Aysun instantly started writing as Teiluj spoke, seeming as though he didn't want to miss a thing that she was saying. It all sounded quite important after all, especially if not doing any of those things meant that the little radaku pup might be uncomfortable. He looked up at her and asked, "Keep the skin moist? Does that mean rubbing them down with oil to keep their skin from getting patchy?" He asked as he paused in his writing. It would be one more task to add to the list of things that he did each day, not that he really minded. So long as the beasts that he had were happy then Aysun was happy. He looked at Tao's mane for a thoughtful moment before asking, "Do they like getting their hair done? I know that it's something girls, and even some guys like to do, things like braiding and the like. Do Radaku like to get all fancied up as well?" Looking at Tao he gave him a grin and asked, "Do you want your hair done up all pretty? Nice braids and maybe some beads?" He chuckled before writing down the part about brushing a radaku's mane to keep it from getting tangled since that could cause issues. Last thing he wanted was for his little pup to be uncomfortable. Lifting his writing utensil he tapped it thoughtfully against his lips, "What do they eat?" He thought on the question for a moment before he listed off what he knew Radaku to eat, various sorts of meats, birds, insects, he'd even heard of them fishing for food before, "And, from what I have seen today dried aldabuk meat, though only for snack. Don't want the pup eating too much of the stuff and getting chubby." That wouldn't be healthy for the little guy. Even if they wanted more treats then Aysun knew he should give he had to be strong, for their sake. They were good at making it difficult at times when they gave him their cute, pathetic, 'dying of hunger and need a treat now' faces. "Am I missing anything though? Things you've learned that they like that I don't know about?"

Teiluj fingered the pendant around her neck in thought. Her eyes cast to the side thoughtfully, without actually looking at anything her mind worked out the information she knew about the Radaku. "I'm not sure about how they feel about their hair being done, to be honest I've never tried it. Pacju doesn't, she's my mamma's Radaku. Tao's a boy so I figured if I did funny things to his hair he might not appreciate it much. I don't know about that little one either. I've tried to keep my distance so they don't accidentally bond to me." Picking the pendent between her fingers Teiluj rolled it about. The thought of adding beads to Tao's hair was an interesting idea on it's own however and Teiluj was curious to see how a Radaku would handle having the added weight there. Looking towards the pup by Aysun Teiluj gave a smile. "They eat plants too, they aren't completely carnivorous. And these guys are getting pretty good at hunting, Pacju has been teaching them well. Tao returns with the odd kill every now and then." Jerking her thumb towards the pale blue Radaku Teiluj gave the pup a loving smile. "I do hope that if you want that little guy, that he bonds well with you. He's probably the most brightly colored one of the bunch."

"Hmmm, I guess I will have to learn from the little one what he thinks about having his mane done up in a pretty manner." He said in a musing tone, wondering if they would like that or not. Did they like to look fancy? Would he want to get all dressed up to impress others? Or would having braids and beads just be something that was irritating to the radaku? He supposed that it was going to be one of those times when he learned by doing. "Plants? Interesting, I can't say I've seen one of them grazing on plants before but that is good to know so that the little guy has a balanced and healthy diet." He said, knowing that meant learning more about all the different sorts of plants about Jauhar and Tale, something he could bother either his twin or his Uncle Takoda about. Both of them were rather plant savvy and he'd be able to learn from them which plants were safe for a radaku to eat. He glanced the way of the pups that were off playing around, chasing each other, and he gave a smile, "So they are already learning to hunt? That is very impressive, their mother is a very good and attentative one I see." Giving a bright smile he said, "I hope that he decides that he wants to come along with me too. I won't force him, of course, but I woud be honored if he decided that he wanted to." He said, glancing toward the bright, tricolored male, who seemed to be glancing his way again. The fact that the pup kept looking his way was a good sign, an even better one was the little guy walking toward him once more, tail swishing in a manner that appeared friendly, "Perhaps he will decide to come with me." He mused, a smile on his face.

Smiling at the mention of Pacju being a good, attentive mother Teiluj giggled and nodded. "Yeah she is! I didn't in all honest think she was going to be able to raise them so well considering she was raised by my mamma before she could even walk. I bet the father is helping." Following Aysuns gaze towards the pup she couldn't help but let her smile grow a bit more. She felt at ease around the other part shifter, which was rather uncommon for Teiluj as it was. "He might, if he doesn't follow you the first time, don't give up we wont mind if you return here once in a while to make attempts to claim him as yours." An idea came to Teiluj almost immediately. "Oh I know." Reaching into her bad Teiluj's hands seemed to search something out before she finally tugged out a small wrapped parcel. Stepping close to Aysun Teiluj blushed as she held out the cloth. Inside were several pieces of a dried fungus she had seen Pacju indulge in partaking from time to time. It had acted like a stimulant to the large Radaku. "Here, try giving some of this to him."

