Welcome to Gaia! ::

A sibling eh. The idea felt foreign to her, she herself didn't have siblings. Her mother had never really wanted any more than her. She understood that, Teiluj was her mothers world. She even knew that, the way her mother defended and tried to protect her. "You might not be able to protect him forever, what if he finds someone he wants to spend his life with. A mate? Wait, if the herbs are for him. Do you intend to become a healer?" Teiluj herself was already on the path to becoming a healer, there seemed to be an influx of them as of late and she couldn't help but wonder if that had to do with the fact that those she had met around Ast were so reluctant to help others.

It was clear that Isaris cared deeply for his brother. Her eyes were obvious as they scanned curiously over his body. Scars? Had something terrible happened that had forced him to become the caretaker of his younger brother? The way he spoke about himself made her heart hurt. She wanted to ease that pain, to make it go away. Reaching out with her hand she carefully placed it on his for a moment. "I don't think you will be alone forever. There are so many experiences out there. And so many people to meet. I'm a bit envious though, you have someone in your world like that." A smile broke out as she tried to reassure him.

Teiluj blushed deeper when Isaris did. A strange tingle erupted in her chest when his thumb rubbed her hand. "The, the bow s-seems like a g-good weapon. Mamma... Mamma uses the bow." Teiluj responded in a flustered mutter. Nodding slowly she turned so her back was towards him. Her hand leaving his as she gathered her hair together in a bunch behind her back. Trying hard to keep it from falling towards her face and out of potential reach. It was probably better not to push much more on the subject. Losing family was probably a hard thing. She herself had never lost her mother. But the way others had spoken about it, Teiluj wanted to be sensitive to the pains of others.

"You're welcome." Teiluj answered without thinking her eyes shining as she looked down upon Tao sleeping in her lap. That little one was easy going compared to Pacju, at least for now. She couldn't help but wonder if it would stay that way or if there was a chance that it would change soon after he reached adulthood. Her antenna twitched as she realized just how close Isaris was.

Shivering Teiluj watched as his legs encircled her. As if creating a world meant for just them. It was a new experience to Teiluj and she couldn't help but stare at his legs and feet. Then to her hands and they rested on her legs. She could feel the way he worked through her hair. There was a soft warmth to them. Closing her eyes a little Teiluj looked off into the distance as her hands continued to stroke Tao's fur.

The sound of her name on someone's lips gave her a bit of a start. Opening her eyes quickly Teiluj nodded quietly. She waited for him to finish before standing up. "Thank you for the braids. I... I have to go though. Someone is waiting for me back at the house."
