The nut brown girl's cheeks went even rosier.  Trying to draw the young man's attention away from the hard time her friends were sharing about her before he could ask what she blushing about, the giantess stammered out, "I'm sorry, Yew.  You allready said that, didn't you?"<br/><br/>She gestured to an available chair--a beautiful seat of rare woods woorked with orichalcum and moonsilver.  "Have you ever seen one of these before?" she inquired.  "My mother told me about them from her time on the blessed isle.  You focus your mind upon an image of what you would like to sit or recline in, then give it a little Essence or just focus your will upon the image as you touch it."<br/><br/>Too demonstraight, Yume sent a little golden spark from her fingertip and the Thousand Comforts Lounge reshaped itself into a cushioned hemisphere ballanced on a wicker frame.<br/><br/>It was about then that the Haltan beauty joined them.  Taller than most men with round shoulders and hard muscles, but also round of hip and vast of cleavage, Yume looked at her, smiled, and took a step forewards with a cheerful smile and a polite bow.  "Nice to meet you, Belara.  We have.  My name is Yume.  I'm a disciple of the Earth and Sky School of Martial Arts, Medecine, and Inner Ballance.  My friend Sakura will rejoin us shortly.  The handsome gentleman is Yew, I've just met him a few mintues ago.  These are Elerra--a formidable martial artist--and Sania Lightfeater--who prefers to be called Sorceress."<br/><br/>For a moment, straight white teeth sank into a full lower lip thoguhtfully.  "I can't place your acccent, Belara, but I'm sure I've heard it before."
