Isolder strode purposfully through Sauti, if he had to again search an entire province he would, he was rather good at it by now. But he hoped he didn't have to take as much time as he had before. He needed to find Ming as desperately as he had needed his brothers, why was it always him searching? Like really was that his life just to become "The Searcher"? He shook his head and plowed on, happening to catch a glimpse of a familiar form in the distance he trekked that way wasting no time, distances could be deceiving here but nothing a little determination couldn't fix. "Ming!" He called out hoping that his voice would reach her and forstall her going to far...he hoped it was her and not her brother, that would be awkward.

She had encountered many people on her way home. Some that were interested in her weapon and others who said something about her obvious mixed heritage. Of course Ming'we had set them straight. She was a Sauti woman and nothing else. Sighing she held her crossbow over her shoulder in a leisurely manner. The blonde was hoping to stop at the next market and buy some supplies that she needed. Thankfully she wasn't in need of any bolts for her weapon. Her mind was deep in thought about what to get when she heard the shout of her name. Or at least part of it. Blinking she paused mid step and looked left then right confusedly. Was she perhaps hearing things? The voice had seemed familiar. "Am I losing my mind?" Ming'we had left Isolder in Jauhar without thinking, without really even any word, so why would she hear his voice here? With a shake of her head she chalked it up to her imagination and started to walk once again.

Isolder grunted and started to sprint. He wasn't going to loose her and it was her he could tell now, no boy had those miraculous curves, he should know he had like a thousand brothers. The closer he got the more beautiful she became. "Ming, its me! Don't leave!" She was taking his heart with her and she needed to know it. He was done with dancing around and the politics, his family seemed to be well on its way, he could visit the two boys he had found whenever he felt like it, it was time to do something for himself for once and it was her he wanted to be with. She who had shown him such compassion. He paused facing her now and reached out a hand, unsure what to say.

There it was again. That voice! This time Ming'we stopped and turned to look around. In doing so she caught sight of something wonderful. Iso! Instantly her face lit up and she moved her hand to that her crossbow would drop from her shoulder and hang at her side with her arm. "Iso? What.. How did you..?" When he reached a hand toward her she took the extra steps toward him. "I was on my way back to find you." Though it seemed he got impatient or something because he was here and not where she last remembered.

"I um well I, I just started looking for you, and found you a lot faster then I thought. Ahem." He blushed. "I just thought it would be nice to find you sooner rather then later, I have got a bit of a problem with waiting for things after so long without my er brothers you see." "You look wonderful! Of course you always have but well I um...more so then usual." He nodded and hugged her. "I was worried for a bit, but I'm glad your in one piece." He would be royally ticked off if something had hurt her. "I brought some tea for you that I think you would like its got a kinda choclately flavor, not my thing personably but it warms one up really good on a cold night." Cold nights happened often in Sauti.

A sweet smile took place and she wrapped her free arm around him as he hugged her. "I am glad you came looking for me. I wasn't sure if you would still be in Jauhar since I know you were to look for your brothers." And she had promised to help him do so. Ming'we felt awful about her semi-disappearance. "Yes well.. I almost wasn't. Being left for dead by Alkidikes and then being in the battle against them.." She trailed off and bit down on her bottom lip. It wouldn't do to get Isolder all worried about something that was said and done. So she cleared her throat and went along with the change of topic. "Oh? Chocolate flavored tea? I've never had it."

He scowled. "Who were these alkidikes?" He asked quietly. They better hope he never found them. He was a very unhappy shifter. How dare they touch her. He noticed her trying to change the subject and wondered if she would ever tell him. "I'm glad your here with me," he said wondering if the alks had been some of those that had gone to that new place yae...something whatever it was called. He smiled then,"Its really good," He handed her a packet, "It smells like it tastes." "Did you have any other reason to visit Jauhar? I have enough supplies to stay or go wherever."

