Cerys looks at him and smiles gently. Nuzzling him gently she settles back down. Eyelids droop down as she rests. Her mind going over how sweet Relik is to her and how he makes her happy. Certainly not how she expected her day to go. Succumbing to sleep her expression is peaceful. A small smile upon her lips as if she knows something that the other doesn't know. Even breaths a sign of her slumber.

With his own slumber taking over him, Relik fell into the most restful and calming sleep ever. There was no need to wake up and go off somewhere or no need to move away from this female because he was finished with his intentions. No Relik didn't want to leave Cerys ever. She felt as important and binding to him as Cam did as a bonded.
As the night wore on and it welcomed the sun they the lovely pair moved on from their cozy spot onto the gypsy troupe that Relik promised. The journey of course took two days at most to reach them during a waning sun. There were trees all around but between them you could see the colorful caravans, movement from people, horses, dogs and the crackling fires as well as the rich sounds of laughter, voices speaking animately, pots and pans for the coming meal and even a few playing music.
It was all a lively little world beyond the trees where the gypsy troupe settled in that intimate clearing. Yet Relik stopped to listen to all of them but more importantly he stopped, looking at Cerys. Dragi, mi amor, this is where we must stop. I will go forward and announce to everyone that I have brought with me my mare and I'll bring Cam here. He'll want to meet you first." Murmurs gently, looking hopeful that Cerys will not run away when they just got here but he would not hold her back. Relik wasn't that type of male to force someone to do something they are uncomfortable with. "Are you ready for this Cerys?"

Traveling with Relik has only brought her and Relik closer. Each moment is filled with laughter and merriment. Something she has only gotten in moments. Not like how it is with Relik where it is for hours on end. He constantly trying to please her. His stories and antics making her giggle. She of course couldn't stop herself from teasing him or starting some playful competition here and there. She found out he is faster than her, but when it comes to balancing and standing on things she beats him.
Ears twist and eyes move to look at the caravan's as they draw near the gypsy troupe. Stopping she takes in the sounds, and smells. It is so different from her way of life. So.. vibrant! Filled with life and laughter. She is struck with the fight of staying with the familiar or finding out new things yet again. Yet she has already come so far. Why go back now? She really enjoys spending time with Relik. So why does she feel this way? Shifting from foot to foot she becomes nervous. Yet this time she understands why. Will his parents and grandfather like her? Will his bonded like her? So many unknown things. Relik of course always comforts her, but people and other azerin can be unpredictable. Is she even close to what they imagined for Relik?
Glancing over to him as he starts to speak. His voice calms her down some.She nods and takes a deep breath." I am as ready as I'll ever be Relik. I shall wait here for you.. Oh I hope they like me. You are absolutely certain they will like me?"

Seeing the nervousness and hearing the slight uncertainty in her voice Relik moved closer and nuzzled her neck. In the time they had spent together coming to this point....Relik was so happy that he could just burst with it. There was no where else he would rather be and with no one else to enjoy the happiest moments of his young life.
Dragi, my family is going to love you. Have no fear, I would not be with them if I knew they weren't loving parents or grandfather...or bonded. Everyone will adore you like I've grown to do and they will cherish you like I do." Whispers kissing her cheek gently and stepping back. "I won't be gone long I promise."
Smiling gently he went off into the trees and with a rejoicing sound from the troupe everyone greeted their son warmly and happily. Moving around quickly he greeted everyone on his way to Cam's caravan first. The well made wooden home had lights flickering from the windows and he went to knock on the door with his hoof. "Cam! Come out here and greet your best friend!" The stallion cheered.
Door snapping open, a handsome gypsy man with long dark hair with leaf green eyes wearing a vest and breeches with riding boots. Opening his arms he hugged his bonded Azrein tightly. "It's good to see you back home my friend. Don't go off like that again." He teased. Relik shook his head. "I have a good reason why I've been gone this long. But you have to come see her outside of the troupe. I promised that I would make this introduction slow as she's not comfortable around humans all that much." Cam raised a brow and motioned for Relik to lead the way from the troupe and through the trees.
Relik in front of his bonded trotted to Cerys and smiled at her. "This is my bonded Cam. Cam this is the reason why I've been gone. This is my Cerys."
Cam went forward but paused with the look of awe on his face at the sight of the beautiful mare. Then he bowed deeply smiling charmingly. "Welcome Cerys. I am Cam. I hope you'll be staying with us for a little while. I want to know the mare who has captured my Relik's heart because I can tell. I feel it and frankly...I'm relieved." The man winked at her while grinning at Relik.

