unexpected visitors (closed)

[Caipra]

(the second day, in the morning)

Caipra was tired this morning. She didn't sleep well this night. Something preoccupied her since yesterday. She felt that a person with very powerful powers was getting closer to Basra. But she did not know neither about who was that person, nor if this magic constituted a threat or not.
Caipra opened the window to light the inside of her house. This is at this moment that she saw, in the distance, in the port, a boat which she knew well, even if she had not seen it for more than a year...the Nomad!
"Then Sinbad and his friends finally decided to come to visit me!"She said to herself, smiling. "But, it's strange, it is not the magic of Maeve that I have felt. I would have acknowledged it between all. Then who could definitely be that mysterious person?"

[Sinbad]

It was around noon when the crew made their way to Caipra´s house, about an hour after she had spotted the ship on the shore. Dermott´s scouting had held them up a little, but Sinbad would rather have things secure after a warning like the one the day before than just rush off, therefore Dermott flying off once they had arrived had been to the captain´s liking.

The house looked just like he remembered it, in good sight of the city and port that made Sinbad wonder whether Caipra knew of their visit already. "Okay so here we are." he said with a glance across the street that was already busy with traders, merchants and normal folk. He raised a hand to knock.

[alex]

Bryn had let Dermott lead the way. She was still a little iritated by his earlier disappearance, but she shrugged it off. After all, there was other things on her mind. She was so excited to finally meet Caipra, but she had tried to not ask too many questions along the way. However, she could not resist asking Firouz about the sorceress. She had asked some basic questions, which Sinbad nor Dermott had already answered. The scientist was glad to answer her questions. But now since they were finally there, she could ask the sorceress herself.

[Rongar]

Rongar grinned as his listened to Bryn excitedly ask questions to Firouz.

She was really excited to visit Caipra. He couldn't blame her.

Caipra's powers of 'knowing' just might be able to give Bryn an insight into WHO she had been before she lost heer memory.

He eagerly waited for the door Sinbad had just knocked on to swing open.

[Caipra]

Caipra was so tired that she fell asleep on her chair.
But something awoke her suddenly. The magic she had felt earlier in the morning was near.
She approached the window and saw Dermott, Maeve's hawk, flying in her direction.
Caipra smiled. "Here they are finally"
Few moments later, someone knocked on the door.
Caipra remained at the window and opened the door with a slight head movement.
"it's been so long! I thought you had forgotten me," she said while the door opened itself slowly, to the crew of the Nomad.

[Doubar]

"Caipra!", Doubar exclaimed happily as the door finally opened. He hadn't exactly been talkative during their way to her house - had only listened randomly to Bryn questioning Firouz about the sorceress or walking besides his little brother and enjoying the athmosphere of the busy city. But now, as the first one out of the crew, he stepped forward, greeting her with open arms and pulling her in a careful hug. "It's so good to see you."

[alex]

Bryn smiled at Caipra as she held Dermott. He had again perched on her arm as they arrived at the house. Bryn, however, was hesitant to enter the sorceress' house.

[Sinbad]

Sinbad entered the house just after his older brother. "Forgotten you?" he chuckled, his smile spreading into a broad grin for a short moment. "How could we?"

[Caipra]

Caipra took Doubar in her arms. She was greatful that he acted carefuly with her.
"Doubar! I'm happy to see you too my dear friend."
She was really happy to see the big brother of the crew!
"You look good!" she added, giving a little tape on Doubar's belly.

Then she took Rongar on her arms as he approached her.
"Hi Rongar! I hope you kept an eye on them all this time!"

Caipra went to Firouz and hugged him too.
"You will have to show me your latest inventions, little scientist."

Then she faced Sinbad, always smiling.
"And here's the captain! I was happy to see the Nomad on the port this morning! I knew you would come to visit me! Come here my dear!"
She took Sinbad in her arms, like a mother hugging her son she hadn't seen for years.

When she opened her eyes she suddenly stopped moving...

The sorceress saw her...waiting at the door, hesitant.
So this unknown magic she felt since this morning came from her...Bryn...
Caipra reacted before somebody could noticed her surprise and said quietly

"Why won't you come join us Bryn?"

[Rongar]

Rongar accepted the hug and grin at the elder sorceress' words in acceptance, but did nothing else as he waited for her to speak.

[alex]

Bryn gulped, took a deep breath, smiled, and nodded. Slowly she entered with Dermott still perched on her arm. Her heart was pounding. Could it be. The time has finally come. She was both dancing with joy but scared how the sorceress would react to her. But what puzzled her most at this very moment was, 'how did she know her name?' They had never met before. Once she was in Caipra's house, she calmly asked, "How do you know my name?"

[Caipra]

Caipra watched Bryn coming into the room!
She didn't change since the last time Caipra saw her. The sorceress remembered that day the little witch disappeared without any explanation.She remembered that her beloved husband Dim-Dim was very worried about her.
Who knows what happened to her over the last years?
Bryn' question gave her an answer.

"How do you know my name?"

So she didn't recognized Caipra. Did she lost her memory again?
The sorceress decided to wait before telling her things...too many things.

"Well. I know a lot of things! Just ask Sinbad."

Caipra looked at Sinbad,smiling. Did he have any idea of Bryn's real identity?

"Besides, I can't ignore when a very powerful witch come to the city where I live!"

[alex]

Bryn raised her eyebrow. And she knew that she was a witch. But a powerful one. Me. No, she must be mistaken. "What do you mean I am a powerful witch?"

[Sinbad]

After receiving a hug from Caipra, Sinbad had moved aside and over to one of the windows where he was now leaning with his back against the window sill and his arms lightly crossed over his chest. He gave a slight scowl at the exchange between the two women, his eyes seeking eye contact with the crew. He had not expected Caipra to know Bryn. Magic was strange, he thought.

[Doubar]

Noticing his brother's gaze, Doubar shrugged slightly at the younger one. He was fairly sure to know what the other man had been thinking about when watching his crew and the first mate definitely felt the same. Never had he expected Caipra to know Bryn. But then again, he mused, was she a very powerfull sorceress. And there were too many things between earth and sky that magic obviously had an influence on - he thought - so why shouldn't she know. Slowly then he moved to let his left arm rest on the edge of some cabinet that was standing close to the door. He would wait and see what else might be revealed.
