Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kaimi's full attention turned to Kaleo as the boy gave a little yelp sound, a look of concern appearing on his face. Had the poor thing hurt himself? A thought that had him instantly fretting since he didn't want Kaleo getting injured during a trip that Kaimi was in charge of. He'd rather keep him safe instead.

"Are you alright, Kaleo?" He asked, watching as he dug into one of the pouches at his waist, producing some wrappings that he set about putting around the scrape that he'd gotten. Or at least he was attempting to do so. It didn't appear as though the wound was anything too terrible but he was also struggling with the bandage.

Giving the best smile he could muster he said, "Here, let me." With that he set about wrapping the wound more neatly. It wasn't that he was an accomplished healer per say but he had wrapped a few wounds of his own, wanting to be as self-reliant as possible. Once he was done he asked, "Is that alright? Does it hurt? We can take a break if you need to." Maybe he was too young for such work.

"Aside from the power that I was blessed with I can't really be certain. I suppose that they would feel lighter then they look like they should, they would be hollow inside, and sometimes they rattle because the crystals within have come loose and are bouncing around inside the geode." He explained, trying to think of ways to pick out a geode without cheating in the manner that Kaimi cheated. Digging for crystals must be difficult for those that didn't have the blessing of Uukai he found himself realizing. Maybe that was why the people he traded with were always so surprised when he appeared with a new batch of crystals?

Shaking his head he said, "There is always the option of finding one that's already been broken open by some natural force as well. That helps as well... though it will need a good rinsing out since those ones tend to fill with mud."

Giving a smile he continued to dig until his fingers brushed against the thing they were seeking. Lifting up the crystals that were still attached to their matrix he said, "Ah! Here's a nice one. It's very blue." He shook the crystals a bit to help rinse them off the mud that still clung to them before holding it out for Kaleo to see.
