Welcome to Gaia! ::

Taking another piece of the meat out Aysun took hold of it in his teeth, tearing a piece of it off, before he turned to turned to look at Sinnika. The pup came running over too him, taking the piece from him that he held in his mouth, chewing on it, "You really are a cute little pup, Sinnika." He murmured, praiszing the radaku before he glanced over at Issaly again and the tea that he was preparing. He found himself starring at it, trying to recall the last time that he'd had something as 'refined' as tea but couldn't really come up with it. He tended to live on rations and what he and his beasts were able to hunt down, along with fresh water obtained in various ways. This was different, though he supposed welcomed at the same time. He should enjoy some of it since it would be a while before he had a chance at more.

"Hrm?" Aysun moved closer to Issaly, for a moment forgetting about such things as personal space due to spending most of his time with beasts. After lookng the crystals on the boy's forehead over for a moment he withdrew, shaking his head, "I can't say that I have." They were an interesting pattern, nothing that he'd seen before, meaning that he couldn't really help, "If you're looking for someone it would be better to talk with someone that spends more time with people or in villages. These days I just... don't." Withdrawing from other people wasn't the best way to get over what he'd lost, but it was what he'd done, the only thing he felt he could do at the time, even if that left him without much in the way of human company.

"I am sorry. There is a village, it's called Yera, that isn't far from here. You should try there, they might know." No promises but surely if other Shifters save for Aysun's Uncle Takoka came through they would know, right?

Aysun found himself for a moment starring at Issaly, rather wishing that the one that was so close to him, leaning over him, and chatting with him was... 'him'. If it were him he'd of done something, said something, teased him or otherwise done something that would have started an argument. There was just something about picking fights with that person that Aysun had loved, a bit like when one beast gave another a n** to get their attention. A thought that caused him to give a little sigh as he thought about it. He missed him and it wasn't something that he would soon forget, but he supposed that meeting with new people from time to time wasn't so bad, was it? He wasn't going to suddenly become social or head back to living with other Earthlings, but this sort of random meeting was alright.

"If you're looking for fish then I would suggest Jauhar, there are a lot of rivers to be found there, or perhaps going straight North or West to find the ocean. Tale though, you won't find all that much in the way of fish here. Too dry." Though he was sure that if Issaly had been in the area for a while he should surely know that? He couldn't say for certain though, not as though he knew exactly where the other had come from and what path he'd taken to get here.

Turning away from Issaly he tossed the remainder of the dried meet to Maw since Issaly's pets seemed to be more interested in a type of treat he didn't have access to at the moment. Another time, perhaps. Provided that he traveled somewhere that they had fish and provided he ran across Issaly again. He found himself wondering for a moment if such a thing could happen, but really had no idea. Only if the Spirits saw to it he supposed.

Aysun gave a slight jolt when Issaly was suddenly reaching out to check his forehead for a fever and his pulse for anything out of the ordinary, claiming he was a healer in training. He starred for a long moment before giving a soft sigh, "Wrong? Hard to say... I mean physically, aside from the normal scratches and bumps one working with beasts get I'm fine." In that aspect at least. As Ullyee laid her head on his lap he started to pet the beast, scratching her gently behind the ears and on the back of her neck, "I am... not good with people, never really was... I tend to spend most of my time roaming about with this group here, as well as a few others who are staying with some family members." He explained, pausng for a moment, a thoughtful look on his face.

"I'm... bad with them, but made a couple friends here and there... even found himself with... feeling for ones, but he's... gone now." The last two words came out as a pained murmur. He blinked a couple times as he realized the way he sounded and flushed, "Ahh... don't mind me. Like I said, I am bad with people."

"Hm? Running away from Jauhar?" He asked, listening as he explained that he was going to Matori, and Aysun said, "Matori? I'd really like to... no, never mine... I couldn't." He couldn't ask to tag along, that was too much when he'd just met Issaly. Besides, there was a rather massive fear within Aysun, the idea of making friends with Issaly only to lose him as he'd lost S... 'him'. As he thought about it glanced over to Issaly and saw he wa slooking all teary too. Lifting a hand to let it rest on top of the younger boy's head, "Guess we are both a little messed up, huh?" So it seemed it was just him that was having problems... though given everything he'd seen in his lifetime Aysun knew the world was in a bit of a mess in and of itself.

"Hmm, they probably smell it on me, the fact that I am not exactly like other people. It tends to be both a blessing and a curse at times." All depending on who he was spending time with, people or beasts. At least as far as Issaly was concerned he had enough animal companions that he couldn't exactly looked at Aysun as though he were crazy, not when that would just be the pot calling the kettle... well, crazy. Laying back on Maw once again, one hand still petting Ullyee he said, "I'm not sure yet. I want to travel, to go to Oba and Matori, maybe even beyond, to see what sorts of beasts are out there waiting to meet me. At the same time I don't know about leaving my twin behind. He acts tough but I want to protect him... even if he's not all that interested in my protection."

He would miss Chandra the most of everyone if he left. Sure he loved his other family members dearly, but Chandra was his twin brother, his other, smarter half. The idea of being without him for the length of his journey wasn't something he looked forward to. Shaking his head he said, "Instead of racing into a decision let's think on it first. Once we go we will be gone a while after all."

There was a part of him that wanted to scoot away from Issaly, still seeing him as an emotional threat... but at the same time he didn't want to disturb all of the beasts laying around them. Now that he looked at them the lot of them had made a bit of a circle around the two of them, as though protecting them even as the beast themselves rested. It was something that Aysun was used to, the way that his own beast oft times tried to keep him safe. Taking it as a sign he allowed himself to relax, his hand still petting Ullyee, "I suppose that a nap wouldn't hurt, not much else to do around this time of day at least. It's far too warm to really travel or anything. Once the sun lowers a bit and it cools down then we can decide what we want to do."

He wasn't sure what he might do himself, if he'd go with Issaly to Matori or not, but they could at least spend some time in each other's company before they decided. It was time that would do him good, reminding him how he should act around other people. If he were going to leave he'd need to check in with his family after all so they wouldn't worry. Aysun let his eyes sink shut, telling himself that it was nap first, planning later, which allowed him to sink into sleep next to Issaly and surrounded by a veritable zoo of beasts.
