Sorry to take so long but lots of rl stuff happened and I haven't had a chance to update. So here's some more, please read and review:
As the door shut behind him, Leanadas immediately turned her attention to the rest of the room. Though the furnishings were simpler than she would have liked, the room spoke of comfort and relaxation. On the shelf by the door, several large volumes of wood lore rested, their well cared for spines glimmering in the soft light. The bed took up the centre of one wall, large and covered with bedding of muted autumnal colours, the large frame dominated the room. Turning away from the bed, she stared about her, a table and three chairs sat in one corner of the room and opposite that stood a cabinet of warm wood. Curiously she opened the drawers and wrinkled her nose as a stale scent of lavender drifted free from the empty space. She shut the drawer and turned back, glancing at the door to the bath with longing. Unstrapping her boots, she padded barefoot to the door and pushed it open.
Whatever she had been expecting beyond the door, it had not been this. A large sunken bath tiled in blue ceramic lay in the centre of the floor. Someone had already filled the bath and steam drifted enticingly from the clear water. A cake of soap and several bottles sat on the side of the bath and two large robes of soft cotton hung on the back of the door which she closed and bolted. Eagerly, she divested herself of her clothing and walked forward. Several steps led from the floor of the room into the water and she gingerly placed her right foot into the warm water. Her foot hit the tiled step and a delicious warmth enveloped her. Slowly she descended into the waist deep bath, feeling the heat creep up her body before she finally reached the bottom. She lowered her body into the warm water and closed her eyes, savouring the feel of the warm water envelop her form. For a few moments she lay there, thinking of nothing but the water. Even thoughts of Kalvor and her predicament did not trouble her as she drifted in a state of bliss. It could not last however and she pulled herself upright. It would not do to tarry. Reaching for the cake of soap, she lathered herself thoroughly and descended once more into the wonderfully warm water to rinse off. As she finally cleansed the soap from her hair, she heard the outer door open and forgetting any modesty, she stood, crooking her fingers into a spell casting stance.
"Lea?" She heard Kalvor's voice from the other side of the door and sighed, relaxing slightly as she waded forward.
"Yes?"
"I found you some clothes, I'll just hand them through the door if you're ready,"
"Hang on a second," She called as with reluctance, she left the bath. Dragging a robe from the hook, she pulled it on and opened the door. Kalvor's arm reached through the gap, a small stack of clothing held in his hand.
"They may be too big, but they're the only ones I could find." She took the clothes and shut the door again.
"Thank you," She rapidly towelled herself dry before reaching for the clothes, there was a soft clatter and tortoiseshell comb dropped from the soft folds of fabric. Picking it up, she glanced at it before staring at the door, as though she could see Kalvor on the other side. Smiling a little at his thoughtfulness, she drew the teeth of the comb through her hair before finally dragging on the shirt and breeches. They were indeed too large and she cinched the excess with a belt robe before wrapping her wet hair into a towel and opening the door.
"The bath's all yours," She announced as she passed the Night Elf. "Is there any food?"
"On the table," He replied as he walked into the bathroom and shut the door.
Leanadas turned to stare at the table and was gratified to see two covered plates on it's surface. After a day and a night of magical rations, she was looking forward to real food. Removing the cover from one plate, she stared down a haunch of venison, potatoes and greens. She sat down and began to eat.
"Did you get any idea about what has happened?" She called, swallowing a mouthful of food.
"It was a dragon," His voice was muffled, but understandable and she craned her head to stare at the door.
"A dragon?" She speared a potato and waited for his answer, head whirling with questions.
"Yes, It came from the sea and caused immense devastation." She heard the water swirl as he spoke and she knew he had settled into the water. "Thalanaar has been wiped off the map," She heard the bitterness in his voice and closed her eyes, realising that the tidal waters must have swamped the Alliance settlement.
"Auberdine?" She asked, remembering his tale of his sister.
"I don't know," He answered before falling silent. Leanadas stared at her plate, her throat tightening at the forlorn note to his voice. The water splashed in the other room as he finished washing and after a few moments he left the bathroom. Wearing the other robe, his hair was damp and tousled as he took the seat opposite her and pulled the covered plate close to him. "But we need to get you free from here before anything else can happen."
