[FIN] Not Quite Jewelers [Inali/Lixes/Drexl]

[Lavender Hues]

Daddy Yaho had put them outside again, claiming that Inali and his brothers needed to get some fresh air. Inali couldn't complain, really, he didn't mind what air he breathed, as long as he got to lounge around. That, and, he actually kind of liked Yera. Sure, it didn't have a whole lot of shade, but that seemed to make it all the more enjoyable. The desert sun was nicer than the sun that hid behind the trees back home in Andile and made his skin warm and shiny. However, finding a place to nap outside was harder, and needed to be done inside. That was pretty much all he could find negative about the move to Yera.

"Okay, Abri, let's go sit by that tree!" He chirped, patting the side of the Mammu he'd gotten as a gift from his grandfather and turning his head back to his brothers behind him. "What do you guys wanna do while daddy and dada are busy? 'Esploring? Climbing?"  

[SwordOfTheDarkOnes]

Drexl rubbed his eyes at the bright sun. The vastly different climates and stress from moving had the usually slightly panicked child leaning more towards overly so. He had started tapping his fingers on his leg without thinking once he got nervous now. Though his Father's were doting and did relieve some of his fears, there was that fear for his family which had been left behind in their old homeland. As he looked around the child started to fiddle with some spare cord that he usually carried with him.

"Ah...Inali...dun go too far..Dada will get worried." he softly cried out.  

[Orpheus Solon]

Lixes was the last one to head out the door of the house, heading out alongside the fiery colored radaku called Pyre that their Dada had brought back for them. He had claimed that Pyre would 'help keep them safe' and thus far he had done just that. He was quite to growl at and chase off anything he saw as being dangerous, allowing the boys to play outside on their own. Well, almost on their own since he was still looking after them, but at least now their parents weren't always right there watching them, right? A good thing, as far as getting to have fun meant, but it also meant to Lixes that he needed to look after his brothers with the radaku's help!

"Alright, so we it's up to us to keep an eye on them so that they don't get lost or fall asleep somewhere strange... though that second thing is more about Inali then Drexl." He told Pyre who gave a grunt in response, as though agreeing with Lixes. The blond boy set to giggling, patting him on the head, before walking forward to stand next to Drexl. Lifting a hand he ruffled his dark hair gently before looking at Inali, "Hmmm, what do we want to do? Exploring is fun! I do want to see more of the village! I heard from someone that Yera is a village that lots of heroes live in!" He wanted to see them all because he felt that studying all the heroes would aid him in his journey to become one of them himself one day.

Looking over at Drexl he said, "We won't go too far and even if we do we have Pyre to look after all of us! And... maybe even Abri too." He wasn't sure if the fluffy creature was at all scary, but maybe she could back up Pyre? Maybe.  

[Lavender Hues]

Inali rolled his eyes in response to his brothers and directed Abridi to turn toward them. Don't go too far, don't climb that tree, don't do this, don't do that, they were like broken records! Didn't his brothers know the first thing about having fun around here? He huffed, blowing a portion of Abridi's floof about. The worst offender of non-fun was Drexl, always being worried about something. Just like dada. He wiggled his legs about and whined as Lixes ruffled his hair, before grinning down to his brother.

"That's the spirit! Let's go see where those heroes are!" He exclaimed, throwing his fist into the air. "Maybe we can bring some souvenirs back for dada and daddy! Just to show them how many heroes we met!"  

[SwordOfTheDarkOnes]

Drexl felt that he was letting down his brothers with his worry. Looking down at the ground he fiddled with the cord before nodding silently. The dark haired triplet turned to his younger brother. Reaching up to pat his head in return. A small smile on his young face as he did so...he blinked then looked up to Pyre. The power of the Radaku always something he found impressive. Not as impressive as their Daddy, but close. He looked back to his older brother and nodded shortly.  

