It had been the young hybrids first time leaving Jahaur, he didn't admit to Rishima that he had a few nervous misgivings about leaving. The excitment that made one feel sick to their stomach the worries that plagued him these were all things he had swallowed down and buried deep inside himself. After all he didn't want to seem unsure about traveling. Rishima already treated him as if he was fairly fragile as it was he didn't want to give his mate another reason to coddle him.

The traveling had been actually pretty quiet, as the scenary changed around them Gerr had become less nervous and more excited. Like a little kid he couldn't help but expose curiousity as he came across new creatures and new people. Quite quickly he had adapted to the changes and he felt silly having worried about such silly things.

It was amazing seeing the large gathering of people. There was such a diversity that it made his head spin a bit. But it was a good thing, he hoped the Rishima would be able to relax now that they were out of the forest. No more patrols would do the hybrid good. Smiling broadly as his mate approached him the question was a good one and it made him wonder what should they do first?

"Why don't you lead? I am not exactly sure what one does at these sorts of gatherings." He smiled as he took his mates hand in his happy to be spending more time with his lover out of the forest.

It had been a long time since Borra had gone anywhere to enjoy the sites and sounds of people. His lute was strapped to his back as he never traveled anywhere without it. His raoti was also thrilled be out and about traveling again. Darting in an out of people legs like a spoiled pet (which he was) Baroke always kept tabs on where Borra was but for the most part was having a lot of fun being out of the jungle. Perhaps it knew that Sauti was one step closer to going back home to Zena. One could almost sense the snow on the wind that traveled down the mountains and into the valley.

Borra was happy they all have traveled together it was like the troupe was on the move again rather than stationed in the forest it brought back good memories. Though so many things had changed, his sister for one as well as the new addition Callisto. It had been so much fun while Callisto was young, but now he was a budding young man and piggy back rides and demands for songs had long past. It still didn't kill the desire to still baby him. Watching as the young man was allowed to wander off he felt his smile go crooked. A youth.

A tap on his shoulder startled him out of his thoughts, turning to look upwards at the giant of a man Gyuri his smile brightened again. So few words that one. Looking to Eira and then his sister and Makani he wondered if they would mind if they parted ways. Though... he caught a look his sister was giving him and he was pretty sure it was telling him to get the heck out of here I want to be alone sort. Yikes. A woman in love was a scary thing. But it still brought a chuckle to his lips.

"Sure! A walk would be grand. Which direction?" He inquired with a large smile.

Estellaina Post 2

The sudden appearance of an unknown stranger at her side caused her to panic, and before she could really react she found herself driving her elbow into whatever she could get a purchase on. If she were back home she would have suspected a ghost or some other strange beast, but upon closer inspection she realized that he was just a man. Well, a boy. He seemed to be around her age, dark skin and fiery red hair. If she hadn't just driven her elbow hard into what she assumed was his muscled abdomen she would have reached out and inspected the man more. The shade was an interesting tone as was the man's clothing. Well, she supposed lack of clothing rather. Did these strange Earthlings like the idea of running around half naked? It seemed incredibly odd to her given the circumstances and the weather. Even in her dress she felt a bit chilly and this man was wearing all sorts of cold jewelry and no clothing on his upper half. What was he thinking?

"You there. Strange Earthling. Who are you? I apologize for assaulting you, but do you plan on leading me astray? I will have you know I am trained in the ways of the blade. Do not underestimate my skills," she huffed out, hands crossing over her chest more defensively.

The man was still a bit of a distraction to her with his features, but she would just have to quell her curiosity for the moment until she got a better read on who the man in front of her was.

"Kindly state your name, strange man."

Kauff
post one

As wary of returning to Sauti as Kauff was, this festival remained a part of his childhood that filled him with such nostalgic glee that he couldn't stop grinning as he approached it. He'd had too much experience with people taking advantage of his distraction to let himself get too caught up, however, and he strolled beside Xariy with one hand on his bag, protecting the pair of poscutas that rode inside. Rawn scampered several feet ahead, sniffing at boots and bare feet as he went.

