Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I have two nephews, Aysun along with his older twin Chandra. Aysun is the more... 'wild' twin while Chandra is more like my own mate, a magic using sort that always has one book or another in hand." He glanced back at the young man for a moment, then forward once more, "The twins are sons to my only sibling, my sister Keilana, who's quite powerful and wild herself, then there is my mate and daughter, both who mean the world to me. I am hoping to take them on a trip soon." They were the reason he was working so hard, because he wanted to make sure everything was prepared for Yera before he brought them on a vacation. It was something that Jacinthus felt that he needed after so many battles that he'd gone through.

Giving a glance to the side at the young man he asked, "And yourself?" Wondering if the boy was alone, without a family, and that was why he traveling with a handful of giant beasts instead. The thought wasn't one that sat well with him since the boy looked as though he appeared to be the same age as his daughter was. He didn't want his daughter to be lonely so he found himself worried that this boy might be. A thought he brushed aside, feeling he shouldn't fret over everyone he came across, nor should he push them all toward a place where they could find a job. Were he in charge of Yera, maybe, but since he wasn't, he should try to sit on his hands as difficult as it was.

Jacinthus nodded his head, "Yeah, it really is." So long as one didn't consider the father of his nephews... that annoying guy, how he enjoyed their sparring matches if only because he got to punch that guy in the face he thought to himself idly. Shaking his head he continued forward, listening to what the boy was saying. It seemed that he was in fact alone? He tried to keep himself from talking, to keep the words to himself, but it didn't last long before he said, "Well, if you need a place to stay I am sure those of Yera can provide." Though if he stayed and Aysun arrived that would be a rather large mess of beasts roaming around, not something Jacinthus wanted to think about too hard.

He gave a little cough before he said, " Either way I will keep an eye out for any others with the same circle of stones." It must be a rare trait if it was a way of identifying his brothers he thought to himself, giving a thoughtful hum. He supposed that he could keep an eye out even if the boy decided that he wasn't going to stick around Yera for long. If he did, and Jacin spotted someone with the crystal ring, then he could send them to Yera, and if he didn't then he could send the person in the direction the Shifter had gone.


Lifting a hand Jacin said, "That is Yera up ahead, we will stop at the edge where you can see the small group gathered, unload the witu, and get to work with the butchering of the various kills."

"I wouldn't say nice per say, I just know that there are those who would benefit for having a place in Yera and people who can make Yera stronger if they stay. Hunters, healers, and the like for instance. What about you? What are you thinking of doing in the future?" He found himself asking curiously, wondering if he meant to be a rider or beast master given the mass of pets that were following along after him. Given his interesting in Aysun it might be the case since the boy was training to be a rider himself, "Aysun stops by on occasion, when he needs to resupply. It's... quite the fiasco, one that all the younglings seem to love at least."

It wasn't long before the group of them reached where Jacinthus's students were waiting, already working on the aldabuk, skinning the lot of them out. At least they had been doing so before Jacinthus, though more over Issaly and his followers, appeared. Jacinthus waved them back to work, which after a bit more starring they did. They knew the first part of the skinning process, though he would need to show them how to prepare the skins so they could turn them into either leather or blankets, depending what the group wanted to use them for.

Coming to a halt he called out to them, "We have a couple of witu to add to the pile." Turning back to Issaly he said, "I will move the witu, then you." He said, going to take the witu down from the beast's back, handing one to each student, before going to fetch Issaly next.

Jacin turned to glance at the boy, raising an eyebrow as he explained, and found himself wondering for a moment if this were some sort of set up. Was someone messing with him by sending him a young Shifter who had similar goals in life to Takoda? Surely not, it was just some sort of strange coincidence was all he decided, "My mate has some books of that nature, I can see if there are any you can borrow to read over while you recover." He said after a moment, feeling that him getting some rest would be for the best. He was no healer himself but as someone who'd been bitten by a witu in the past he knew that it could take time for such wounds to heal... and if he wanted to meet with Aysun he might be waiting for a bit anyway.

"If you need to send the beasts on their way feel free. Best that they aren't around a crowd if its not something they can handle." He didn't want his students put at risk because one of the Shifter's beasts couldn't handle attention. His students were important to him and to Yera after all and if one of the beasts went feral and tried to hurt someone he'd put the beast down without hesitation. Not something he'd voice though, not wanting to upset someone that was already injured.

Picking up Issaly once more after he'd deat with his beasts he moved him to where his students, mostly Leaf Tribe members, with a Shifter, and a mix of the two tribes waited, he said, "Alright, all of you, it's time to get to work. It's getting late as it is and we want to get this meat handed out quickly so that people will have something good and filling for dinner." He told them, giving Issaly a glance and said, "We see to it that those too young or old to hunt, those without families to help them out, are fed. Given that, save for the bite wound, you are able bodied you can help out and earn your share that way." No reason to spoil the boy just because he'd hurt his ankle.

Jacinthus gave the Oban beast a glance, watching as it went to go lay down out of the way, before turning back to Issaly once more, "Yes, we will see about setting up a meeting. I am sure that Takoda can take care of that wound of yours if you'd like? So long as he's not busy with the various students that he's been helping to teach magic to these days." He had a lot going on but maybe he'd be able to chat with Issaly a bit? Since the two did have a shared interest in herbs.

"Now, time for work." Digging into his pack before setting it aside he gave one of his two knives over to Issaly and said, "We are going to skin the witu and aldabuk, then see about butchering them out. I will be showing everything the best technique so as not to waste any of the meat. Each bit is precious after all." He said this loudly, so all his students would hear him, "First things first though, the skinning."

Once he made sure everyone had their knives, and had eyes on him, he set to work showing them how to go about the process in the swiftest, neatest way possible. The night would be a long and busy one, but worth it in the eyes of Jacinthus... and he hoped his students would feel the same.
