Welcome to Gaia! ::

Teiluj rolled her slender shoulders as she strolled through the trees. Injuries she had sustained from a beating from the Alkidikes in the market were basically gone due to several sessions of trying to heal herself. Thankfully, her focus had increased along with her own magical capabilities. A very hard line for her to cross. Glancing back Teiluj took note of the Radaku that followed her. Tao protective and silent as she moved only a footstep behind her. Starline however had remained at home, more interested int he trees above and the freedom it gave her to fly.

The mixed blooded girl couldn't help the smile on her face. She had asked Nkole to join her in a stroll to the river she frequented. Though the river itself held several uncomfortable memories, not that they weren't unpleasant. She shook her head as her mind wandered and glanced towards Nkole and gave a brighter smile encouraging him to keep moving with her. "Thank you."

Aysun's mood was up today, he had actually caught up with his brother and had gotten him to actually come along with him to have some fun for once. Sure, it was just a walk but that was better then nothing. Since it was just a walk Aysun had decided to let most of his pets stay at home to rest up and avoid the heat, bringing along only Sinnika, his radaku pup, and Sunshine, since she needed to stretch her wings more. The more that she did that the better she'd get at flying. He'd spent some time with her, trying to help her with the skill, but since he wasn't a bird it was a bit of a learning process for everyone involved.

Looking at the bird that was shuffling along next to him he gave a bit of a laugh, scooping her up, then tossed her up into the air, "Come on, Sunshine! You need to fly!" He encouraged the bird, watching her as she flapped her wings, landing a distance ahead of them. The moment she landed Sinnika was chasing her, getting her to run along, wings flapping, "Be nice, Sinnika! Just chasing, no biting!" He called after them.

Turning to Chandra he said, "I am hoping that maybe if he chases her a bit that maybe she will decide to actually try to fly on her own. She's a touch on the lazy side, but she's at least starting to get the whole idea behind flying. If she is ever gonna fly though she needs more then just my encouragement." He said, giving a chuckle before bumping his shoulder into that of his twin, "Thanks again for coming along on the walk, it's actually nice having someone around that can actually talk back instead of just chirping or growling." He was always happy to have someone along be it Chandra, Teiluj, or even Sam, though wandering around with just his pets wasn't so bad either.

Teiluj giggled happily as she turned back towards the river. "I like this river, and I'm really happy you agreed to join me there. Maybe I can catch us some fish for dinner, it would be a nice change from all the fruit we've been eating before it goes bad." Teiluj gave a shudder at the memory of her mother forcing more fruit into her hands. Most times, Teiluj only wanted meat.

Keeping pace with Nkole was easy until the sensation of walking shifted across her antenna. Her face lost the smile as she instantly turned on the alert. Scared that whatever was hidden out there might not be of the friendly sort. It wasn't just alone either. There seemed to be several footsteps that she couldn't quite pick out... animal? Human? It was all too complex.

Tao on the other hand had shoved his nose into the air giving a couple sniffs before barking several times and darting off into the trees. Interested in the familiar scent that lingered out of sight. Reminding him of the rest of the pack back home.

Aysun gave a bit of laugh, looking over at Chandra, "She needs encouragement. She's... well, not very good at flying. I am hoping that she will figure it out with a bit of a push is all. Besides, if she really wanted to she could turn the chase around, she is a lot bigger then Sinnika." He said, finding it a little funny that she was even letting the pup get away with chasing her, "That aside they love me because I take care of and spoil them, that tends to be how one makes good friends with critters like them. Besides, with a mom like ours you should know all about 'tough love'." He said with a laugh.

"Eh? Throw you in?" He starred at his twin for a long moment, before he started to laugh, "That's a great idea! I will definitely do that now." He gave his brother another nudge, then a laugh, "Kidding, kidding! I am sure with that magical power of yours you would just send all the water flying at me to get back at me."

Aysun looked away from his brother when he heard the sound of the 'barks' of distance Radaku. It could be dangerous, something that had him instantly lifting his fingers to his lips, giving a sharp whistle. The sound caused both Sinnika and Sunshine to come to a dead halt before whirling around and went racing back toward Aysun. The whistle was one that meant they were to return to him, something he trained all his pets to do. It was a bit of a fail safe meant to keep them safe if danger arrived, to keep them from attacking something that could over power them.

Once they were at their side he hefted his spear, pointing it toward the sound... though lifted it again when he saw the other radaku, not feral ones but pups that he'd seen before, "Hey, that's Teiluj's radaku and one of his litter mates, their both related to Sinnika." He told Chandra, patting Sinnika on the head, letting him to running forward to greet his brothers. While he did that Sunshine stayed at his side, loathe to move toward so many pups certain that if she did that they'd mess of her feathers.

Teiluj's hand clasped Nkoles arm instinctively, fearing whatever the Radaku had taken off towards would not be friendly. It frightened her to be so unaware of the figures out of site. It wasn't until a familiar whistling sound came through the trees that Teiluj recognized who it was.

