[ Nayyara 1 ]
The long journey across Tendaji was almost a spiritual experience for the Elidae and her mother. Nayyara was amazed at the Earthling cultures they passed through, but moreso how different each of the trees were to her own. The Elarian tree was strong, powerful, and a bit intimidating. She felt like a child whenever she wandered about, and constantly judged based on her strength. It was much more power-driven than her own.
The Alkidike tree was mystical and reverent. It felt like she walked on sacred grounds, and any step she made was one she had to walk on eggshells. The lessons were deep, and the tree breathtaking. She left feeling like she both was blessed by an unknown force and also as if she never truely belonged.
The Vandrea tree was the most alike hers, and yet they were also proud and powerful. They also seemed keen to drive themselves forward, maybe with the technology so close to their borders?
Either way, each one was enlightening and Nayyara was glad to finally be home to share the insights with her sisters.
What was strange was that she had little time to think of such things. Immediately upon her arrival, her sisters raced forward to let her know that their mother tree had finally bloomed into maturity, and excitement filled the air. She was dragged toward the base of the tree to join the celebration as the tree was filled with colorful blooms, the air a sweet sent of potential and health as each of the sisters danced and cheered underneath the floating petals.

[Iphito 1] Iphito was shocked by the news of their great tree maturing so suddenly. She had been venturing forth trying to learn more about the surrounding land outside of their tree when her mothers had summoned her back to see what was happening. She wasn't really one for celebrations. They were loud and overwhelming, but even Iphito was attending because of the overall excitement. She was tucked away in a corner watching her sisters bustling around, curious as she watched the newest arrival approaching the base of their great tree. She looked well traveled and Iphito wanted to speak with her, on the outside world and of their maturing tree, and so she did her best to dance her way awkwardly over to the older sister. "I-it is t-thrilling to see our tree matured, y-yes?" Iphito attempted to make small talk with her, already feeling self conscious as she fumbled her words looking at her sister. Hopefully her mothers would be proud of her trying to interact with others.

[ Nayyara 2 ] The energy was magnetic, but that wasn't a surprise considering the Elidae - they were a lively bunch, maybe thanks to living in such a tropical paradise that was Kahikina. Nayyara missed this experience, and found herself out of breath after she spun around a few too many times. As she caught herself with a small giggle, her eyes noticed a younger sister approach, hesitant. She took a deep breath to calm herself as her antennae twitched. Her smile softened as the younger girl stuttered about, taking a moment to realize that maybe she was much younger. Nayyara was one of the earliest blooms, and she attempted to help with the younger sisters, but many of the youngest she didn't interact with before she left. And she had been gone for quite some time. Stepping forward, she moved to gently take Iphito's hands, not putting pressure if the girl pulled away, and leaned in to be heard over the bustle. " It's wonderful. A symbol of our strong sisterhood and strong mother. Oh, the potential...I can only imagine!"

[Iphito 2] Iphito nodded eagerly, looking between the older sister and the tree and then back to her sister. Her mothers especially she knew were so happy by the news of the tree maturing, their tumultuous past finally making way to a positive decision to start anew here in Kahikina. She loved seeing all of her sisters so excited, and agreed with her words. Iphito wondered if this maturing also meant more would come to the island. She hoped so. She wanted others to see how wonderful their tree was. "I-I would be glad to s-see more visitors here. T-though I do not know if all sisters w-would agree," Iphito spoke softly, curious to know where the older sister stood on the stance of earthlings and kahikinans.Iphito wanted to meet more people and venture to the other trees, but not all shared the sentiment.

[ Nayyara 3 ] Nayyara paused a moment at the girl's comment, squeezing her hands gently before letting go. " I've explored the world, I think many sisters would agree once they learned about the beauty of Tendaji." She smiled brightly at that, before brushing her long hair to the side, " I'm not sure we've had a chance to officially meet. My name is Nayyara."

