She gave a groan. "Yea but.. I wasn't thinking about them like that before and now I am." Lifting her head up off the table she'd let out a breath and just shake her head at him. "I'm supposed to meet Chandra's uncle in a few days and you have me thinking on whether or not I like him in that way." Not to mention Dezani. Syqvara would roll her eyes slightly before she sat up straight so that she could eat. "Thank you for cooking." A soft smile to her twin to let him know she really did mean it. He'd made her favorite food, even though he'd put carrots in it.

Smiling Cyn took a carrot and speared it with his fork then proceeded to bite it in half with a snap. "Just means you didn't think of the possibility, and now your head should be more clear. It's best to clearly define where you stand with them, and where they stand with you. Plus, if the Chandra chap has a gal he's going after you gettin all love struck with him will cause problems for both of you. Wouldn't want to lose one of ya friends would ya?" The male twin slowly picked at his food, making sure to watch Syqvara eat. That way she couldn't try and hide the carrots, or pass them off to him. "Know what I mean?"

She first pushed her food around on the plate before she stabbed a few veggies so she could eat them. Her brother was right. Chandra had someone he liked already so she needed to make sure she didn't end up liking him in that way. As she chewed she seemed to come to the conclusion that she could keep him as a friend. "I like him as a friend. He's going to introduce me to his uncle. He's a monk but he dislikes fighting. So I have questions." Even Cyn would be able to see the appeal for her. While she knew she needed to learn to fight, especially now that she had failed to even defend her home, she still had the dislike for such actions. Syqvara wanted to know how someone dealt with those feelings.

"It's good to have boundaries, make sure he doesn't cross em or he'll find an arrow in his back." Though a serious statement, Cyn kept his tone light as if he were joking. "Why would you have questions? You intending to become a monk?" The idea of his sister as monk didn't sit well with Cyn. It just didn't fit her. He understood that she wanted to do more, but he wasn't too sure taking huge steps was the best choice for her. Maybe their mother had rubbed off on him more than he realized.

Another bite, this one with a carrot, and she seemed to chew quickly. Either to answer her sibling or to get the orange vegetable down. "No, not a monk. A shaman. I... I want to help people. Show them that fighting isn't the only way." Sy expected her brother to tell her that she should become a healer, something she'd already thought of, but it didn't fit with what she wanted. Taking another bite she'd stare at her plate almost as if waiting to be laughed at. Her fork pushed the food around on the plate a bit more before she lifted her eyes to look at her twin.

"War is a part of nature, it's what the mortal races do to show dominance, power, or just for fun. You'll have a long road ahead of you if you plan to prevent fighting. Are you prepared to walk that long and winding road?" After taking a carrot from his plate and eating it, Cyn then pointed the tip of his fork at his sister. "It's a noble path, but it will tire you, test you, and possibly break your spirit. The aches I feel after a long day of training will be nothing compared to what you will endure. If you're prepared for that, truly prepared then press forward. Do what you believe in. I'm sure Mother will understand, and if not I will convince her for you." Moving his fork back down to the plate, Cyn took another few vegetables and chewed them silently for a second. "First boyfriends, and now you want to be a shaman..." Cyn sighed heavily, much like a parent would do when they realize their child had grown so fast and no longer needed them. "When did you catch up to me?" All of the things Cyn said were true, harsh in nature but true and were meant to not only test Syqvara but also motivate her if she was truly ready.

She frowned a little. "It is not nature. It is nurture. And I will fix it." She seemed more or less determined to become a Shaman for the purpose of leading her people down a non-violent path. Taking another bite of her food she'd stare at her plate in thought. Hurriedly she swallowed her food, ended up coughing due to some being un-chewed, then leveled her gaze at her brother. "You are going to help me. Train me and protect me and I can do it." If he taught her to fight, or at least defend herself and others, then she wouldn't be completely useless and with him protecting her back she would never worry about someone trying to cause her harm. To her it seemed like the perfect set up.

Cyn stared blankly at Syqvara for a moment, not able to comprehend her sudden burst of determination. Not only was she determined, she was also demanding now. "To think you're the same girl that can't talk to strangers. Did the broomstick put something into place?" It was a poor joke to make at the moment, but a joke none the less. "Don't get too far ahead of yourself Syq. A chick doesn't learn to fly in one day. All I can do is teach you how to move yourself, react to what's happening and accurately decide what to do next. The rest you'll have to learn through time and experience. Not to mention learning the ways of a shaman, since I can't help you with that."

As he said she would need to learn some things on her own she nodded her head. Sy knew that she would need to. Still, hearing him say it made it a bit more.. real. The shy twin would need to branch out and learn from a complete stranger. Wanting to turn the conversation in a different direction she'd stabbed a carrot and then flung it at her brother. Putting on an innocent face she'd go about eating her food as if she had no idea food had flown his way.

With little movement of his body, Cyn moved his arm upwards to cover his face. In his open palm he'd catch the thrown food, letting his fingers close around it as soon as it touched his palm. "You know, catching an arrow out of mid-flight is one of the things I'm trying to master right?" If he could get used to the timing and technique it would help greatly if Cyn found himself against another archer. No only would it make their shot wasted it would further increase Cyn's ammo by not wasting one of his arrows. "You're a few years too early to be catching me off guard." With that, Cyn took the thrown carrot and popped it into his mouth. He didn't want to waste the food, nor give in to his childish urge to throw it back. "You're lucky I don't want it to go to waste. Would've given ya another lump." Giving his twin a sly wink, Cyn let out a small breath of air from his nose to show his amusement at the idea.

Sy watched as he caught the carrot, a little disappointed that it didn't hit him, then smiled at him. "Yes well... One of these days I will catch you off guard." As he ate the once airborne food she went back to eating the rest of the vegetables that were on her plate. When she finished Syqvara got up and took her dishes over to be washed off. "When you're done can you get me some water to wash dishes with?" Since he cooked she would do the clean up.

"You'll have to learn how to hide your presence then. Slow your pace, choose your steps carefully, slow your breathing and keep yourself calm. Every movement you make changes something about the world around you. Even the smallest mistake can take your advantage and give it to the opponent." Cyn was now just repeating what he had one day been told. It was crucial for fighters to learn stealth techniques, especially those who chose the arrow as their path. Putting the last of the food from his plate into his mouth, Cyn stood up and brought his dish to Syqvara. "Don't try anything funny or you'll be wearing the water I bring back." With a coy smirk Cyn walked out of the room stopping only for a moment to bend and pick up the bucket he'd use to fetch the water with.

Hearing what her brother told her made her smile. At least he didn't tell her she had no chance at all of sneaking up on him. Sy chuckled a bit, taking the plate from him. "I'd rather not have water all over me." Besides there wasn't much she could try. Her head still hurt from the cut and any sudden movements on her part would likely result in her falling over. As Cyn walked away she busied herself with making sure she had all the dishes in one spot.
