Ichil gave Kiyelt a bit of a Look. "I'm not really one to run," she said and began after Kiyelt. Her steps were quiet and she followed as carefully as she could, even placing her own foot in Kiyelt's prints if possible. She had no fear or shame in climbing under the ridge with him, although she did have to pull her cowl back up when it snagged on a rock. She then peered over the edge with him and smiled broadly. Her first wild janarim, and so close! Her smile turned to a grin and she touched Kiyelt's hand in thanks.

Kiyelt turned his head and saw a twin look on her face, he was delighted to share this passion with someone. The janarim sniffed the air and looked around but did not see them. Kiyelt let out a breath of relief, he started crawling back the way they had come, in an awesome mood. Every day was a good day that had a janarim in it. The lady janarim was none the wiser and went on with her peaceful morning. Once they were out of range he stood back up and stretched. "That was so much fun Ichil. She really was a fine fine beast."

She followed Kiyelt back, even if she might have liked to watch the janarim a little longer. She laughed, but only quietly so as to not disturb the creature, and nodded. It was an odd sort of fun. It wasn't like dancing fun or flirting fun, but it was still exciting. Maybe even a little more exciting.
"She was rather pretty," Ichil agreed, "but of course a man from Zena is more exotic." She smirked and began off again toward Tivrod, giving a happy little twist of her skirts.

Kiyelt cleared his throat but still didn't know what to say. "What do mean by exotic, this whole place is exotic to me." He blinked as she twisted her skirt. She definitely had his attention if he didn't know better that was a most brazen flirt and carried out flawlessly. He scrambled to catch up with her. "I have been stunned by Oba's beauty since I got here." He flashed her a smile. Well he could flirt too, kinda. Although he rather figured that twitching his own but would have less effect then her. He offered her an arm. He knew she could walk on her own but he liked the contact. She had crawled after his butt to look at the janarim it was only fair that he showed her his face now wasn't it? Oh he was so out of practice at this.

The flirt did not go unnoticed, as reflected in a slight brow arch and a flash in Ichil's eyes.
"Well, you know, exotic," she said, taking his arm and hooking hers around it. Huh. She couldn't even think of the last time someone had offered her their arm without noble obligation. "You can't really get much further from Oba than Zena." She tilted her head to look down at his arm and drew a finger up it. "You can't get much different from brown than blue, either." She looked up then at his ears and flipped the end of one. "And the ears too, of course."

His ears twitched when she flicked them. "You forgot the crystals too, and the eyes," he opened his wide and stared at her. "Yellow the better to hypnotize you with." He held it for a little then started giggling. "Your skin gleams in the sun, rich, vital, mine burnt when I started out, its got quite the tan now thankfully. Besides I think you have cute ears." He smiled, "And the most beautiful smile, I'm not used to such full lips, icelings certainly don't have them, ours are thin so we can look stoic and stern as our toes freeze off." He mimed one of the elders from home, then smiled slowly and winked at her. "You know the best part though, is what we have in common."

Ichil waved her hand dismissively. They all had crystals, and every race had their own common eye color. She did smile though and widen her eyes at his. "And red to seduce you." She laughed then and once more swished her skirts, this time only with her free arm. He continued to compliment her and her smile only grew to a grin.
"Such a flatterer you are. My lips are full even for my own race," she said and puckered them. "All the better for kissing." She tugged at Kiyelt's elbow with her own playfully. "Oh? And what is it we have in common?"

"A heart two eyes a spirit, a soul." He grinned knowing it was both deep and corny yet it remained the truth, your outside made you erthling your spirit made you unique. Or something like that he would have to consider it further. No one could fail to notice her luscious kisser especially when it was pursed like that. If only he knew her better he may have been a bit more daring. "Careful where you aim that smile you may get more than you bargain for sweet lily."

Ichil smiled and shook her head. It was a bit corny, but nobody spoke so honestly any more. Everyone was so afraid of appearances and what other people thought, they wouldn't dare be corny. Kiyelt was himself. She admired that about him.
'Sweet Lily?' Ichil's smile half-fell and turned soft. Nobody had ever-- and he wasn't even making a move on her? Flirting a little, sure, but she hadn't been tugged into any laps or forcible kisses this time. She turned instead to kiss Kiyelt's shoulder.
"I've already seen more than I bargained for in you."

