Welcome to Gaia! ::

Abie chuckled. "It is...on top of having a Twin...Normally one would think we didn't get along that well with how opposite we are...but---" he turned giving the other a wide grin. "That just makes growing up fun!"

He paused as they walked through the short-cut. "Oh cool! The weapon's merchant is here today!" he nodded at a stall set up a few stalls away from them. "The merchant is the sibling to the food stall next to him. They like staying side-by-side...did you wanna take a peek?" He smirked.

Abie chuckled as he led the other to the sibling stalls. He smiled at the brothers, having done work with them before he was greeted rather warmly. He explained what was up and both boys got a free meal. Abie gave a cheer as the two were directed to sit on barrels between the stalls. Laqui wandering out and curling up on its owner's foot. Accepting small bits of food Abie gave him. The youth chuckled.

"When their young like this I noticed they like watered down plants...their not poking at meat yet, but a few of the older ones have started snapping at the meats set out for them." He sounded hopeful.

Abie smiled. "Mhm. Infant Janarim's....Prezi...ah....a few others I can't name off the top of my head. But the little guys have plenty of playmates back home. Though, the Prezi are the same size as them...those Janarim are big little punks." He swallowed a bite before shaking his head. "Literally. Cause of their size they like to try to bully the smaller ones. We got a few fighters among the Prezi. Those little tykes are spitfires when they wanna be."

He chuckled. "Just the other day the biggest Janarim pup got taken down by the biggest Prezi kitten. Granted...the pups aren't at the stage where they need to be mindful of their claws...and their plates haven't fully developed. For now its a even challenge...but later...nope. Janarim wins." he blinked as he looked down at Laqui. "Maybe. Not sure what a adult Janarim and a adult Snaptrotter could do to each other."

Abie blinked as he looked over at the weapons stall. He swallowed before answering. "Lance, Spear or Trident....I think. I gotta ask my Mentor again." He tilted his head watching the other. "What caught your interest? I would think you would of stayed a merchant with your Dad."

He leaned back, letting little Laqui poke his little head out more and more. The infant chirped at Draven, sitting on Abie's knee as if begging for food. Abie wanted to see Draven's reaction...

Abie was all smiles till he heard a familiar whistle, sitting up a little. He glanced down as Laqui chewed thoughtfully on the small piece of meat it was given. Abie leaned out a bit. Then smirking looked at Draven... "Dray. I think I mentioned before that I had a Mentor...if not, then quick explanation. He's the man who saved me and my brother from a abusive master. He's a experienced Rider. He's walking down this strip now...with him is his partner and my brothers teacher. My Mentor's name is Laofay, he's pretty well known among some of the more regular merchants. Next to him is Orroi."

As Abie spoke he shifted to lean on a barrel to wave down the street. The two males walking up were impressive. The taller of the two males was a pure blood Oban. His darkly colored skin made his bright red eyes and blood red hair stand out all the more. Half of his waist length hair was weaved tightly together in several overlapping locks, the rest flowed out underneath and around his upper body in loose spirals. The complicated tribal patterns which covered his shoulders, chest and midsection were the inspiration for the ink which covered a few of Abie's own scars. Unlike most Riders however the ink was a rich sky blue, much like the twins there was a band across his eyes to help reduce Sun glare. Though Laofay's band was skinner than theirs. The male's fiery crystals were scattered among the markings. One either side of the imposing male were twin red and blue Janarim. Abie knew them well. One was the prized breeding female of his Mentor's pack, the other was her twin Brother. Laofay's personal mount.

Standing at the left side of the imposing male was a half-breed. Orroi, was high born on both sides of his heritage. Though his skin was a creamy caramel tone, his knee length hair was a rich blue. All of the male's hair was in several braids all braided back tightly together. The most standout thing about the graceful male had to of been his eyes. One eyes was a melted gold, while the other was a rich ruby. Given that. Orroi actually disliked the color of gold, so he dressed mostly in silvers, rustic reds and deep blues. Another standout thing had to of been his pale blue crystals which were scattered in a few key places.

Abie glanced to Draven. "Their a perfect match...in a sense they became our Parents...and live up to that many times."

Abie blinked as the two males stopped at another stall. "Draven. If you wanted to go back to your Dad, feel free to. I know my Mentor is sorta imposing to most people. He's even harder to get along with." the youth chuckled. "I wouldn't be upset. I know where to find you if I wanna bug ya again." he smirked. "Next time, I'll teach you a thing or two about using a weapon. Though I'm learning to use a pole-arm. Same basics."

Laqui gave a long whistle-trill. Abie looked down with a smile. "That's their family call. Its a good sign. Laqui really likes you. So...that makes two of us excited to see you again." The youth stood up, Laqui slipping back into his shirt.
