(Okay I am taking 'practically jumped out of his seat' is that he stood up)
Rowan sprung out of her seat, and hugged Alvaro tightly, "Yay!" She cheered, releasing him and stepping back, "I am so glad to have been able to help! And I am happy your people are coming back!" Hyll glanced between the two of them. She could feel the border was weak, but it was bad enough to have to evacuate? A light tremor ran down her body. Scary.

Alvaro was shocked, his eyes wide as he blinked rapidly. No one ever touched him, let alone gave him hugs. To be honest it was a nice change. "Yes, otherwise the border would've collapsed and the village would've been destroyed and I would've been dead. So thank you. So so much." Alvaro smiled, his eyes bright. He even looked better, as his health was always affected by the barrier so now that it was healthy again, he was too.

Rowan patted his shoulder before sitting down again, "Well I am really happy for you. I do suppose then that I... well, can we talk later? The food is getting cold." A poor excuse, but some things do not need to be discussed within the ears of children.

Alvaro nodded, "of course! I wouldn't want you guys to eat cold food." Alvaro smiled and sat down, picking at his fruit as he was much to excited to eat. His people were coming back!

Rowan dug into her food, keeping a careful eye on the children. Once they were done, she shooed them outside, and told them not to go far. Rowan started picking up the plates and bringing them to the kitchen area, deep in thought. She supposed once the border was finished she would have no place here, but although Neo would be able to easily come with her, Hyll had her tree planted, and it would be torturous for Nakia to try to fit into human society.

Nakia played with Neo outside, the little girl giggling softly as he poked her. Nakia was gentle with Neo as he was human and she was not. She was much deadlier than he ever would be. Alvaro helped Rowan with a smile, he was used to cleaning. As his house was always a mess by the time he returned home from his trips.

Hyll watched them from afar as she smoothed down the leaves of her ruffled tree. It would take a while for it to heal completely. "So.... once the border is complete, I'll probably have to leave, and I don't know what to do with the children," she admitted, letting loose a lungful of air.

Alvaro looked at Rowan and shook his head gently as he spoke. "Rowan, whether you leave or not is up to you. After helping me make the border, and get my people back, you'll always be welcome here. I would like it if you stayed here too. If you really want to leave, I can arrange something. I can relocate Hyll's tree with ease when my powers are at full capacity. Nakia's kind have always been adaptable. She will grow used to the human life. Neo will be fine. That of course, all depends on what you want to do. I'll always wants you to stay here but that is only one of your many options Rowan." Alvaro looked slightly pained. Why would Rowan want to stay here anyways? It wasn't like she had anything tying her here. It wasn't like Rowan actually liked weirdo Alvaro.

Rowan turned to Alvaro when he started talking, and kept her gaze steady. Slowly she started talking, "...I... I really would like to stay. It's safe, and the children have settled down. Plus, there are quite a few very nice people here to hang around."

Alvaro's smile appeared, that kind, happy smile that steadied the world for his people when they needed it the most. He never meant for his smile to todo that but apparently it did. "Then you can stay Rowan. My people will happily consider you all a part of our town." Alvaro was happy.
