((This is so that we can all travel here quickly without the excuse that we don't have a thread yet. Ellen, you might want to play Garace and Eddy's parents here, fretting and the like, just to set the scene.))

Mary of Oceanspeak was doing her needlepoint when she noticed a letter sitting on the foyer. It was address to her and her husband, Aaron of Oceanspeak. It read:
Mother and Father,
Hello, I hope you are doing well. Grace and I would like to visit you before Midwinter. I apoligize if we may have scared you and I understand you may want and explanation. And you will recieve one when we arrive. Please expect us soon.
You son,
Edward
"Thank goodness!" Mary exlaimed, "Aaron! Aaron! Gracie and Edward are coming home!"
Aaron of Oceanspeak came out of his study, "Eh?" He said, "then I will be expecting a decent explanation for what they have been up to!"

Adara, Khris, Grace, and Eddy all arrived at Oceanspeak. Adara's jaw dropped, "How many people live here? she asked" Even though she looked like a wealthy merchant's daughter in her dark blue riding skirts, she had never seen a Noble's land before. They all road into the gates, Khris noticed at servant run toward the main house to alert the owners of this land. Grace jumped off her horse, and ran to pet a cat. "Oh you pretty little thing, I have missed you, the only have Meany cats in the city are stupid ugly rat catchers! Your so cute! Yes you are! Yes you are! Oh-buh-buh-buh!" She scratched the cat's belly not caring that everyone was staring at her. Adara grinned, but Khris groaned, "May we PLEASE continue now?" Eddy said apologetically,"Just leave her here, she will catch up with us....," He trailed off as he saw his enraged father coming towards him put on a cheesy grin and said, "Hello father!" Grace got off the ground, dusted off her skirts and threw herself into her father's arms. Her father pushed her back. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?!?!" Grace looked up startled, "I thought you wanted me back? I'll leave now, if you want me to that is..." At that moment the matriarch of the family walked out and said, "OF COURSE we want you to stay. In fact your father and I decided that you must stay through Midwinter...or longer!" Grace stared at her mother. "No Mummykins! ((this is et)) We hafta go to the Capital for Midwinter! Wulf and Liz and" She blushed, "Aindreas... " Her Mother looked startled, "Aindreas- HAFTA.... You are definitely staying until after Midwinter!" Adara stepped forward," I apologize sincerely for failing to introduce myself. MY name is Adara, and I have been staying and watching over Grace. It would be a pleasure to be able to continue being her companion on our journeys. She will also be in good company, since we will be celebrating Midwinter at the palace. She may even be able to meet the monarchs of this realm." Grace's mother looked as if she might be considering this, but her father said a flat out,"NO" Grace burst into tears and Adara put her arm around her to prevent her from running away. "It would benefit her greatly, give her a chance to see the world. I could continue to teach her about manners and she could learn the mannerisms of other cultures, you could say she is a sort of ambassador." Grace nodded eagerly. Her father said, "Well... it would be a good experience.... I guess she can BUT only for a year. Come inside and eat. You can rest and then head off again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two days later they headed back, taking Grace's cat with them because she could not bear to part with it.
