So the boy was called Barihn. Not a common name so there would be no getting him mixed up with someone else. Then he watched as the boy struggled with his hand and trying to clean it off. Visha found it kinda sweet that he was so worried about that. Of course a blush spread over his cheeks when Barihn mentioned calling him 'Pretty boy' as he circled around him again. "My name is Visha, but Pretty Boy is fine." The hybrid decided a little bit of flirting wouldn't hurt. Even though Barihn hadn't want to shake his hand Visha held his own out for the other boy in the same manner a girl would. With a dancer for a mother he tended to pick up on her graceful movements and mimicked them in his everyday life.

Barihn smiled, gently grasping Visha's hand and pressing a light kiss to his knuckles. He was different than the people he had encountered back home. His grace alone showed that. Barihn was all spindly limbs and every bit a boy of the forest. Visha was....refined. In a way he didn't think he could ever be. Pretty. "It is nice to meet you, Visha. Thank you for taking time out of your day to be with me," Barihn muttered against his hand before releasing it. While the almost dazed sound of his voice was still obvious, there was a sharpness there as Barihn became more alert in their conversation. It was almost like his thoughts had stopped wandering and finally focused in on the person before him.

His eyes widened a fraction as Barihn actually kissed his hand, even if it was light. Visha hadn't been expecting it. The blush in his cheeks seemed to stay put along with his softer smile. "Not a problem." He'd thought about making another flirty statement about the boy being found now but he thought that might be pushing it a little. He brought his hand back to himself, though he held it against his chest for a moment. "Did you still want to climb that tree?" He'd have to walk Barihn to his family's house but he didn't think his grandparents would mind so much.

Barihn perked up, eager nod making his whole form bounce. In some cases he was a bit of a simple boy, and climbing trees was something he craved constantly. The feeling of being up high always excited him, especially in an unknown place. He reminded himself that Visha had said it wasn't a very big tree, but that didn't to much to quell the excitement of learning the ways of new trees. "If you would be okay with me going to your family home," Barihn responded, rubbing at his dust covered arm.

"Sure. It's my grandparent's home. I'm staying for a few weeks since they live in the city." Visha explained as he turned with a slight nod of his head to indicate he wanted Barihn to follow. "Like I said the tree isn't big but its tall enough to climb and take a nap in I guess." The tree in the yard could reach the second floor of the house so it wasn't like it was a small branch in the ground. "Nan used to have picnics with me and my siblings under it when we were younger."

Barihn nodded and followed after Visha, watching the graceful movements of the boy with every step they took. The land around them was intriguing to Barihn. It was warmer than Tale. The heat causing his clothes to stick to him a bit more than usual. Luckily he didn't wear much to begin with, but he wondered how Visha stayed cool. Maybe he was just built different. "That sounds really nice. I'm glad to hear you have family to visit," Barihn smiled, listening to his tales. "I don't know what it's like to have siblings, but it must be fun."

He checked to make sure Barihn was walking along with him and matched his pace with the other boy. At the mention of siblings being fun he scrunched his nose up cutely. "Hardly. I have two older brothers and an older sister, then I am part of a triplet set." So he had siblings to spare. "My older sister is... difficult." That was the only word he could use to describe Brexxa. "My two older brothers aren't to bad. One lives in Jauhar with his dad but the other one visits frequently."

"That's a looooot of siblings," Barihn said in awe, closing his mouth before it hung up too long. He always wanted a younger sibling to play with and show how to hunt, but even if he had one now they wouldn't meet. Being exiled and all that had its downsides. Many downsides. "You knoooooow, maybe I do have a sibling I don't know about. Are your siblings pretty like you, or are you the prettiest? he asked curiously, bumping his shoulder lightly against his. He realized yet again how filthy he was and frowned, putting some space between them. "Sorry, sorry."

"That is a lot. And amazingly my mother is still stunningly beautiful." He grinned. Of course he got his good looks from his mother. "Oh? Why wouldn't you know about them? How long has it been since you were home?" Concern crossed over his face at that. The good looks of his family being brought up made him smile. "While I am pretty, my siblings are just as good looking if not better. Why do you think I have to put in so much effort?" He chuckled at that. The bump into his shoulder didn't bother him, but it seemed like Barihn was self conscious of touching him apparently. Visha frowned as he noted the space that was put between them. He closed it and walked with his shoulder touching the other boy's on purpose. "Hm? Sorry for what?"

"IIIIIII.....don't know. Five years? Six years? Time is a funny thing," Barihn nodded, watching Visha's shoulder bump back against his. He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, long hair getting tangled up in his fingers a moment before he dropped his hand back down. If all of Visha's family was as pretty as he was then they certainly were a stunning group. He wondered if they made heads turn wherever they went. "Mm. I don't to make you dirty. Your clothing is very nicely kept and you said you put a lot of effort into your appearance. I didn't want my filth messing that up." Barihn motioned to the thick layer of dirt and dust covering his clothing as well as the dirt caked to his feet. The lack of shoes helped him grip the trees better when he climbed, but with it came the roughening of his feet and overall dirtiness of them.

It had been that long since he'd been home? It made Visha wonder why. But those thoughts were derailed when Barihn mentioned how nice his clothes were. Of course Visha had mentioned that much earlier when the idea of climbing a tree had been brought up. Still, he didn't like that the boy seemed to become self conscious about it. So he turned so that he was in front of Barihn and facing him, blocking his way. Before the leaf boy could do anything the hybrid looped his arms around Barihn's neck and tilted his head to the side. "Dirt washes off. And you don't have any 'filth' as you put it." Visha may have just met Barihn but from what he could tell the boy wasn't bad.

Barihn blushed and rested his hands against shoulders, looking at Visha curiously. He wanted to to compliment him again, but figured that would lessen the words Visha was saying to him currently. He was a kind boy, something he didn't ever really get to experience. While mostly wandering in the solitary of the forest, he had missed this sort of contact and conversation. His voice had definitely been used more today than it had in well over a year. The only ones he spoke to before were the animals of course. "If you're certain. I just don't want to be the cause of you looking less than put together," Barihn explained, squeezing his shoulders.

He nodded his head when Barihn seemed to understand. Then Visha had to do a bit of flirting after that. "Did you have any intentions of making me look less than put together?" The implication that he might appear disheveled because of Barihn caused Visha to give a half smirk. Whether or not the leaf boy caught on would be another thing altogether. Though it had been the hybrid who had been blushing earlier he was curious to see if his current company would this time.

Barihn's smile widened a bit as he inched his face ever so slightly closer, bumping his nose against Visha's. Despite the airheaded nature of the boy, he was someone who had done far too much flirting back before he had been exiled. "I wouldn't miiiind doing that, pretty boy," Barihn drawled, fingers brushing slightly against Visha's ponytail. "If you think you can handle it," he continued to tease.

When Barihn got closer Visha wasn't sure what to expect. Certainly not the full on flirting he got back! The leaf boy was supposed to blush! Not the other way around. By now he was pretty sure the color in his cheeks was there to stay. "U-uh.. I'm sure I c-could..." Visha inwardly winced at his little stutter. Apparently this boy flustered him more than he thought.
