Welcome to Gaia! ::

Enki shakes his head a bit as he turns and bends down to pick up his naginata, spinning in once in his hand before reattaching it to his back. He stands there for a moment, Asherah to the left of him as he sighs softly and shakes his head once again, as if repeat his refusal to himself.

"No, Asherah, but thank you," he says without looking at her. He rightly couldn't now. Due to his duty, he's lost one of the only things he treasures and he's rightly not sure if it was all worth it after what he was called to do.

"I'll probably be at my home for a while anyways. I need some time to think and reflect."

He turns back to her and gives her a small nod before turning back the way he came, stopping after a single step to turn and look back at her once again, taking in the sight and not knowing when he'll get to see it again.

"If you need me, find Alexander. He'll know where I am," he says before turning again and heading back down the beach, his sash flowing behind him almost looking to be waving at her as his hair it tussled a bit in a breeze.

PIME TARADOX!

Alexander slowly walks through the market toward the docks, an small flute-like instrument in hand as he plays a somber, but uplifting tune. Tylas sits upon his shoulder, curled up with his eyes closed as he listens to Alex play, content to just relax upon his little perch on Alex's shoulder. Alex's deep, grey eyes look about a bit at the different booths and wares being sold throughout the market as he plays, casually ignoring the banter and calls of the sellers. Finally exiting the market, he comes to the main boardwalk and walks along the beach side slowly. His eyes close half-way as his body slowly sways with the tune leaving the wind-instrument, passing slowly by the main pier.

The young, red haired man stops playing as he looks down the main pier and slips the small instrument back into a pocket. As if protesting the halting of the music, Tylas let out a little whine and looks up at Alexander, his crimson eyes half-covered in tired eyes. Alex smirks slightly at the small dragonling and lightly pets him on the head before heading slowly down the pier toward a small fish restaurant located at the end that sold sushi.

"Come on, Tylas. Let's go get us something to eat, hmm?" he asks with a small grin, slowly wandering his way down the large, wooden pier.

Alex stops as suddenly a little Luck Dragon-looking creature began twisting and dancing about in the air in front of him, a mighty curious sight for anyone to suddenly see for no good reason what-so-ever. Tylas uncurls himself from Alex's shoulder and reaches out, batting at the swirling and twisting creature. He turns to the small, blue haired woman as she suddenly runs up and grabs the small creature by his tail, the young man letting out a small, light-hearted laugh as she did.

"Oh, no worries at all, Ma'am," Alexander says as he looks at her with his almost soulless grey eyes. "It was kind of cute suddenly having a little fluffy thing flying in front of me."

He then reaches up and gently pets Tylas on the head as the small, baby dragon watches the little fluffy creature with his deep red eyes, lightly batting his wings, though still not healed enough to sustain him while gliding. it was obvious the young dragonling wanted to either pounce or play with the pipe-fox.

Tylas blinks as Pipee sniffs at his nose, returning the little sniff before batting at the little floating creature. Alexander smiles to the woman and bows gracefully as he takes her hand, Tylas clinging onto his shoulder as the man kneels down and presses a small kiss to her hand.

"Alexander," he says as he stands back up with a soft smile. "Alexander Leviathan. A pleasure to meet you, Asherah."

Alexander can't help but blink a little bit as he is told that he is the person this woman has spent a good chunk of time looking for. Normally, he gets a bit wary if someone has been "looking" for him, but this one actually seems on the level, and slightly flattering.

Turning a bit back in the direction he came it, he extended his elbow, offering his arm to her as he nods his head in the direction of the end of the pier.

"Oh, no, it's quite ok. I was just going to go get some sushi," he says with a gentle smile. "You are free to join me and we can talk there, if you'd like."

Alexander smiles softly and begins heading toward the end of the peer, keeping his head forward, though his eyes gaze down at her as she speaks. Tylas watches the little fox thing before quickly scampering/slithering down Alexanders arm to Asherahs, then up to her shoulders to bat at Pipee's tail.

"Yes, I am, though we don't exactly have a bonded father/son relationship. With our travels, we don't exactly get to see each other very often."

Tylas growls playfully and reaches across behind Asherahs neck to paw at Pipee's tail, his wings flapping a bit as he did. Alexander cocks an eyebrow down at the blue haired woman as they reach the small fish stand/eatery. He offers a seat for Asherah before sitting down himself, holding his hand out to Tylas. The small dragon looks over and hops up on his arm, slithering his way quickly up to his shoulder before curling up, Alex sitting right afterwards.

He orders mahi mahi sushi and a tuna sandwich for himself before turning to Asherah.

"Order what you like. It's on me, since apparently this is a business meeting," he says with a soft snicker.

He smiles when the food is brought out and takes a piece of the mahi mahi sushi in chopsticks and holds it up to Tylas. The little dragon nimbly takes it into his mouth before holding it in his front claws and eats it slowly, purposely saving the raw fish inside it for last. Alexander then pops a piece into his own mouth and eats it before glancing over at Asherah with a slightly confused look. He, indeed, knows where to find his father if those are the words he used.

"So he's back... I heard he had to go do something important, though I'm not sure what it is," he says softly, almost contemplatively, Tylas now eating the raw yellow tuna and chipping happily.

"Why do you need to find my father, if I may ask?"
