Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bisera found the apple after a while, mostly due to the fact that it was nudged into his hand. He lifted it up, taking a bite out of it, and continued on with what he was working on. After a while Bisera gave a little sigh, leaning back against Xarnith again, "Phew... alright!" He'd gotten the design out onto the paper and now he was feeling so much better. He hadn't thought that he would be lucky enough to remember what he'd dreamed and the fact that he was able to... it was all luck.

Holding up the book so that Xarnith could see what he was working on and said, "There! See? Something like this is what I was thinking." He showed off the braided idea that he had sketched out, and said, "I was thinking a nice, braided piece of jewelry, with a couple of jewels set in it. One big one in the center, two smaller ones on either side."

"Do you really? You wouldn't just say that, right?" He wanted to make sure, not wanting to think that Xarnith was just accepting the first design that he showed him because it was easier or something, "I want to make sure that it's the one you want because I can do other designs as well if you want to pick from one of many." He had worked on a few others last night before sleep... but he wasn't sure if he liked them nearly as much as he did the braided one. With that design it was sort of just a matter of deciding which metal and which jewels would look best in it. Provided it was the one that Xarnith definitely wanted.

"Huh?" What did he want to do now? He looked a little confused, "If your certain about this design then I should start picking out the metal and gems I want to use." That was what he wanted to do... though at the mention of the waterfall he found himself a little sidetracked. It would be nice to rinse off and cool off before starting his work anew.

There was a zanteer to make friends with? Giving a smile he said, "That sounds fun but I wouldn't want Fractis to get jealous of us making a new animal friend." Fractis was so cute and sweet after all, and he didn't want to hurt his feelings by making it seem like they wanted another pet or something. The last thing he wanted was for the kitten to feel replaced.

"They do? Ahh... that's good." So Fractis had made a friend then? That was good to hear, it meant that the little kitten wouldn't end up jealous if Xarnith and himself were to make friends with the water dwelling beast as well. That was the last thing that he wanted after all he thought to himself, watching as the kitten seemed to run ahead a bit, seemingly wanting to get to his friend.

After a moment he turned his attention back to Xarnith, listening as he assured Bisera that the armband was exactly what he wanted. It would suit Xarnith, or so he wanted to believe. That his friend thought the same was good, it meant that it was definitely the piece that he would be working on. After they went to the waterfall for a while at least.

"To be safe we should bring our packs, just to make sure that nobody tries to make off with them." Bisera wasn't sure what he'd do if his pack was stolen away from him. It held everything that made up his life's work after all. Shaking his head at the thought he pushed to his feet with Xarnith's help and moved to fetch his heavy pack. Turning to look at the warrior he said, "The basics of camp should be alright on their own, right?" Who'd try to steal such things after all? It would just be silly and a waste of time if you asked Bisera.

Bisera held onto his pack, seemingly to protect the contents from the water, as he followed along he sought out a good, safe place, and tuck his pack away. He patted it carefully before he turned to look at Fractis as the little kitten went diving into the water. Giving a gasp he pushed forward a couple steps, about to go in after him, when the zanteer surfaced with the kitten in its mouth. Giving a sigh of relief he watch as the two started play around in the shallow waters.

Looking over at Xarnith he was about to reply when his friend started to strip down to go swimming, something that had Bisera starring again. There was a part of him that wanted to get to his journal... but then recalled that he really shouldn't do that. He had spent enough time at work and they had come here to relax. That was something that Bisera was completely awful at but he felt that he should take a go at that now.

Taking in a deep breath he held it for a moment, let it out slowly, and followed along after Xarnith toward the pool of cool water.

It was as Xarnith started to talk that Bisera realized that as per always where the warrior was concerned that he was... starring. It was one of those bad habits that Bisera knew that he had but had yet to figure out how to break himself of. When it came to Xarnith and a few other choice people that he'd run into he couldn't help but to stare. It wasn't something that was meant to be rude it was just him observing the person, studying them, getting a feel for the lines of their bodies and the various colors that they were made up of. Each person was so very interesting in their own way but Xarnith even more so.

Even more so? A thought that came through loud enough that even someone like Bisera sort of picked up on it. Did that mean that the man was special then? No... he knew that Xarnith was special but it was on what level that he was stuck on. Was this the most special person to him? Was Xarnith the one that he didn't want to part from? Were the feelings his own and not mixed up by knowing Xarnith's feelings? It was probably what he was most worried about. What to do with his thoughts...

As he was thinking about it he was moving forward, unconsciously closer to Xarnith, and after closing the space between him he was starring again. His hair looked really pretty when it was free flowing, such a nice, light color, and the way that it moved in the breeze kicked up by the falls. Then there was the rest of him, the way that his muscles moved when he moved, especially those in his back. Without even thinking about it Bisera lifted a hand, tracing it along Xarnith's shoulder blades first, then along his spine, deep in thought as he did so. Such perfect lines... he really did inspire so many ideas in Bisera's mind.

Bisera gave a bit of a jump when Xarnith spoke, as though he just realized what it was that he was doing. He withdrew his hand, his cheeks coloring, before he said, "Ahh... s-sorry..." He hadn't meant to poke at his soft spots or something... nor did he meant to do what he'd done. Dropping his gaze he said, "It was... ahh... I mean, not something I should do without permission."

He gave another jump as Xarnith turned around, catching hold of his shoulder. For a moment he felt as though maybe Xarnith were made at him, like he might hit him for what he'd done... but he didn't seem angry exactly. He was just telling him how it was... and that was something that Bisera understood. He shouldn't really let his hands get away from him, not when he knew that they were in such a tense place. He dropped his gaze and said, "I apologize, Xarnith. I have been trying to figure things out but I guess I forgot myself for a moment." He dared to glance up at him as he mentioned whisking him away.

Whisk him away...? So he wasn't too mad at him then? That was a relief. The idea of making Xarnith angry was something that made his heart ache for a moment. Everything seemed to really point toward Xarnith being truly special to him. Lifting a hand he scratch it against his cheek in a thoughtful manner, before he said, "I... think... I am figuring it out though. My feelings I mean and that... getting umm... whisked, it doesn't sound bad."

Bisera nodded his head, "Ahh... yes, I wouldn't mind I don't think." He murmured, feeling that it wouldn't be too terrible to follow along after him. As Xarnith started into the deeper water, leading him along, he gave a bit of a huffing sound. How was he with swimming? Resting his hands on his hips the tiny blond puffed up a bit and said, "I have been working very hard at it with my teacher's help! I'm not just practicing cooking with her, I promise. I'm like a fish now!"

They'd gone swimming together once before but that was more toward the start of his lessons. Xarnith hadn't seen how well he'd done with swimming lessons since the results of the cooking lessons was something that Xarnith got to enjoy the fruits of during meals. As such he supposed that he couldn't be too upset with Xarnith since it just showed that they needed to swim together more. Something that he actually liked the idea of.

"We need to swim together more. So long as it's something you find fun?"

Bisera gave a nod of his head before following along after Xarnith, "I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying it. It's a great pastime for work, for food, and for fun I think." There was so much good to be had from swimming. All he had to do now was figure out how to see under the water and he would really be able to profit from all of his lessons. He needed some swimming goggles... but the design of that idea could wait for now.

At the mention of Xarn enjoying swimming because he got to see Bisera all wet he found himself starring, a tad confused. Was seeing him soaked a good thing? He supposed it might look funny, especially given that he hadn't bothered to even braid his hair back at the moment.
