Welcome to Gaia! ::

When Leax had seen the man with the touch for Banya the night before, he had made it a point to note the appearance of the man's wagon. This morning, while Vanna napped with Lorelei, Leax hurried to his wagon, knocked on the door.

He greeted Taniel with a smile. They talked for a few minutes.

Five minutes later, Leax exited the wagon with a big smile and a present for Lorelei - a beautiful Fire breed Banya. Vanna would love her too, Leax was sure.

Taniel watched from the door to his wagon, smiling as well. The way Leax had talked about Lorelei for the few moments they spoke of her had left an impression. The other man was clearly infatuated - for the time being. Taniel shook his head slightly, wonderingly, and then went back into his wagon shop.

Taniel opened the door, looking at the girl with a kind smile. There were three Banya visible behind him: two chicks, and the Banya that she had seen last night.

"Why, hello there, again! What brings you here today, hm?"

Taniel took the notepad and quickly read the message. Then he handed it back to her, stepping aside and motioning for her to enter. "Go right ahead. I'm sure they're longing for new company. The two babies hatched about a week ago. Both are male, one's a Fortune breed and one's a Sea Loam. The negative looking one... well, he's mine. He's a Snow Crested."

The Sea Loam baby boy squeaked, then fluffed his wings a little. He watched Rojiza closely with large eyes, squirming when her hand brushed his top plume.

"He's a little touchy for a Sea Loam," Taniel said, after a moment, watching the interaction of the two.

"Ah, I see. In my experience, Sea Loams are aloof, but generally easy to deal with. This one can easily misbehave, compared to the other Sea Loams I've raised."

As if to punctuate Taniel's point, the chick nipped at Ro's fingers, then hopped away a little. Apparently, it had had enough of being the center of attention.

"Yes, he is," Taniel said, nodding. "Not quite old enough to produce money, yet, but almost there. Banya chicks rarely tell fortunes or do much of anything except look cute. But after a few weeks, they grow into their own."

And he did like the attention, pushing his head up against her hand much like a cat would. A very needy cat.

DeArca stopped his wagon a ways, taking a stroll towards this strange and beautiful attraction. When his eyes set on the Banya Birds, he was amazed at what he had seen. "They are all incredible!" He said. Ash watched and waved at the little bird chicks, giggling. He held his tail in his hands because he was told not to touch anything, like a good boy. DeArca had his eye on a beautiful yellow chick which was an awesome color....like bright sunshine just beyond the trees. He turned to the shopkeeper and crouched down a bit. "Excuse me, sir? Is this little chick here up for sale?"
