Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chalcedony's eyes went wide for a moment before he started to laugh, "Well, I can happily say that is one thing that Chandra never did." He said, glad that he'd never lost his eyebrows to his son having a magical misshap. Likely due to him having a good grasp on the power, perhaps? That and having a good teacher in the form of Takoda he thought to himself, "Glad to hear that it was only his eyebrows that he lost and that he's since gotten them back." Magic was certainly not for everything, that much was for sure. He couldn't imagine Aysun with it for instance.

Giving a nod he said, "Yes, he uses magical tomes, always has them in hand, reading them, seeming to be wanting to get every single detail down. He's a serious boy, probably doesn't want to risk anyone see him fail a spell." He gave another nod, "Yeah, Aysun seems to be busy a good deal of the time so that he can keep his beasties healthy and content. So long as he continues to do so I have no reason to get after him about them." Now were he to drop the ball and fail to take care of them correctly that would be something different all together. Not that he could see Aysun failing to care for his pets unless he was sick or something. If that were to happen, truth be told, Chalcedony would have no idea what to do to help. As such he prayed that his younger son remained in good health.

Chalcedony lifted a hand to smother a laugh, unable to help himself when it came to the mental image of a man with lop sided eyebrows. It was an amusing picture to behold and now he sort of wanted to see the man in real life to see if he lived up to the image in his mind. Giving a smile he said, "I have a feeling, at least from observing, that magic takes a lot of time and effort, to command the elements in such a manner, it's impressive." Though not exactly how Chalcedony would spend his time. He merely hoped that Chandra was able to put his all into the endevor and come out stronger for it.

Nodding along with what Phaedra was saying Chal said, "I have infinite patience when it comes to my sons, I sort of have to since their mother is a very temperamental woman. It helps to balance things out if I am the more patient and calm one." Though he knew it didn't always work out that way, it was just the ideal. Giving a little shrug he said, "Though really when it comes down to it I can't say it bothers me, he takes care of them to the utmost after all, meaning I don't have to." That meant that he could keep the pets, at least in Chal's opinion.

As the girl asked him if she would train him to fight his eyes went a bit wide before set to thinking on the question. He wasn't sure if he was the best one to teach her, they weren't using nearly the same sort of weapons after all. Not to mention he hadn't taught anyone before, "I don't know how well I'd do at it. Perhaps asking Aysun to help out since he wields a somewhat similar weapon to the trident you mentioned." That would be catching Aysun and getting him to settle down long enough to help out, it might be difficult but at the same time it would be worth a try.

Chalcedony gave a bit of a chuckle, "Tonight's dinner, that would likely be impossible. Aysun roams around with that zoo of his, I can't exactly say where he might be at the moment. I can catch him at night when he comes home to sleep though. Once I catch him I will see about making some plans so that he can meet with you. As for no zoo, that will be a bit more difficult, but I am sure I can talk him into it." Alright, he wasn't sure at all, but he would still do his best.

Giving her a smile he said, "It can be pretty tough at times catching up with my boys, they are growing up and getting so busy, but I will see to it that you and Aysun are able to meet soon." He felt that Aysun would be the better sparring partner for her given their level of skill and their weapon choices being closer to each other then that of Chalcedony himself and Phaedra. They would learn more if they had each other to spar with and him to offer advice from the sidelines, when he felt they were ready though he'd allow them to take a few shots at him in the name of progress though.

Chalcedony seemed to be thinking for a moment before he gave a little chuckle, "It's no much that I want to force him, Phaedra, it's more that I would like him to meet up with you. He needs more friends that aren't covered in feathers or fur." He told her, giving a smile. He wanted to try to get him hanging out with others, with those more like Aysun himself, Earthling friends, maybe even Alkidike friends if they weren't the dangerous sort. It would do his boy some good to have more friends to talk with that might actually talk back.

"Come on, if there is anymore shopping that you would like to do we can get that done before we decide to head out. My shopping can wait for now." He would see about the dinner that she'd offered him since he did want to learn more about her and meet her father, then after that he would go and see if he couldn't do his own shopping. He'd likely get home late but so long as he got things done it would all work out.
