Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I think its just like Skiyaii! I can't wait to show Mommy and Daddy!" She grinned and hopped from foot to foot. Meanwhile Skiyaii snuffled at the new person curiously. Inviting a touch after licking her hand with a disturbingly large tongue.

Rijiri sidled up to Kiyelt as well concluding the reunion segment. "We will find you one Ichil no worries." He smiled.

Initi hugged them both, "I better go home now, see you guys later! Thank you!" She scurried off to go show her new prize to her parents.

Kiyelt invited Ichil into the tent. "I'll set up lunch and tea if you want to make yourself comforatble..well as comfortable as you can with all the critters. I promise they won't bite."

Kiyelt was pouring the water from the kettle into the tea pot when Ichil took her coat of and released her hair. Oh my Chi, he thought. She was exquisite her outside matched her inside beautifully and flawlessly. Fit as a racer with curves in all the right places. The fire hissed and Kiyelt looked back down, he had missed the kettle a little bit. "Shh." he hissed at the little cook fire which continued to crackle merrily. He set the tea down gingerly, the last thing he wanted to do was pour the hot water on his foot next and hop around the tent like a monkey in front of Ichil. She seemed so sure of herself so together and confident. He admired that it was very alluring. He swallowed and prepared a simple meal. "Once I'm settled the meals will improve I promise. It will get better than bread and dried meat." He offered her a plate and set up his own then poured them both tea. "I think the Oban tea is the best I've found. My mom slurps tea in winter like crazy. Dad prefers to live off her cooking then watery plant water. I like it though."

"They do indeed, in a little house on the edge of town where they stoicly stay different from almost everyone else. They are odd for icelings, they have an alk friend for instance and many other peoples gathered over the years as they traveled. Mom mostly stays home now and bakes cookies which dad steals then wanders off to various battles to sneak back home when he feels like it. They really are very fun to watch."

"I was wondering if I would get a sibling out of them but so far, nothing and I'm getting rather old. I'm not sure why they stopped. I hope I wasn't too much a handful. Do you have siblings?"

"I would be honored to taste your food but please let me make a real run of it after I hunt and shop." He giggled.

He decided not to touch that particular pile of emotions centered around her own family and their stopping right after her. Families were awfully complicated he had been quite fortunate with his even if they had kicked him out of Zena for a while.

"Well I won't stand in your way if you would like to cook, but only if you want to, I mostly cook for myself now occasionally Initi."

Skiyaii chose this moment to squeeze into the tent and settled by Ichil curling up in a ball, not at all succeeding in making his enormous bulk smaller. Kiyelt chuckled, "Well he does try," He came over and scratched the janarim on the forhead, making him growl in pleasure.

He paused, "Oh, um sleeping arrangements, I need to go and get some more blankets for you. Thankfully we don't need too many, especially with everyone in the tent at night although the two big ones might have to sleep outside so we have room."

He came back with an armload of bedding. "Wasn't expecting a guest but I borrowed these easily enough."

"Um share? I'm not uh, well you see uh.... |" Your too hot to chance it? I might not be able to resist? It would be better if I slept outside? He didn't want to insult her, far from it. She was too wonderful for words. Ahem. "I'm definitely flattered, I'm sure it would be most cozy but this is the first night we met and it might be a bit awkward if I were sprawled over you in the morning because I'm used to the janarim and the xaraan as bedmates and I don't want to flatten you." There he had told the truth as awkward as it was.
