Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh really? He remained stretched out as he looked over with interest. "Dang, you believe enough to bet on it? Guess I can't turn that down."

The earnest reply struck him with surprising sharpness. He had always been content enough with his abilities. He understood what he could and couldn't do and was fine leaving it that way. Was the truth really that he had been telling himself he couldn't? His expression softened and he reached out to gently swat Aerexa's arm. "Hey, you're going to make me feel bad. I appreciate that you'd want me to come. ...Maybe ask me again when you're ready to go?"

Lioe frowned slightly, but gave a small nod. "I will..." Seriously, him go on a sea adventure? The shove managed to get a chuckle out of him. Well, he had never imagined he would be living away from Tale, much less another continent! Crazier things had happened...

Ah, but now this was something much more tangible! He lit up at the prospect of sharing more book learning. "Sure! The shop has all different levels of reading so there's something for every step of the way." Hmm.. "Maybe you could teach me a little Vandrean as well?" He wasn't sure when he would ever need it, but it wouldn't hurt to learn!

Lioe snorted and raised a hand to his forehead as though he were already confused. "I don't know. There's only so much learning a guy can do." It was one of the few things Lioe enjoyed most in life... Even if it did turn out to be complex, he would love the work all the more.

"Sounds like a plan."
