Ellera grinned as a friend appeared, the Sidereal waving a bit more merrily to Yume then she had to any of the other people, and gave Yume a hug, easily returning the kiss... before clapping with glee. "Sit down Yume! It's been a few months!" She clapped again... motioning the girl toward the table. There were only two chairs... Yume and Sakura able to see that Ellera's clothes were shifting even as she did... matching herself subconsciously to the other two. While Ellera was a bit chilly (Yu-Shan was warmer then this) she did do her best to stay in style. The furs vanishes, and a blue dress appeared, accented with with a white stripe around the wais, and showing a little, but not to much cleavage. Ellera wasn't trying to seduce anyone, at the moment.<br/><br/>"Sit down. It took a bit of prompting, but I got the staff here to make a passable cup of tea." Prompting in this case meant providing the tea from personal stash in elsewhere, and offering a fairly large tip if they made it properly. Ellera could have done it without giving the money... but for this class of people, a little extra money could relieve many of their worries. As always, even when she was doing something else, Ellera tried to spread happiness where she went. Giving money away had repercussions, something she'd had to learn herself. It was better that people earned it. Then the same worrisome dependence wouldn't set in.<br/><br/>"I'll have them bring one for you." Ellera gave her another huge smile, patting the table. "Sit, sit. Take off that pack, which I think might way more then me, and relax. And Sakura." Ellera looked at the Elemental. As always, while Ellera still had that same good natured attitude, she couldn't keep a hint of... command out of her tone. Ellera was, by her nature, used to gods and elementals following her commands. "Could you be a dear and find another chair for yourself? We three can sit and wait for anyone else to arrive. And to answer your question..." Ellera said, as she slid back into the chair, taking a sip from her still warm tea. Brilliant Blue eyes, vaguely unnatural in the depth and intensity of the color looked at Yume from over the steam of the cup. "I've been well. Busy busy." Yume had never actually gotten Ellera to fess up exactly what she did, why she had come to the temple, why after becoming friendly with Yume and a few others she just decided to leave one day, or where she went after that. Furthermore, she never got Ellera to admit where she was coming from when she stopped in, or where she was going. "But yes, I believe I was called here too. Some fellow calling himself Steadfast Shadow Under the Evening Star?"
