Trinale was enjoying herself. It was kind off nice to be tretaed as just 
a young lady, not "THE Warrenlady" for even just a little while.

The area was beautiful. It had been a long time since Trinale had been 
able to get away from warren business and just have some fun and laughter.

(Cricket?)

(Hmph! You left me behind!)

(Here is a picture. Come join us. I don't believe Reekor or Pa'gan met 
any slight. I think Pa'gan was just excited about surprising me)

At those words, Cricket appeared above them and then landed. Trinale 
laughed softly and whispered quietly to Pa'gan "I don't believe she liked 
being left behind. Maybe Reekor can convince her it wasn't a slight to her."

Trinale took another sip of the liquid in the cup. "This is very good, 
very sweet. What else do we have?"

Pa'gan unwrapped the packages to show cold chicken, strawberries, grapes, 
bread, and cheese.

Trinale suddenly realized how hungry she was. She dug in. Her mouth 
stuffed with a handful of grapes she looked up at Pa'gan and giggled. "I 
hope you don't mind. I am starving!"

Pa'gan laughed also, a deep full bodied laugh. "No, of course not! I am 
glad you are enjoying yourself." He himself reached for some of the 
chicken. "I see Cricket has calmed down" as he nodded towards the two 
dragons curled up near each other.

Trinale nodded. "Now, you said you have some questions about the warren 
and customs?"

Pa'gan nodded. "I have been roaming most of my life and I now need to 
learn your customs if I am going to stay here."

Trinale continued to eat as she talked. She looked at Pa'gan and he 
looked genuinelt interested. "Well, I told you before that we are sworn 
to protect the nations that tithe to us from Wraiths and wild dragon 
attacks. Those who are members of the warren are provided food, shelter, 
and basic clothing for their services, whether they be that od 
dragonrider, cook, cleaner, babysitter, or whatever. Anything special is 
bartered or paid for."

Pa'gan nodded. "Everyone has been very accomadating and friendly to me so 
far"

"Well I hope so!" Trinale exclaimed. "I like to think we are a very open 
welcoming, warren."

Pa'gan laughed again. "You are. Although a number of people do seem 
startled by my heighth"

Trinale laughed. "Well, you have to admit its impressive!"

Trinale stretched outon her back. "This is so wonderful, just being able 
to get away." She then turned on her side and looked up at Pa'gan. "Well, 
what other questions did you have for me?"