[Orpheus Solon]

Lixes couldn't help but out bounce in place, "Yes! We are going to meet all the heroes so that I can best figure how to become one." He was going to be the best hero there ever was so that he would be able to keep his brothers safe from everything out there in the world! He couldn't say he exactly knew what all the dangers of the world were, he just knew that they existed. Why else would their Dada want to prowl around the area, doing patrols and stuff, keep an eye out for danger if it wasn't out there? Lixes just didn't know what they were. Likely something else that he would need to learn along the way.

Turning to look over at Drexl, who was being really quiet again, he gave him a long and thoughtful look as he starred at Pyre who was searching the area for possible danger at the moment. After a moment he gave a smile, "You should get on his back, Drexl. Radaku's are supposed to carry people around. I bet if you asked real nice he'd let you have a ride!" He chirped, giving him a bright smile and a kiss on the forehead. Drexl needed all sorts of encouragement Lixes thought to himself, making him a bit more difficult to look after then Inal who mostly needed somewhere comfortable to nap... making him wonder if he meant to fall asleep on top of the Mammu calf?

Turning to him he gave him a once over, "Careful while you're up there, Inali! No falling asleep on the Mammu's back, okay?" He told his oldest brother, wanting to make sure he didn't doze off and slide off.  

[Lavender Hues]

Inali scoffed. Hey, just because Abridi was super duper comfortable and easy to snuggle into, it didn't mean he wanted to fall asleep on top of her! He stuck his tongue out at Lixes and nudged Abridi toward the village square. Hmm, where would they start their search for heroes? The merchant's booths? The kebab stand? Did heroes even like to go shopping for trinkets and food? He leaned back on Abridi and mulled the possible paths over, before turning to his brothers again.

"No, no! Drexy, come sit up here with me!" He said, offering his hand down to his brother. "There's lots of room and it's more comfy than a Radaku back!"

Abridi made a noise with her trunk which Inali took as agreeing with him and patted her on the head.

"Okay, okay! Once everyone is ready, where should we start looking?" He asked, turning to Lixes. "Any ideas, Lixxy?"  

[SwordOfTheDarkOnes]

Drexl smiled at his brothers, they were always looking out for him...and each other. He shook his head. "No...I think Lixes should be up there. That way he can help spot the heroes. I wouldn't know what to look for."

He slowly walked over to Pyre, "Neh...Pyre. Could I ride on your back?" he was curious what it would be like on a Radaku's back. Maybe he'd get his chance.  

[Orpheus Solon]

Lixes gave a grin when Inali stuck his tongue out at him, unable to keep himself from being amused over his normally sleepy brother getting all offended. It was cute! He would let it slide too even though he knew full well that if he wasn't watched closely that he would probably doze off... well, anywhere if he was allowed to. At least he seemed as though he might not be sleepy at the moment, right? If that were the case then maybe he wouldn't go sliding off of the mammu's back.

"Wait, huh?" He looked at Drexl, "Well, if you want to go ride the mammu you can. It's up to you, Drexl." He felt that he should let Drexl do whatever would make him feel more comfortable and happier. What his brothers wanted, what would make them happiest, that was what was most important to Lixes. It seemed that Drexl wanted to ride on Pyre though, not Abridi, and he turned to look over at the fiery radaku to see if he was alright with the idea.

Pyre turned to look at Drexl when the boy asked him about the ride before he squatted down, allowing the boy to climb up onto his back. Seeing him do that made Lixes smile, "You're such a good boy, Pyre, letting Drexl sit on your back! Good boy!" He said, petting his soft mane before he looked between his brothers, "Naw, it's alright you two, I will stay on the ground so that I can lead the way to... well, wherever the heroes are at!" He told them, waiting for Drexl to get ready so that the three of them could be on their way!  

[Lavender Hues]

Wherever the heroes were at? Inali made a face. That narrowed things down to... Everywhere. Lixes wasn't making this decision any easier, and Inali didn't feel like leading much longer.

"Lixes! Heroes live everywhere! We can't go wandering forever!" He said, shaking his head. "But, I'll let you lead the way, okay?"  

[SwordOfTheDarkOnes]

Drexl crawled onto the back of the large creature. He let out a soft gasp as Pyre rose to his feet. The child looked around, knowing that Inali still had the higher ground he smiled. "Come on lets go! Lixy if you get tired let us know okay? Your the baby brother...we have to look out for you just like you look out for us."

