Mira noticed a very odd looking man coming towards her and Lily.
"Oh hey now! We have a new friend! Hello, they call me Iadarion! And you?"
Mira didn't know whether to laugh and be merry with this man, or fear him - it seemed Lily chose the way of fearing him. Mira glanced nervously over at her - but her spirits eased a little when the cool glint in the man's eye reminded her of the river, and the soft waters that meant no harm, only to sweep you away if you so decided to kick up your feet.
"Well...hello Iadarion, I am Mira." she said. He couldn't decide whether it was sincere or not, but it did not matter to him - it was another guest to join in the merriment! "We'll have another round of ales!" Iadarion yelled.
Twylight overheard this and sighed: here we go again , she thought to herself.
