"I always come back," he said, giving Randal a short grin.
He started out until a few key words caught his attention. The elf froze briefly, looking intensely at Eckhart, Bella, and Hildegarde. He let it a small huff. "Hildegarde, I'm going to retire for the day, and I'll see you when I return." His voice lowered slightly, so that Hildegarde would still be able to hear. "Dragons and politicians and...talking mirrors..." Alderon narrowed his eyes at the pink-clad woman. "Should be an interesting tale to hear upon my return."
Alderon quickly turned on his heel and walked out the door, closing it behind him. Meri furrowed her brows. She smiled at the others, though. A little more relaxed that the elf was out of her apartment.
Alderon practically sprinted back to his apartment, unlocking the door and closing it behind him. He walked into his bedroom, jumping slightly when he saw his sister still there. "You said you were leaving," he said.
"I changed my mind. Why do you look like you saw a ghost?"
He smirked. "Not important, Sel. If you'll excuse me, I have to finish packing. I'm leaving to see my wife and daughter tomorrow."
