Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Okay." That seemed fair. They had been out a while and someone was bound to come looking for her at some point. The first place she went when she climbed down from Xun's back was the river. She settled herself on the edge and ran her fingers over the surface of the water, disturbing a few of the fish that lingered nearby. She looked back over her shoulder, grinning and nodded in answer to his question. That would be fun!

In the meantime there was the matter of these interesting looking fish. She turned back to the water and continued to watch them. "Do you know what any of these are called?"

<Oh.> Clever fish! How could they possibly remember where they were born though? She could not even remember that, but then again she did not remember a lot of things from a long time ago. The matron at the house she stayed sometimes said that was normal. The important bits stayed put while the rest was washed away.

Asedri reached over to touch the scales on one of his forelegs again while her other hand remained in the water. They almost felt the same. Strange. "Do all dragons feel like water?" She had no way of knowing that the trait was probably unique to Xun and so the question was asked. Curious mouse and all.

Xun is for water, like Taj is for secrets. It made sense. He would no doubt notice the thoughtful expression and the nod when she seemed to have worked out something for herself. "How many brothers do you have?" It seemed the next logical question, since Lifewater had mentioned them. Hopefully he could think of something to distract her with once he got tired of the questions.

Curious mouse was very curious.

Blue eyes went a bit wide at his answer. That was a big family! Must have been a handful for their parents...if god dragons even had parents? None of the other gods she had met seemed to have parents after all, except maybe Akakios. The tiny blue haired goddess had been fussing over him like a parent might.

Ti Lung. That did not sound like any language she had ever heard before. She tried to sound out the words in her head and puzzle out their meaning. Coming up with nothing she decided it better just to ask. "Ti Lung? What does that mean?"

<Oh.> Asedri sat up, her attention was more on Xun than the river before them now. She fussed with her skirt a bit before leaning back against his tail. It had never occurred to her ten year old brain to think of it quite like that. She had reasoned that the gods were just as different from one another as ordinary people were. The fact that they each literally were what they represented explained a good deal. It seemed that Lifewater had given her something to think about and thus had gained a bit of a reprieve from her line of questioning.

The Mouse pondered on what she had learned a while longer before looking over at Xun again. "We should probably go back." It had been a while and Saljin was bound to be looking for her by now. Hopefully he would not be too upset when she did finally get back.
