Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Alright, I will let them know. We will want to let Isa and Shay meet with your beasts, to let them meet. After that I'm sure they will be fine with the pair sinc ethey are so used to babysitting for me when I go places my slower beasts can't." He had some that were slower, older, and needed more protecting them others. It was the way of nature that such creatures got picked off. Something Aysun didn't want to allow.

At the question about money he gave a thoughtful sound then said, "We should leave some money with them, yes. So that they can make sure your babies are kept well fed."

Aysun turned to Issaly when the younger man took told of his hand, starring at him for a moment, then nodded slowly, "I... yeah. The letter was unexpected but not unwelcome. I'm... not used to dealing with a lot of people, in fact I tend to avoid them, but I... I want you to be the exception." He flushed a bit as he spoke, certain that his words weren't exactly the most romantic but he wasn't exactly good at the whole romance thing. He felt it would be something he'd have to figure out as he went.

Aysun looked down at Ullyee who had tagged Issaly before looking back at him, "You just got back from your travels, you should probably take a rest. I don't want you to exhaust yourself on another trip, especially one that will bring us as far off as Zena is." He'd never been himself but he had been studying some maps to figure out how best to get to the snowy lands.

Giving a smile he said, "Come on, I will show you where I am staying. It's not far off from here. After the bug mages... you did hear about them? After them we had to move into Yera because my family wouldn't leave me on my own. It should be alright for me to travel if I have others with me." He turned to lead the way, back to the house he'd been staying in, one with a makeshift stable for the beasts to stay in that were to big to get into the tree house, "Your beasts can stay in there with mine. We will head inside now."

He headed up the ladder into the house, with Sunshine flying up to land on the roof.

"It's alright, simple. A place to stay until we are allowed to move around in the manner we prefer." He said, glancing around the place. He was never one to be stuck like this, in a village, with other people. He much preferred being out and about, off in the wild, camping on his own with just the beasts to keep him company... and sometimes Issaly. A thought that had him considering Issaly in a new light. He really did like having him around, didn't he? It was something that was comfortable. Not to mention that he'd waited to run off to Zena until he came back in fact.

He turned to look at his friend, eyes going a little wide, and asked, "Sleeping with me?" Wait, what? He gave a slight shake of his head and said, "I think it's a bit soon... isn't it?" Or did Issaly not see a reason to wait? A thought that had Aysun's head spinning a little bit.

Giving a sighing sound of relief he said, "I... alright, good. I mean, not good that we won't be doing that but like... good because it might be too soon." He said, lifting a hand to scratch it against his scruffy cheek. He hadn't meant to imply that the idea of sleeping with Issaly wasn't a good thing. It was more that he wasn't really ready for any of it. It wasn't something he had much experience with and therefore he didn't want to get himself in over his head too fast.

Shaking his head he said, "I... just sleeping, that's fine. I mean it's not like it's the first time we've done so. We've napped together in the past so it's not much different. Just... different time of day." And likely a longer sleep session but still, same sort of thing. Lifting a hand he rested it on Issaly's head, ruffling his hair, "I'm sorry... I just, mistook what you meant and don't want to rush this."

Aysun found himself starring for a moment as Issaly undid his hair, releasing a lot of long braids, and without thinking about it he reached out to catch hold of one of them. After giving it a playful little tug he realized what he was doing and released his hold on his friend, "Huh? Oh, yeah... I have a hammock over here. It's a big one and I'm sure that we can share it. It might mean making sure Volos sleeps on his own bed though."

He moved to scoop the clingy beast off of Issaly, putting him on one of the branches of the tree house they were in. The serpent gave a little hiss before wrapping around the branch in a lazy manner, relaxing there, leaving Aysun to show Issaly where the hammock was located. It was one that could fit two people, bought purposefully since he was so used to some of the beasts invading his sleeping space. The worst about it was Volos though Sinnika was pretty bad too. The radaku had recently learned to climb up the ladder and had started getting into bed with him.

"I will warn you now that the hammock might get invaded. If that happens I apologize."

Aysun starred as Issaly climbed into the hammock, looking a bit as though he'd somehow caught himself a mermaid with a net or something. He starred for a long moment before he shook his head to clear his thoughts, "I will be careful not to get tangled up in it." He said as he shed what he didn't neat of his armor and moved to lay down with Issaly. It was something that he did in a very careful manner so as not to pull on any of his friend's hair.

"Phew, made it." He murmured, wrapping an arm around Issaly, pulling him over so that the smaller boy could curl up to his side. Once they were comfortable he said, "Get some rest, Issaly. Once you're well rested you should tell me more about your trip and we should plan our own trip more."
