Takoda - Post 1 There was a bit of guilt being here, after all he should be in Jahaur celebrting right? But his family was here or at least most of his family was here and it seemed odd to be so joyful when so many things were going on. So he felt guilty like he didn't earn the right to celebrate with the others and he still felt bad about sneaking off to join the tournament without Jacinthus. He had expected his mate to be angry with him and he had been but there was more of a sense of relief that he was back and safe. Hugging himself he looked about the vendors waiting for his mate to come find him. It felt weird being here. But he was doing this for his family. Takoda looked up at he heard foot steps approach him giving a small smile as he reconized the archer immediately. "Are you sure its okay for me to be here? This is your peoples celebration.."

Korra - Post 1 So...this place looked vaguely familiar and yet not she had slowed down when approaching the small town that looked like a grand festival or trades of was going on. Nixav the radaku was at her side, lingering back from the town as if hesitant to go in with her. The radaku had rejoined with her after she had left the town in Jahaur, it seemed intent on making sure that the girl didn't get even more lost or in trouble with some of the more dangerous creatures in the jungle. She had managed to nudge Korra in the direction of this village, but seemed...unsure if she should leave. "Come on Nixav, you don't have to wait back there...come with me. I am sure you brought me even closer to home." Korra managed with a warm smile towards the creature. Although Nixav was very much a wild animal, its maternal instincts seemed to bond her to the girl. Like a small pup Nixav was concerned about Korra's ability at getting lost very easily. Stepping into the town Korra looked about, there sure were a lot of people here...perhaps she will run into someone she knew. Maybe they would know her parents. Trying not to be too hopeful she took a stride forward hoping for the best. orpheus solon If you want Jacinthus to spot her now you can <3

Jacinthus - 2 Turning to glance toward his mate who was looking a bit unsure of himself Jacinthus said, "Of course it's alright for you to be here. You've been living in Tale a lot longer then some of those among the Leaf Tribe have. There is no reason why you shouldn't be allowed to be here." And if anyone tried to say otherwise they would end up dealing with a very unamused Jacinthus. Not that he should be thinking about challenging random people that for the time being only existed in a made up scenario. Instead he meant to enjoy himself. "Come on Takoda. I think the two of us should..." His words sort of trailed off, with Jacinthus being struck for a moment silent in a manner that was very out of character for the normally confident man. Instead fo continuing on with whatever it was about to say he was just starring for a moment before he finally lifted a hand to rub it against his eyes. Once he was through with that he looked toward the direction he'd been starring in... and then he was rushing forward, "Takoda, with me." With those words he hoped that his mate would follow as he started forward, darting his way through the crowd, over toward where a prentice was standing, and once he was close enough he scooped her up off her feet and into his arms, giving her a crushing hug. Jacinthus was awe struck, as well as excited, it seemed as though Korra had finally made her way home... well, home-ish. This wasn't Yera but at least she'd found them, right? Better late then never too though instead of saying that Jacin drew back, looked down at her, and said, "You really need to stop getting lost Korra... what are we to do with you but get you a leash and a lot of bells?" The latter of which he actually had for her in one of the pouches he wore.

Aysun - Post 3 Aysun gave a smile, glad to hear that Issaly had found his brother. Not only had he found the guy but it seemed as though that brother was going to help to find the rest of their missing family. He gave a smile as he lifted a hand up to ruffle his hair, "I am glad to hear it, I hope that you're able to team up and find the others." He wouldn't admit it but he was a little sad. He knew it was selfish to think so, but he'd enjoyed his time with Issaly... but soon he'd be gone, huh? Off to Oba with his brother to find his other brothers. Aysun would be staying in the Tale and Jauhar area, wanting to keep an eye on Chandra, to make sure that his brother was alright, not wanting to risk leaving him on his own for now. Instead of worry about the fact that Issaly would be leaving he would focus on the present. Giving a smile he said, "I'm glad to hear that your magic is starting to help you out. I was worried that your leg might still be giving you issues. It good to hear that it's getting better. That means that you will be fine to join me in walking around, playing games, and finding something tasty to eat. I think the best aldabuk there is to be had is made in Tale."

