After dragging poor Ime along behind her, Syqvara stopped at her house and looked at the girl. Smiling she'd shuffle her feet a little. "This is where I live." Reaching up she'd tuck her hair behind her ear and look a little ashamed at her sudden action. Sy cleared her throat then turned so that she could walk up to the door and open it. "Cyn.. you home?" She really hoped he was. Otherwise she had just dragged Ime all the way here for no reason.

Ime grinned and jogged on after the girl, happily wondering who she might meet in the next few minutes. She had never been a socially shy girl and so the implications of meeting a stranger didn't bother her in the slightest.
"You have a beautiful home," she said, and watched the girl call for her brother. How odd, her stutter seemed to have dissolved completely since returning home!

Cyn was in fact home today though it was due to unforeseen events. Something had came up with his teacher and thus their session had to be cut short. Cyn had stuck around to practice on his own for awhile, but took the rare chance off to head home and just relax. Though he intended to relax, Cyn found himself doing tasks around the house. Since he wasn't injured, Cyn couldn't find it in himself to just loaf around. Hearing his Twin call for him, Cyn came around from behind the house as another voice reached his ears. "Bringing your boyfriends home now?" As he rounded the corner Cyn stopped his steps as he took in who had been with Syq. They certainly weren't of the Leaf race, but that fact didn't really bother Cyn. "Oh. Guess not."

She groaned when she head what her brother said. "Cyn!" Syqvara didn't have her stutter since she knew her brother was there to make things easier. Her blushing cheeks remained though. And as her brother teased her, they grew brighter. "This is Ime. Ime, this is my twin brother, Cyn." She tossed her sibling a glare that told him to be nice and she moved toward the kitchen. "Anyone thirsty?"

She suppressed a giggle at the brother's insinuation. Hah! No, she was far from a boyfriend. That scorra they'd left on the outskirts, though? He might be a contender.
"Hi! I'm Ime. It's nice to meet you," she said, offering a hand, "I helped save your sister from a scorra. Sort of." As it turned out, the beast hadn't wanted to hurt her or harvest her hair. Funny thing, that. She watched Syqvara go and felt her ears turn a bit hot. But she was a stranger here! Where was she going?!
"Um, no, I'm fine! Thank you!"

Cyn shook his head as Syqvara became embarrassed and headed off to the kitchen to hide her embarrassment. For a brief moment, Cyn looked at the extended hand before reaching out to shake it. He wasn't socially awkward like his sister, but action was odd to him. Seemed too formal for a first meeting but he'd return the gesture none the less. "So you've helped her out too? Sorry for any trouble she's caused, I'm sure you know how shy she can be." Taking his hand away from the shake, Cyn took the already extended arm and extended it towards the door. "After you. Don't need to be shy bout enterin or none of that. Syqvara invited you here after all." He was trying his best to be nice, as Sy's glare had told him to do. This was however his first time having another race over as a guest so he wasn't quite sure what was best.

She listened as Ime said she wasn't thirsty, her ears giving a small twitch, but she wanted something to occupy her hands. And to possibly hide her face if her brother kept teasing her as he did. She grabbed a cup and filled it with water before she turned to look toward Ime. Cyn had basically just made it a point to bring up how shy she was. "Oh, please make yourself at home. Cyn is nice, I promise." With her drink in hand she moved to sit at the kitchen table and offered a seat for Ime to take.

A hand-shake seemed the only appropriate gesture to Ime. She didn't know this boy; heck, she barely knew Syqvara! She certainly wasn't going to be handing out any hugs. You could get away with that stuff as a cute little kid, but not now.
"Alright, thank you," Ime said with a nod and stepped inside politely. It really was a nice place. "Nah, she wasn't any trouble. The scorra was the trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if he followed us here." Of course she was just assuming it was a male, she didn't think there was any on-sight way to determine the gender of a bird. She came in with a smile and sat down in the seat offered to her.
"Thank you." Any uneasiness that might have sprung for her mixed race was completely lost. She saw out of her own two eyes, not at her own skin in comparison to others. The only time she might remember herself would be upon meeting another hybrid or, on occasion, an Ice Earthling. She looked most like one of them, she thought, and it was so rare to see true blue all the way down here.

