Blinking she...wasn't entirely sure what the woman's...plot was. After all it was already evident that sparks were going to fly between them and not in the good sense. Never mind that she had no talent and hated to work...so why would she join a troupe? To be fair ...she did want to see the world, but from a day dreaming sense rather than physically going places. Then Borra was hugging the woman...and then hugging the man!
Embarrassed she rubbed her temple with a hand before tossing a look to Eira a moment before refocusing on her brother.
"Don't skirt the subject Borra, if we are to join we need to let our family know and gain their permission first...alright?" Pretty much the young woman was putting her foot down on this subject, "And let the bodyguard go, its not very manly to have two men hugging each other like that." She chastised her brother mistaking the faint blush on the man's face as embarrassment.

Eira Post 5
There we go! She'd figured it out Eira thought to herself, feeling quite pleased with herself over the fact that he seemed to be alright with her plan. All he had to do was patch up... well, whatever it was that was wrong between him and his father and then poof, he would be a part of her troupe. Along with his sister provided that she decided to come along, if not Eira wouldn't mourn too much she thought to herself idly.
As she found herself wrapped up in a hug she couldn't help but to give a happy little giggle, "Well, I am glad to see that you are as excited as Gyuri and I are over the fun we will have." She watched as Borra then went to pounce on Gyuri, eyeing the pair of them a moment, nearly sighing at the flush on the bodyguard's cheeks. Eesh, was he going to turn their guard? Ah well, she would allow it if it so long as such things didn't interfere with the troupe. If that happened she would break them up straight away!
Her attention was then back on the woman that she was having the battle of wills with, smiling when it seemed that she'd thrown her with the invitation. It seemed the whole killing with kindness might be a useful tactic indeed. Clapping her hands together with delight she said, "Excellent, see, that went well! All you have to do is get permission and then we can decide where we want to start!" As though it was already a given that they would be a part of her troupe, she was just an optimist like that.

Gyuri Post 5
Gyuri found himself quite startled when suddenly Borra was pouncing on him, giving him a hug, something that he lifted his arms to awkwardly return. That was unexpected... but not something that he could say wasn't welcome. It was strange but the hug was rather... nice. It was even something that caused his cheeks to color a little more as Borra seemed to cling to him for a moment, likely due to his excitement, before his sister was suddenly scolding him about it. It wasn't manly for two men to hug each other? She was probably right about that and yet he hadn't really minded, not in the least bit, best that he said as much right? Damn it why was talking such a bother he thought to himself.
Drawing in a deep breath he finally said, "No harm done." He said finally, his first words in this particular conversation, though that was about all he said. He wasn't really known for being wordy but best that he let everyone know that he wasn't upset with Borra for the hug. He wanted everyone to be happy and get along, especially if they were going to travel together. He wondered how the women folk would get one with each other but... he supposed they would see soon enough.

Borra Post 5
At his sister's words he hesitated a moment before letting go of the larger man, wondering if perhaps she could be right and he was offending him by giving him a hug. Gyrui didn't say much it seemed but when he finally spoke, it was a deep voice once that if trained could be perfect for singing. About to say something on the subject he was brought back to reality by the fact they would have to get permission.......and to get it from their father was going to be...horrible.
"Ah...yeah permission," Borra coughed slightly before moving a step away from the bodyguard to then move back towards his sister. Wanting to try and persuade his sister that they didn't need it, after all they were grown ups but his train of thought was derailed as suddenly there was a loud bleat, and the sound of feet crunching against the snow. A small roati came barreling into view and collided with Borra the smaller male giving a small cry of happiness to see his pet had come for him.
"Baroke! Did you miss me boy? Did you?" He coo'd as the little creature butted its head against him several times like it was going to punish his owner for leaving him behind.

Listening to the man she gave him a curious look, perhaps she had been wrong about his...indifference to the hug but she could of been wrong. Making a note that she would need to keep an eye on this Gyuri character to make sure he didn't make any funny moves against her brother. Despite everything she would make sure her brother didn't get hurt on this ridiculous adventure...if they were able to go on it. Right now she was counting on the fact that their father wouldn't allow them to go. With his word being law, she couldn't exactly forsee that Borra would rise up and actually disobey their fathers wishes.
When Baroke came bounding into view she had to make a quick step backwards else be trod on by the annoying little beast her brother called a pet. Scowling as they had a 'moment' together she refocused her attention on Eira.
"So this...troupe your gathering...what exactly did you have in mind by inviting me? I don't like animals, I don't dance and I will not sing. So why would you benifit by having me along?" She put the question out there, as it was she was trying to figure out Eira's motives.

