"Ah what a lovely evening. Although I didn't expect you to turn up here, Lady Lovelace." Ada's eyes narrowed as she faced the troublesome imp. "Aegar, you're being a nuisance again I see." She was glad to encounter the imp again, she needed to keep tabs on him or he would get far too big for his boots like that time he tried to make an elvish community worship him when he helped with the summer harvest's failing plants. She noticed a familiar glint in his eye, he was not talking to her for any other reason than to get something out of her, what she did not know.
The brown haired man frowned and looked at Aegar with a disapproving eye, this made Duplo smirk and Ada noticed him sizing himself up to Aegar. The boy stood tall and puffed out his chest, with his arms firmly clenched at his sides.
Duplo paused in her grooming and observed Ada and the two males, wondering and kind of admiring Ada. She had such a deep history. Then the flat faced boy came over “Hey Duplo. I was just wondering… I mean if you didn’t mind me asking that is, how was it that you met Ada? I mean I’m just curious and I thought since we are going to be travelling together and all, why is it you’re travelling with her?”
She looked at this boy with his odd monocles and his ugly clothes. He had leaves in his hair and if she had lips, they would be drawn back in a disgusted grimace. She seriously considered ignoring this arrogant child but a little voice in the back of her mind said she's regret that. "Ada came across me in a shop and took me in as an apprentice, as she said" she snapped. Giving as little as she could while still answering his question "And why are you here." She commented more than asked but waited for an answer none the less.
Willow on the other hand watched Ada and her encounter. She laughed at something the imp said, throwing her head back and flashing her teeth. The boy pulled his lips tight in disapproval while rabbit-girl bickered with the new two-legged creature. He flicked his ears to and fro picking up small bits of conversation. One of the centaurs began to sing in the equine language. A beautiful song about rolling hills and lush forests, with sweet water, joyful mares, energetic foals, songbirds in the trees and elves dancing in the rain. The song turned dark as winter came and chased all the animals into the warm cabins of the elves with fires, and chestnuts and sleeping rabbits. Indifferent and content to enjoy the company of his companions he swished his tail and tore up grass for another mouthful.
