Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Hide and seek? Not really... if only because when I was little I was too scared to play a game like that. I much preferred to stick close to my family so I was pretty bad at that game." He said with a little smile. As she asked if he had sister he nodded his head, "Yeah, I have two sisters, Jhana and Shima, they are quite wonderful, very strong and brave, especially compared to me." He wished that he had their strength, especially Shima who appeared as though she was afraid of nothing.

As the big snaptrotter came closer, sniffing Subira down to make sure she was alright, he gave a smile. The beast was very protective, just as Bruin could be, which was a good thing. It was always good to have a beast there at one's side to help keep an eye out for danger. He supposed that she probably didn't have to worry too much though, not when her mother was nearby as well. Not to mention that they were in town at the moment which was an added layer of security for the youngling.

Jerami gave a nod of his head, "They are older then me by a little bit of so I gather. Our lotuses all bloomed on the same day, one after the other, and revealed the lot of us." From what he gathered it wasn't something that happened often, triplets. His mothers had been blessed by Aisha just as Drexl's fathers had been, a grand couple of blessings that happened near to one another or so he would guess since he and Drexl were fairly close in age.

"Sisters can be fun... though at times I worry that I can't quite keep up with them." As she mentioned Jerami being her sister he couldn't help but to smile. It sounded nice, but would she feel the same when Jerami's path became that of an Earthling instead of an Alkidike? He couldn't really say but he hoped that it wouldn't be as bad as it could have been, the zealots that disliked people like him had been sent away after all. Maybe... maybe he was worrying over nothing? He could hope so at least.

Giving her a smile he said, "I don't mind keeping you company when I can... as for hooking our moms up I don't believe it would work. My mom is already with someone else after all." He wasn't sure which of his mothers the little one might be referring to but he'd guess she meant his Alkidike mother?

Jerami gave a nod of his head, "Yeah, I'm sure that Aisha does." There in lay his biggest worries, but it wasn't something that he wanted to think on too hard right now. He wanted to enjoy the time with Subira since talk with her was a nice, refreshing change of pace. He felt that the biggest thing he would miss about not going on the path of an Alkidike was the chance at maybe being able to have a lotus of his own in the future... but there were many other ways to have little ones he supposed.

"Hm? Oh! Well, they are just far more boisterous then I am. My sister Shima especially. I see her going on grand adventures one day that I could only dream of." He wondered if maybe she'd let him tag along? If he did go the path of a magic user he'd be able to use the powers to heal her and keep her safe after all.

As Subira asked him about if she could keep him as a friend he smiled and said, "If you would have me." He didn't mind having Alkidike friends, both those of full blood and otherwise as was the case with Drexl and his family. The more friends the merrier no matter where they came from was the way that Jerami looked at it.

Jerami gave a little chuckle, "Ahh... let's see... it means excitable. Shima is definitely that." He said, giving a little smile as he thought about his sister who wanted to go to all manner of dangerous places. Oba first, and more recently it was the dead forest she was obsessed with. If it meant keeping her safe he would learn magic so he could tail her when she went to such places.

"Keep me forever, huh? That is nice of you to think you would want to keep me so long as your friend." He told her before he glanced over at Bruin, giving a little smile, "Well, how about I keep Bruin, you keep me, and Maty keeps you?" Along line of one being kept by the other... and Bruin just being in charge of everything! At least that was what Jerami was sure the bird would be thinking at least.

"Your mother sounds like a very smart woman." Jerami said, glad to hear that she was learning such good lessons from her mother. The more people who thought in that manner and were accepting of those who were of mixed heritage were needed in the world. It might mean that one day people wouldn't have to worry about being seen as strange just because they were different. Giving her a smile he said, "You should hold that lesson close to your heart, Subira since it's a very important one."

Giving a little laugh he gave a nod, "Feathers care be quite ticklish." He agreed as he reached out, petting Bruin's head, finding the feathers to be quite soft but he also knew that they could be ticklish as well. Giving Subira's hair a glance he smiled, "Ohhh, is that why you don't wear them? Well, there are other pretty things to wear. I've seen really pretty rings that some sisters wear in their hair or pretty rings that dangle from the bottom of them. So you needn't worry that you can't wear the feathers."

Lifting a hand up he rand his finger tips through his flowing hair for a moment before he said, "I' not sure actually. I can't exactly do the bands since my hair refuses to stay in dreadlocks. My mother said she tried to do our hair when we were little but it was just too fine and refused to cooperate... feathers might work though." They didn't require the dreads after all and even if he was unable to walk the path of an Alkidike he could at least wear feathers in his hair. Provided of course that everything went smoothly going forward.

"I might go with the feathers so long as I can find some really pretty ones. I hear that the firebirds of Sauti have the prettiest feathers... so maybe I should look for one of those?" It might be a bit tough since he'd never been to Sauti but maybe someone in the marketplace knew where he might be able to find a firebird feather? If not one of those then some brightly colored kinfa feathers, perhaps?

Jerami gave a nod of his head at the mention of the firebirds being the one that had saved a mystic in the past. Giving a bright smile he said proudly, "It was my uncle that went to get the feathers from Sauti! Not that he brags about such things... he's not really that sort of person, but still, I think it's neat that he was able to see the birds up close! Not to mention that he was able to get their help to save a life." He was sure many people only dreamed of being able to do such a thing in their life time.

Giving a nod of his head Jerami said, "Yeah, I never saw the one that was saved by the firebirds either." He had no idea what had happened to her, it seemed to be a topic nobody talked about. He wondered if maybe she'd passed on and that was why a new mystic had been born from Aisha. Not a thought that he wanted to consider though so he steered the conversation back to avian once more, "I will let you know if I come across any of the feathers and try to get one of them for you if you'd like."

Jerami nodded, "I hope that I am able to do something even half that wonderful in my life." He wasn't sure if he would be able to but it was something that he wanted to at least try. To be able to help others sounded as though it would be a most wonderful way to spend his time... especially given the magical gift he'd been given. It was either a blessing or a curse, he wasn't really sure yet, but it was something that he felt he could use moving forward. Magic could be used to save others after all and that was what he wanted to use it for if at all possible.

Giving a smile Jerami said, "Well, I will do my best to find you one and maybe figure out a way you can enjoy the feather without it trying to tickle you." He wasn't quite sure yet how to go about that but he'd see what he could do.
