Eilonway almost burst out laughing, but she restrained herself. She had never really expected anyone to ask about something like that. They'd never made up an official cover-up reason for Cambion's hair. She tried to make up one. As for Sebastian's eyes, Cambion had told her that not too long ago. "When Sebastian was very young, one of his mother's potions, some sort of fire enhancer, went ballistic. He was temporarily blinded, and when he could open his eyes again, they were orange, gradually fading to red. And as for Cambion's hair..." Her mind raced to think up an idea. Why does he have to make his hair silver anyway? she thought. "...he was just born with it. No one knows exactly why." She knew it was a stupid idea, but it was the best she could think of.

"Oh, I see," Jess said, pity shining in her eyes, "In that case, I won't ever mention it to them."

Eilonway was having trouble holding back her laughter now, but she managed to, kind of. "Well, anyway, you want me to go ahead and help you pack up your tent?" She had to change the subject before she cracked. Sebastian actually liked his eyes, for some reason. Eilonway guessed it was because he thought it made him blend in with the druidoks. Of course, she couldn't tell Jess that.

"No, I can do it," Jess said happily, "But first I need to clean this up." She pointed to the mess of dirty, used kitchenware. "If you don't mind, could you help me?"

"Sure." Eilonway set right to picking up plates and silverware. "Is there anything else you have a question about?" She started to scrub some nearby plates.

"Well..." Jess said, busily pitching in her share of the work, "There's one thing that I was told that somewhat...sets me at unease. It's..." She froze, shook her head, and continued working. "No, it's nothing. No questions at this time."

Eilonway stopped for a moment, concerned. "What is it, Jess? You can tell me."

"Oh, look!" Jess said, eagerly changing the subject to point out a blooming tree branch, "The flowers are coming out! Soon, it'll be warming up. Won't that be nice?"

Eilonway knew she just didn't want to talk about it and gave up. Maybe she would tell her later. Rumors often spreaded throughout the caravan about Cambion and his friends, though most of those were just due to boredom. Every now and then, someone overheard their conversations and they would have to stealthily "dispose" of them, but that rarely happened. Eilonway just smiled and nodded, going back to finishing up the rest of the dishes.

((ok, btw, I changed the location that the caravan is going to to Juada, so I guess I'll make up a thread in Argad, if that's ok))
