Welcome to Gaia! ::

Very good. I may have to bribe him into getting some...or stealing some. Whichever. Although he knew Nadai didn't like being a thief anymore.

"Well my advice is to at least find something tolerable that you're good at in some way. That's what I'm doing now, or at least trying to." Giving a sigh and leaning back on his palms some. "Horses just aren't for some people." Blinking at the boy, "Doesn't sound like you're so much mad at him, more like you just want him to understand the racer's mentality.

The you should be good more often.

"I wouldn't say you have to pick now...you're still a young boy. Long as you have your basics down I don't see what a little harmless fun would hurt." Chuckling lightly and sitting up as he took the cool end of the stick that was handed to him, picking at fish with his fingers to pull off pieces and eat them. "It's a hard one to grasp...might be better to not butt heads with him to spare everyone the headache." Sighing lightly, "When we head back to my place, make sure you ride with your knees up though so you can get more used to it."

A snort at her nipping. Not always.

"Then make a point to show people up when they do try to say you know nothing. And do it overboard, that wil hush someone up quick and no one will question you any more." Both tending to their food in silence for a time before it was back to talking. Nadai took a moment to pick a bone out of his mouth and flick it aisde before swallowing what he had in his mouth. "I think that you shouldn't stay away so long that your mother will start to worry about you. Or you'll probably stay till I run out of food to eat." Chuckling at that, though at the same time it was probably true.

"Sure, I can come with you if you go home tomorrow. It would probably do your mother well to know that you weren't just out and about wandering the underdark." Getting up he put out the fire the boy had made and offered him a hand. "Come along then, best to head back and maybe practice some more. You'll enjoy your reverie tonight I'm sure."

"Yeah I'm ready." Swinging up onto Jin and giving the horse a pet before a snap to reins to get them going, both of them making thier way out of Vesendar and into the open wilderness of lands that were indeed mostly claimed with D'vinn name. He let Zykariel lead mostly since he knew the way home better. "I don't think you'll have to worry about her being angry with you."

He was in the middle of a chapter when his ears twitched and he perked up where he was sitting at his desk. Marking his page he got up and wandered out to the front porch, peering out into the underdark. Yup, those were nightmares, that was his son...and there was Nadai. What the hell was he doing back here?

He watched Nadai mount down to, indicating that the man was planning on staying...well he could just stand out on the front lawn for all he cared. Though red eyes turned back to his boy and he watched him a moment before a hand pet through his hair like when he was small. "I believe she's in her potion ingrediant pantry thing."

He was afraid he was used to the brush off his son had a habit of giving him and that didn't sit well with him but there wasn't too much that he could do. Did not sit well either that Nadai was invited in and more or less walked by him without so much as an acknowledgement. He stalked in after the two, silently watching and nod enjoying anything he saw really. Nadai was a rival in his eyes.

It was kind of touching really, Zahara did love her children he knew that much. Though he stumbled lightly, regaining his footing as Zahara launched herself at him and he wrapped his arms around her, rubbing at her back in comforting manner. "It was no problem, we did manly things. You know, ride horses, cook fish on an open flame, all that good stuff."
