Poem
“They are in the cabin of the Sleigh.” The Elder Elf motioned to Rådyrvokter to join them. He stopped unharnessing the deer and stepped over to Dyndoeth. In a whispered tone he requested that the Stable Elf find some help and very respectfully remove the death boxes from the sled and store them temporarily in the stable until they had a chance to consult the counsel. “Of course,” he replied, then to Joulupukki, “My sincere condolences.” “Thank you, Rådyrvokter.” “Now, lets go inside,” Dyndoeth prodded his guests, while still holding Jessica's hand, “Ceridfen has some broth heating for you.” “That sounds wonderful. I don't know why but I get so hungry when I'm flying in the sleigh. Don't you Bréagán?” She asked the elf as she glanced over her shoulder. “Yes, indeed I do,” he responded. “Something to look into I should say.” Jessica found it quite stimulating speaking to Dyndoeth as they entered the cottage, and their conversation continued long after the additional introductions to DynDoeth's wife and Lumi's female friend, only to be interrupted by Jessica's intense scrutiny of the young female Elf. “Forgive me, Chroí, but I can't seem to take my eyes from you. Please do not be offended.” “No, I seem to be in the same situation. I have never seen a human female before. If all humans look like you and Joulupukki than you are part of an extraordinary race, tall, physically strong and, so, beautiful.” “Thank you. I sit here admiring you and Lumi, slim and graceful, with those incredible eyes, and your delicate features. If you sat completely still I would think you were a beautiful doll that some master toy maker created. It took some effort to pull her eyes from the elf, “forgive me.” She said again. “Wait until you get to know her,” the half elf began. “You may find she is not as delicate as you think.” Chroi smiled. “She is currently recovering from some very intense magic that she helped Gwaldon and his novices conjure that made it possible to find my father.” Jessica looked impressed. “And this guy,” Chroi indicated Lumi by leaning against him and looking into his eyes with a smile, “he often amazes, as well as humors, me with his 'grace'.” Lumi blushed. Jessica leaned toward Ceridfen and spoke to her in a subdued voice, “Wow, I don't think I have ever seen a couple who were more suited for one another.” With a huge grin on her face Ceridfen agreed with her, “I agree. I would say perfect, except, maybe you and Joulupukki?” Jessica blushed. “I have known you for less than the rising of one moon, but I see the way you look at each other, your gentle touches, the stolen kisses when you think no one is watching. You are obviously in love with him and whats more, he loves you just as much. I haven't seen such since Aisling and Erlenkönig, now that was a couple.” A tear came to her eye at the memory. She wiped it away. “Speaking of Gwaldon, is he here,” Bréagán asked completely out of the blue? “I'm sorry, Bréagán, but when Joulupukki mentioned bringing you back to the Village, Gwaldon wanted your cottage to be perfect, so he asked a few elves from the town if they would help him clean and repair it. There were no shortage of volunteers there yesterday. He stopped by before the sun went down and said it would be another day before they were finished. You can spend the night here and, after the counsel agrees to it, you will be sleeping in your own bed tomorrow. It was, by now, getting late in the day, the sun having set long before, when Jessica and Chroi accompanied Ceridfen into the food preparation area to start the evening meal. After eating they sat and talked until the moon was resting on Oden's shoulder and the tiny night lights began to blink out. Jessica was especially impressed by the number of young elves that lived in their cottage. She told Ceridfen that she would like children one day, getting a clearing of Joulupukki's throat. Everyone eventually retired to their rooms to sleep except Joulupukki and Jessica. They took a walk in the cool air and looked at the stars, discussing their future. They were surprised by Lumi when he appeared from the Stable.
