Welcome to Gaia! ::

He watched as she spoke to her familiar and then smiled when the beast simply laid down. Gael figured that was the animal's way of answering. When Talisia seemed to be worried about her tagging along he looked around then shook his head. "It's alright. I don't mind at all." It wasn't like he was on a time line. Besides, the girl seemed like she was ready to bolt. Was it nerves perhaps? He wasn't sure and nor did he think it was really any of his business. "I know how Oban's can be." He was around them enough to know they weren't exactly the best hosts.

As he listened to her describe just how bad she was with directions he gave her a worried look. "Now I will worry about how you'll get back." With a shake of his head he started to walk and lead the way along the sandy desert. "You might just have a worse sense of direction than my cousin." Gael laughed but made sure to glance back at her and check to see that she hadn't wandered off after some shiny or something.

Leaving him with the thought that she would get lost. Man! Gael shook his head at her. "Should I leave bread crumbs?" While he was joking he did want to make sure she didn't end up lost in the damned desert.

As they walked he seemed to feel a bit of peace at simply having a companion along for the journey. Maybe he should see about inviting Kani along next time. If she wanted to. The young man stopped when he reached a road and looked back at Talisia. "Any farther and you'll lose our tracks with the others." He pointed to the foot traffic on the compacted sand.

"Are you sure you can make it back? If not I can walk with you." It would be back tracking for him but Gael was a gentleman. He couldn't leave a woman out in the desert alone. He'd wait long enough to get her answer then he'd start walking again from there. Either to take her back to where she'd left her familiar or on his way back to Matori.
