Around the campfire

Mara would turn and go find Tae.

Thank you Nathaniel Takes off looking madder than a wet hen.

*Nathaniel hurries after to "show the way".*

*Arya watches Mara storm off,shaking her head as she turns to look at Celovar*

"See how mad Mara is? Remember that because if you ever did that to me you would have more then a deer taking your place in the bed to worry about. Which by the way...Mister Deer is not trying to see me naked my moon. He has seen me naked plenty of times and does not care. He is just an animal."

*she giggles as she squeezes his hand and kisses his cheek. She gives him a special smile then looks over to Evan with a warm smile*

"Thank you very much. It has been quite a trial already in these first few months but Celovar has kept us safe."

"You better not replace me with more then 'mister deer in a few weeks. If I didnt show back up to you, there would of been a good reason for it."

As she mentions the deer has seen her naked he shoots 'Mister deer a cold glance'.

Celovar then says something that is more of a grumble and barley audible. He would then return his attention to anyone near the fire.

*Evan chuckles a little but leave leaving the couple a semblance of privacy by the fire*

*glances around the area with something obviously weighing on her mind. She rubs her belly softly before looking to Celovar and raises her chin*

"Celovar, I will be taking a short trip to Shadowdale"

*she says as a statement rather then a question*

"You do not need to go to Shadowdale. We discussed this.

"I do not need to do anything but I still wish to go. I have not seen the farmers in quite some time and I have a bit of coin that I can offer the homeless. Not to mention I am sure Pathea has had her child by now. I would like to visit her and Zaburra."

"Do it after you have your child, I'm not risking that. If you want to meet up with them we can do it outside of Shadowdale and I will go."

"I do not see how it is a risk. I have been given permission and have been there many times. Yes, we can meet outside of Shadowdale but I still wish to check on the farmers."

"It is a risk because of the number of people that want to kill me. I don't like taking chances when you are this far along. The farmers can wait."

*rubs her temples with a heavy sigh*

"They wanted to kill you before and I was safe. I know that I am heavy with child but I still have duties to see to. Just like you have your own. You know that I care for those people and I wish to help them in whatever way that I can. Right now they only see the evil workings of the Banites. I want them see to see the good of the Light. I can not reach them and help them if I am here all the time."

"I dont care. I wouldnt be doing my dutys if I ws with child either. Thank the gods I was born a male. The farmers will wait, they will be kept alive to plow the fields. Besides, do you remember what happened last time? Not exactly something I am looking to repeat, you said you would not go back to Shadowdale."

Mara would walk to the campfire.

Well hello you two. I trust you are doing well? How is the pregnancy coming? You should be getting close to delivery soon shouldn't you? I do hope you will still allow me to deliver the child now that I have returned.

She would smile to both of them.

*blinks a few times with her mouth held open staring at Celovar in astonishment*

"Be kept alive to plow the fields?! Well, how gracious of you! Honestly Celovar! Sometimes I believe you have no heart. As for last time I was fine. I was more upset at the thought of someone thinking I stole from them"

*she huffs turning to see Mara. Her frown is quickly replaced by a bright smile as she struggles a bit to stand. Holding her belly she walks quickly to Mara giggling as she pulls her into an excited embrace*

"It is so good to see you Mara! Yes, it is getting close to time. Thank goodness for that. My son has a temper that matches his fathers already. He is anxious to join us and my ribs have been taking the brunt of it. Iamglad you are back because I can think of no other I would rather have to deliver him"

She would raise her eye brows a bit. Embraces her as well

Small lovers quarrel? Now now Celovar you know you shouldn't speak to a pregnant woman like that. She would chuckle I'm glad to be back, I missed it too much I suppose.

"Nice to see you Mara, just telling Arya that she does not need to be pregnant in Shadowdale. Im sure Zhentarim would not like me to have a child. They know how I will raise him and what he will do when he is of age."

He so stubbornerly adds

"Where did you go?"

Valtore joins the group with a nod then starts to set up a tea kettle "Evening, nice ta see friendly faces fur a change. I guess tha rumors be true of ye return Mara. Nice ta have ye back."

Mara would scowl at Arya. I was called back to the Citadel to be the High Priestess. I chose to come back. You do realize that if they discover that's his child they will either kill it or you or both.

She would have a terribly worried look to her face.

*shoots a scowl of her own to Celovar*

"I just wanted to check on the farmers. It is not like I would be approaching the guards saying...Greetings Mister Zhentarim! Did you know the reason I am heavy with child is because Celovar is going to be a father?"

*she sighs before looking to Mara*

"I am glad to see that you are back, Mara. That is quite an honor that you have passed up to be here. Is there any way that you can perform the duties here?"

* she walks over and slowly lowers herself on a bench next to Valtore beaming at him*

"I am very happy to see you Valtore. How have you been?"

*she glances around at them all with a slightly worried look*

"By the way, have any of you seen my family? I have not seen Harunobu or Drake in so very long. It is starting to worry me."

She would nod a few times

Yea the rumors are true. And I will be doing my duties here as well as I can. From what I have heard from my informants is that they now have some pretty cruel Zhents now and have no problem in torturing an elf just for being an elf. I'm sure you would prefer to keep your child safe than to risk something happening to the baby. I don't believe I can bring back a fetus my dear.

She has a worried look to her face.

Looking at the gather Nadin would join them while passing the area with his sword draw. He sheats the blade and take a sit.

- Good to see so many friends gathered. I'm glad you returned Mara, and this is a big belly Arya, passed Alfie *smirks*.

*she sighs letting out a long deep breath before nodding and giving Celovar an apologetic look*

"Forgive me my moon. I am just feeling a bit useless right now. I will not go until after our son is born."

*she stands and walks over to Celovar taking a seat close to him and rests her head on his shoulder. She smiles brightly at Nadin rubbing her belly lovingly with a small giggle*

"It certainly is Nadin. I feel about ready to pop! It will not be to terribly much longer now."

*she gazes into Celovar's eyes as she presses a kiss on his hand hoping he is not upset with her*

Celovar would roll his eyes when she apologizes and kiss her back, knowing he would be able to stop her from going with the use of his logic.

"Nice to see a group of people like this around the fire. Are you back for long Mara? I saw Kasen not to long ago in the gnoll caves. I showed him a few things and he decided to take up a better fighting stance."

She would smile.

Well I will be permanently. I'm not leaving. I found someone to take my place at the Citadel. I have too much work here to go back. Tae seemed rather happy to see me she would chuckle. I have visited the orphanage to check on the children and been doing some patrols.
