Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Why? I'd put my money on the fact that you're an idiot as to why nobody wants to listen to you." Came a teasing voice from below the tree that Sam was sitting in. Aysun was sitting on the back of the new member of his 'animal army', the janarim named Maw. He shifted so that he could better look up at the one that was throwing things around... again. What was it with this guy and using ranged attacks against him? First with the arrows, now an apple core that had barely missed them. He should get the spear he had tied to Maw and jab Sam in the backside with it he thought to himself idly.

Shifting himself on Maw's back he starred up at the boy that was sitting up there, starring at him, before he gave a bit of a smirk, "So, why are you supposed to be a leader?" He had to admit he was rather curious what was going on inside of Sam's head, especially given that he seemed so perturbed about why he was a leader. Was that something those bug women were eager to do? Lead? Bah, thank you no, if it wasn't animals Aysun had no desire to lead anyone, he'd leave that up to the elders.

Aysun rolled his eyes, "Of course I'm important! I am already on the fast track to becoming the best rider in Yera." He said, giving a smirk as he looked up at Samoset, making a face at the other boy before he gave a laugh. He really was an annoyance, wasn't he? Acting so big and bad just because he was some sort of half bug person. He gave a snort before he looked away, a bored look on his face, before he waved a hand in the air, "I will forgive you for being such a big mistake, just this one time since I'm such a nice guy."

Leaning back on Maw he looked over his shoulder at the janarim, then back at Samoset, starring at him for a moment then snorted, "You're obviously blind, this is Maw, and he's the most beautiful beast that the world has to offer." He patted his hand against Maw's dark hide before he gave him a smile, "I will let it slide, you're obviously an animal hating idiot. So how about you just put a smile on your stupid face, Samoset, and aplogize to Maw! He's already been through enough!" He said, gritting his teeth slightly in annoyance.

Aysun's eyes narrowed as he glared up at Samoset, "You're just like I am and if you think that mixed blood is going to hold me back then your pathetic and a coward. I am not gonna let something so foolish hold me back and if you do then you're not even worth talking to." He was not only insulting Aysun at the moment but also himself, not to mention both their twins. He wouldn't let this idiot insult his brother in such a manner, he'd punch him in the face first.

Reaching out he caught hold of the janarim's horn, using it to swing himself down onto the ground, "Besides, if you're going to be racist maybe I should fall to your level and use the nepitism card? I will be great and nobody can stop me, not given who my parents and uncles are." He said, sticking his tongue out at Samoset, not really one who wanted to fall back on his family, not when he was determined to get strong to protect his twin. He had to get strong on his own, but that didn't mean he couldn't say things as stupid as Samoset was saying.

Lifting his head he nuzzled against Maw's cheek, something that made the best respond in turn, something he'd learned was Maw's way of showing his affection. Scent marking something that he liked and wanted to keep as his own, "Don't listen to him Maw, he's obviously addled in the head if he thinks that anything is born with a 'place'. The Obans thought the same thing and they were wrong too." He kissed Maw on the nose, "Though I'm sure you're rider was likely a far better man then his king was." He added, not wanting to hurt Maw's feelings when it came to his lost rider.

"Maw, his name is Maw." Aysun said, giving a roll of his eyes, "Three letters and he's too stupid to even remember your name, can you believe him?" He asked of Maw, as though the beast would find it as amusing as he did. Glancing up at Samsoset he looked rather confused, "Snap my neck? Why would he?" Why did everyone seem to think that Maw was some monster when he was actually an extremely smart, extremely well trained creature? Unlike those that Aysun raised or found their way to him there was no need for any sort of training, Maw came to him knowing all manner of amazing things, things that he was still discovering. His dreamy thoughts were interupted by what Samoset was saying and he had barring his teeth, giving a growl as a beast might when riled up.

