<strong>Catherine Elizabeth</strong><br/><br/>Catherine’s eyes widened when she was handed the bag of gems. She initially had been waiting for Lylia to finish talking to return the gems politely but it became obvious the girl needed sleep as soon as possible. She would have to wait until a more appropriate time to discuss the future of the gems. For now she wanted to show Lylia her cave so that she may sleep comfortably nestled in a bed of soft furs. She tied the velvet bag securely to her belt.<br/><br/>“Thank you for placing such trust in me, we can work out all the details when you are rested. I can see you are exhausted, please follow me.” She let Lylia set the pace and led her to her cave which was situated with a lovely view of the waterfall, those caves closer to the fall had been taken but this was still very close, and the soft rumbling the water made as it tumbled upon the rocks was soothing, by the time the sound reached into the cave it was drastically muffled to a very low background noise that would drown out most everything else. She walked next to Lylia so they could talk comfortably if it was desired.<br/><br/>When they reached her cave she lit a candle made of tallow. The entry way was lined with many medicinal plants, the further in you went the more shade loving the plants were. Then the plants ended and the cave neatly sectioned itself into three rooms. She had chosen this cave for that very reason and because it seemed to stay very pleasantly dry in here. The first two were empty but if you went through them and to the last, a very small room, there where the light no longer reached was her bed. Catherine set the candle down.  She showed Lylia the pile of furs she  used for a bed and the thick fur she had stuffed with soft grasses and sewn shut she used for a pillow. She hoped the accommodations would work well for the girl so she might rest well.<br/><br/>“If there is anything else you need, just let me know. I will let you get some sleep.”  She then made her way back out of the cave and started her search through the forest for her candidate tree. She knew there would be one just perfect for what she needed, it just may take time to find it.<br/>
