(( OOC:  I see know one wants to rp with me.  Thats a shame and a little hurtful.  I know there is some one out there that has just a bit of time to either ro with their old friend OR make a new one since I have not met some of you.  It is always nice to make new friends but always better to see my old friends again. ))

Araon smiles from underneath his shroud as he watches Diedra walk in and pushing her children in also.  He sighs very happily as he thinks of his best friend and how much fun they had together.  Araon stands after she speaks and slowly walks over to her.  Both of his hands reach up and as he walks slowly they pull they hood down to reveal his face, seeming a little more experience in his posture and eyes as they look at Diedra. "I can never hide from you Diedra, its simple impossible for our minds are almost like one."  He walks over to her and rubs her shoulder.  "It has been a long time Diedra."

Diedra looked up, and smiled, hiding her startled feelings well. She stood and standing on her tiptoes, she gave Araon a hug, one of someone who hadn't seen the other in ages. "Araon, oh my dear one. It has been so long." A few tears slipped from the edges of Diedra's eyes, which she just let run. "How the devil are you?" Diedra broke into her winning smile and began to laugh.

Araon smiles and hugs her back tightly and kisses her cheek "Oh I have been well, I am glad to be back" He wipes the tears from her eyes lightly and smiles widely, remembering how deep their friendship was and still is then turns to her three pride and joys and smiles down at them. "Well hello there you three." Araon smiles down at them.

The trips looked up to him and smiled, then went back to playing with their toys and drinking out of thier juice bottles. Diedra smiled and roller her head, as if taking a crink out of her neck. She takes a seat again, and puts her hand out to the seat next to her. "Please sit Araon." She smiled sweetly and watched as he sat. "Oh my what have you been doing with yourself Araon? I mean it's been so long since I've seen you. I think the last time I saw you was, at the birth of these three. What have you been up to?" She smiled and reached out, taking one of his hands in hers.

Araon smiles more at the little ones then looks to Diedra, after sitting down beside her he lets her take his hand in hers with a small smile then takes a deep breathe. "Weeeeeeeeell, I just needed to go. I had some things I needed to work out you know?" Araon picks her hand up and kisses it softly. "Now Diedra you are my best friend and you know me very well, and I know you understand."

Diedra smiled softly. "Yes, you are right. I do understand. I guess that life has taken us on quite a ride hasn't it my friend?" She chuckled at the thought that they had gone through so very much and that now, they were back together, after what seemed like so very long. "So other than needing to get away from the hell that was Elmshade, what have you been up to? How are things with you and Zia, and how is everything going?" Diedra seemed full of questions, and she softly pushed the children's buggy and watched them yawn and fall asleep, yet she gave Araon her full attention.

"Yes Diedra, a very bumpy ride. Things with Zia and I arent perfect, yet... but nothing is ever perfect, even though Zia is to me... perfect in every way." Araon sighs softly and sits back into his chair. "How have you been fairing since I have been gone?"

Diedra looked away from her sleeping childern and looked over to Araon and smiled. "Well as you can see I've had my hands full with these three.  Being a mother has been one of the most fullfilling things that I have ever done. And to top it off, I have perfected feeding three hungry children at once." Diedra smiled at Araon, and she tipped the buggy back to that the trips were now lying back in the buggy. She looked down to there three angel like faces and smiled. "But I have missed you  my friend. I mean I would have liked your help when I brought your son and my apprentice together." Diedra smiled shrewdly and giggled softly, letting what she had just said sink into Araon's mind.

"Well as I thought Diedra you would have everything under control even with three children." Araon smiles over at the triplets, listening to her talk then looks over to her. "What do you mean exactly?" Araon believes he knows what she is talking about, knowing Diedra a little too well, knowing how she can bring peace to others.

Diedra smiled softly and then looked down. "Well Araon, you know how your son has put up walls to his heart, and he was never letting anything in. Well not me, but most others he wouldn't let in beyond what they could see. I found that for some reason, my apprentice Eleina was the exact same way. Ian seemed intrigued by her, and she didn't pay him any attention, so I knew it was a match made in heaven." At that last comment, Diedra starts laughing. After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself, so speaks again. "And Ian needed someone who could love him, and not fear what he could do. And Eleina is not afraid, not of anything. So she was really perfect for him." Diedra smiled at the memory of the two walking out of the tavern a few weeks back, hand in hand, Ian looking at Eleina dreamily and Eleina kissing him softly on the cheek.

Araon laughs along with Diedra whole heartedly and calms down with her, letting her finish talking. "Diedra you were always the best at match making, and I didnt know you could get Eleina with my boy. You know you were always the best." Araon smiles and hugs her tightly

Diedra smiled. "Well the both of them just needed a little... push. They just needed to see each other with out all the crap. Ian was trying to impress Eleina so much that she didn't pay him any attention. So I brought her around when he was feeling vulnerable. That worked perfectly. And now they are inseperable." Diedra smiled broadly. "So anyway Araon, what have you been up to? Other than all the other stuff you've told me about?"

Araon smiles and laughs at her statement. He then looks into her eyes, smiling still a bit and sighs. "Well... missing all my friends and their family." Araon looks over to the children and then back to Diedra. "You know, all that good stuff."