Cerys nuzzles him gently and nods."I really hope so.. I don't want to mess this up.. Go.. I will be here waiting Relik." Smiling, she hopes that comforts him. Watching him go she listens to the cheers as he makes his way through the troupe. Shifting from foot to foot she starts to just walk around in a circle. The minutes seem like hours to her. Time slows as she worries. She really wants everyone to like her. The pressure of the first impression is starting to get to her. Here she is.. about to meet the most important being of Relik's.. Cam.. A human. Oh how will he react? She tries so hard to be gentle with her horns. She is so scared to rest her head against Relik as her horns could hurt if she puts to much weight. To say the least she is more aware of her horns now than she has ever been in her life!
Hoofbeats upon the earth mark their approach. Her blue eyes glance over as Relik comes into the place with Cam behind him. Watching she waits standing still. Some of the whites in her eyes show as she feels a bit.. afraid. Letting out a deep breath she listens. Her ears twisting all the while. She bursts out laughing at his words. "Oh now I see why you get along so well! You are both flatterers! Is it you that taught Relik that? I am hoping to stay around for some time. I've been curious of the gypsy way of life.. but I don't want to completely leave my family either.. Relik said I could travel with you all without having to officially join?"

Moving over to Cam to slap his thick tail at the human he grinned, then moved over to Cerys, nuzzling her neck to soothe her. Cam raised a brow at the female then nodded slightly but stood a few paces away from her. She was afraid no doubt of humans and even one was making it uncomfortable for the unique looking mare.
"No Relik is a natural when it comes to saying the most dashing things, especially when we get such inspiration when around the most enchanting of females. Though don't let my betrothed hear me say that. I'll be the most depressed man in the world when I prefer to stay the happiest." Listening to Cerys' next words Cam nodded.
"You are welcome to come and learn about our ways without...joining our troupe. You will be apart of us as if you had joined our large family but still have the freedom to leave as you please. We have several members that do that for their own reasons. The only thing we ask is that you keep us a secret. While the world knows we exist, it's who we are and our culture that we wish to keep silent and our own."
Relik nuzzled his mate then looked over at his bonded. "Cerys is trustworthy. I know it and really Cerys can be helpful in her own way. But the only thing is that none of the other humans can come near her. If you could impose that one restriction on everyone that would be helpful." He bowed his head and moved over to his bonded to nuzzle his shoulder. Cam smiled and nodded but looked over at Cerys. "Now what do you say, my lady?"

Watching Relik interact with his bonded she smiles slightly. It is very much like him to be so playful. Leaning into his nuzzle she smiles at Relik's bonded. Trying to make some effort. Chuckling at Cam's words she looks at Relik fondly."Yes, I would think that to be so. Nobody likes to be depressed. Though I would assume everyone loves Relik as he is such a flatterer. I fear what they would view of me when I take him off the market of single stallions." She teases. Eyes alight with mirth.
Cerys listens with a smile glad that she is allowed to stay. Moving towards Relik she leans on him and rests her head over his back by his shoulders. "Thank you. I would gladly like to stay and learn the ways of the gypsy life that Relik loves so well.. I can try to help where I can.. Maybe scouting or something with climbing.. I am quite good at that."

Cam shook his head and smiled at Cerys. "No little one, I will be most grateful and at peace knowing that he is being given an opportunity with a good female like you so that I may enter my own....mating union in peace. At least for now seeing as my intended has her own Azrein which is his grandfather who hasn't found his soul mate yet." Clapping his hands together he smiled at his bonded with Cerys but shook his head at her. "No, you are our guest, Cerys. If you live among us then in time you will know your purpose but for now relax and learn all there is to learn about us.
Relik has mentioned that you are very....wary and uncomfortable with a lot of human contact? I will ensure that the others keep their distances including the children as they adore our Azrein. But you will find yourself among good company with Rasha and Melik since they are not bonded. Please enjoy the night and the music that will be played soon." He said smiling at Relik. "Now you be good to Cerys or I'll keep those treats you enjoy so much away from you forever. I'll go let your family know you both are here." Cam bowed to Cerys and kindly stepped away from the couple to disappear back into the encampment to let the others know of their guest.
Relik smiled at Cerys, nuzzling her cheek. "Well dragi? What do you think of my bonded? I hope you were comfortable with him. He is very respectful and the others will be as well." He was worried that the encounter wasn't good but he thought it was.
