Nate had been gone again for nearly three years, and as usual Samanatha wrote to him and he recieved news of his friends regularly. Though Nate had very little time to write back. Queen Beth had lifted the ban on elves not standing up for themselves and Nate, at sixteen had gone into the mist of the battle as part of his fathers battleon. Now, he was eighteen, and it was the first time since that fateful date that he was coming home. Sammy's last letter talked about Isla and Logan too much that it made his head spin, it had also come with news that Sammy had been named Beth's heir, and that the elders werent happy about it. Still, it was the reason he was home. His grandfather was an elder, and had asked to speak to his father urgently on something of late, thus Nate was brought back to Miriel for a few days with his team. He was older, stronger and alot taller. His eyes were still soft, but there was a harsher look to Nate now, He appeared, as he had so often, in the coffee shop in Gaia. It was usually where his friends hung out.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case tonight. Isla was alone with a cup of tea and a book. Sam and Parker had gone to dinner with Neph and Oz but she'd opted out. Although she loved them, there was only so much she could take until she wanted to vomit. So she was alone with her English homework and that was nice enough for her for now. Sammy said they'd be here around eight thirty, for a drink after tea. Her fingers played absentmindedly amidst her newly straightened hair as she read the first part of Romeo and Juliet. Even though they were in Gaia, the Bard still trickled through. She pulled her legs up, sitting cross legged in the booth as she tried to absorb it all. Miss Freya had bought her a dress and tights, a cute pair of flats and had been responsible for the grueling process of straightening Is' hair. She was also wearing a bit of make up, making the fifteen year old look a couple years older- Good thing Cal hadn't seen.

For a moment he didn't recognise her, as she probably wouldn't recognise him. And Nate went to the counter, getting himself a bitter sweet green tea, and a little cake. Then he wandered over to where she sat, placing his stuff down silently, he leant over her to see what she was reading. "Ah fair juliet." He teased, his accent slightly italian from so long abroad. "Always with your head in fantasy."

Is' big blue eyes slowly came up and looked into his face. They took in the angles, free from any of the pudge adolecence hadn't taken when they first met, and were made more gaunt with times of war. She bit her lip before grinning, "Nate?" Launching herself from her seat she wrapped her arms around him. "Hi! When did you get back?"

He nearly fell, as she dive bombed him, landing neatly back on the sofa seat and pulling her in for a swift hug. "Literally long enough to get a drink-" he pointed at the table. "you were so wrapped up in your book you didn't hear me."

She laughed, "Some of us still have course work, Nate." Leaning back, she watched him again. "You're all grown up now. When did you leave the rest of us behind in neverland?"

He picked up his cup, leaning back in the seat and sipping it, his ankle crossed at his knee. "Some of us swapped coursework for swords." He reminded her playfully. "Neverland got too small for me, Isla. I guess I grew out of it." He sipped his drink again, before resting it on his knee. "You dont look so small anymore either."

She looked down at herself, "Well I am fifteen now, Leafy. Not so much a girl, I guess." She grabbed her own cup, "Does anyone else know you're here? I'm sure Parker and Sammy will want to see you."