Her eyes fell toward the ground as Iso asked her about the Alks that had done her harm. "They didn't exactly introduce themselves.." Her answer was just as quiet as his question. "It doesn't matter now.. I no longer claim any ties to the Alkidike tribe. I am a Sauti woman." Ming'we shifted slightly on her feet and peeked up at Isolder. With a shake of her head she answered the last of his questions. "No. I only wanted to return so that I could find you. I have no other reason to go there." Though she had to admit she was happy that she didn't have to venture back into those hostile lands.

He grasped her hands in his own. "So where to then?" He was willing to put it behind them, she was okay and seemed to have found herself in some way, that and she didn't know who they were so how could he find them to trounce them? Besides it was time to focus on them wasn't it? "How have you been besides that? Your family?" The war had seemed to turn everything on its head for so long that it was odd to be having a civil discussion for once. He smiled, it felt so good. "I think I've had my fill of Jauhar for a while."

"Uhm.. Am I too late to help you find your brothers?" Ming gave a bit of a wince as she asked since she figured she had all but broken that promise. If she wasn't too late to help then she wanted to focus on that. After all, she had no where else to go at the moment. As Isolder held her hand she started to toy with some of his fingers. "I have no family, Iso. When I cut ties to the Alkidikes I lost them." While it had hurt her to know that she simply couldn't continue to call the Amazon tribe her own. They had no tolerance for others. Ming wondered if they even had tolerance for their own.

"Ah, I'm sorry. You can share my family, there are plenty of us, as of yet no I haven't found more then the two before but as they are the youngest I was the most worried about them. They seem to be finding their own way rather well so far." So here they were adrift in Sauti. "The other brothers are still out there, but I have high hopes that if the youngest and most vulnerable survived then the older and more experienced ones should have also." He felt like he should comfort her somehow.. "I'll be your family Ming." He enfolded her in another hug. They would get through the trying times together. "Has there been something you've always wanted to try but never had the chance to? Because now would be the time to pursue it."

She grinned at him when he mentioned that she could share his family. Ming'we knew he had a lot of brothers. Though she wasn't so sure they would be as welcoming. Still, her head gave a nod. Knowing that he'd found the two youngest brightened her mood. "That's great! I'm glad you found those two at least." Ming returned the hug that he wrapped her in and seemed to relax a bit. So full of emotions the blonde snuggled up closer to Isolder. "I love you Iso." And that she meant. Her return to Jauhar had only been for him. Not her twin or her mother. Just him. His last question made her think but at the moment she had no answer.

His eyes watered he couldn't help himself. "I love you too Ming." He held her close wishing they could stay this way for longer then was necessary. He loved having her close, an exotic feminine spark in his life to be cherished and cared for. They could grow together, feel together and take on the world as they chose. That she had said those words meant a lot to him. He had been lonely for far too long and everything seemed to be coming together. He buried his face in her neck and inhaled the scent that was hers and hers alone. He kissed her cheek gently, "My sweet thing." He wanted to protect her but he knew she could take care of herself had done so on numerous occasions and was now proving herself to her former people. "I'm so proud of you."

Wearing a large grin she looked at Isolder. "I've always wanted to travel." It was part of her Sauti heritage. And since the man that was special to her needed to travel to find his brothers... What better time to do it! "Maybe we can swim in the warm waters of Matori?" That and she wanted to see all the shells that she heard about. If she could bring some of those back to Sauti with her then she might be able to sell them. Eventually get enough for a plot of land. "Would you be alright with living in Sauti... at some point?" She ought to ask him first before she committed to her plans.

"I wouldn't mind it as long as you were there. And I think Matori would be wonderful this time of year. I've always wanted to see a beach like they talk about. White sand, the glorious ocean I mean how much better could it get?" Now he was really excited about going swimming. "Is there a particular part of Sauti you were thinking of?" He peered about wondering if they would someday live nearby. Then he spotted his familiar plodding up slowly behind him having evidently gone mouse hunting or something. "Oh Ming I forgot in all the excitement but I met a new friend hes just coming up here. His name is Kalith." Kalith
