Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vepkhia .|. Post 1

Vepkhia's eyes were large as she looked around at everything. There was so much to take in: all the different smells from the stalls that sold food, all the bright clothing of the people, and just all the people in general! She and her momma hadn't been in Oba for very long. Kelina hadn't been too happy about her wanting to come to the tournament with her but with her father busy, she hadn't of had much of a choice. At least she was allowed to wander around a bit on her own, that in itself was nice. She loved her mother of course, but it was nice to experience things by herself sometimes.

Vep kept an eye out for her brother, who was apparently signed up to fight in the tournament. It had been awhile since she had seen Kressy and was excited to see him, and even more excited to see him fight! She wandered around the stalls before heading towards the stands. The time of when her brother and mother were supposed to fight was put in the back of her head so she wouldn't forget but she could watch some other battles as well! At least until her attention was taken by someone in very pretty clothing. She changed her course and headed towards the person. "Your clothing is very pretty!!" She commented happily.

Naevius .|. Post 1

This whole ordeal was pretty exciting for Naevius. She was so glad her father had decided to make Oba open for any and all to come and participate in the tournament. Of course that likely meant some unsavory people would likely show up as well, to take advantage of all the different races gathered in one place. Nae hoped the good people arriving would far outweigh the bad.

As typical Naevius style, her clothing was modest yet could still be considered fairly expensive to some. There was always a fine line she had to walk when it came to what she did and how she did things least she upset the other nobles. With Sebastien busy, Varinia was one to accompany her whenever she could to help keep from having lots of guards follow her around. In when Varinia had to go for her turn in the tournament, Nae knew she'd likely be in the stands watching her, not only because she wanted to but because it was likely the safest option. She just hoped Varinia did well and didn't get hurt.

The Princess' eyes scanned the mass of people around her and kept close to her handmaiden. She had to admit, she was a little nervous since the beast charmer had little experience with the other races of Tendaji - at least besides the few she had seen while captured. They had some working at the compound and had seen some in the capital but nothing like this. "The amount of people who came is kind of amazing, isn't it Varinia?"

Her hands kept checking her waist to make sure her whip and coin purse were still there. She'd been used to walking among crowds of people so her coin purse actually held a relatively small amount while another purse was hidden on her person that would require more than deft hands to take away. She wasn't taking any chances. "Are you nervous for your fight?"

Ilyra Post 1

Although Ming'we didn't come to the torment Ilyra still felt she had to go. She hadn't seen her mother since she left and she had promised to meet up with her there. So after promising to come back as soon as it was all done Ilyra set out. She would be back to help out soon enough, but first she wanted to prove her strength in the battle field. She was sure Ming'we would be surprised if she came back and told the girl she won the whole thing.

The tournament was pretty big, and had the excited nature of the one before it. So many smells, so many people, it was just wonderful. However she had things she needed to do, so as soon as she was there Ilyra set off to find either her mother, her aunt, or Dya. She didn't know where even to start looking. It would've been smarted to have set up some kind of meeting spot.

"Family....?" Ilyra called out, not wanting to call out one of their name and risk missing one of the others.

Lasseyn held onto her mother with an iron grip. There were so many people everywhere, and although she would never admit it she was a little scared. She wished that her father and sister were there with her, then maybe she wouldn't feel so out of place.

As Lasseyn looked around she realized just how many other hybrids there were out there. Some looked a little like her, and some looked completely different. It was crazy really. All the purebloods looked cool too, some of them were races that she had never even seen before! And their clothing was so different. Then again so was hers. She couldn't wear the same thing in Oba that she did back in her home forests.

"Mommy look look! That looks yummie!" she said as she pointed to one of the stalls. She had been dying to try some of the different foods but hadn't been hungry until right that second.

She laughed at her daughter, glad for the tight grip on her hand. The last thing she wanted was to lose her daughter in the crowd of people. She didn't know what would happen. There was to many people there, and to many places that Lasseyn could get lost in.

"Do you want some? We should only eat a little though. I have to go fight soon and if you eat a lot then you won't have room for other foods later." she told her daughter.

Both Izsha and Archan walked besides the pair of hybrids. Not only would Lasseyn be in a safe place when she fought but the pair of them would be staying with her. Lasarra wasn't taking any chances, and she knew both of her familiars would do anything to make sure her daughter was safe if it was needed.

She nodded with a smile on her face. She understood not being good with names, and it had been sometime since the two of them saw each other.

When Kelina said she hadn't seen Ilyra the alkidike frowned, looking around once before turning her attention towards Kelina once more. It seemed that the two of them had the same issue. "Giving them their Independence is so hard. Ilyra is pretty old already, but she's just left home and I can't help but be worried about her." Briella admitted. She felt silly being so worried about someone who some would consider a grown women, but she couldn't help it. Ilyra was her daughter.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea. What is she wearing?" Briella asked. There were many shifters there, but with the two of them looking she was sure that both of their daughters would be found.

SRIINA (post 2)

Sriina took a deep breath in, sizing up Kyruie and then Ashta and she felt her heart give just a little flutter. What was with her? She didn't know what the feeling was, but she knew they just being around Ashta made her feel more fidgety than she should, and then to add Kyruie to the mix... well that was another story.

Her parents had decided that she still needed to go through with the wedding, something that was beyond her understanding. But she knew it wasn't going to change anything and her future was set.

She reached the two men and ran a hand over her braids. "Hello." She said slowly. How was she supposed to address these two? Fiance for one? Was she friends with the other? She just waited in awkward silence while she felt the world moving forward in time without her.
