Ai's hands shook but he knew he had to do this now or he would just hide in the forge and not get anywhere beyond its borders. He had made up his mind so now he would go do it. He packaged up his gift for Myr, a necklace to match the earings he had given her. Recieving gifts made her all squirmy but well he had made it and it belonged to her since she had the earrings...
He took a deep breath and marched to her place of residence and knocked. He waited patiently but nervously. This was him stepping out on a limb. He stuffed his gift further into his coat where it wasn't easily seen. Relax, breathe good now take your own advice and actually do it.

Myrida wasn't the one who answered the door, sadly it was her Father. His mate lingered in the background as the overskirt, apron clad male opened the door to lean on the frame. Myrida and a few mothers had told him about the young ice forger who seemed to have caught the young female's eye. He smiled gently. His eyes the same shade of brightness as his daughters, their crystals the same shade as well as the same pattern as his exposed midsection would testify. He was adatped to the coldness already, aiding his daughter by altering her outfit. The same which she was currently trying on...oh. His smile quirked a bit, this was about to be good.
"And who...are you?" he asked sweetly.
Upstairs Myrida looked over her outfit. Her shorts were now knee length, fur lined around the hem and inside from what she felt. Warmer for sure. Her top didn't change much beyond her Dad adding detachable sleeves that split at her elbows. Adding warmth to her torso. Her boots were ankle height, comfty...she blinked as she heard her Dad downstairs...uh...who was he...she started to skip down the steps. "Dad...who are you talking to?"
She came around the corner. Her hair undone, the earrings Ai'ian had made where on display...she paused.

"I am Ai'iandarach, son of Randaroch and Antarra. I work at the forge here full time. Its a pleasure to meet you sir. Myrida mentions you and your mate often." Ai nodded to the mans mate, he thought that he would probably like both men had the circumstances been less strained. He took a deep breath at the sight of Myr coming down the stairs like he was burned. Zena looked beautiful on her. "Myrida." He croaked out. What was he supposed to do now? Flail? He kinda felt like flailing, instead he held out his hand to her father. "Welcome to Zena, I see you all are fitting in nicely.'

The male stood fully to grasp the youth's hand, shaking it he then gently guided Ai'ian inside where his daughter stood. Stunned. "Myridia...I do believe he is here for you. Ai'iandarach...its a pleasure to meet you. I am Myrioss...my mate is Letholdus." he let go to walk next to the male and curl into the bigger male's side. "Thank you, we have adjusted quite well and adore everyone around here for the...warm welcome. I look forward to adjusting and helping this small village get some currency to trade with the bigger groups." Myridia walked forward as her Dad spoke. Smiling she shyly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Ai'ian...uhm...welcome." Well..now what was she suppose to do?

Ai made sure to offer a hand to Letholdus as well, he was after all a part of this family, "A pleasure Sir." He said before sidling back to Myr. "The new buisness will be most welcome," Ai smiled. "Myr would you do me the honor of accompanying me tonight? To dinner." That was how you asked someone out right? "I'm sure we don't hold the same delicacies as Jauhar but we do have our own brand of culinary charm." What were all these big words doing coming out of his mouth? He was normally so quiet!

The big male did shake Ai'ian's hand before letting Myr have the youth all to herself. It was nice seeing her beside the male. She glowed...he blinked, glancing down to his mate. Oh...this was going to get fun. Myrioss quirked a eyebrow...so...the male was..courting his daughter. Alright. He would let him...for now. Myridia blinked a light dusting of pink crossing her features. She nodded. "I...i would like that a lot. Where were we going?"

"A small restaurant that specializes in Zenan cuisine its across town from the forge to the southeast. Its pretty tiny but its the best food I've found here." "Its also cozy and safe, I hope you will like it." He figetted a little. Coming up with a plan. He could pull a little thief thing on her in the opposite maybe put it in her jacket or let her find it herself if she got adventurous. His mouth quirked in a little smile. He offered her his hand, he could lead them to the restaurant, he knew the town like the back of his hand.

Myridia took his hand then let out a soft squeak as her Dad placed a cloak around her shoulders. The male smiled at the little couple. "Remember you two. Be careful after dark, don't stay out too late. Ai'ian thank you for giving her a friend here. Myr...be nice." He gently pushed his daughter into the young man, Myridia sticking her tongue out at her Dad. "Yes, sir. Tell the others not to wait up. Let's go, Ai!"

