Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rishima seemed to think on the question for a moment, seeming to debate over the dreams he had, one that involved an ever friendly Gerr. He flushed just a bit before he looked over at Gerraden and said, "They were good, which is nice, of late when I do happen to sleep they are more nightmares then anything." He spent so much time while he was awake worrying over things that it ended up messing with his dreams as well. So to have a chance to sleep easily as well, to enjoy his dreams again, it was nice.

Giving a smile he said, "I think that I should nap on you more often, it seems to help me out a lot as far as real sleep goes." He pushed up to his feet, stretching out from head to toe, then shook his head before he reached his hands up to straighten out his dreads which seemed to have gotten all smooshed down and messed up while he slept. Once they were back in order he turned back to Gerr before he smiled, "Ahhh... I am feeling rather refreshed, it's a nice change of pace." He didn't really think about the fact that he was probably reenforcing Gerraden's feelings when he told him such things, he was just feeling so much better!

"Mmm... It's kind of late though, I am not keeping you from anything important, am I?" He asked, hoping that he wasn't supposed to be helping out his parents or something and ended up playing the part of Rishi's pillow all afternoon. Oops.

Rishima gave a sighing sound of relief when Gerraden said that he didn't have anything that he should have been doing that he couldn't catch up with later, "Good, I am glad. I'd hate to get you into trouble because I was in need of a nap." He said, cheeks flushing just a bit at the mere thought of it. The last thing he wanted was to be a bother to Gerraden since he was such a nice guy, looking after him the whole time that he was sleeping. Giving him a smile he said, "If your parents ask you can always blame me if you need to, if that will help to get you out of any sort of trouble that you might be in."

The half blood gave pause at the thought of sleeping the next time in a hammock. He was right, it would be more comfortable, probably for both of them, since he wouldn't be squishing Gerraden all afternoon that way. His antennae stood up tall, twitched, then he nodded, "Sure, I don't mind us doing that sometime. It might be a lot more relaxing for us both that way." He mused, feeling that it would be best that way. Not to mention it was something they could set up off the ground in a safer place. He didn't want to leave the two of them all alone and unprotected a second time after all, he wasn't so selfish as that.

Turning to look at Gerraden he gave a smile, "We should head back toward your village, I will see you home and then return to my patrols." Knowing that Gerraden was safe at home would make his patrols a lot easier, he would rather know where Gerr was and that he was safe instead of being left into dark as to his location.

Rishima's eyes went a bit wide as Gerraden spoke, complimenting him in an embarrassing manner, his cheeks feeling hot. He glanced away, then back again, giving him a bit of a smile, "Ahhh... t-thank you." He said, finding it rather strange, the way that he was always giving him so many compliments. The guy really was liberal with the kind words but it wasn't a bad thing, just... strange. Not to mention it made him blush like crazy. He was pretty sure that there wasn't anyone else around that could do such a thing... except maybe Jerada. She was pretty good at it as well.

His antennae gave a little twitch when he spoke of his parents likely being happy to see him again. It was something that had him smiling just a bit, "Really? It would be nice to see them again, it's been a while since the last time I visited your place." Not since the first time that I met up with Gerraden. Another visit back to see them again would be nice, he was curious how they were doing after all since they were a couple much like his own parents might have been had his father not vanished, "I will at least say 'hello' when we get you back to your village."

A squeak escaped from Rishima as he found himself pulled into Gerraden's arms, getting a big hug that he couldn't help but to smile over. It was a rather friend gesture, one that Gerraden seemed to be happy to lavish upon him, "I thank you for being so good to me today." He said as Gerraden drew back from him. He really wasn't sure what he'd of done if the guy hadn't been here... most likely his patrols would have continued on without sleep as they had been of late. Having Gerraden there to take a bit of weight off his shoulders was a nice change of pace that was for sure.

He turned to look toward him when he mentioned that he didn't have to patrol alone... or live alone for that matter. He tilted his head to one side, starring at him curiously. Was Gerraden inviting him to live with him? Well, with his family. It would make patrolling a bit easier, having somewhere toward the middle of his patrol zone to rest at... but he couldn't impose upon Gerraden's family in such a way. He gave a smile and said, "I wouldn't want to be a hassle to your parents, but thank you for the..." He trailed off in the middle of his sentence as Gerraden then added that he would make a home for them. Rishima's mismatched eyes went wide and his cheeks flushed again.