"So long as you don't mind the menagerie and I visiting to come and check on him then it might be what we do if he doesn't decide to come along with us today." He said, watching the tricolored pup bouncing around from side to side, watching Aysun, but not coming right to him as of yet. At least not until Teiluj produced something that seemed to get the little one's attention. He turned to look at her, curious as to what she had, taking some from her. He looked the fungus over for a moment, sniffing at it, before holding it out to the radaku pup as she suggested. The little on seemed to bounce in place a moment before walking toward him, sniffing at the fungus, nuzzled against it, before slurping it up out of Aysun's hand. He blinked a couple times as the little one chewed on it before flopping over onto his back, feet in the air, squirming about on the ground. Aysun burst out laughing, looking up at Teluj, "Well now... that's an interesting reaction." He murmured, reaching to to scratched the little one on the belly, laughing as his foot set to kicking.

A fit of giggled washed over Teiluj as she watched the pups antics. It was the expression on Aysuns face she had found more amusing. "Not many people know this trick. I discovered it myself when Pacju and I were out playing. And upon further study some of the books mentioned it had stranger properties so I gave it a try. As far as I know it doesn't cause them any harm, infact it kinda helps to keep their lungs clean and healthy." Tao's nose wiggled as he caught scent of the substance but refused to move any closer to Aysun to accept any. "Well, if you can keep them a distance from the house I think it will be ok. I don't want... well... I fear... what I mean to say is..." Teiluj fidgeted as she struggled to find the words. "I trust you and them well enough, but... there's someone... someone here who's injured... and I don't want more harm to come to him." A blush raced across her face as her eyes cast towards the ground. "I don't' mean any harm by it. And would like to see him paired with you. I think you and that pup would make good friends."

"That's amazing! I've never seen a radaku react in such a manner." He said, still giggling over the silly little pup behaving in such a manner. Settling down next to the pup he continued to pet him, hoping that by being close to him and petting on him that it would help the pup to get used to him. He really was too cute he thought to himself, wanting nothing more then to pull him in for a hug but refrained for at least the time being. If the radaku decided that he wanted to be cuddled then he'd come to Aysun looking for said hugs. Turning to look up at Teiluj he gave her a questioning look when he started to try to explain something to him. At first he was a bit confused, something about him not being able to go near the house because... someone was there? He starred for a moment, a curious look on his face, until she seemed to finally get it out. Someone injured, huh? he gave a nod, "I see, well I wouldn't really go about bothering your injured friend... though if you need help for your friend you should talk with my Uncle Takoda, he's really good at all that healing and magical stuff." He suggested, turning back to the pup as it squirmed around a bit before crawling into his lap, sniffing at him, obviously looking for more of the fungus that Aysun had shared with him. "Ah... hahaha! Sorry bud, I don't have any more and I think that you've had enough already." He teased the little guy as he continue to sniff Aysun all over, searching quite hard now for any sign of the treats that the hybrid boy had given him over time. First the dried aldabuk meat, then the dried fungus, Aysun was handing out all sorts of treats which seemed to have gotten the pup's attention.

Teiluj paused and gave a start when Aysun mentioned Takoda. She knew that shifter, he had taught her to use magic. He had spoken a great deal of his 'nephew' that Teiluj could only wonder about how proud he was of what she had assumed to be a pure shifter. Her mouth fell open as she pointed at Aysun with an exasperated expression. "You're the Nephew!?" Teiluj blurted out, staring a great deal at the part shifter, swallowing as some questions seemed to make more sense. Realizing she must have come off as rude Teiluj blushed furiously before clearing her throat and trying to shove her finger behind her back. "I...I-I've met your uncle." Teiluj mumbled. "I tried to ask for help, but there's nothing that he can do. He did tell me about this book though..." Teiluj trailed off into thought. Aysun didn't seem to match the description that Takoda had given of his nephew. "How has your training in magic going?" She asked, completely unaware that she was mixing Aysun up with someone else.

Aysun lifted his gaze, starring up at her with wide eyed, "Huh? The nephew? Yeah, I guess so." He said, wondering what she meant by that. So she'd already met up with his uncle then? And his uncle talked about him? He tilted his head for a moment, a curious look on his face as she talked about her meetings with Takoda, and something about a book... and then he gave a little sigh, flopping over onto his back, bringing the pup along with him. He laid there, petting the radaku that was laying on his chest, and then shook his head, "Sorry, I'm not that nephew. I'm the one that is more the one that everyone points at and goes 'where did we go wrong?' and stuff like that." He sai with a bit of a grin, "Chandra is the one that is trying to follow in Uncle Takoda's footsteps. Tell me, did he say anything at all about me? Or was he just chatting about Chandra?" He found himself asking curious as he sat up again, hugging the radaku to his chest again. He didn't want to seem as though he was upset or anything, he'd made his choice after all, but at the same time it stung a little that Takoda was talking up Chandra to others in such a manner.

