Welcome to Gaia! ::

Issaly fidgeted a little as he waited for his brother. He was able to spend some time exploring Oba during his short stay. He honestly did what he wanted. He figured out that he had a second home if he ever needed one. He stroked Ullyee as he waited for his brother. Smiling softly as he thought of the Matorian that his brother found here. It was cute.

He looked up hearing Saalin sort of freak out in excitement. Seemed the big beast rather enjoyed the company of one of the other Snappers.

Incanthis moved to check on everything that they had loaded up on the wagon for what felt like the hundredth time today. He then checked their packs to make sure they had everything they would need, checked on the snaptrotters that would be pulling the wagon, those that would be following it, and then did everything one more time. Once all that was done his attention turned to Abie as he spoke.

He took a couple steps closer and thus began his inspection of the Matorian. Was he looking alright? He'd eaten breakfast, right? Was the pack he was carrying balanced just so? Since the whelps were squirming about at the moment he felt that the pack must be good, right? After a moment he finally drew back and said, "I am... terrified. I know it's... normally for me to feel that way about things but I am." He drew in a deep breath, held it for a moment, before letting it out slowly, "I'm afraid but I am excited at the same time. Does that make any sense?"

He was eager to get to Issaly first, to get his things packed up in the wagon. He was eager to get out of Oba and away from the various people that lived here, he was nervous to go back to Jauhar for a multitude of reasons, but he was still... excited to get things under way. Once they had Issaly and started out of the city he felt that he would feel better. After a thoughtful moment he asked, "How are you doing? How are you feeling? Did you make sure to talk to Aqio before we headed out? What about your parents?"

Abie honestly found that the other's fretting was really cute. It was apart of Incanthis' appeal to the male. He nodded. "It does, I felt the same way when I decided on traveling with you. I was terrified that you wouldn't agree." As he spoke the male checked over the harnesses for the big males that were going to pull the wagon. Bulk and Borqet seemed really happy to be pulling the wagon. Abie figured that they were going to always like showing off their strength.

He blinked as he looked back to the other. "I'm okay...a bit nervous about traveling and getting lost somewhere." he paused in thought. "Yes, Aqio is with his Mage but he hopes to get word from us when we make it to the next settlement. My parents are perfectly fine. They can't see us off because Dad is dealing with another noble, Mom is pretty much dealing with Guild." he hummed as he thought. "Oh! Mom said that the Guild has other chapters in each major settlement...if we run into issues we can go to them for help."

Issaly let out a happy little cheer as he ran up to his elder brother and the elder healer's partner. He giggled as Lithe snuffled at him. "Wow, these guys are amazing..." he looked up to Abie. Having only seen the other in passing once. He gave a semi-bow. "Hello...uhm...thank you for taking back to Tale."

He glanced to his crew. Abysio flickered his ears as the new Snapptrotters didn't really react to him. Issaly blinked as he tilted his head. Were these guys used to different beasts? That was a good thing. He looked to Abie as the Matorian spoke up. He hummed in acknowledgement.

Incanthis reached his hands out, soothing back his baby brother's hair to look him over, to make sure that he was still doing alright after his long stay in Oba. It appeared at least as such. He was looking whole and healthy, as though he hadn't had any issues with the local populace or the Dretch that had started to threaten everyone here. It also didn't seem as though anyone that Incanthis knew was bother him given that the two of them had various things that made them look alike. He'd never forgive himself if one of his old masters started to hassle Issaly.

"We are only too happy to bring you have to Tale, Issaly." Not just because it meant that he would be away from Oba and the dangers that it presented. He knew that things were better these days, save for the Dretch at least.

After he was through looking him over he gave a smile, lowering his hands to his sides, "If there is anything you want to put in the wagon we can do that now. Either your stuff or your smaller beasts that might not be able to keep up once we get going. I'd offer you a ride as well but it doesn't seem as though you need one since you have some mount worthy beasts with you." If he wanted to ride Junior or in the wagon Incanthis would of course allow it, but if he'd rather ride his own beast he understood that as well.

Abie chuckled as Incanthis fretted over the younger. That was cute. With a nod he watched as Issaly started to move bags, quickly rushing to help the smaller male. Abie was sorta impressed. A few of these bags were heavy! He looked to the elder healer. "Your baby brother is stronger than he looks.." he muttered to the other.

He watched as Abysio did indeed calm once Issaly had settled on his back. Nodding. So the Janarim either thought of Issaly as his pup, or more as a close sibling. Either way. The little healer was the beasts comfort source. He climbed up to take the reigns, pausing as the Zanteer merely settled under where his legs were. That's interesting. He looked to Incanthis. "If either of you tire of riding a beast...I got room up here." he smiled to the brothers.

He waited a few more moments for the others to settle where they wanted to.

Issaly looked between Abie and his brother, really liking the feeling he was getting here. It was...family. He tilted his head as Abysio made to follow the wagon that had started to move. It wasn't a overly huge wagon, big enough for a small family. He heard...babies?!? He quickly turned to look at his brother.

"You're parents?!?" he asked in shock. He looked around for any tiny little younglings, but instead watched as Lithe had picked up a tiny little sqiurming thing. Oh that was adorable!! He cooed as Lithe put the ebony whelp into a basket that was sitting next to a wide eyed Matorian. Oh...that didn't look good.

Incanthis went wide eyed, his cheeks burning hot, at the mention of the two of them being parents. He lifted his hands to cover his face for a moment, trying to get his embarrassment under control before he said, "Ahh... no... not like that. We raise whelps." He said in a shy tone. Things such as being a parent... that was definitely not something that he felt was for him. It was something that was meant for... well, maybe Abie? He didn't think that his own blood should be carried on though, only seeing his blood as a dangerous one that might birth another Issao.

Still, what babies they had were good ones. Of course just as he thought that one of them attempted to make an escaped. That being the ebony one. He was a little surprised that it wasn't the one with the messed up leg given that he was the sneaky little dare devil. He just hoped that it didn't mean that Achak had started something again.

He glanced to Lithe and asked, "Achak is behaving, right? If not he can ride with me." He didn't want his little ghost to be causing problems with the ebony whelp since he was the newest of the babies.

He leaned over to take the basket from him, attacking it to the harness that Junior wore before looking inside the basket to check on them. After taking count and making sure nobody had any bite marks he said, "Alright, everyone seems to be getting along. That is how it should be." They were a family now after all and he didn't want anyone fighting.among themselves, especially in a tiny basket.
