Kiyelt had finally made it out to the capital after all that had happened in the last two months. It had been a long hot walk but it was interesting to see a large Oban city. He walked through the market and saw one of the caravans going out had a whole shwack of Xaraan. He trotted up to their wrangler, "May I ask where these come from?"
The man chuckled, "Why the Xaraan farm of course."
"They have a farm?!"
"Yes sir, they come from over there," The man proceeded to give Kiyelt directions, apparently pleased with his enthusiasm. Kiyelt tipped him and scurried off in that direction. This was going to be so cool.
And after months in Oba he needed something cool. He coughed at his own bad joke, the sun had fried his brain he was sure, should have stayed in Tivrod.

Duke Edward Drake ... that is a bad joke... I approve XD Sanele was lounging against the fence on her break. Getting that huge amount of Xaraan all rounded up and ready for the merchant had taken them all morning! Good business to sell that many but man was it hard work! Small orders are easier, she thought as she leaned back. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted something .. blue. A blue person! Turning she squinted to get a better look at it; Was it a matori? If so why was one of them all the way over here? Her eyes widened when it came closer and she got her first look at an Ice earthing. "It's all ... blue." She whispered as she stared in shock. Dark blue! Matori were weird but they looked so different from her people it didn't really register. Weird eyes, no crystals, fins for ears... This though.. it was so close to her tribe but yet different colors!

Soon enough he was close enough to see someone that probably worked there. "Hello there! It has come to my attention that your farm produced fine Xaraan stock, being a beast charmer I have come to ask for hints and tricks for training them." He stopped in front of her and held out his hand in a friendly manner. "My name is Kiyelt, it is my pleasure to meet you." He bowed over her hand. Couldn't hurt to be polite and curteous right? He didn't really know much about their culture but thought that those signs of respect..should be universal, the people in Tivrod hadn't minded him much, and he hoped that would be the prevailing opinion in the rest of Oba as well.

Duke Edward Drake Sorry for the long wait... My rp muse has been taking a beating from school. Sanele checked the older man out, eyes scanning him and his rather odd attire. "Dunno if Lan'll like strangers poking about trying to learn trade secrets," She said absently as she tried to figure out what this one was... She'd heard only rumors about the Tednajians... and most of them had been about the huge yellow women with antennae and strange green markings called Alkidikes.. or the just as strange shifters who changed color. What was this? Was it a shifter? She shook her head clear of her thoughts and refocused on the man as he bowed over her hand. She giggled at that; "I'm just a farm hand.. not some lily soft noble needing bows and fancy words." She said with a smirk; "Sanele's the name. And you said you were beast charmer?" Maybe he could tell her about the weird animals out beyond Oban borders... things she cold exploit.

"How would he feel about a paying customer? I would pay to try and tame one of your beasts, you don't happen to have any wild ones around here do you? Or even a chick?" Starting out with a baby might be nice, It would let him form a much closer bond. "Oh, oh! Eggs! I would love to see some eggs too.. but I understand if there is a trust issue there, and I don't really blame you." He deflated a bit, "But still I am most interested in working out a deal for a Xaraan. Do you have your own?" He peered behind her looking for some of the swift footed creatures.

At the mention of paying customer she stood a bit straighter and looked him up and down. He did not have the fancy clothing of a noble, the air of someone with a lot of wealth. But maybe the tendajian barbarians have money? "Wellll... They're expensive." She sighed. "Super expensive... I've been saving up for a while but one of Lan's Xaraan is top price. You may be able to get a cheaper price at one of the other ranches where they don't have as good a bloodline." Not that she would ever settle for less than best... but hey. If this guy just wanted to try and train one.. cheaper may be better. "I'm saving up for one. So far from it though." She groused when he asked if she had one. But then she had an idea. "Hmm..." She eyed him before smirking. "You may be able to work here for a while. Its not owning your own Xaraan... but if you're a beast charmer than seeing how we work may be better... Lan may want to pick your brains about your peoples animals" Actually she wanted to but hey... "And one of our workers broke his leg while trying to train a Xaraan... Got thrown and then trampled."

"My sympathies, if there is anything Oba has taught me, is that its creatures are tougher then most and most often larger. I've been injured more then once, but thankfully nothing broken. How long ago was the break?" "I would be open to working here for a while, I find Xaraan fascinating. Where is this Lan? I would like to work this out." He was curious about how a farm like this would function, where did the food come from? How long did it take to train a Xaraan, were they hyper flighty? How did one cure that? He had so many questions.

Sanele scratched her head. "it happened a few days ago so we could use some help for the next week maybe? I'd have to ask Lan..." In fact.. she really should just take him to Lan right now... rather than give misinformation! "Lan's not in his office, he's out at the breeding pens right now.. I could take you there iffn you want?" He was a potential customer or maybe co worker so she should.. but did he really have the money to pay for one of the Xaraan?

