<div class="floatleft">(http://americablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kili-203x300.jpg)</div><strong>Who:</strong>Ayshia<br/><strong>Where:</strong>Sitting by the fire at the cooking hearth<br/><strong>When:</strong>Late afternoon<br/><hr/><br/>Valko was surprised, to say the least, when she invited him back to the Crane Hearth with her. He smiled and grabbed both of their cups, spilling her spicy concoction into the trash bowl they had been using, "I would love to talk with you more and see the needle in action." Her mentioning her father made him realize something.<em>Tamen</em>was her father. The man was just as protective of his daughter as he himself was of Naliya. What would he think of him getting close to Ayshia? Would he approve? They had always gotten along seeing as his father and Tamen were close friends and they both had similar jobs. But being friends and approving of him getting close to his daughter were two very different things.<br/><br/>Well, for now all he could do was hope Tamen wouldn't mind too much. Valko stood up and walked over to stand next to Ayshia, waiting for her to lead the way. This was turning out to be a great day even if he had almost frozen to death in the snow.<br/><br/>~To the Crane Hearth (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=167251.msg8168519#msg8168519)~