Takoda- Post 2
He wasn't sure if he felt better about being here, but Jacinthus had said it was alright. It just felt more like a business meeting than a festival. There were games yes and lots of vendors, but looking around he had to wonder if the people of Tale had a god or goddess they raised prayer to. Trying not to sigh, he made a note to offer a prayer to his own goddess when they got back home.
Ready to move he slowed when it seemed that the archer was being distracted. Giving pause and looking around trying to spot whatever it was that was causing the man to trail off in his speech. Suddenly he was pushing through the crowds of people, requesting that Takoda follow in suit. Surprised he tried to keep up but Takoda wasn't the more forceful person out there so he ended up lagging behind.
"E..Excuse me, Pardon me.." He managed breathlessly as he pushed through to suddenly find Jacinthus hugging a small framed woman so hard he actually lifted her up in the air. His owns eyes widened at the sight, it was their adopted daughter Korra. Tears welled up in his eyes and he rushed in to join the family hug.
"OH Korra! I tho...thought we'd never find you." Takoda managed through choked words, his arms trying to wrap around the other side of Korra like he was trying to make a sandwhich with the girl in the middle.

Korra - Post 2
The young girl had been about to wander off again, her mind concerned with the familiarity and yet unfamiliar scene. She recognized Tale but not this village exactly, maybe if she asked around some one would know her parents and be able to tell her where to go from here. Though with her luck even if she received such information she would probably end up going the opposite direction of home.
Nixav looked uncomfortable with all these people around and in fact though she was trying to keep tabs on the girl the overwhelming desire to go back to the forests of Jahaur was rising. Or at least hide out on the edge of town anyway... Raising her head she smelt something...something familar. It was a scent that was carried on her girl when they first met...and thus it meant...her family must be coming. Slinking away the radaku felt her guidance was no longer needed for the moment and went to hide on the edge of the village.
Korra however didn't notice Naxiv's disappearance too focused on the crowd before her and then suddenly she was caught up in the tightest embrace she had ever experienced. It felt like all the air was being rushed out of her lungs and she gave a mild sound of pain as well a grunt. Looking down as she had been lifted in the air she stared for a moment in awe it was one of her fathers Jacinthus, giving a squeal she threw her own arms around...well the only thing she could reach which was his head.
"Daddy!!" Korra managed to choke out, she then felt arms wrapping around her other side, the sound of her Ma Ta's voice and she felt whole again. All the weight on her shoulders seemed to slip again, she had been keeping stiff upper lip and being brave about being seperated from her family for so long, but now that she was back with them she couldn't help but burst into her own tears trying to hug both men as best as she could in the position she was in.

SATHE Post 3
The man in front of her took the blame and she shrugged it off. It really wasn't all of his fault, but no use in arguing forever over it. "No, my basket is still empty for now." she said with a light laugh. Of course, it wouldn't be for long, she had planned on some serious shopping during this trip out to Vers.
"I was actually." she answered his question. He seemed to have something on his mind, and then his second part to the question finally made its way out in the open. "Oh, well, I'm not terribly knowledgable, but I could possibly help if there was something you needed?" Really it was Aminah who knew more about all the plants and herbs. She would have been much better prepared to help the water earthling, but she was with her own family in Jauhar, so he would have to settle for Sathe.

Issaly- Post 3 Issaly shrugged. "We didn't make any plans. He said he had leads on a few here and there." Issaly looked aorund. "I don't have any plans to leave Tale yet...seems there's a few around here I can look for." he looked back to the male. Taking the other's hand. "So...I guess your stuck with me for a little longer." he chuckled. "If your okay with that..." As the youth heard the other's recommendation he nodded. "Sounds interesting, perhaps something we could save to take to the meat eaters in our little respected packs, eh?" he suggested with a small shrug.

