Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Huh? Oh! Yes, no problem." Bisera murmured, glad to see Xarnith smiling again. It meant that the petting of his hair had helped, something that pleased Bisera like nothing else. He didn't know if he'd be able to help the other man, even if he tried, but the fact that he could do it was a nice feeling. He was glad to be able to help someone so kind. As Xarnith stepped away from him he moved to follow after him, watching him as he retrieved what would be the last cluster of crystals... unless of course Bisera spotted something spectacular on the way out of the cave that was.

Giving a smile and a nod he said, "It might be a good idea." Reaching out he took the cluster of crystals that was being offered to him, looking it over closely, then smiled, "Wow! That's amazing!" He murmured, holding the crystal up with one hand, the other firmly held in Xarnith's hand.

As he looked back and forth between the crystal and the other man he said, "Do you see it? These crystals, they're the same color as your eyes, Xarnith! It's so wonderful!" It almost made Bisera want to make himself something from the crystals, not something that he did all that often since he tended to instead make presents for others. The idea of wearing a piece of jewelry, one that was made with crystals that Xarnith got him, crystals that were the same color as Xarnith's eyes, was something he liked the idea of. It would be as though, even if they got separated, that he'd still have something that connected him to his friend. Humming happily to himself he continued to follow Xarnith's lead while trying to decide what to make with the crystals.

Bisera blinked a couple times, his own dark eyes going a bit wide at the suggestion, his cheeks coloring. Xarnith wanted him to make them both something, a memento, that contained the two crystals that were the same as the color of their eyes? It sounded rather... romantic, didn't it? Not that he'd say that out loud, not wanting to appear as rude or anything. Xarnith had been nothing but good to him at this point and if that was the sort of jewelry that he wanted then that was what Bisera would make for him. Something pretty that contain a piece of each crystal, one for each of them. The objects would be similar but not exactly the same, wanting each piece to be distinct after all. It would be a fun challenge he thought to himself, his mind already whirling with ideas.

After a moment, when he realized he wasn't saying anything, he said, "Ah! Yes, I will make us some memento pieces. I will see about sketching some ideas for them once we get back to camp." He already had a couple ideas, so now all he had to do was sketch... though much as he wanted to sit down and do so straight away he couldn't, not with Xarnith still holding his hand and leading him on. Not as though sketching in the darkened cave would have been easy as it were... so waiting was probably for the best.

His blush darkening a little Bisera said, "I am glad to hear that you aren't planning on losing me." He meant to enjoy the time that he was spending with his new friend, finding that he quite enjoyed it. Xarnith was actually proving to be adept at distracting him away from the things that normally ate up his time, something that was quite impressive to Bisera. Usually not even food or a visit from his family members could distract him as much.

Bisera looked around as they arrived, finding that the others weren't back yet, which meant a bit more time for him to admire Xarnith without his stares looking odd to other people. He really should see about getting in another sketch or two of the sheild barer he thought to himself idly before he settled down, getting comfortable before he set to digging out all of the various crystals that they'd found. He'd need to clean them up, figure out which ones he wanted to use for the memento project, wanting only the best crystals for those two pieces. After that he'd separate them out by sizes and clarity, so that he knew which were the best and should be used with other high quality parts to make the best pieces.

Turning to give Xarnith a glance he gave him a smile, "Thank you for today, we got a lot of really good crystals." He said to him, quite happy that he was so lucky as to have met up with someone who would go with him on such ventures. That he was even willing to continue the hunt after having to deal with something he didn't like, that being heights, meant a lot to Bisera. It also made him want that much more to make pretty things for Xarnith. Something he meant to get to work on very soon.

"Yes, we should definitely do more exploring." Bisera murmured, looking down at the crystals that he was arranging, a smile on his lips. He would rather enjoyed the idea of going on more exploring and gathering adventures with Xarnith, though for the time being he was fine with just resting up from the last one. They had found a lot of good crystals, so they wouldn't need to go exploring again... though needing to do something and wanting to do something were two different things.

After he was done separating the crystals Bisera set to wrapping the different groups of them up in cloth bundles, bundles that were tucked into his pack, before he withdrew his journal. Holding it up he looked at Xarnith and asked, "Do you mind?" A bit of time spent sketching his friend, before the others came back, would be relaxing. Once the others came back he'd return to sketching designs for the jewelry he wanted to work on. He lowered his head to his journal, opening it to a fresh page, and said, "Only a bit of sketching since the others might be back soon. You don't have to pose or anything, just go about things as you normally would." He'd get more natural poses and movements that way.

Bisera blinked a couple times, "Oh? You're taking a nap then?" That would be a prime time to sketch Xarnith he thought to himself. He'd be in a relaxed state instead of worrying about what it was that Bisera was doing. It was the perfect time really for him to see about sketching his friend. Giving a little smile he shifted so that he was facing the other man, watching him as he got comfortable, before he set to work sketching the sleepy man. He'd be able to get some good sketches with him sleeping in such a manner, as well as some ideas for various designs. He'd never considered sketching Xarnith while he slept, feeling that it might be a little weird, but since he was given permission before he fell asleep then it should be fine.

"Huh? Oh, yes, maybe." It sounded nice, the idea of a nap, but he didn't want to waste even a moment of his sketching time that could instead be used to get in as much sketching of Xarnith as he could before everyone else came back. After they came back... well, the idea of going to curl up with Xarnith might be seen as odd so he couldn't really do it then either, huh? Bisera gave pause, tapping his drawing utensil against his lips for a thoughtful moment before continueing what he was doing. He'd have to skip the nap so he could get the sketching in, finding that it would be the best. He didn't want to risk getting too close to Xarnith. As he'd suggested when telling him to make the memento pendant, they might part ways one day. When, Bisera didn't know, it could be sooner or later, and he didn't want to get too attached.

Best to play it safe he thought to himself as he sketched, pausing from time to time to sketch an idea or two for a piece off to the side of the drawings of Xarnith before returning to them again. He didn't want to appear as being weird or clingy or anything like that, and expressing himself was never something Bisera was good at. He was better at conveying things through his jewelry then he was through his words. As such he'd just have to see about finishing a few of the gifts that he was planning for Xarnith. He wanted him to have at least the memento pendant and the arm band before they parted ways, meaning he'd have to get to work on those pieces soon... just in case.
