Welcome to Gaia! ::

That was not what he had expected her to say. Serr chuckled as she looked over his hands like he was the one with magic, wiggling his fingers when she had completed her inspection.

"I could try." He had no doubt that he could teach her to steal from her father, considering the man would be in his own home and not looking for someone to take something from right under his nose, but actual thievery was another story altogether. "We can work on it in Iory. While we're exploring all the caves and treasures." He knew she was probably half kidding, but it would be fun to see what she could do with the lessons he'd been giving the kids.

"We won't know what to do with all our pretty things."

"A home," he repeated with another nod. He'd always felt like escaping the ones he'd had in the past, but Eziya knew him better than anyone. She wouldn't mind if he spent half a day climbing a tree to the very top, as long as he didn't die and they had enough food for supper that night. "Yes. If we see somewhere we like. A place for all our trinkets." He didn't really want to give any away, not if they had a whole space to fill, but maybe one or two could go to the kids they'd met. Some of them had been a lot of fun. Easier than snapptrotters, at least.

"I'll teach you anything you want to know. And I'll try to learn, too." If he could sit still for an hour, tracking the patterns of movement that made his marks easier to rob, he could probably wrap some bandages too. He just had to try.

"Yeah! It can go above the door. Unless we take something huge." The thought of a massive plate or clock falling on them as they came in from a long day kept him smiling. Serr stood a little straighter, about to add something that was definitely about beds, when an older wind woman shuffled close and smiled.

"We'll be in Iory soon, dears. See?" She pointed at the shallow stone outcroppings on both sides of the path ahead. "The rocks are a sure sign. I hope you've enjoyed traveling with us."

She moved on quickly after that, and Serr got the idea that was her job: telling their temporary companions they had almost arrived. He raised his brows at Eziya and asked, "Are you ready to start exploring?"