He adored his brothers, he wanted to be big and strong to protect them. Like his Daddy. Though, being graceful like his Dada was also something he wanted...he thought about what he could do to achieve that.  

[Orpheus Solon]

Heroes lived everywhere? He supposed that was true but it wasn't as though everyone in their village was a hero. Surely heroes had to be special, had to look special, act special... but where to find one of them? Tilting his head to one side, looking thoughtful, foot tapping against the ground he finally said, "I think... that we should see about looking for people with weapons to start with? Surely all heroes must have them, just like our dads." He wanted to find a heroes that wasn't those two, even though both were heroes in his eyes. If they could find a hero that wasn't their father it would be preferable but he wasn't picky.

Giving a little whistle he said, "Come on, let's get walking." He said this to the two beasts that his brothers were sitting on, wanting to lead the way toward heroes! He just hoped that he would be able to find one of them since he really wasn't sure. They hadn't really met anyone outside of their family after all, though they saw a good amount of people in Yera. One of them had to be a hero worth searching for, right? That's what he thought at least.

Turning to look at Drexl he gave a smile, "It's alright, I don't mind leading for a while, even if I am the youngest!" He said this in a reassuring manner, so that Drexl wouldn't worry.  

[Lavender Hues]

"YES! Away we go!" Inali shouted, throwing his arms in the air as Lixes started leading the way. Once they started moving, he slumped into Abridi's fluff and buried his face with a pleased huff. He loved riding on top of his mammu, she was so fluffy and smelled so good! Still, he couldn't sleep now, could he? Would Lixes and Drexl notice if he just... Drifted off for a little while? He leaned more into the fluff and huffed.

"... We should looked for the biggest weapons! Those are the best heroes!" He exclaimed, his words a bit muffled against Abridi. "See anybody yet, guys?"  

[SwordOfTheDarkOnes]

Drexl stayed balanced on the back of his Dada's radaku. Looking around he thought about it...biggest weapons huh? He hummed as he thought and in his thinking the youngling had taken to petting the large beast gently. "Daddy has a big weapon....and in a sense...Daddy is Dada's weapon...does that mean...Ah!" he let out a gasp before bouncing.

"WE'VE LIVED WITH HEROS OUR WHOLE LIVES!!!!" in his excitement the youngling nearly slipped off, Clinging to Pyre before hoisting himself back up. That was tiring. All that energy in one outburst. He figured he would leave that to Lixes from now on. "Lets make Daddy and Dada something to show how much we love our Heros!"  

[Orpheus Solon]

Lixes gave a thoughtful sound before he started to scan everyone in the area for any sort of weapons, looking for the biggest of them. The big weapons would belong to the heroes, the bigger they were the more powerful the hero, or so their young logic told them. He was scanning through the crowd, finding a few potential candidates here and there. There was a guy with an interesting looking bow, a woman with a hammer a little smaller then the one that their Daddy carried, and a few others that were interesting as well to Lixes's young mind. Just as he was about to suggest those first guy given he gave off a look of power and authority, at least to Lixes, Drexl was suddenly speaking up.

Turning to look over at his middle brother he listened to what he was saying about weapons, then gave a little jump when Drexl gave the loud exclamation about them having live with heroes their whole lives. He gave a slow nod of his head before he said, "Well, yeah, that's true... but doesn't it feel a bit like cheating?" Going to their own parents instead of finding other heroes that weren't related to them, it felt a bit cheap. Surely they could find other heroes that weren't their parents, right? He thought that, but didn't say it. Not when Drexl had already moved on from that to another idea.

"Show them? Like hugs or something?" He asked of his two brothers, wondering if that was what Drexl meant. He knew that both of his parents enjoyed getting snuggles from the trio, their Dada especially even if he was less likely to admit it. He was just the more quiet was all and seemed that much more quiet when put next to their Daddy. Giving a smile he said, "We can go back if you want Drexl, Inali." If they were getting home sick or sleepy Lixes didn't want to keep them.
