GALLAIS'S RETREAT
Gallais's Retreat was full as it always was this time of night. The upper portion of the tavern and eatery was taken up by the single large table where all of the Leonidas children were crowded around the table talking and laughing. It was a sight to see really, fourteen young men and women ranging in age from five hundred plus years to just over nine years of age. This night however they were joined by two new members of their monthly gatherings here, though only Sadi was actually new to the group. Moneus was already considered part of their family because he had grown up with them and their fathers considered themselves brothers. Carina sat next to Moneus now, nibbling his elven ear from time to time, with a look of pure love and satisfaction on her face. Their first night together, after she had wrapped the shadows around them and they disappeared from the party shortly after Andro and Sadi, had been far more than Carina had ever dreamed of.
