Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shura gave a nod of her head before she handed Anhalo over to Tri, "Alright, you hold onto him while I get our food." She said, patting the wiggly pup on the head before she went over to chat with the one that was in charge of cooking the meat. She started to talk with him, to see what it was that was being cooked today, before she nodded and ordered a bunch of various sorts for them. Giving a smile she turned to Tristitia and waved, "Alright, there are lots of tasty things to be had, Tri!"

After a moment she walked over with a plate that was stacked high with various skewered meats. She motioned to him to follow her to one of the tables, sitting down there, and put the plate on the table, "Alright! We have a lot of quhar and some xaraan, both are really good, though of the two I'd say that the best is the quhar since they are actually raised as a tasty source of meat." With that she took Anhalo back, putting him on her lap, and picked up one of the skewers of meat to eat it. After a couple bites she said, "There are equal numbers of each kind and they are all mixed up so... eat whatever you like, however much you like." The skewers were pretty cheap so she didn't mind feeding the stray Tri with them.

Shura gave a bit of a laugh, unable to help it, as she was thanked for the food by Tri whose mouth was still full. It was a bit gross but it really didn't bother her. If anything it was kind of amusing and spoke to how hungry Tristitia really was. It made her want to pat him on the head like one might do to a perzi... but she refrained, getting one of the skewers for herself. She took a bite from it while reaching into the pouch at her side for a bit of dried fish, giving that to the pup sitting on her lap.

The little zanteer took the fish from her with his fore-paws and set to eating, seemingly happy with getting to eat along with the other two. As Shura ate she spoke between bites saying, "From what I read it's best to eat with pets like my little buddy here. It helps to build a bond with them." She was glad for all the books she'd read or else she'd of likely been unprepared given how wiggly the critter was. At least he was sitting still now though, likely because he had food to distract him.

Shura glanced up at her new friend as he set to whacking his hand against his chest, as though he was trying to keep from choking on his food. She gave a chuckle and said, "You really need to chew your food, Tristitia. It would be a waste if died before you got to finish your meal." She grinned before finishing off the skewer she was working on, setting it aside, and got herself another one.

Giving a nod of her head Shura said, "Yeah. If you ever end up getting a pet I'd suggest reading up on them if you can. It helps a lot." He get the baby zanteer a smile and a pet on the head before she offered him another bit of fish that he was quick to take from her. She nodded her head again as he mentioned them being 'adorable' and said, "Yeah, they really are the cutest." She knew it was a little biased to say but that didn't matter, she liked them best of all the beasts that she'd met thus far.

"That's good to hear. Good luck with learning that important skill." She said as seriously as she could before she started to laugh, unable to help it. The fact that he'd actually responded by seriously saying that he'd learn to chew some day... it was amazing. She set the skewer that she'd finished off with the others that would end up making a small stack of them on the table alongside the plate.

She reached out, picking up another skewer, and as she did so she said, "He's a boy. I asked the breeder that when I went to go pay for him. It seems that he's quite the special one too! Did you see that he has two different colored eyes? It seems that is a rare trait among zanteer." Which made her feel lucky that she was the one that got there first and was able to buy him before someone else did. Lifting him up a bit she let Tri look at the little pup that had one brown eye and one golden eye before setting him back down one her lap once more.

Shura watched Trititia as he went about making a star shape out of the empty sticks, giving a bit of a smile. That was definitely something that she hadn't really thought about doing with the sticks but maybe it was because she wasn't creative in that manner? Hard to say though. It also could just be because she was focusing on just eating instead of designing things?

Giving a bit of a grin Shura said, "Well, that is one reason for him to be special but I'd say that since he's mine instead of just being special he is also the best zanteer in the history of zanteer. You know, because I am completely biased." Something that had her laughing a bit. Not as though she was at all bothered by the idea that she was acting in such a biased manner. Anhalo was her 'little baby' after all so of course he was the best of the best. She gave the little critter a pat on the head, gave him another of the treats, before she continued eating herself.

"How are you doing, Tri? Was that enough or were you wanting some more?" She asked of the other prentice, wanting to make sure that he was good. She wanted to make up for walking all over him earlier after all.

Shura gave a little shake of her head before nudging the sticks over to him, "Have at. Just remember we will need to throw them out once we are done." She didn't mind leaving him to play with the sticks for now but it would only be right for them to clean up after themselves. Especially given that the one cooking the meat in the stall had given them such good prices. They couldn't just leave a mess behind after they left.

Giving a smile she patted the little blue pup on the head and said, "Yeah, he really is lovely!" She set to fawning over the little pup in a happy manner, wanting nothing more then to snuggle him that much more... at least once he was done eating his current fishy treat. Taking in the manner in which Tri was yawning she gave him a smile, "Sleepy? Can I suggest that this time around that you find a better place to nap then the ground? I would rather you didn't get stepped on again... unless that is how you always make friends?"

Shura starred at Tri for a long moment before leaning forward over the table a little bit, patting the boy on the head, before he said, "Poor Tristitia. It's alright! You can count me as a friend, that way you aren't alone." He gave him a smile and another pat on the head before she got to her feet, stretching out all over as she did so.

Leaning over she scooped up the sleepy zanteer pup, hugging him close, before she said, "Where are you planning to go next? Somewhere to sleep? Or off to do... well, whatever it is you do to pass the time?" She had her pup and she should be getting back to her father soon but she felt a bit bad just leaving him behind. She wanted to make sure that he would be alright before she went on her way. She'd fed him, which should be enough to make up for stepping on him... but now it was more her just worrying in general. He had been sleeping on the ground in the alleyway after all. Obviously he didn't take the best care of himself.

"You'll be alright on your own?" She asked, wanting to be sure.

Shura gave a bit of a wince, her eyes going wide, as he heard the loud cracking sounds from Tristitia. It was something that was more then a little surprising given how terrible it sounded but... he seemed alright? Not as though he suddenly passed out from it so he had to be fine. Giving a little shake of her head she said, "Sleeping on the ground doesn't seem to be good for your back, Tri. I hope you have a better sleeping situation back at... wait... what? Shed?"

She tilted her head to one side, looking a bit confused by the comment. He was going back to a shed to get rest? What did that mean? Was he actually living in a shed? Or did he mean like his house was really tiny like a shed? Either way that didn't sound like it was all that much fun. It was bad enough for her back home having to share a room with Dovian while they were younger. The idea of living in a shed or a place as small as a shed would be awful! The only one that should be living in a shed was someone like Aatos.

Resting one hand on her hip she studied Tristitia before she said, "Well... I would like to believe that you're going to make it a bit longer. It would be a shame if I made friends with you only to lose that friendship straight away."
