[Xylian warren, afternoon on the same day Billy went swimming]

Tiera was crossing the warren green on her way back from visiting one of   
the warrens dragon rider. She was in a happy mood and was whistling a   
merry tune under her breath.

Sitting in a quiet secluded corner, Tiera saw Sarilyn sitting next to her   
dragon looking fed up and miserable.
"Hey Sarilyn!" called Tiera joyfully waving at Sarilyn. Sarilyn looked up   
and half heartedly waved back.

Tiera started to walk on but paused after a couple of steps concerned for   
Sarilyn. After all the poor girl had been through a lot recently, and   
probably still felt quite isolated in the warren.

"Hi ya Sarilyn, you OK?" asked Tiera as she sat down next to Sarilyn.
"Who me?" asked Sarilyn attempting to smile "Yeah I'm ok."
"It's just that you didn't look too happy. If you want to talk to anyone,   
about anything, I'm a good listener." offered Tiera feeling sorry for the   
young lady sitting next to her.

Billy and Chai had found their way back to the warren with M'tok and his   
dragon both the boys were still slightly damp and with the cold breeze   
were starting to feel cold.

Billy had started to feel uncomfortable and was looking forward to when   
he could leave M'tok and find Sarilyn.

<Chai do you know where Lunath is?>
<Of course I do my little cherub.> answered Chai lovingly as she   
playfully knocked Billy. <Lunath wants to know when we're going on our   
little trip.>

<Well when H'lie gets round to teaching us, well you actually, to   
teleport. It should be soon. Anyway I'm peckish, do you want anything?>   
asked Billy. Chai didn't reply, but Billy could feel the hunger that   
Chai'lynn was feeling.

"Hey M'tok I'm going to grab something to eat, do you want to come along   
too?" asked Billy.
"No it's ok Billy I've got to catch up on some of that reading that H'lie   
gave us."
"Oh, alright then." said Billy.

<It's no use ignoring it, you're going to have to read the book at some   
point!> nagged Chai. <If we go into combat, I want you to know what   
you're supposed to do!>
<Yeah yeah. Sarilyn said she'll help me so when we find her then I can   
start to read the book.> said Billy as they approached the main part of   
the warren.

<Lunath says that Sarilyn is busy, but wants to meet up later.> said   
Chai.
<Ok then how about this evening?>
<Lunath says that's fine. Now weren't we going to get some food?> asked   
Chai.

Together they found some food and munched away quietly together.
<Shall we go away tomorrow, to someplace like Eos?>
<Where's that?>
<Oh it's a big city, the capital I think if we can't find something   
interesting to do there then we're doomed for a life of dullness and   
boredom! Hey we could see if Ilara and Iralyn feel like coming with us.>
<Numskull!>
<What?>
<Well Sarilyn might like some time *alone*.>
<Yeah sure, we can go with the other *but* we don't have to *stay* with   
the other do we?>

<Lets go and find H'lie and see if we can prize out of him how to   
teleport - or at least get him to show us tomorrow in class!> said Billy   
getting up to go and look for H'lie.

Together the wander almost aimlessly round the warren.
<Hey who's that?> asked Billy
<Who?>
<Him over there.>
<Oh him, no idea. Why don't you go and ask him peas brain?>
<Who are you called pea brain, numskull?>

"Hi!" said Billy waving at Malic who was at the other end of the   
corridor. "You look lost do you need some help?" offered Billy.
"Well I'm looking for H'lie...." started Malic.
"My names Billy, what's yours?" asked Billy holding his hand out for   
Malic. "I'm looking for H'lie too, Chai says he'd just come out of a   
meeting with Rhia." said Billy as he started to lead Malic towards Rhia's   
chambers.

Humbly submitted,

Erm, I seem to have mislaid Malics BIO anyone got a copy? *a really huge   
sheepish grin, with red embarrassed cheeks*

Oh and Lisa will Iralyn and M'tok be up for a trip into town - when it   
happens?