"I would like that yes, if you think its alright," Maybe he would be able to get closer to the Xaraan too. This was the only way to get closer to his goals, and he seemed to have passed the first barrier, he hoped that this Lan was as reasonable to work with as Sanele. He followed after her looking at everything. "You have a really nice set up here." He commented. Very clean and well kept they obviously took great pride in their work.

Sanele smiled a bit at the compliment. "Lan's got one of the better layouts." In her opinion of course. "We've got enough barns that they're not crushed into tiny stalls as well as large pens and fields they can get exercise and run around in. Lan just bought the land to the south to create a small race track and obstacle course to train racers on.... It should be finished soon." And I hope I get to help them train those racers! She thought hopefully. "You have any creatures like our Xaraan in your lands? Where are you lands anyways? You don't look like those shifty things I head about or the tall yellow plant women." She couldn't hold her questions in anymore. What was this person? What sort of lands did he come from? What sort of animals were there?

"Well I come from a land of big fluffy things as it is darn cold where I come from. Zena is the place in the furthest north of tendaji so many of our creatures are fluffy to keep the heat close to the skin where it does the most good, we have the giant mammu which are taller then well everything they have big strong tusks and Raptrix which are sort of like small janarim with wings. We also have giant fish which can be quite intimidating." "I myself am of the Ice Tribe, not closely related to shifters or alkidikes which are the bug people and they are tall." He gestured to approximate their height. "I'm used to the cold too, but I have been in Oba so long that I've sort of adapted as long as I have enough water." It was kind of fun answering her questions. He glanced around for her boss, wondering if he would be repeating these same facts soon.

Mammu? She wondered how they compared to the Arwa of her people. Bigger than everything ehh? Arwa's are pretty big! "Winged fluffy janarim?" She said, bemused by the image of that brought to her mind. "That sounds... adorably epic." I think I shall head there first; cold as it sounded the animals may not do well in Oba but it was worth a try! Plus fluffy janarim with wings... I would be worth the effort! Plus she knew the wealthy would buy something like that! And maybe it can have the fur trimmed so it wouldn't be as uncomfortable in Oba... "Ice?" She looked at him; well.. he was a pale blue.. and the land sounded very cold. Guess his tribe took their name after the environment like we did... Fire earthlings for the dry hot desert and ice earthling for the cold icy north. "What other tribes are out there?" She'd heard there were more but wasn't sure. Rumors often got wilder with each telling so it was hard to pick out the kernel of truth in them! Up ahead she spotted her boss talking with his eldest son while one of the breeders stood nearby with a pale green xaraan.

"Well, there are the leaf people of tale, the ice which I am as I mentioned, the shifters of Jauhar, the alkidike of Jauhar, the wind people of sauti. He listed them off, "Before the war we were unaware of the fire or water people, although I can't imagine how no one ventured into the desert, probably because we were of the assumption that there was nothing down here. Then to come down and see the great blooms of life in such a beautiful, dangerous land, well its scintiliating." He was so engrossed in his talking he handn't noticed the others until a short while later, he really had been in the desert too long. He would let Sanele open up conversation. It wouldn't do to offend the man.

She whistled, impressed by the sheer variety. There were a lot of different people out there! I wonder what they are like... she barely knew anything about the Matorians and they'd been enslaved by her people for over two hundred years! "Do ya have any trouble with all those different clans bunched up together? Or... do you have a lot of space so there's no issues?" She paused outside of Lan's hearing, waiting for her boss to finish his business and to allow her time to further question this.. Ice earthling. "I can see why noone'd want to go into the desert.. It's hot and dry here! The land'll kill you just as surely as any Janarim or Xaraan!" She laughed. She loved her land; even if she normally never left eh city, she was proud of the harsh and beautiful land her people lived in. It suited her just fine! "But once you get out here.. yeah... We do have a beautiful land... I like to think it's what makes us strong; having to survive out here. What's your land like? You call yourself an Ice Earthling.. do you live among ice or something?"

For the most part people stay in their own lands but there seems to be more and more mixing, there are good and bad people in every race so you have to gather that about each person individually. Icelings are among the most stuck up along with some of the alks but my parents were very different they liked the other peoples and they taught me that too." "I love it up here, Zena is harsh in a polar opposite sort of way, its mostly frozen most of the year, always chill but warmer in summer, ice, snow and blizzards as opposted to sweat, sun and sandstorms." "There isn't a lot to do in Zena during the winter except slowly eat your stores, the occasional horribly frozen hunting or fishing trip and the mending of all things inside. Obe is more water dependant and after running around out here I think I've lost any softness from my youth, I think you could do the same thing in Zena but its not as safe to camp outside as much, and horribly dangerous in winter, not do to predators but the cold and the barreness, like here it is hard to save people when you don't know exactly where they are."