Eira post 6
Eira took in the manner that Borra reacted when he was told that he was going to have to get permission and it made it wonder what was going on, what it was that she was missing. Was he not on good terms with his father, perhaps? That would make things a lot more complicated, wouldn't it? Well, if push came to shove she would just have Gyuri carry Borra off! Not as though she felt as though Borra would really protest being kidnapped, he actually looked as though he would be all for that. Actually at the moment he looked a bit like a dejected Raptrix puppy... it made him look that much cuter, though still not quite her type. All she needed to find was a guy as cute as Borra who was the size of Gyuri, that would be perfect.
The sound of an animal drew her attention away from the mental piecing together of her perfect man and her gaze turned to look toward the raoti. She watched as the fluffy creature came rushing over to attack his owner with affection and she shook her head, "Well at least the creature seems enthusiastic." It would have to be if it wanted to be a part of her troupe.
Her attention was then on Borra's sister once more, giving a little chuckle at what she was saying, "Actually the idea I had in mind for you would involve little effort from you as possible." She said, then spread her hands out in a dramatic way, "She Who Never Wakes! Borra told me about how you sleep a lot and if we could convince people that you never wake up but still don't die I think that the crowds would be interested. Probably the younglings especially, they tend to be rather gulliable after all." A thought that made her laugh a bit, "Even Gyuri was excited to meet you when I told him about the idea... though it might have ruined it for him when he met you awake." Something that made her laugh that much more.

Gyuri post 6
Gyuri said nothing as Borra moved away from him, a little disappointed, not that he would say as much though. Best that he didn't bother Borra but trying to keep him close after all he thought to himself before he turned his attention watching the animal that was coming barreling toward them, his mismatched eyes going rather wide, "Ahhh...!" He took a step forward, about to drag Borra out of the way of the rampaging animal. Borra called out the creatures name though, sounding as though he knew the raoti, so he refrained from rescuing him when it seemed as though it wasn't necessary. He didn't want to come between Borra and his pet after all, that wouldn't get him any point as far as the other man was concerned.
Instead he merely stood back, watching him as he played, rather roughly, with his pet. So this was the animal that he did his act with? After a moment he finally asked in a quiet manner, "What tricks does he do?" He was an animal act so surely it must do something, right? Flips maybe? Or did it dance? He couldn't say at a glace but there had to be something since Eira didn't advertise him as that sort of act.

Borra Post 6
The young man was still trying to get the raoti to stop head butting him in the chest when the question was poised to him. It took him a moment to really figure out what the large man meant. Tricks? OH TRICKS! Laughing he rubbed Baroke's ear, rubbing his forefinger and thumb along it which soothed the 'savage' beast.
"Baroke doesn't really know any tricks, he comes and goes as he pleases...but he's been with me ever since I was really little and he was just a baby. So we are like inseparable...well most of the time anyway. He wasn't allowed to come with us to Tale for the tournament so I had to leave him here with my mother and father." He explained in an almost rambling sort of fashion, giving a warm smile to the animal before looking up to Gyuri.
"You look strong! Did you compete?" He inquired as he didn't recal seeing the man in the ring but perhaps he had been earlier...before they had gotten there.

Sin'qua Post 6
As much as she hated to admit it and despised the fact she was some what keen on the idea of sleeping for a living to be viewed as a 'side show' ...she couldn't exactly see people coming for miles to see a woman sleep. How would they prove that she never woke up? She wouldn't be able to walk amongst the day now would she? But then again she ..wouldn't have to do anything...
"Your idea has some holes in it...but ...I can't argue the fact I like to get my sleep. Don't think I won't be having words with you ..." She muttered as she leaned in closer to Eira giving her, her own sly smile. "Unlike some...I am not so easily swayed by the words that come from your lips. We still have the matter to deal with at home...and I know my father will not give us the permission you both so want. So what do we do then? What can you suggest that would help my dear brother gain my fathers permission?"

Eira post 7
Eira shrugged, "We would need to plan the act out to figure out how to make it more interesting, as well as find other such acts so that you aren't there completely on your own. I doubt that it would be as interesting if you were alone. I am sure if we look we will be able to find other such fantastical acts that will draw others to the show." She just had to keep her eyes out for them was all. Maybe she could get her brother to learn to juggle? A blind juggler would be interesting... or really any blind act. The problem being her father, she somehow doubted he'd be keen on the idea of her parading her brother about like a trained circus animal. A shame, that would be an interesting draw that she bet Lyriala didn't have.
As the other woman leaned in closer, something that started Eira out of her plotting, she starred at her a moment before she gave her the best smile that she could muster despite being in such close quarters to a woman, "I am sure that we will be able figure something out, we just have to put our heads together and figure out something that would make it more likely for your father to allow the two of you to be a part of my troupe." She doubted the fact that the two of them would be traveling, seeing the world, and getting famous would be enough for just any parent but there had to be something that would impress the man. They just had to figure out what was important to him and figure out how to get that particular something was all. If you asked Eira it was simple! Then again she didn't know the man, he might be even more rough around the edges then her own, wonderful father, but she supposed she'd learn enough if she tried to hired Borra and his sister on.
"If push comes to shove I will just have Gyuri kidnap you both!" She said sweetly, motioning to him with a flourish, as though that was the best back up plan in the history of back up plans.