"Aysun?" Teiluj questioned as her hand dropped from Nkole and she found herself running off after Tao. Breaking through the trees a smirk lit her face as her yellow eyes settled on Aysuns familiar features.

"It is you!" Picking up a little speed Teiluj crossed the distance to throw her arms around his shoulders in an embrace. "It's been too long, where have you been." Leaning back a little with her arms still around Aysun, her eyes fell on another face familiar, yet not. "Y-you... look like... like... A-ysun..." There was a slight scowl on her face, not because of Chandra but rather the return of her stammering.

Her back stiffened almost instantly as she quickly took a step or two back. Blushing furiously she turned back towards the forest. Her antenna twitching nervously.

Aysun thought on his brother's question for a moment, then gave a half shrug, "I have probably mentioned her before, she's a lot of fun, and I've hung out with her a bit in the past." He said, looking toward where Sinnika was playing, "She was actually the one that gave Sinnika to me, well at least gave me the chance to befriend him. You can't exactly just take a radaku since they are pretty smart." Sinnika seemed so happy to see his brothers, it was rather cute and had Aysun giving an 'awww' sound before he saw Teiluj appear with an Oban at her side. He gave the guy a momentary glance before his attention turned to Teiluj as she came over to give him a hug.

He gave a happy sound, returning the gesture, "It's nice to see you again too, Teiluj!" He said, glad that they were meeting on happier terms this time around. As she drew looked over toward Chandra, mentioning that he looked like him, he gave a laugh, "Yeah, he does a bit, though a more gruff version of me. This is my twin brother, Chandra." He said, then looked at his brother, "This is my good friend, Teiluj." He was glad to finally get to introduce the two since both of them were people that he cared about.

Of course then there was her friend. Aysun turned his attention to the Oban who was glarring at him for a moment before he laugh, "You're friend looks a bit like Maw does when Sinnika tries to steal food from him." He said to her in a whispered tone before lifting a hand to wave at him, "Hello there, why don't you come over and introduce yourself?" It was a little weird, to actually be chatting in a polite manner to a rather grouchy looking Oban, but despite being leery of them he'd try his best to be nice. The war was over meaning that they couldn't very well attack every Oban they ran across now could they? It would be far too exhausting if you asked him.

Teiluj's warmed at the friendly comments. It was nice to hear others thought of her as fun, and could so easily tell that to others. "That's Chandra!?" Teiluj gave him a quick once over and nodded. "I see what you mean now." Tilting her head to the side she gave Chandra a warm smile. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I've heard some wonderful things about you."

Turning at the sound of Nkoles voice Teiluj turned to walk towards him reaching out to take his hand to bring him closer to the twins. "Y-you were sick. A-and well... He's the per-person I had the sparing match with." Turning to Aysun, Teiluj gave a smile. "This is m-... this is... hes..." Teiluj's face darkened with a blush as she struggled for words she wanted to say, but couldn't seem to voice. "This is Nkole." Teiluj eventually managed to get out. Glancing back to the oban nervously before turning her head to look at Aysun with a guilt feeling in her stomach. She had stepped up and introduced Nkole when Aysun was asking him personally.

Aysun looked over at his twin for a moment, then gave him a smile, glad to hear him actually trying to chat with Teiluj. He wanted to pet his hair and tell him that he was doing well at being social... but doubted that it would go over well with his twin, to tease him like that in front of others. It was still very tempting though. Turning back to Teiluj as she exclaimed over him, giving a grin, "We've actually talked about you before Chandra, though nothing bad, I promise." Alright, maybe a bit of teasing on his part but over all he really loved his twin so he was allowed! Teiluj was nice enough to back him up too, saying that she'd heard wonderful things about Chandra, something he was quite thankful for her saying.

Turning his attention back to the Oban, starring at him for a moment, then clapped his hands together, "He's the one then? That friend of yours that you were taking care of?" He said, putting two and two together and came to what felt like the right conclusion. So this was the one that she was taking care of, huh? He'd been a bit curious about who her patient was and now that he saw him he could understand why she was so protective of him, an Oban out in the middle of no where, there would be those who would want to take a shot at him, especially if he was weakened by sickness.

A bit grin lit up Aysun's face at the mention of the 'sparring match' and he glanced between Chandra and Nkole and said, "I'd suggest being careful if you challenge her, she may look a cute and meek but she beat me into the ground... well, mud, pretty easily." He said in a not very hush hushed tone, before he gave Teiluj a wink. His attention then turned solely on Nkole as he mentioned memory loss, something that made his blue eyes go wide, "Wow, really? Man, that's awful... I hope that you're able to figured things out." He'd never met anyone with memory loss before and he found himself really curious as to how such a thing could happen. He wanted to ask, but refrained, not wanting to seem rude or anything. How the guy got in such a condition wasn't exactly his business after all.
