Prompt
The past five years have continued to meld and mesh the lands of Tendaji. Where once tribes kept to their own lands, many were now seeing their colorful neighbors on a regular basis. While the cultures still stand, a welcoming sense of curiosity and openness has resulted in a peace across the entire region.
What have you done these past five years? Have you explored? Have you welcomed others? What has your story been and how have you grown in this new future of Tendaji?

So much had happened in the last 5 years for Rhag’na that he was certain he had aged double the years. They had not been easy and now he was finding himself with a lot more free time on his hands. He didn’t know any better way of spending that free time, while he still had some of course, was to spend it traveling. Now he was getting ready to leave, browsing the markets and looking for things he might need. He’d never travelled outside so this would all be new to him. He was looking forward to it, curious even, but there was also that small little nugget of fear as well.
And then he spotted a familiar face, one that might not recognize him from his younger days.
“Iriyana!” He called, headed towards her. He didn’t know if she’d recognize him with the beard.

Riya was in the market shopping around as well, though her purpose was slightly more mundane. She wasn't getting ready to travel anywhere. In fact she had just returned to Zena not long ago after going to Sauti to visit her family. Now she was looking for something to get her boyfriend as well as new fabric that she could make a new sweater with. At her heels, and clearly unhappy with the amount of people nearby, was her Perzi; Hugs. The hairless crystal feline glared at everyone that even got close to his person. Of course he had other things to be displeased with as well. Like the fact that he was in a sweater, for instance. Or that he was once again in the ridiculous booties Riya insisted he wear if they were outside, which was all the time. When she heard her name called she blinked and looked around. Who in Chi's name would be yelling like that? It hadn't been Ergon's voice she heard either. Turning her head in Rhag'na's direction she noticed him getting closer. At first she didn't recognize him but as he came even closer she tiled her head to the side. "Eh? Rhag'na? That you?"

“Yea that’s me!” He said as he approached her. When he got closer he noticed the perzi and made a face. “It’s good to see you again Iriyana but what is it wearing?” He pointed to the booties themselves wondering why or who in the world had put such things on the poor animal. He hadn’t seen Iriyana since he had been a prentice, such a long time ago it seemed. It was crazy how time flew by. He vaguely wondered if she’d recognize him with the beard and all... All being how tall he’d grown and such, he was pleased to have gained quite a few inches since his youthful days at least.

To say she was surprised was an understatement. Iriyana's eyes grew wide as she looked her friend up and down. "When did you get so... tall?" Riya hadn't grown much since the last he'd seen her. She was barely an inch taller than she'd been as a prentice. So he had her by a few at the very least. His question about her perzi made her look down at Hugs and then back up at Rhag'na. She gave a grin before answering. "Those are booties." She gave a firm nod of her head. "The stupid thing insists on going outside with me all the time and freezing his little paws. So.." She motioned at the beast in a silent 'ta-da.' It was her answer to having an Oban beast with her in the snows of Zena. Just like the sweater it wore. Turning her attention back to him she arched a brow at him and pointed to her chin. "What's this?" Afterward her pointing went to his own chin where his beard grew. "I distinctly remember a smooth baby faced boy. What have you done with him?" Riya was joking with him of course, she thought it suited him rather nicely. Clearly her friend was a man now. Though she had to admit she was surprised he hadn't told her to cover up yet since her shirt now was more revealing than the clothes she wore in her youth. Or could it be he was no longer bothered by such things? Did her friend have a lady perhaps?

“Adulthood tends to do that to you,” Rhag’na put up his hands with a smirk on his face. Indeed he’d grown taller, sturdier from training, and enough hair on his face to keep him warm in the cold nights in Zena. With his traveling now however, he was wondering if he should trim it up a bit. But he’d wait to see before cutting anything completely, he was fond of his beard.
“Well it’s a smart idea.” The perzi didn’t look like it would survive on its own out in Zena, much less without the help of these so called booties. Rhag’na found it hilarious and could only imagine the face of the merchant who had sold them or made them for her.
Rhag’na burst into a very low but rumbling laughter when she mentioned his beard. “It’s cold up in Zena,” he began as he tried to calm his laughter. A few people had turned their way to see what had made the man laugh so loudly. “Makes me look older too, I like it.” He chuckled and motioned towards it. “Looks good huh?” He lifted his bro as he ran his hand through it.

She stared at Hugs for a second. "Well it cuts back on frozen paws and constant yowling." When her familiar's paws were frozen numb he wouldn't shut up. Riya had been very annoyed by it. Looking back at her friend she rolled her eyes and shook her head with a smile. "Yes, adulthood. You've not told me to cover up once yet, so proud of you." Iriyana gave a bit of a snicker at that comment. "Not afraid of girls anymore then?" She was just teasing him now. With people turning their way she didn't seem too worried. Instead she reached out to tug on the beard he was so proud of. Not hard, but just enough to get him to stop being so thrilled. "If it's so cold wear a heavier coat!" Riya grinned at him but she nodded to his assessment. "It does look good on you. Maybe I should have my boyfriend grow a beard." She couldn't picture Ergon with so much facial hair though. It might be a bit odd. "So what are you shopping for? A gift for a lady?" She sounded hopeful. "Something nice for your girlfriend?"

“That’s because I’ve seen women walking around with a lot less than you,” Rhag’na said sourly and then his eyes grew wide when he realised how that sounded. “I mean,” he said while clearing his throat. “Walking around in the markets.” He waved his hands around. “And I think they'll only dress down the further south I go.” He’d heard some interesting things from those who had travelled to Oba, one particular place had been suggested to him which had turned him as red as a tomato. He didn't think he’d ever be able to enter the establishment though, not in good conscious anyway.
“No, there isn’t a woman in my life,” He said with a scoff. “I’m traveling around Tendaji for a bit. Clearing my head before I go back to Zena.” Too much had happened. “So no, I won’t be getting a heavier coat. I need to find some lighter clothing.” Would be a big difference than what he was used to wearing.
“Boyfriend huh?” Rhag’na wiggled his brows at her. “So when’s the wedding?” He’d be curious to meet whoever this boyfriend was, who was this man that Iri would date. “I’ll also have to meet him, I’m curious.”

Rhag'na was right to go wide eyed because Riya smirked at him then. "Oh ho.. is that so?" She couldn't help but tease him about that. She laughed as she nudged him gently on the arm. "I see you have grown up." She took note of the coloring in his cheeks and had to wonder what it was that was going through his mind. Iriyana shook her head at him and gave him a gentle pat on the shoulder. "Cheer up, you'll have plenty of women once you leave Zena. You'll have to tell me all about it when you get back." Since he was her friend and she was no delicate flower guy talk didn't bother her. There was also the fact that she had brothers and a bunch of uncles. Mention of a wedding made her chuckle and shake her head. "There isn't one. He and I have been together since childhood and nothing like that has been mentioned." Riya didn't think Ergon had an interest in going that far with her. She was fundamentally different from what he was taught to like. "Sure, you and Ergon might actually get along. You'll both likely agree on a few things too."
