Kes and Kellen are elven traveling bards and they are returning to their hometown of Valuria after a tour. With them are Kes's boyfriend Ransom and Kellen's significant other Olivia.
They arrive at their parents house. Their parents are also elven bards who have met Ransom before but haven't met Olivia. Their father Whatchat Ethelle is hanging clothes outside. After meeting Olivia, Whatchat invites the group inside the house. Inside is Kalia Ethelle, their mother, is baking bread.
After a little talking inside, Kellen officially asks Olivia to be his girlfriend. Olivia accept. Whatchat demands they all sit down, and he speaks in elvish about his distaste for his children having relationships with the humans. Kalia says if they want a pet, they should get an animal instead. Kellen and Kes reject what their parents are saying, and they storm out. Only Olivia doesn't speak Elven, so she doesn't understand what is going on.
Kellen sits on a rock and cries. Kes comes over to comfort him. Kellen talks about Leaventh, his best friend growing up who died from Elven Sleeping Sickness only a couple dozen years ago. After a while Kalia comes out of the house and walks up to the group with a bundle of bread. She tells a story about she spent a century away from her family once after an argument. Kes says she hopes it won't take Kalia that long to get over this.
Kes starts playing her Ocarina. Olivia dances with Kellen to cheer him up. The band then decides where to go next. Olivia suggest heading to the Stoney Mussel where her ex works as a Bartender (Claude). Instead they decide to head to the Slop Troth travel in Evermond. They leave Valuria and head south.

:Even though we have seen darkness today,
:We have also seen true light.
:And we, warriors, bless your marriage in the absence of this threat.
