Welcome to Gaia! ::

Incanthis couldn't help but to flush again as Abie was referred to as his 'lover'. It was a nice word and one that he liked the sound of in conjunction with Abie's name. Now to work up the courage for more then just what he'd been able to do with Abie to this point. Nothing that was to the point of being lovers yet but still more then he'd ever expected to share with another person after everything that happened in his past. Giving a smile he said, "Well, I hope that everything goes well with the guard but I also hope you're able to return with us." He'd much prefer that he didn't find the guard so they could travel together... but at the same time it seemed important to his brother so maybe he should be praying he found him swiftly instead? Hard to say...

"I will talk with Abie when I get home. To make sure that he's alright with it, and then maybe the two of you can meet? That and maybe your beasts can meet with his? I want to make sure that everyone gets along so that there aren't any fights on the way to Jauhar... or to Tale if you would rather be dropped off there."

To be honest he'd prefer Issaly going all the way to Jauhar with him so that he could be sure his brothers made up... but at the same time maybe he shouldn't mess with them? It had been a long time since he'd been around them and shouldn't be forcing his desires onto them. Especially when they were so hypocritical. Him wanting his brothers to get along when he was terrified to meet with them himself due to fear of rejection.

"Only if you're certain, little Issaly. While I would love you to come with us and for you two to make friendly I know it's way out of line for me to ask so much of you. I'd rather you do what you're comfortable with." He told his brother while giving him a gentle and reassuring smile. He'd much rather that his brothers were happy no matter what.

As they came to sit down at the counter where they were going to eat Junior moved to find himself a seat as close to Incanthis as possible. There were a lot of beasts around at the moment due to Issaly but there were a lot of strangers as well. It was Junior's job to keep Incanthis safe even if that meant using what weight he had to shove others out of the way so he could stick close to his shifter.

Incanthis gave him a pat on the head before ordering the same thing from the one in charge that he always did. Once his simple meal was ordered he turned to Issaly to help him to order as well. Giving the sprite a glance Incanthis said, "It seems that we all have something that we are a bit intimidating by. Your Therus must be the same."

Incanthis seemed to think on that one. Since he was in Tale then likely the man was a member of the Leaf Tribe, right? Not one that Incanthis had a lot of interactions with these days but they also were as scary as some. As such it should be okay, right? He hoped so at least. Giving a slow nod of his head he finally said, "It should be alright, though I should make sure with Abie about that as well." It was supposed to be a trip for the two of them and Incanthis was just adding more and more people... making him feel a bit guilty.

As the owner of the stall commented about them looking alike and asking if he had a kid brother he glanced over at Issaly first, then gave a bit of a smile as he was quick to say that he was in fact Incanthis's brother. He was much more eager to chat with people then Incanthis who was a little slower at it... but that was nice. It made it easier for Incanthis to talk as well though he wasn't sure if he'd ever be able to keep up.

Turning to the owner he gave a smile and a nod, "Yes, my baby brother Issaly." Maybe not as young as all that but still in his eyes Issaly was still just a little thing.

Incanthis fell quiet listening to his brother's stories, finding them to be rather interesting as well as just... nice to hear. It allowed him to learn a bit more about his brother, where he'd been, what he'd been doing, and those that he had been spending his time with. They sounded like good people, as well as good beasts, which was... wonderful. That he could grow up happy instead of under the thumb of their father was something that made him happy. At the same time he felt a touch guilty too, he shouldn't be happy or relieved that his old man was dead after all but in some aspects he kind of was.

"I look forward to meeting this Aysun one day." If only to make sure that he was definitely good enough for his baby brother. He didn't want someone that wasn't worthy trying to carry him off after all. That he seemed to have a pack of beasts just like Issaly did made him feel that maybe the two were made for each other?

Giving a smile he said, "I hope that it goes well for you with him when you meet up with him again, little Issaly."

Incanthis turned to look at his brother, head tilting to one side, "Oh... is that so?" So he was in love with a mixed blood man then? Not that Incanthis was swayed one way or the other by that, merely finding it interesting. Not to mention that he was happy that his brother didn't discriminate... not that it would make since if he did. How could he have a thing for a Leaf Tribesman but not a hybrid man? Still, it was nice to hear that his brother didn't care about any of those sorts of things as he knew some did.

Realizing that he was thinking too hard about it he finally came out of his thoughts and said, "Oh! Ahh... Abie is Matorian. Umm, Water Tribe that is." He wasn't sure which name Issaly might know the tribe as so best to use both of the names to be sure.

Giving Junior a glance and a pat on the head he said, "It's alright if your snaptrotter is shy. Junior probably won't respond, not out in the middle of the open like this. He's been like this since he was just a little whelp. He's taken it on himself to be my guardian when I am out and about." He didn't want Saalin to feel bad because Junior ignored him so that he could continue on with his 'work' as it were.

Giving Saalin a smile and a nod he turned back to his food, working on finishing it off, "Once we're done here we will see about finding directions to where your guard is located."

Incanthis was a little worried for Issaly but he felt that this was a journey that his brother needed to go on himself. He had to find the people and talk to them, something that Incanthis shouldn't interfere with. As such after they were given directions to where the Oban could possibly be found he only went part way with his Issaly and his pets. Once they got to an intersection that would lead Issaly one way and Incanthis the other that was where they split up.

As he headed down another street toward home he found himself realizing that he was completely empty handed! Oh no... his shopping! He was supposed to be out getting things to make the trip to Jahaur easier. Shaking his head he looked at Junior and said, "We are going to have to go out again, huh? Oops... best to stop by home anyway to let them know." He didn't want to head back to the marketplace first or else they might worry since he'd be gone an extra long time.

"How about we go find Abie and see if he wants to come along with us this time?" Something that had Junior giving a little huff, as though he was good either way. Incanthis gave the emerald snaptrotter a pat on the head before continuing toward home with him.
