Nathan looks at the springs with awe, "Jessa comes here every visit?"

Sorsha nods, "Yeah, she doesn't like going home without cleaning up first. The water is naturally warm. Go ahead and bathe, I'll wait for you right over there. When you are ready to get out, just give a yell."

Nathan smiles slightly, he doesn't take another minute to get out of his clothes and dive into the water. He takes out the soap and not only washes himself but the clothes he just took off. He figures that he might as well since the water is there and he's sure that they will have time to dry by morning. At least by the time they will be leaving, he hopes to see the sparring in the morning.

Even taking the time to wash his clothes he's still out in a short amount of time. Gaining Sorsha's attention Nathan is soon joined by her. "Come this way, and tell me if you still hear the music."

Nathan follows along stumbling down the path as Sorsha leads the way. Once he gets to the clearing he sucks in a breath of wonder. The moon is shining down and patches of moon flowers open to the sky, glowing and making the clearing bright enough, with the help of the moon, for him to see clearly.

The music he'd been hearing off and on since the moon rose becomes very clear. He feels the desire to dance take root. "I don't understand, Sorsha, where is the music coming from and why do I feel the desire to dance?"

"That is the music of Lady Zira, our goddess. Although this clearing isn't sacred, for some reason she seems to favor it. The music you hear, only a few hear it. I believe that Jessa, and the prince heard and danced to it the last celebration. I know that General Brightblade and High priestess Sorid hear it every time.

"Don't fight the music, if you are favored of our Lady then you should honor her by dancing to the music she is letting you hear." Sorsha tells the astounded human before her. She is more than a little jealous that a human hears the music and she doesn't, but that doesn't stop her from watching the human as he dances the dance he'd never seen before perfectly.

Sorsha watches as he moves and is very impressed at how easily he does the dance. She watches entranced and finds herself joining in the dance, not hearing the music, just following his steps. He changes the dance from the solo to the one of partners without missing a beat.

Like Jessa and the prince they hold the other's eyes as they move together.

The music and dance ends.

Nathan isn't sure if he should say anything. Before he has a chance, Sorsha kisses him. "You know enough about our celebrations to guess how this finishes. Are you willing to have me as your partner? If you don't wish to then we can return to the caravan."

Nathan pulls her closer to him and gives her a kiss.

"Jessa, are you finished?" Dhiren asks as he sits back.

"Yeah, I think so. I doubt I'll be able to eat another bite." Jessa actually fills overly full since she hasn't eaten much the last few days.

"Are you tired? If not I would love it if you would be my partner for a dance." Dhiren doesn't want to make her feel pressured, but the music of the moon has been growing louder. He's not sure how much longer he'll be able to stay out in the moonlight without dancing.

"I would love to dance with you, Dhiren." Jessa tells him and accepts his hand that he holds out to her.

They had found the proper celebration clothing waiting for them after their bath. Jessa was thrilled at finding her wrap that she thought forever lost there. A matching spidersilk wrap for the male was waiting for Dhiren. They laughed as they realized that Lady Zira was messing with things again. She must have really wanted them to dance that night.

The two start dancing and are soon lost to the music and each other's eyes.

Jessa had left on the moonstone jewels at Dhiren's urging. He thought it would be lovely to see her dancing with the light of the moon glowing off of her, and he'd been right. Jessa had an ethereal glow as she danced and he was even more strongly attracted to her than he'd ever been before.

"Jessa, tell me now if you wish for me to leave," Dhiren manages to get out at the end of the dance. He doesn't dare kiss her or he'll be taking her to that bed and spending a pleasure filled night with her.

"I don't want you to leave, Dhiren. I would like for you to stay the night with me." Jessa manages to say but then looks down blushing brilliantly at how forward she sounds.

"Jessa, nothing would please me more than to stay. Are you sure that it is what you want me to do?" Dhiren asks anxiously. He wants to stay with her, but only if she is ready. So much has happened in such a short time span he's afraid that she's feeling pressured to be with him. He knows that Zira wants them to be together or she wouldn't have left the wraps for them to use.

Jessa blushes an even deeper red but nods as she looks at him. "No need to be embarrassed, Jessa. I will be more than happy to stay the night. I just need to know if you want me to just hold you or if you would like to finish up properly?"

"Are you going to make me say it?"

