Lady Trent - Back again

[dragon_naturalist]

 It has been more than ten years since Isabella has found Milliways, at least for her, and many of those years have been dark ones, or perhaps bleak, for her. You may not recognize this straight away considering she is now an adult when last she was here, she was a child.

Frozen a few steps past the front door, she muses, in a half whisper, "I thought I had dreamt this place."

She can't help wondering if the talking dragon she remembers is here as well or if she dreamt Miss Kreyu as well. She should likely get her bearings first, before finding the answer to that question.

"It must have been a very long time", Gavroche says amiably from the end of the Bar.

He isn't associating this woman with the little girl he met, and it's an open question if she'll remember his face.

"That is most certain," the lady agrees with a smile. She does a double take when she spots the speaker however casual her words. "I beg your pardon but are you Master Gavroche?" She asks, wonder clear in her tone.

"I am." He studies her more carefully, trying to work it out. "I'm sorry, I - think maybe the bar is playing tricks with time again, I'm not sure who you are."

She laughs and offers her hand, in so forward a manner her mother would surely have frowned to have witnessed it. "I would be most surprised if you had; I haven't been here since I was a child. Isabella Camherst, though I was a Isabella Hendemore when I was here before. I believe we met a dragon out back?"

"We did!" he confirms, grinning and shaking her hand. "Nice to meet you again, Lady Isabella - it hasn't been very long at all here, but you must have guessed that."

"I had," she confirms with a distracted sigh. "It's rather disorientating. To be honest, I had wondered for a moment there if you weren't aelfin or some such."

"Just another mortal, I promise. Will you take something to eat or drink, since you're here again?"