"I don't think she's lying. I'm at the least nicer than the Scorra." Cyn took an empty seat so they would all be sitting. He wanted to stand, but being polite was for the best. "Were you and Syqvara in the area? This is the first time she's brought a friend home. Lot of firsts with her lately." Cyn shrugged his shoulders in a 'what can you do' type motion before turning to face Ime. Cyn was starting to wonder if he in fact was the awkward one now-a-days. Most of his interactions were with his teacher so that confidence he had in speaking must have diminished a bit.

She couldn't help the grin that came from her when Ime said that she hadn't been any trouble. To her that was something to be proud of. Sy never really liked being a burden to others. Not even her twin. Though he was the one that took care of most things. However, she could have done a full on face palm from her brother saying that he was at least nicer than the horrible scorra. "Mhm, we were just outside of town." With her saying that then Cyn should be able to guess where it was that she had been. The red head seemed to enjoy a certain area where the sand was softer.

"It may very well be in love with her," Ime teased, but that was as far as she'd go. She didn't really know the boundaries with Syqvara, not yet, and it wouldn't do to offend a new friend. She was a bit surprised when Cyn told her the girl didn't bring friends home. So Ime was the first, but they barely knew one another? Was it lonely? She didn't show her surprise, only smiling and nodded.
"I'm from Sauti, originally. I've just sort of struck out looking for work," she offered, "I deliver babies, and I heal."

"It might be forward of me to ask this, but what made you decide to become a healer? Especially one involved in the deliverance of children." General curiosity filled Cyn's tone as he asked. He wondered what drove this new woman to choose her path. He knew what Syqvara had in mind when she declared to become a shaman, but this woman was new, an outsider. "I haven't really had the luxury of getting out of Tale so I don't meet many people. I keep myself busy training, and making sure my Twin doesn't bury her head in the sand." His tone was serious at first, but quickly devolved into a cheerful, joking one when mentioning Syq and her shyness. Though Cyn did have to admit, Syqvara was making a lot of progress, and fast.

Sitting there she'd rub a thumb over her glass as she listened to Ime speak about what she was. A healer. Sy knew that much from when they had met, but what she hadn't thought about was the delivery of people's children into the world. It must be something interesting. For a moment her mind went to Chandra. Did he also do that? Did he help bring life into the world? And if so, how could he not find those warm feelings? It was something to ask him in the future. As her brother asked how she came to choose that path she seemed to lean forward in her chair. "I am curious about that too." Mostly it was to see how Ime justified having to fight.

"Oh, well my mother was a healer, but that wasn't really it." Did it have something to do with her choice? Absolutely. Just not necessarily in the way people might expect.
"When I was younger, a friend-- she's a bit older, she was pregnant, and at the time my mother was the most readily available healer, but she took me along and I just sort of knew it was what I was supposed to do." She shrugged and then added: "She actually just had triplets, too. I'm on my way back home from Jauhar."
"Unfortunately I know most non-Wind folk from the war. I was just a youngling when it started, but I was around for both... seiges, whatever you want to call them. I mean, I don't fight. I don't think I could, but that's where I met a good amount of people."

Cyn nodded along as Ime spoke, showing her that he had been paying attention throughout. He had asked about it after all. "So it was like the first time I picked up a bow. For me the world seemed to stop, any worries or problems I had were in a far off place. My focus was solely on the shot, making my mark. It felt..." He'd pause for a moment. "Right." With another short pause Cyn spoke again. "Jauhar huh? Did you like it there? Syq has mentioned it once or twice but like I said haven't really found the time to leave." Curiosity was Cyn's main emotion here once again.