Iphito smiled wide, happy to have met a sister that had seen so much of Tendaji. She was going to take it as good luck, and would do her best to learn what she could from her! At her introduction, Iphito pulled her notepad out of her bag and wrote down Nayyara's name, adding some descriptors and where she met her as well. In doing so she would solidify her into her memory, or at least have her journal as back up to reference if she forget like she was prone to. "A-ah yes! H-how rude of me! My n-name is Iphito!" Iphito fumbled out her introduction, shyly covering her face with her notepad. "S-sorry I'm not good a-at this."

[ Nayyara 4 ] Nayyara's smile was kind and patient, something she's developed over the years from her travel and the lessons that were provided from such exploration. As Iphito brought out her notepad, Nayyara almost found herself chuckling at the enthusiasm. " Nice to meet you, Iphito." It was a simple chirp, as Nayyara glanced about once more to take in the atmosphere of the celebration. " It has been quite a long time since I've been home...it's refreshing to see all the sisters in such great spirits again."

"W-with everything g-going on....I t-think it brings hope. I-in a small way." Iphito attempted to explain, wringing her hands together as she worried over every word she'd said to the woman. She knew she was a bit of a strange girl, she'd been reminded by several other sisters, but wanted to make a good impression with Nayyara given her travels. "I-I've heard of h-hybrids. From the t-trees. It is m-much to consider. W-what are your thoughts? If you d-don't mind me asking." Iphito knew not all sisters liked it, but someone who traveled like Nayyara did was sure to have input. Iphito herself didn't know what to think either. She'd only ever met one person outside of all the sisters, and it had been an odd circumstance.

[ Nayyara 5 ] Nayyara didn't mind the hesitancy of the girl, and was paitent as she enjoyed the atmosphere around them. At the follow up question, the tall woman considered it over for a long moment. " I think it's a beautiful thing. Love is love, and Esena has decided to bless those who have journeyed out and found their partner. I'm sure if I had found someone on my travels, I would be grateful of such news." After all, it was why her mother and grandmother had traveled to Kiros, to be part of the sisterhood pushing forward toward peace.

Iphito nodded vigorously in agreement, taking more notes as she listened to Nayyara. She was in awe of her and her wisdom, a bit envious that she had already seen so much of the world. It pleased her to know that there were sisters that liked to travel and had similar views to her own. Iphito considered love to be very important, after all! "Y-yes, agreed. W-with Esena b-blessing us there w-will surely be more g-great miracles." She considered every bloom to be a miracle after all, just like her mothers had taught her.

[ Nayyara 6 ] Nayyara smiled yet again at the young girl, grateful to be able to speak to the next generation of sisters. She imagined soon enough they'd have truebloomed Elidae, with two sisters coming together to bring forth a stronger sisterhood. It wasn't that she didn't appreciate her mother, but she understood that having a child to extend their bloodline would be valuable indeed. " What about you, Iphito? Without all of our teachings and pressures of the mothers, how do you feel about such changes?"

"H-how do I f-feel? Well....m-my mothers have always t-talked to me about acceptance," Iphito started, chewing on her lip as she thought it over. For her it was more well, she sort of thought it would help raise more sisters. Get outsiders interested in what their sisters had to offer. "I think...I t-think the changes will let sisters explore more. A-and help with t-the unease we tend to feel around e-earthlings." Despite her interest in seeing the world even she was nervous around the shorter races. She hoped maybe them coming around more would help them all adjust.

[ Nayyara 7 ] Tilting her head at the response, Nayyara nodded, "Well said." She replied with a smile, "I know I for one benefited from seeing the world...both our sisterhood and beyond. I do hope others get the chance to do the same, if they so wish." She rested a gentle hand on Iphito's shoulder, squeezing it lightly before letting it drop, "It seems others seem keen to do just that. This will be quite a beginning indeed." OpticPeach So so sorry for the delay!

"T-that is m-my goal! To see the w-world! A-and the sisters!" Iphito preened happily at the gentle touch of Nayyara, always enjoying the affection of her sisters. Admitting her own goals to travel didn't feel so scary now that others had traveled far to see the wider lands. "I hope to g-get the chance to! Then I c-can bring the stories b-back! To everyone! A-and tell them of the g-great wonders!" Even just a story or two would be enough, but no matter how small she would take note of her travels. "B-but for n-now t-time to enjoy the festivities!"