"You've been to the market before, right? When you used to travel?"

He didn't like alluding to her current voluntary occupation, seeing as how the thought of settling made him anxious, but he managed to sound quite civil about the whole thing. It must have been the giddiness.

Xariy Post 1

"You know, I haven't been in one place that long, Kauff," Xariy chuckled, carrying her hefty pack of goods on her back. She had agreed to go in her parents' stead to the festival to sell some of the wares she had acquired, and now that she was out and about a bit more she did miss it. Being in one spot for the time had made her gain a little weight among other things, and she didn't like it one bit. She wouldn't be telling Kauff she regretted it though. The man was already fidgety enough, and she was sure at the sign of her own restlessness he would want to run off once again.

"One of these days you'll get tired of running yourself, old man," she joked, nudging him gently as they continued to walk. She wasn't sure if that was true or not though. He was always avoiding things, much more than she ever had.

Eziya Post 1

Sauti was not a place that Eziya was wholly familiar with. She had been around most of Tendaji, but Sauti had not really been on her list of places to go. Now she was pleased to get away from Oba and Matori for a bit, and the colder temperature was a pleasant feeling from the usual warmer weather. The market was a bustling place of activity and Eziya was pleased to be able to shop around. She had hoped to perhaps even find a healing shop or two to take some notes. If she could get some ideas from them perhaps she could better work on her own ideas.

"There is so much activity around here! I'm surprised anyone can get things done around here!" She gripped his hand in her own as she wandered around, tugging him along in her excitement to find the shops.

Eirlys - Post 1

Eirlys walked into the Market with her family. Smiling at the warm feeling she had in her core at the feeling of her family around her. She wasn't a fan of the lack of her beasts around her, but that was fine...she had her Poscuta, Devi at least. Just...not really anyone else. She chuckled at her children.

"Remember you two, don't run far from each other. Devi will track your hides down when we're ready to go. He can do that. If I have to...I'll send Mamia after that kitten, Hulis. You know she wants to mother the little orphan." she told them as they walked away. The female sighed before turning to kiss Huyana.

"Now that we don't have the kids around. Lets go find a few things for us." she winked as she led the other away.

Jerami - Post 2

Jerami glanced at Jhana, then gave the place a once over, taking in all he could from their vantage point before he said, "Not sure if we could see it all... but we can at least try?" He didn't mind making the attempt because it meant that they would be able to shop around and he could get the best deals for the various things that they wanted to buy. For him it was the sewing supplies but what was it that his sisters were after? It was Shima who first announced what it was that she was after before trying to laugh it off as a joke.

His antennae gave a little twitch before he said to Shima with a gentle smile on his face, "I don't see why we can't look around, see if they have some nice spears here, maybe those meant for a beginner? I'm sure a blacksmith would know the best sort of spear for someone just starting out." He turned to Jhana and asked, "Is there anything in particular that you're wanting to look for, Jhana?"

As Shima turned the same question of them, wondering what they wanted to do. He gave a humming sound, "Well, I'm always after pretty cloth... something to make new clothing out of. If there is anything that either of you would like me to make just show me what cloth you'd like it made out of and I will do my best for you two." To be able to make something for others then himself seemed like an exciting prospect, if a bit intimidating if only because he'd never done so before. A good way to get his mind off things if you asked him.

Glancing around again, checking what was nearby, Jerami found his aqua eyes locking on a certain someone in the crowd... and he couldn't help but to stare a moment, his cheeks coloring ever so slightly. Ah, so he was here too? He would have to try to catch up with him sometime soon since it had been a while since he'd caught up with his dear friend he thought to himself. He lifted a hand, waving at Drexl for a moment, hoping that maybe he saw, before turning back to Shima. His sister was telling them to stick close so as not to get lost and he nodded, "Yeah, I would hate to get separated from the two of you in this crowd... I fear I might never find you again." Something that had him stepping a bit closer to them, with Bruin shuffling a couple steps closer to Jerami, as though wanting to stick very close.