Teiluj flinched, watching Aysun sent a pang through her heart. Like she had said something wrong, unable to stop herself Teiluj darted to Aysuns side and knelt down beside him. Her heart ached at the potential pain from Aysun's question her eyes unable to meet his and yet she wanted to be able to comfort him all the same. She knew what the pain of not being loved was. "That's not true! I'm sure they don't really think that, they must love you a great deal! Otherwise they would probably start to insist that you go on your own way, right?" Her voice had risen in volume as she spoke, an action that was quite unlike the shy and reserved girl. It was the only way she could think to attempt to ease what she assumed to be pain in the man. Shaking her head slowly Teiluj opted for silence instead of outright saying he hadn't been mentioned. Takoda had spoken of Chandra twice that she could remember during their previous conversation. "I don't think it's like that..." Teiluj muttered, resisting the urge to lean forward and hug Aysun, it was another way to ease pain that Isaris had taught her. Yet she wasn't sure he would be as accepting of her approach especially of such an intimate kind. "I think he was using him as an example." Teiluj struggled to find the right words. "Like... how he struggled with magic and stuff like that. Or how he thought when it came to the same..." Teiluj slumped forward a little in defeat.

Aysun nuzzled against the radaku's mane, getting nuzzles in return, though he'd bet it was partly due to him being a little high on fungus. No matter, if it was a way to break the ice and help the two of them to bond then he'd thank Teiluj for the help in that manner. He looked up at her and gave a little laugh, "It's alright, Teiluj. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, I know I'm pretty weird. I don't really mind either, I've always been able to understand animals better then I do people, I spend more time with them, and I find myself able to work more easily with them. I don't really mind, though it can be a pain when random people bother my brother or parents because they think there is something wrong with me." As he got a hug from the other girl he gave a bit of a laugh, wrapping an arm around her, returning the gesture since she seemed to be trying to comfort him. It was sweet of her, and something that he appreciated, "Thank you, but it's alright. I understand if he didn't mention me. I can't really think of why I'd come up in the middle of magic talk. That is more Chandra's thing. He's had his face buried in those books of his ever since I can remember. The only time I can get him away from them is if I steal and hide them." Giving her a smile when her words trailed off he said, "It's alright, besides, Chandra is the big brother, he needs to be the more succesful one and let me slack off and play with animals all day." At least that was what Samoset had been convinced that he did.

Teiluj felt relieved that Aysun seemed to understand she hadn't meant any harm in what she had said. Still feeling guilty for the confusion Teiluj pulled away from Aysun, trying to bring her blushing under control. With all the things that had been going on lately it only stood to reason that her wandering back into the house in a complete fluster might not turn out so well. "Well I don't think there's anything wrong with you. But you shouldn't put so much stress on your brother." Teiluj said with a smile, placing her hands on her hips. Her antenna twitched as she looked back towards the house. "If he follows you take care of him. And if you ever have any questions about them you can always come back and ask me for help" Teiluj said as she pushed herself up to her feet. "I've got to go though, it was good to meet you Aysun, perhaps the next time you're in the area. We could have a sparing match? I would like the chance to show you just how strong I can be." Giving a wave Teiluj darted into the house with Pacju and Tao on her heals. Several of the other pups remained outside to play.

He gave a smile, "I only tease him from time to time, it's fun, to get him all riled up and see if I can make him raise his voice. He's way too serious for his own good at times so I can't resist." He really did love his twin but he couldn't help but to tease him a bit... well, more then a bit. He didn't really stand for others teasing him, but he was more then happy to do all the teasing himself. Giving a nod of his head he said, "Alright, if he wants to tag along wth the group I will let him, if he doesn't... well, I will just have to come back and buy his affection with more dried aldabuk and fungus." He laughed a bit before looking over at Teiluj, "Sparring match? Sure! Sounds like fun!" He said, lifting a hand to wave as she headed on her way. She was probably going to check on her patient, huh? Guess that he should be going then he thought to himself, as he pushed to his feet, stretching out all over before he looked down at the derpy, somewhat mushroom addled radaku that was sitting at his feet, "I'm heading out cutie, you can come along with us if you like." He started toward were the others were playing around, looking over at the radaku who was following him, then smiled, "Alright little guy, come on then." He said, patting a hand against his leg. He looked back toward the house that Teiluj had gone into before he headed on his way, the radaku coming to fall into place with the others in the group. Only for so long though before Aysun found himself having to carry the little one who seemed to be completely tuckered out after all the playing and eating of various snacks.