Gyuri post 7
Gyuri looked down at the animal that Borra was playing with, head tilting to one side, listening to what he was saying. The raoti didn't know any tricks? How was he supposed to be a part of an animal act if he was his own entity, one that didn't do tricks? He gave Eira a questioning look but it would appear as though she was too busy butting heads with the other woman to explain it to him. He turned back to Borra once more, watching him closely. It would appeared as though he were good friends with Baroke and even though the raoti didn't know any tricks he still had a lot of potential. There is a lot that he could learn if he and his owner put the time in. Well... so long as the animal was interested, he'd learned from Halsten that if an animal wasn't interested in something they wouldn't do it, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
What Borra said about Baroke staying behind because he wasn't allowed along at the tournament he couldn't help but to perk up, looking quite interested. He went there? Did he fight? How did Borra do? Was he a warrior as well as a lute player and an animal trainer? How amazing! It made Gyuri think that he would need to put in a lot of work if he was going to catch up with Borra and the others that might be joining the troupe along with himself and Eira.
As Borra told him that he looked strong he couldn't help but to flush a little before shaking his head, "Had to work." It was a shame, he'd of liked to have gone to the tournament, but his father said that they had far too much work to do for Gyuri to go gallivanting off to some strange tournament.

Borra Post 7
Borra frowned slightly watching as his sister had 'words' with Eira but he was still too busy with his rather excited raoti. His hand now scratching behind the critters ear to calm it down.
"Maybe I could train Baroke! I mean I play the lute perhaps I can get him to dance." Borra chuckled at the mental image of his pet up on hind quarters hoping to and fro. Baroke didn't seem nearly as amused by the prospect but didn't move as it missed the attention his person gave him. Looking up his eyes sparkled wondering what daring that Gyuri must of done for work.
"How did you meet Eira? I've known Eira for awhile she lives in the same village as we do. Where are you from?" Borra's next onslaught of questions poured forth

The young woman would be lying if she said she didn't want to travel. No she DID want to see the world...rather than just be stuck in this snow drift of a place called home. She enjoyed her trip to the tournament, enjoyed being warm for once (without the aid of many layers of clothes)...and she did find it interesting. Plus...she wanted to see if she could find someone who would teach her magic. Although she hoped it would be...something easy like reading a book.
Though she was trying to trip Eira up in her plots to steal her brother away, she found herself hoping Eira could figure something out....and get their father's permission to go. Eyes still narrowed she closed them finally and sighed, uncrossing her arms into a more open position.
"Alright then...perhaps we can call the kidnapping plan B, if plan A doesn't work out and Borra and I get our fathers permission.."

Eira Post 8
Eira gave a bright smile, then clapped her hands, "Wonderful! Though I am sure that I will be able to come up with something better before long. I just need a bit of time to think on our situation is all." She told Sin'qua, certain that with a bit of time to plot that she would be able to come with a perfect reason for why Borra and his sister should be able to travel with her troupe. If she couldn't come up with a perfect way of bringing them along then kidnapping it was! Of course that was a last ditch idea, she would rather her troupe not be in trouble from the get go because they had kidnapped a couple people and forced them to join the troupe... or at least that would be how it appeared from the outside.
"We will only go through with the kidnapping plan if I can't come up with something better. I have faith in myself though." Of course she did, she was an amazing person so why would she not come up with a wonderful, glorious plan that would allow her to figure all of this out? She had decided that Borra and his sister would be a part of her troupe and she would be damned if she just gave up on them at the first speed bump. No, she'd get this figured out.
Crossing her arms under her ample chest she tilted her head to one side and seemed to fall into deep thought. Let's see... what to do.

Gyuri Post 8
At the mention about how maybe Borra could train his raoti Gyuri couldn't help but to smile and nod, finding the idea of a raoti dancing as Borra played his lute to be an interesting mental image. That was certainly something that he would like to see. It would be an interesting act for sure. He could see it now, see Borra playing his music, see the Raoti dancing, and see Eira dancing as well. The only question then would be what Borra's sister and Gyuri himself would do doing while the others were playing and dancing. He'd be protecting everyone, of course, while the other lady... slept? He gave her a momentary glance but decided not to question what she might be doing, not when she was so busy dealing with Eira.
Turning back to Borra as the boy spoke, asking him a mass of questions, his eyes went a litte wide as he starred at him. Eh? He was a rather talkative one, wasn't he? Damn, why wasn't he better at chatting he thought to himself, debating it for a moment then said, "Met her at the market." Both of their fathers had been selling what they'd hunted it had seemed, though Eira had been looking for something far different then furs when she approached Gyuri.
When he was asked about where he lived he glanced in the direction that his house was, located outside of the village, and he pointed, "Not far." He explained, thought about it, then found himself wanting to invite him to visit sometime though it would mean that he would need to give directions. As such he didn't add that little thought in, instead just falling silent again.
