Lone Warrior-Chapter 3: Doldi (Countinued 5 Times)

Doldi pointed towards a large caravan painted bright oranges and yellows. "Oh..." Martina faltered. "You're a..."
"A GYPSY! THAT'S RIGHT! But don't tell anyone."
My friends and I exchanged glances. Whatever we were thinking wasn't very flattering for Doldi. The caravan was parked,(Is parked the right word?) in a small clearing over-flowing with pink flowers. There was a campfire just outside the caravan with three of the most unlikely people hunched around it. One of them was an old man smoking a pipe. Sitting next to him on the left was a young man of perhaps 25. On the right there was was had to be the most beautiful young lady I had ever seen. Long red hair tumbled down her shoulders and her silver eyes flashed in the sun. "Dornen!" Doldi called to the old man.
"Aye? What ya want woman?" the man rasped
"Don't ya go taking that tone with me! We got visitors Dornen, visitors!"
Dornen set his pipe down and rearranged a green woolly hat on his head. "Visitors? We ain't had visitors since the Outbreak!"
"Oh, good deduction Dornen. We got visitors, so you gotta get rid of that pipe!"
Dornen grumbled something that sounded like, "Old bag."
Doldi smacked him in the head, then turning, she greeted the young lady. "Shaharazhad! I didn't notice ya there."
Shahrazhad gracefully stood up and bowed her head. "Good to see you Doldi."
"Who are these lovely young ladies?" The young man asked, standing up and slipping his arm around Shaharazhad's waist. "I'm Solan, Doldi's son."
I nodded.
"And this is my fiancee" he added, gesturing towards Shahrazhad.
"I am Shaharazhad Moonriiys" The lady said putting out her hand.
Megan froze, her hand half extended towards Shaharazhad. Uneasy thoughts seemed to swirl between the two of them. "Well!" I broke the silence, "I'm Taledo, Taledo Trayk."
"Nice to meet you Taledo" Shahrazhad said, not taking her eyes off Megan.
"I'm Martina Vantucket" Martina stated.
Shaharzhad nodded, "And this is...?"
"I'm Megan" Megan squeaked.
Shaharazhad's suspicious gaze raked over all of us. "Megan, Martina and Taledo" she muttered. "Megan Moonrayse, Martina Vantucket and Taledo Trayk."
It was only after did I realize that Megan had not given her last name.