"You're a moron if you think I would ever take him away from his rider for selfish reasons, Samoset! You're just eager to see the worst in everything, aren't you? Such a hateful person you are." He spat out, shaking his head before he turned to glance at Maw who was looking at Samoset at the moment, growling as Aysun had done. It was a reminder that the creature was a predator and at the moment saw Aysun as the leader, if he got too riled up Maw might take it as an order to bite Sam, not something he wanted to deal with. Reaching into the pack he was wearing he fished out a piece of dried meat, catching Maw's attention with it, then tossed it to the now excited janarim, "There you go, silly beast." He said, giving him a gentle smile before narrowed eyes were turned to Samoset once more.

After starring at him for a moment he said, "I see no reason to explain anything to you, I am sure you will just come up with some other mean thing to say that I don't feel like hearing." He waved a hand at him as though he couldn't care less what Samoset had to say any longer.

Aysun gave a glance at the arrows that Samoset seemed to be reaching for and he gave a shake of his head, "Don't you even think about drawing one of those arrows, Samoset." He snapped, shifting himself so that he was between Samoset and the the janarim who seemed to be quite caught up in the food that he had. He didn't at all care for what he saw as an out right threat to a creature who had been through enough already.

"I'm a liar? No, I just see no reason to tell you, you wouldn't care, few do when I tell them, and it's something that I've gotten sick of hearing." He said, then lifted an eyebrow at what he said, "Oh? Is that so? Are you going to come after me, Samoset? You gonna 'eradicate' me? Or maybe your bug women will take a note from the Obans and start a war? Maybe enslave people? I'm shocked that your lot were even fighting on our side."

How he wanted nothing more then to give him a swift punch right in the face, "I had given you the benefit of the doubt, thought you were a bit better then your brother, a bit nicer, but it seems I was wrong. Apparently anyone with Alkidike in their blood is born hateful and addled. Perhaps we should go, before you rub off on us and we end up... like you." He waved a hand at Samoset, as though becoming like him was a contagious disease.

"Just happened to be there? If weren't for us Earthlings they'd of marched through Jauhar and dealt with your tribe easily given their numbers and the beasts they command. Maybe that was our mistake! Maybe we should have let them through then we wouldn't have to worry constantly about having something so dangerous looming over us!" Not that he actually believed that, he'd never have bent knee to an Oban but he wasn't sure which was worse, those who declared their intentions or those were just a snake in their midst waiting to strike when nobody suspected.

Aysun looked at the weapon that was pointed at him before he gave a snort, "Are you going to shoot me, Samoset? Kill me?" He asked, then shook his head a look of disgust on his face, "You really are the worst, so eager to kill an unarmed man. If you think I am going to fall to my knees and beg someone like you for forgiveness you have another thing coming. You should just go back to your bug women, I'm they will enjoy listening to your hateful, racist words. I find myself tired of them, of you... and people wonder why I prefer spending my time with animals."

Aysun wanted nothing more then to collapse in relief when Samoset put his arrows away, feeling quite dizzy now that he knew the crazed halfbreed wasn't going to kill him. Turning around he took a couple steps toward Maw, leaning against him. He hoped that it would seem casual though it was more that he could stay on his feet instead of falling over, "What kind? Pft, you have no idea." He said, giving a half shrug, feeling as though there was no way to describe his parents other them 'strange but amazing'. They were an interesting pair, if a bit distant from each other for various reasons.

Lifting a hand he pet Maw in a gentle manner, "Eh, it's not nearly as interesting, not to mention that I don't exactly fit in. You might not have noticed that but I am a bit weird compared to most people and not because I am of mixed blood, just cause I am... well, me." He gave a half shrug then dug into his pocket to get another piece of the dried meat out, giving it to Maw who was sniffing and poking at his pack, obviously wanting more to eat then the piece that he'd gotten. Maw, like all of Aysun's animal friends was a bit on the spoiled side.

Turning back to Samoset after he'd made Maw happy with the second snack he starred at him a moment then said, "Shouldn't you be leaving? No like you want to be here, right?"
