34 Chapter 34 A Foxy Move (1/2)

”Luan, what a surprise! We were just talking about you!” said Kilyn with a false smile plastered on her face. Llewel just sighed and walked over to where Tom and Carla had sat down at a table and dropped his rope with a loud thump.

”You were?” asked the elven girl with a wide grin of pleasure.

Gia was frozen in place looking at her. The girl's skin was completely white, like it had been painted such, and her hair was pitch black, but the most impressive part of her face, were her eyes. One was a deep purple and the other was a deep blue. They didn't even have any white to them. Gia couldn't decide if she was beautiful or odd. Though, judging from the way the twins were acting towards her, she was wanting to think beauty won out. Gia was seriously not liking the twins, despite the fact one of them just saved her life.

”Let's get you sat down,” said Vonn softly, moving her towards the table and a waiting chair.

”This human fell off the walking branch and Llewel had to jump to save her. The tree wasn't very happy about it,” said Kilyn with a sad shake to her head.

”Oh, dear!” exclaimed Luan, covering her mouth with both hands, hiding the pink tattooed lines on her cheeks. ”I bet the branch moved quite a bit!”

”Almost six whole feet,” said Kilyn. ”Do you think there's anything you can do about it?”

”Six feet! Llewel didn't use his picks on it, did he? The last time he did that, the branch bucked anytime someone walked on it, until I got it calmed down. The marks are still there, if you look.”

”No, nothing like that,” said Kilyn, shaking her head.

”Well, okay. I need to go check on it right away! Poor thing!” said Luan rushing away, focused entirely on the branch.

”You didn't mention that you used your vines on it,” said Llewel with a chuckle as Kilyn joined them.

”And make it my fault? No thank you! This way she'll think it will all be your fault,” said Kilyn, giving him a smirk.

”She'll see your vines, dummy,” he said, rolling his eyes.

Gia tried to ignore the bickering as she sat down carefully into the chair. Every movement hurt her side, and she was afraid to move her left arm at all. At least she could breath, even if it was a shallow breath each time.

”Let me help you with your bag,” said Vonn, moving to help her take it off without her having to move her left arm too much.

”Thanks,” she said, not raising her eyes from the table.

”That was a rotten thing, pushing me like that!” growled Carla.

”I was just trying to get you off the branch,” said Vonn softly, sitting next to Gia and taking her right hand in his. ”I had no idea Gia would be hurt!”

Gia looked up at him and smiled. She knew it was a complete accident, and gave him a smile to let him know it.

”We're all okay, and I'm sure Gia will be fine after she heals up some,” said Tom, patting Carla's hand, that was holding onto his arm. ”Why don't you focus some of that anger at getting supper ready?”

Carla shot him a nasty look but stood up and moved over to where the deer meat had been set down. A fire was burning in the fireplace, lighting the area and giving off a warmth that was appreciated.

”If that's bothering you too much, I can take you to see someone about getting it healed?” suggested Llewel, nodding to Gia's side.

”No,” she began but Kilyn jumped in.

”That sounds like a great idea! The two of you can be back before the food's ready.”

”I should go, too,” said Vonn, starting to rise out of his chair.

”Oh, but I was going to talk to you about plant magic while they were gone! I think you have a talent for it,” said Kilyn, looking excited as she held out a hand and a green glow started to form in her palm.

”Plant magic?” asked Mikey, coming over from the fire where he had been standing, to see.

”Come on, Gia,” said Llewel. ”It won't take long to find someone. If the local alchemist's aren't in their lab, the mayor can do it.”

Gia stood shakily, not sure she liked the idea of leaving with Llewel so soon.

”Maybe I can talk to you about plant magic later,” said Vonn, starting to stand to go with her again, but Mikey pouted.

”You just don't want me to learn anything about the magic.”