He was about ready to crawl out of his skin. Had that just happened? Had her soft lips kissed kiss shoulder. It was a time he would never forget, along with saving Iniu and when he finally tamed Skiyaii, Rajiri after that. When his father came down from Zena after the war to see him and his first step on Oban soil. These were the jewels that one collected throughout life. "Thank you Ichil." He said sincerly. "I think your one of a kind too."
Whatever his confused pile of emotions were they were swamping him rather strongly. Over top of it all he was just happy.

Ichil smiled up at him and then followed along in silence, arm-in-arm with this stranger who had already proven himself more charming than even the most hard-bodied soldier. She couldn't wait to see his home. There would be more to learn about him there. Would she get to meet the little girl she had helped purchase a gift for?

Soon they entered the small forestry town of Tivrod, close to the border with tendaji. Many people were busy about their days working deligently with wood, they passed the market and the settlements, finally arriving at his tent where a little girl waited stroking a dark colored sailscale. Kiyelt grinned and waved in greeting. "Ichil this is Aniti, her parents live just over there, they are nice enough to allow us to hang out together, and I always have a competent tamer youngling to look after my hoarde. Aniti, this is Ichil, shes from the big city and she tracked us down a lovely janarim." Kiyelt beamed. "The sailscale there is Norcrest."
Iniu peeked her head out of the tent at his voice and flapped out to land on him and start rubbing her face all over him. "Yes Iniu my sweet I missed you too. This is Ichil," he held Iniu out on his arm and she bobbed her head at Ichil and crooned in greeting before suction cupping herself back onto Kiyelt's torso. "She's a little...exuberant."
"Its a pleasure to meet you Ichil." Aniti said smiling. "Oh really a janarim? What did it look like?" She handed Norcrest to Kiyelt as well so he was covered in sailscale and drilled them with questions. Kiyelt crinkled his eyes with mirth.

Suddenly there was a little girl, and Ichil's face lit up. She waved and released Kiyelt's arm and nodded when they were introduced.
"Aniti, it's nice to finally meet you! I've heard so much about you," Ichil said. She ignored the sailscale for the moment. She was pretty sure they wouldn't really appreciate a greeting anyway, but she did note which was which. She laughed at the rather strongly attached sailscale and turned back to Aniti.
"Well, it was a sort of pinky-cream, and it had stripes. It was a girl, Kiyelt tells me, but I'm no good at telling myself. Maybe you can teach me while I'm here?"

Initi clasped her hands together and squirmed smiling. "Oh she sounds gorgeous! Are you two going to tame her and bring her home? She won't fit in the tent, not even Skiyaii fits all that well with everyone else in there." She looked at Kiyelt, "I don't know how you sleep at night." She gave him a disgruntled look. "Oh theres Skiyaii." The pale white janarim poked his master in the back as the little girl blew his cover. Kiyelt smiled and patted the large head. "This is Skiyaii and behind him is Rijiri the last two of my crew. Now you have met them all." "Aniti, Ichil and I brought you home a gift." Kiyelt produced the paper wrapped janarim from somewhere and presented it to the little Oban youngling. Who squealed louder then the sailscales when she opened it. "I LOVE IT." "Thought it was time you had your own, and this one is less messy to feed."

Oh, no! She hadn't meant to be any part of that! The money had simply been a gift, she'd wanted the carving to be from Kiyelt alone. There was no way to take something like that back, though, so she simply clasped her hands together and smiled in a rather ladylike fashion.
She was curious about the janarim behind Kiyelt, though. It was so close! Could she touch it? Certainly if it was around a little girl it couldn't be all that dangerous, but you didn't pet animals that could bite you on a whim.
"I guess I'll be the last one to have a janarim," Ichil said, turning back to the little girl, "I'm glad you like him!" Now, was it a boy because Aniti had arbitrarily assigned it a gender like children did, or was it carved that way?
