While Ran isn't immediately visible, signs of where she was are. An upraised vine, or other small sign of Elemental prowess, minor things like that. Niala explains that because the blood of the dragons was so weak in her (or her husband) that she did take the second breath fairly late in life as those things went. She also waves to a few people, not family, but everyone knew of her. And sort of guessed some things about Amethyst, just based on past experiences.<br/><br/>Eventually, a lean and well muscled looking youth approaches, spear in hand, a copper plate on his chest. Well, youth is a bit of an exaggeration, but he can't be much more than twenty years. Niala mentions to Amethyst that Tepetl, one of her eldest is approaching.<br/><br/>Tepetl has his mother's dark hair, and the shares a few features of the face with her, but his skin is far redder than any of the people around. "Mother," he says, bowing, "I see that your trip went well. How is your companion, does she know?"<br/><br/>Niala nods, "yes, Amethyst knows. There's more to explain, but it's not for such public places." She leans forward, hugging her son. "It's good to be back, but well, again, later. When we're all together."
