[glow=red,2,300]Half a day's flight from Haven[/glow]
_{[glow=red,2,300](Amberhart and Vekia)[/glow]}


It had been a long journey and while they could have pushed on and made Haven it would have been well after dark when the got there. Besides that both of them were tired and slightly disheveled from the trip and didn't want to present themselves until they considered themselves to be presentable, and that went double for Vekia.

So finding a good spot by the river the landed and set up camp. That done it was time for some serious grooming. Her harness removed and neating stacked out of the way Vekia gave a loud shout and launching herself high into the air proceeded to plunge into the water, completely drenching Amberhart.

Dripping wet and laughing, "Watch where you splashing you sill gyrphon." Plucking disgustedly at his thoroughly soaked clothes he quickly shucked them and set them far out of the range of Vekia's vigorous splashing to dry.

Pausing in her splashing to look over she laughed, "Next time maybe you sshould be a bit quickerrr to get out of yourr clothing, peacock."

Affecting indignation,"Peacock! That from someone who insists on getting down up in full formal gear and being dyed, and jeweled to the enth degree before we go into Haven tomorrow!?"

Striking a regal pose, or as much of one as she could manage with her feathers completely sodden, "I wissh to make a good impresssion on our hostss and alliess."

Having made it to the river he dove in and swam over to assist in Vekia's washing. Working in the special shampoo for her feathers, "You wish to show off and make everyone stare at you you vain bird."

Glancing back over her shoulder, "That's what I just said Amberrrharrt."

Laughing and splashing water at her he returned to what he was doing. He didn't have to be told that Vekia wanted to be all done up because she was nervous as anything and he couldn't blame her. He intended to be everybit as colourful as the gryphon when they arrived at Haven.

Much splashing and many hours later, they reclined on the river bank clean and almost dry. Amberhart glanced at the sky and was mildly surprised to see it was almost sunset. Levering himself up off the ground, "We'd better start getting settled for the night."

"Rrrrr,"she glanced over out of one partically closed eye looking for all the world like a gryphon rug," you arrre rright. And I ssshould sset up the warrdss now ass well." Streching and giving one last shake to settle her feathers she got up and began doing just that. It didn't take very long before she'd completely secured the camp.

Earlier they'd gone hunting and had come back with a good sized buck. Amberhart had cut off enough for himself and left the rest for Vekia. So, the work of camp finished they both set about eating the evening meal. Amberhart cooking his first while Vekia just ripped it right off the bone. Most people would have been rather nausated by watching the gryphon eat but he was well used to it by now and barely noticed the mess. To give her credit she was trying to be neat with her eating and so didn't make as big a mess as usual.

Dinner was soon over and they both found comfortable spots to sleep and bunked down to spend the night.