Jacinthus - Post 3 Jacinthus hugged onto Korra tightly, looking as though he were quite unwilling to let her go. Instead just holding onto her even after Takoda arrived and joined in the hugging. It went on for a moment until finally, very reluctantly, he set her down on her own two feet. Once she was there he starred at her for a long moment, brushing back some of her messy hair, "You're a hard one to find, Korra, even for someone with my tracking abilities. Is it really necessary for you to climb every tree and scale every rock you find?" It were almost as though she was trying to hide her tracks from them, though he doubted that was something she'd actually do. Taking a half step back, but keeping her in his eye line, he dug into his pouches and got out the fancy jingling necklace and leather wrist band with the little bells on it, and proceeded to put them on her, "There, now we will hopefully be able to keep track of you better. I don't think my heart would be able to take it if we lost you again, Korra." Shaking his head he then lifted a hand, pushing back his hair and scrubbed at his eyes, wanting to hide all evidence that he might have gotten a little misty eyed. No way to continue to appear as tough and unbending if one got all teary eyed over things he thought to himself.

Araie Post 1
"It's so nice being out and about again. Even my arm is starting to feel a bit better!" Araie smiled as she affectionately nudged Dezani with her good arm. It wasn't a lie, that was for sure. After catching up with Eziya at the tournament and traveling to Tale with Dezani at her side, her mood had been at an all time high for the past several days. The only thing that was making her slightly nervous was the mental reminder that Dezani's father had expressed an interest in meeting her, and she still wasn't quite sure how to process that information. She wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but for the moment, she was more focused on enjoying herself and having a good time with her friend.

Dezani Post 1 "After the tournament and everything else, it is nice to be traveling safely again. My father would definitely agree as well. He's been wanting me to come home and bring you along for a while," Dezani replied, ruffling the short woman's hair. He was glad to be back in Tale, even if only for a little bit. It had been a while and he was sure his father would be pleased to see them both. "Is there anything you'd like to do while we're here? I wasn't sure if you'd ever been to another festival or not."

Vers
The meeting between the chieftains had officially started and the crowd got just a little quieter in respect for their meeting. Not to say they weren't still having a good time of their own. The people in Vers still perused the vendors, buying trinkets and things of use, while others made multiple trips to the food stalls.
Many of the people wondered what it really was that the chieftains talked about while they were in their private meetings. And there were some rumors going around that they were actually talking about the cases of missing people that seemed to be spring up in random places. The gods knew that Tale was missing some people and they really weren't sure where they went.
But as the day wore on, it was getting closer to the end of the meeting and the bonfires and dancing would commence once the meeting was finished. Many of the people were just waiting for the dancing and drinking to start.

Aysun - Post 4 Aysun gave a smile as he moved to walk along with his friend, "It's good to hear that you are going to be about... erm, not that I don't want you seeking them out or something. Just... you know..." He waved his free hand, seemingly struggling with the right words. He wasn't really all that good with people so coming up with the 'right' words was never the easiest of challenges to overcome. Giving a smile he said, "I don't think that 'stuck' would be the right word though... stuck would imply I don't like you around." One of his ears gave a twitch, with him turning to glance at a group that went by, a group who were talking about people who were... going missing? He'd have to check in with his family members for sure, to make sure that everyone was alright. Glancing to Issaly again he said, "Might be best that you aren't leaving quite yet if those rumors are true. Maybe it would be best if I delivered you to your other brothers before you decide to head out?" At least that way he would know that he was alright, right? He supposed they wouldn't know the truth of the situation until the meeting of the chiefs was over with. Giving a glance around he wondered for an idle moment if either of his uncles might actually be in the meeting. He didn't see them straight away, but that didn't mean anything as there were a lot of people about.

Issaly- Post 4 The smaller male didn't hear what the passing group said, his attention was drawn to the fact that he felt someone grab his rear end in passing. Blushing the shifter turned to catch a retreating hand. Finding none he grumbled before scooting closer to Aysun. Great. Issaly looked back to the bigger male. "Well, I like being around you." he smiled softly. Then squeaked again. "Oh for---" he needed a guard for his hidequarters it seemed like.

Takoda Post 3 The shifter still couldn't believe his eyes, they were back together again as a family and he felt such an immense sense of relief flood through him. Even as Korra was put back down he couldn't help but take ahold of her hand as if making sure she didn't vanish all over again. "We were so worried about you! Where have you been?" Takoda pressed watching as Jacinthus proceeded to give Korra the necklace he had gotten made for her. With the little bells it surely would be easier to keep track of her right?