Ai blushed as she fell into his arms and let her lead him out of the dragon's keep by the hand more than willingly. It was a relief to be outside where it was less enclosed. He liked her parents he did, he just wasn't sure how to behave around them yet, his nervousness not being the most helpful reaction. Still he felt he had held his own. Thank Bergchi. He shook himself sending hair flying. "Sorry." He smiled shyly. "Here." He offered her his arm and marched them to his favorite restaurant a gem of Zena. "This is the place, don't be afraid of any of the food, its all deliscious at least to me. Kind of a limited menu but cherished dishes all." His eyes sparkled. Males and food kinda went hand in hand. Speaking of hand and hand, he clasped hers under the watchful eyes of the restaurant staff. They were the only ones in the restaurant but they might as well know how he was bent. But these people were good, they accepted him, why should it surprise them who he had accepted? Besides they would be lucky to be friends with Myrida as he was. He puffed his chest up a little, proud to be with her. "I think the soup to start." He smiled, to give her more time to look at the menu.

The female kept her place at Ai'ian's side feeling sorta like she was being inspected. She sorta felt...validated by that. Like she was with a upstanding guy who had his extended family looking out for him like that. She smiled at him. "I like that...a soup sounds great considering the weather outside."

"It is very good soup made with tubers and the gorgorum fish that Zena is famous for, plus a few other spices and some cream, truely a delight to the senses." he grinned. "So how are you liking Zena so far? I see you have adapted to the clothing," he blushed. "It looks really good on you." Smooth Ai, smooth, his mother would be laughing so loud at him right now if she were here, thank goodness she wasn't that would be awkward. The soup arrived and Ai smiled as he dug in watching her to see her reaction to the flavor, he had no idea if she liked fish but Zena had a lot of it up here. "Thank you for coming tonight Myr," he didn't know how to voice what he wanted to say, that she was special to him, that he liked being around her, that he had made her a necklace to match her earings and didn't know how to give it to her. Ooh, that might work. He would keep that plan secret though.

Myr took a small bite then hummed. "Its good! We don't have many fish dishes back in the forests of Jauhar. Its a nice change for the taste-buds." she smiled at him. Mentally admiring the other male from her current vantage point. Ai'ian was well toned, his eyes were...unique. She hadn't really seen that shade before. It suited him...she hummed. "We're adjusting. Its new, but I like that. New things are thrilling. New experiences...new connections...new world for me to explore." as she spoke one of her delicate hands slipped over his and she let it rest there. "No, thank you for bringing me. I would of stayed in the Inn all day."

He stared bemused down at her tiny hand, delighted at its presence, her hands were soft delicate and tiny compared to his work roughened ones. He flipped his hand up slowly until it was clasping hers, and he smiled. "Thrilling, aye." He grinned broadly at her. "I want to see the world as well, so many places to explore. Not fair for you to be stuck inside all the time, you don't strike me as the type who would put up with that." He threaded his fingers through hers all of his nerve endings sparking. "Here is the menu, the bird is imported from Tale and one of my personal favorites, then there is the big roasted veggie platter that is good too, the bread here well there isn't really anything bad on here." He shrugged.

She giggled at his excitement. Ai'ian really was something else. "Its more out of concern. Dad doesn't want me to get lost. If I had a set route to spend time with someone he'd be more at ease. " she looked over the menu. "Hmm, I wouldn't mind trying the bird. As well as the veggie platter. Were you up for combining the two?" She was enjoying herself, Ai'ian was a perfect gentlemen. Charming. Knew how to treat a girl...

"Sure! We can get both maybe an extra plate so we can divide up the spoils." How very romantic, and so adorable. He caught a knowing look from the cook and stuck his tongue out at him when Myr was not looking. So he had some game! Who knew! Mostly he thought it was the company and not any inherent charm of his own. He ladled some of the soup up, delicious as usual. The server came back and Ai' relayed their order refusing to let go of her hand throughout the process. The waiters eyes sparkled with glee. Just about enough to make Ai snort in mirth.