Dhiren smiles gently, "Jessa, look at me." Jessa looks up, "You don't have to say it if you don't want to, I just want to make sure that you are sure that you won't regret it later."

Dhiren leans down and gives her a kiss. It doesn't take long for things to heat up. Dhiren lifts her up and carries her back inside. He makes sure that she is well pleasured as he introduces her to physical love.

Jessa, for the first time in her memory, finds herself reluctant to get up. Then she remembers that she has a caravan to get back to. She feels rather bad for leaving Sorsha to take care of things all night, especially since Sorsha seems to dislike her at the moment.

She also feels bad since Nathan went through Silva once more without seeing much of it. She's afraid that with things like they are, they may not get another chance to see Silva together.

That's enough to wake her up and get her moving. She leans over and gives Dhiren a kiss, "If you plan on going with me, you better get up now. Otherwise I guess we'll be foregoing the sparring match and just heading out."

It takes a few seconds for Jessa's words to make it through his sleep befuddled senses but when it does, Dhiren jumps up and starts getting dressed. "Don't leave with out me, Jessa. I just need to run to my room to change and grab my bag."

Jessa stops him with a kiss, "Then you better hurry."

Dhiren looks at her, "I don't know if I like waking up next to you like that more or the night we had better. I'll have breakfast-"

"You said that you will have breakfast sent out to the caravan, we can eat there."

"You're a slave driver, Jessa Brightblade," Dhiren teases her before stealing one last kiss and leaving the room.

Jessa smiles dreamily as she gets dressed and finds her clothes cleaned and ready to wear. She is worried that she can't find the jewels that she was wearing the night before. She is still looking for them frantically when Dhiren returns.

"What's wrong, Jessa?" Dhiren asks as he sees her looking everywhere and creating quite a mess of the room.

"I can't find the jewels you gave me yesterday."

Dhiren goes to her and stands her up and holds her close. "I sent them to my safe so that they would be taken care of while we are away."

Jessa sags in relief. She doesn't know for sure how expensive the jewels are, but she does know that they weren't cheap.

With that settled Jessa has Dhiren lead the way out of the palace. From there she sets the ground eating pace back to the caravan. "You aren't taking your mount for when you are done with your business in Castlerock?"

"I ordered him to go with the rest of my guard. He should be waiting for me at the caravan with them."

With that the two move quietly through the woods. They make it back to the caravan and Jessa looks it over in confusion. "Tomas, where's Sorsha and Nathan?"

Jessa wants to know what the hell Tomas is doing with the caravan.

"Sorsha took Nathan somewhere in Silva and asked that I stay with the caravan until you returned." Tomas replies rapidly. He has no desire to have an upset Jessa on his case.

"Sorsha took Nathan into Silva?" Jessa asks more than a little disbelief in her voice.

"Yes, at least that was the direction they were heading when I lost sight of them."

Jessa looks once more towards Silva and sees Sorsha and Nathan coming out of the forest. Nathan looks more than a little sheepish.

Jessa merely raises an eyebrow and waits to see if he wishes to explain or not. "I heard music and Sorsha showed me the spring that you bathe in and then the clearing you go to afterwards. There the music became so overwhelming that I started dancing and well..." Nathan blushes a bit as he rubs the back of his neck.

"I was his partner." Sorsha says bluntly. "Will we be having the sparring matches this morning or will we be foregoing them today?"

The rest of the guards come and one hands Sorsha her traveling bag and takes her horse over to where the others are picketed.

"We'll have breakfast first." Dhiren says and looks around to make sure that there wasn't any problems.

"Tomas, was there any problems last night?" Jessa demands of the nervous elf before her.

"No, Jessa, everything was quiet. Prince Dhiren, I have today off, may I stay to watch the sparring? I've heard from the others that it isn't something to miss."

Dhiren looks to Jessa and she shrugs, "As long as it's your free day, it's not a problem."

Dhiren looks more than a little amused as the young elf's eyes light up in delight. He rather feels the same. Between waking with Jessa by his side and soon he will be sparring with her. He just hopes that he will be able to do a decent showing. He hasn't been sleeping well because of the breakup and last night was the most sleep he's had in some time.

Jessa just smiles and turns to face the elves bringing the food for breakfast. Shortly the other guards wake up and join them.
