwen found her sitting outside the Inn at the edge of Lake Ilshen. Her shoulders had been shaking and for a moment Gwen doubted if she should walk away and let the elf shred her tears alone. Or maybe she should warn her sisters. But then she felt compassionate and sat down besides VanQa quietly.
A little while later they started talking and Gwen discovered that Miguen had left VanQa because he was unable to live with her ungoing suffering each time he looked at her face. It was truly a sad thing, but Gwen understood why she hadn’t told her sisters yet. She didn’t want to ruin her sisters vacation. And so it was that Gwen had a relaxed week off, made a starting friendship with the Lady VanQa.
But she was glad to be back in the Quarter now and eager to meet those she had missed dearly. |