"Oh... I... umm..." He had no words. It seemed like a lot of effort, to build the two of them a place so that it would make their patrols easier... unless he was thinking of something else? For a moment he thought about all the times that Gerraden seemed to so close to him, hugging him, holding his hand, tackling him that one time. His antennae set to twitching as he mulled it over, wondering if Gerr was trying to tell him something without saying it out right? What he said though, it sounded nice, "I... well, while having someone to come back to would be nice I couldn't put you out like that or expect you to do so much work, Gerraden. It would be unfair of me to ask that of you."

It was a bit strange to see Gerraden acting in such a serious manner, having taken hold of Rishima's hands, stood in front of him, and seemed to be making rather serious vows to him. It made his cheeks color and his antennae twitch, wondering where Gerraden was getting such confidence in himself. Surely he must know that the Obans were dangerous? Not to mention that they were on their way even now, threatening the safety of this place. The last thing that Rishi wanted was for Gerraden to have to protect him, especially when he was wanting to look after Gerraden. It was a bit odd, that they both wanted to protect the other, which would make it a bit complicated for either of them to actually protect the other in the end.

Rishima gave a little squeak when Gerraden suddenly dragged him along, pointing at all of the various places that he felt that he could build them a place. He seemed rather serious about the whole thing, didn't he? It made him wonder why he was so eager to make them a place. He was just being nice he supposed?

"Eh? What do I think?" He asked, looking around a moment, thoughtful, antennae raising before he finally said, "Somewhere off the ground, for sure, our sisters live in the trees and it feels a lot safer. We can escape from the various, bigger beasts that tend to stick to the ground." Staying near the ground wasn't an idea that made him comfortable, as such a place higher up meant safer. Could Gerraden build a place like that on his own though? Should he help him? He wasn't sure, he had a lot of work to do, a lot of patrols to do, and Gerraden did seem eager to do it himself. He gave a thoughtful sound before he said, "Well, if you need any help I could... attempt it. I've never built anything before..." He wasn't sure how much help he would be.

Gerraden seemed rather sure about all this, didn't he? So maybe he had experience? Perhaps it was something that he had learned from someone in the Shifter village? It was the confidence of the younger man that made him feel as though it should be alright to mostly leave it in his hands. He would help when he could but if he were to leave it up to Gerraden then it should be alright, or at least that was what he felt. It was a bit strange to leave such an important matter in the hands of someone so much younger then him but again, the way Gerraden was acting made him feel as though it was safe to do so. Not as though Rishima knew anything about building a home himself.

Turning to look toward the tree that Gerraden was pointing at, taking in the branches that he seemed so excited over, he gave a slow nod. That could be a good spot he found himself thinking. It was between the Chibale Isles and Gerraden's village, it wasn't too close to either so it wouldn't make it seem as though Rishima was siding with the Shifters of that village, it would just be the two of them. It would be interesting, dealing with Gerraden one on one for a long period of time given his disposition... he would bet that the guy would constantly be clinging onto him... and what about sleeping arrangements? He said the house would be rather spacious but he somehow felt that he would likely be invading his sleeping space just as he did his personal space. Such a thing would be unlike what he was used to but at the same time it wasn't bad. He'd been comfortable sleeping earlier while using him as a pillow after all.

Antennae twitching he turned to look over at Gerraden and gave another nod, "It seems like a good place." He finally said, feeling that if Gerraden like the spot and felt that it would be a good place for him to start to build then he would give the younger male the go ahead.

Rishima gave a little shake of his head, "I... don't know how long it takes. I guess it depends on how ornate you mean to make it." Which was a valid question, how big was big? Gerraden seemed to be wanting to make it rather spacious so that would likely cause it to take that much more time for him to build. The bigger it was the longer it would take, but surely Gerraden must know that much? He gave a nod, certain that he did. He glanced toward him as Gerraden set to once more clinging to his hand. It was something he allowed only when they were alone, certain that such a thing would be quite embarrassing were Gerraden to try it in front of his parents or some of their sisters.

"Eh? Oh... yes, I think it would be best to wait until the house is done before I try to move lest I find myself moving into an empty tree." He said, then gave him a bit of a lopsided smile, "As for helping me move, I think it would be best for me to do it myself or perhaps get help from Jerarda." He wasn't sure what their sisters might thing for someone like Gerraden to come help him to move his stuff. He didn't want him to get attacked so it might be best for him to do the moving himself when the time came.

Giving Gerraden's hand a squeeze he added, "We don't have to worry about that just yet though." In fact they didn't have to worry about it until the house was done so it was at the moment sort of a moot point. He would worry about it when the house was built, for now his stuff would remain where it was at present.
