Eriamas slipped his legging down and picked up the pot of healing ointment from the table. The fall had caused a huge bruise on his back spreading to his legs. He winced as he prepared to apply the veldarian moss....
"Eriamas, do you know where my ...."
Leaping towards the door he tripped and fell over himself. Just for a second he wondered if he was really cut out for adventure with the clumsiness he'd exhibited over the last 48 hours.
Eliandor, his younger sister and closest in age, stepped through the door dressed in a beautiful white traditional Bentocovite dining dress.
"Eri, What are you doing sprawled out on the floor?"
"Being clumsy. Now give me a hand up I need to apply this before dinner"
Eriamas knew Eli had a gift so he'd decided a long time ago not to bother concealing his activities from her. She enjoyed the tales he returned with and he was happy in the knowledge that a little truth prevented over delving into his business.
"Eri! How did you do that?"
"That's what you get when you fall from a roof top, little one."
Eliandor laughed
Eriamas winced again as he pulled his dining suit trousers on.
"You'll have to tell me all about it after dinner. I hear father is keen to impress his new friends, so you can expect him to dig up many of his old stories."
This dinner is going to be painful in more than just the usual manner he thought as he hobbled out of the bedroom.
