Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aysun watched as Issaly went to lay down on the bed roll, soon joined by the Zanteer. He gave a bit of a smile before he started to move around, putting himself on patrol, wanting to keep an eye on everything. He'd let the healer take a nap and he would keep an eye out on those that were a part of both their packs, to make sure that nobody risked getting hurt. What mattered most was keeping them all safe after all, those in his own pack as well as those who were a part of Issaly's pack. He wanted nothing more then to wrap his arms around them both all and give them snuggles... but now wasn't the time for that. Now was the time to keep an eye on everyone.

As he walked around he made sure to count everyone, and make sure to recount them, to make sure that the same number of beasts was on hand at all times. The only ones that were difficult to keep an eye on were the two sprites. They were pretty fast, not to mention small, but after catching Flower once he warned him to help keep Therus away from the dangerous herbs. The pink sprite was more then willing to do just that, wanting to keep his friend safe from the herbs since they were such a threat. If they were enough that they put Aysun on edge then Flower knew that they were something to fear, meaning that he would do his utmost to keep Therus safe!

Giving a smile Aysun watched Flower lead his friend off so that they could play somewhere safe, likely up in the top of the tree since that was far from the where the herbs grew. Giving a smile his patrol continued, pausing for a moment when he cause sight of the Zanteer, Ullyee, wiggling around to get his attention. He glanced her way, giving her a smile, before he said, "You needn't worry about waking him yet, Ullyee, we want him to get as much rest as he needs." It seemed that he needed it after all.

Aysun, deep in his thoughts where he was lounging with a sleeping Maw and Abysio, gave a jump when Issaly spoke up. His jump caused the others to jolt awake... but upon seeing not danger Maw laid his head back down, using Abysio as a pillow. Aysun patted his bit janarim before looking over at Issaly who was fighting it out with his hair. Giving a bit of a smile he said, "Not a clue. Tale can be tough when it comes to finding the 'perfect' place like the one that I am in the market for." He needed just the right place that would allow all his beasts to be comfortable and happy after all. Not an easy feat with so many of them.

"Tell me about the clearing?" He asked as he got up, fetching his own brush, before sitting down. Helping him out was something he could do. He was used to making lots of little braids in Sinnika's mane after all, even including cute little beads into the mix once he got better at fancying up the radaku.

Aysun leaned in closer, glancing over Issaly's shoulder at the map, listening as he explained where it was that he was wanting to go. It was some distance from where he was at the moment but it would be worth it if he could find the 'perfect' spot to build his home. As he thought that though he glanced at Issaly and said, "It sounds great... so don't you want to build your home there? Why tell me where it is?" It seemed a little odd to him. Given that Issaly was just like he was, one who had a pack of his own to protect, shouldn't he want to take the place he found for himself and his pack? Why tell Aysun when he was competition as far as resources were concerned? While he appreciated it he couldn't help but to wonder.

After a moment he asked, "Is it that you aren't planning to settle down? You did say something about wanting to find your brothers." What if he wanted to find them and live with them? He supposed that made sense. If he thought that Chandra would come stay with him at his place he'd invite him... but would his twin even want to come to his place when it was going to be so full of beasts? It was kind of hard to say really.

"Partner?" Aysun questioned, then gave a nod as Issaly specified that it was a human partner that he was looking for. He wasn't as far gone as Aysun was, he was still fine with the idea of making friends with people and possibly finding a partner among them. Aysun on the other had worried that maybe he'd missed his chance when the one that he had a thing for in his youth passed away. He was still able to make friends though, Issaly proved that, so maybe he wasn't as lost as he worried he was at times?

Giving another nod as he continued to work on Issaly's hair he said, "It makes sense, not everyone is the same as I am when it comes to a lack of human companionship." At least he lacked having it steadily that was. He met up with Issaly form time to time, same with his family, and the random people he crossed paths with in his ventures. Giving a smile he said, "You're young yet so you have plenty of time, Issaly."

As he said that he was giving Aysun the option because he had no plans to settle he gave a nod, "I suppose we should check it out then if you aren't interested in the place."

Aysun gave a pause as he mentioned that he could do what he did to Sinnika's hair to Issaly. It was then that he looked over the Shifter's hair for a moment then said, "That's... good. I mean... I kind of already started doing just that." He hadn't really noticed since he was focused on talking as well but he'd put a few braids into Issaly's hair already. They were just small, decorative ones, but they were still there. Something he probably should have asked about first but it was just a habit. They took a lot longer to do then those he did for Sinnika, but they were still fairly neat and of uniform size to one another.

As the sprites reappeared, with Therus hiding in Issaly's shirt and Flower doing circles around them he held up a hand for Flower. The sprite landed there and Aysun said, "We might be moving out soon, to check out another area that might be better to settle in. Don't wander too far, alright?" Flower gave a chirping sound and a nod of his head before taking off again, once more circling around looking for Therus... and soon enough poor Issaly would have a second sprite diving into his shirt in an attempt to catch Therus.

Aysun gave a sound of surprise as he suddenly had a half dressed Shifter in his lap, glancing passed him at the shirt that was laying there. He watched as the two sprites appeared out of said shirt before shaking his head, "Silly Flower, there isn't enough room in that shirt for three." He said, giving a playful tsking sound before laughing. He then looked down at Issaly and asked, "Are you alright?"

As the other whined at Therus that he was ticklish his eyes seemed to light up, "Oh? Is that so?" He looked at Ullyee, giving a little wink to the 'mother' beast before he started to tickle the one that had dove into his lap. He was unable to help but to take advantage when he said that he was ticklish. It would have happened with anyone else, no matter who it might be, but today it was Issaly that just had to be tickled.

Aysun couldn't help but to feel a bit like a janarim with an aldabuk as Issaly tried to overpower him but didn't really seem to be able to do so. He'd likely get himself eaten up if that were the case but Aysun wasn't a mean predator type so he eased up, allowing his friend to breath again, "Alright, alright, I'll be nice." He said before he gave a little chuckle and added in a teasing manner, "You should have been careful though, giving up your weakness like that."

Wrapping an arm around Issaly's middle Aysun got up to his feet, easing him down onto his feet, and gave him a pat on the head, "Heh, come on. We aught to get moving. If the place you're wanting to lead us is so far off we will want to start off soon. We might have to camp in the middle though so we should make sure that we have enough supplies."

Giving his friend a smile he moved away from him, lifting his fingers to his lips so he could give a sharp whistle. It was one that all of his beasts knew, a sound that said 'heel' and it didn't take but a few moments before the lot of them, save for Volos who was still sleeping in his basket.

Aysun gave a laugh, nodding his head, "There is a weakness we share." He said, gathering up his own packs, setting to work putting them on Janarim's back along with Volos's basket. He gave the serpent a pat on the head before putting the top on the basket so he wouldn't risk falling out of it. Th last thing he wanted was for the poor serpent to get himself hurt because he tried to leave his basket while he was half asleep. Once everything was loaded up on his various beasts he gave each of them a snuggle, "You're all such good babies." He praised them before he glanced over at Issaly to check on him.

he seemed to be doing alright, packing up his things as well, "Let me know when you're ready to head out." He called over to Issaly before he climbed up onto Maw's back, scratching his neck affectionately. They'd all been hanging out for a while, wanting to given Issaly enough time to rest, but now that he was awake it was time for them to get rolling.

As he got comfortable Flower came over to him, landing on his shoulder, settling down there so that he could help out if Aysun had need of him. While the sprite enjoyed playing with his friend it was time for him to get to work! They could play again once they arrived... well, wherever it was that they were going next.
