Welcome to Gaia! ::

Giving a nod of his head he said, "If I have to use the beast against you I will. I can always buy her off with vegetable scraps it would seem. She's a good girl for that and I am grateful for her aid in making you behave." He said as he moved to fetch some bread that they had gotten recently, breaking a piece off to look it over. It still looked good, maybe a little dried out, but it would get fixed once they dumped some of the stew on it he thought to himself.

Turning to look at his sister he said, "I'm glad to hear that you're getting better. One of us might as well continue to sharpen our fighting skills." He'd given up such things but Tyr seemed as though she wanted to keep at it. Having a teacher such as Duarte would help her out a lot in that manner. At the same time he did want her to be more careful and not just get into street fights since it would make things more difficult going forward for her when she wanted to get a legit job.

"Anything complicated? The first thing being that pregnant women can be scary. I'm also still working on learning to give stitches. I was made to buy so cloth so I could practice on that. My stitches are starting to get pretty neat and even, so that is going well. Strangely those two lessons came a bit hand in hand as the pregnant woman tossed something at her boyfriend and he ended up needing stitches."

Giving a sigh as he heard the commotion the averin was making he turned around, starring at Tyr, and said, "I told you that you needed to sit down, remember? At least one of you listens." To reward Piper he tossed a small piece of the bread to her. Animals really were useful, weren't they? Always quick to learn and follow orders in a way that a lot of people weren't. His sister especially at the moment was doing everything she could to keep from behaving herself.

"I think I am, though I am not where near as good as Doctor Forthus is. It's going to take me years before I am able to get anywhere close to that." Maybe after he'd gotten a good distance along with his training then he'd feel more ready to tell his parents as well. Something he was kind of scared to even think about. Looking over at his twin he found himself starring, then gave a sigh, "Unless it's a really bad person try to avoid punching them in such a place, it doesn't go over well. I'd rather you didn't really hurt anyone that much unless they really, really deserved it."

Walking over to the table he set down a trio of plates, two small ones with bread on it and a third for Piper with some other scraps they didn't need. He then returned to stir the stew, lifting a spoon full up to sip at it, testing the vegetables, "I think it's almost ready." After that he considered her last question, giving a bit of a chuckle, "Would you believe me if I said she took off her shoe and threw it?"

"There is going to be a lot for me to learn before I am anywhere close to as good as he is but I think that it's going well." Slowly, perhaps, but well. At least in his own mind. After a moment he set to dishing up bowls of the stew that he'd prepared, carrying it over, placing the bowl that was filled near to the brim with stew in front of Tyr first, "Here you are, get to eating. You will need to eat to promote healing and stamina from all the fights you get into."

He returned to then dish up food for himself, "The bread needs dipped in the stew to absorb the broth, it will be a little less tough that way. Finish all of it, the bread I mean, because it will need to be tossed out or given to Piper otherwise." The little averin would be useful as a means of getting rid of old food, huh? Save for what was tossed out back to make compost for their plants he'd give what he could to the beast.

After everything was doled out he came to settle down in his seat across from his sister and started to eat.

"Thank you." Here was to hoping that all his studying paid off and that their mother didn't throw a huge fit over him wanting to do something that was outside of the normal task that their family did. If she wanted someone to follow in her footsteps she could always have another child... though he'd rather she didn't, certain that he and Tyr would end up looking after the little one more often then not.

At the mention of the bird he gave a nod of his head and between bites said, "So long as she can carry her own weight I don't mind her hanging out. I doubt our mother would care either since she is rarely around." It was mostly the two of them that had to lay down rules for themselves most days. He continued with the stew, finishing his portion and bread off pretty quickly, as well as seconds, before he got to his feet again, "I'm going to start on the dishes, after that I will be studying for a while. I suggest you get cleaned up and head to bed early so you can sleep it off."

He knew he was being a bit bossy but given Tyr's condition he felt it only right that he order her around, at least until she was feeling better. With that he set to gathering the dishes up so that he could clean them all out, wanting them to be ready for tomorrow.
