A Lonely Birthday...

[Galvin]

Galvin Tjime sits on the shore near the farm in Tol Vanima on the 22 of Siros. He sits in the sand, moving his feet around in the sand and water, staring out at the rising sun. He looks over to his right at the small, crude table he has constructed out of some boards and logs, which obviously will not last the day. A small cake sits on top of this table, a stick in the center of the cake with some pine resign at the top burning.
He sighs and stands up, then walks over to the table. "Well, happy ninth birthday Galvin. That's three years now..." Galvin breaks down in tears as he remembers the horrible destruction of his home and the tragic ending of both his mother's and father's lives. About 10 minutes later, after he had recovered from his fit of sadness, he stands up again and blows out the stick.
He then takes a small, wooden knife and cuts a small piece out of the cake, which he quickly devours. "If only all my family were with me right now...mother, father, ...mom, dad." Galvin sighs as he says this, obviously missing both his current, adoptive parents and his biological ones. Galvin sits there the whole day, snacking on cake and staring out at the sun and occasionally looking to the forest and down the path to see if anyone is coming.

Mason walks on the shores of Yol Vanima and sees the young lad all alone in the distance. He can hear the faint sound of muffled crying that is quickly covered up once the young boy spots him. Mason smiles his perfect smile at the boy, "Hello young lad, what are you doing here all alone today?" Mason waits patiently for the boy's response.

Edited: Trollsbane was changed to Tol Vanima

[Galvin]

Galvin Tjime looks up at the man, smiling a bit. "Its my birthday today and I just like to sit and watch the sea and the sun... I used to do this back home but mother and father where there too." Tears begin to well up in the young childs eyes but he quickly wipes them away and looks back out to the sun. "I can't find my parents right now, so I just came here and did what I usually do. Here, would you like some cake?" Galvin holds up a large piece of cake on a wooden plate.

Mason Tremont looks down at the boy and smiles at him, "Well happy birthday, and yes I would love some cake." Mason sits down near the boy and eats the cake slowly while he looks at him observing him. "Well, I am Mason Tremont of the Order of Light." Mason Tremont frowns thoughtfully. "Who are your parents? They must have very important reasons for not being able to be with you on your birthday." Mason sits there chewing a piece of cake while he waits for the boy to reply.

[Galvin]

Galvin smiles at him and happily replies, "Well met, Mr. Tremont. My...well...I geuss I should say, 'current' parents are Azuros and Cyndil Tjime. They are probably with Tielumil right now, caring for him. He is still so young and can't read. I don't think he could be by himself." Galvin continues to smile and soon begins to cut two more pieces of cake, taking the largest for himself and offering the other to Mason. "Another?" As Galvin is holding out the piece of cake, he looks out to the sea again and stares out.

[Paladin of Light]

Mason smiles and accepts the offered piece of cake. "Well, I am here atleast and though I know I am not as great as your parents in your own eyes we will have a great time!" Mason gazes out in the direction Galvin looks. "It is a very beautiful sight. I am no resident of Tol Vanima but I love to come here just to think." Mason Tremont chuckles heartily, "By the way what sort of things do you like? I need to get you a gift!"
