"St'oorm" Lena tried to repeat dragon's name correctly. "St'orm... Storm" with a wide smile she managed to make it sound almost perfectly. The man's name was much easier. "K'arak... Karak!" She was really proud of herself. Lena tried this with few more words and with some trouble she managed. With every minute it was easier to understand man's speech. Dragon's was sounding very clear in her mind.<br/><br/>"'U under'.. understan'd Storm thougths. Am'I link'ed by af'orce too?" Being linked to the dragon in any way appeared to her fascinating. Lena sit closer to Karak and leaned back against the dragon as well. It was warm and she felt so save in the company of those two strangers! She truly hoped they will not leave soon. Lena wanted to know them better, to know everything about them.<br/><br/>"You know, if this is her lake, then we might want to ask permission to stay here. Although, since we don't have a set date for our arrival, would you mind staying here a few days, if she grants us permission?"<br/><br/>Hearing this Lena almost jumped for joy. She left elven village for few months to stay here alone without people showing her lack of sympathy at every turn. In her first day she met most amazing couple she could ever dream of! Not only they had nothing against her strange look but they seemed to like her. Lena was delighted.<br/><br/><em>Young one, may we stay here with you, for a few days?</em><br/><br/>"Y's! Y's f'curs 'U my!" Lena, full of enthusiasm, spoke in her dialect again. "I'd'be haa'py! Happy. I'd be happy! 'U can stay few months even!" She laid back again, resting her back against the dragon filled with joy. She would hug them both if they weren't strangers. She wondered if the dragon would feel her hug? Suddenly something occurred to her.<br/>"Karak, how did 'U both arrived here? Storm was flying, but 'U?"
