Time: Winter 15, 510 A.V. Noon. Location: House Of Azeran and Islena |
Adrin usually tried for his first visit to his father’s house to be one when his father wouldn’t be home straight away. When the winter winds started to howl their was little choice but to find shelter in the city of Riverfall. Cyphrus was not a friendly place when the cold weather set in, not that it was free of its dangers any other time. Of course he knew his way to his father’s house by heart and could probably find his way there with his eyes closed. It was the midday and his mother would be in from the market. Adrin pushed his hair from his eyes as he made his way up the stone path to the small house. Azeran didn’t have the standing he wanted yet but Adrin imagined when his own son was born this house would be quickly left behind for something more opulent and fitting his station. Adrin sighed. Though the temperature hadn’t yet dipped below freezing the water was much too cold for swimming and sent a chilling blast of wind through the front yard as well as through the cloak that Adrin wore. He stepped lively up to the door and opened it making his way inside. Therein surely enough he saw his mother, the Konti Islena, looking as beautiful as her station befitted and staring silently out of the window inside. Adrin knew why she stayed so long looking outside of windows but it was something that they didn’t speak about. It was too painful for her and something that he didn’t feel he could understand enough to warrant its severity. Slipping inside he spoke softly, in Kontinese, a language that he had learned from her, and while he wasn’t perfect at it he could certainly speak it well enough to be understood. “Greetings mother.” He said softly, dipping his head. |
