Volkarosh post 1

Volkarosh awaited her fight, staying off to the side of the crowd. Not in it, of course, but outside. Watching. It was hard to get used to so many people in one place, at one time, alive and breathing. She'd spent so long with just her and Lashy that it was just strange to her that such a place - that so many people - could actually exist like this. It was baffling. It was amazing. Her hungry mind gathered information, her darting eyes captured small movements. She sat and observed the variety of people, and learned about their lives, her face a neutral mask of concentration.

And then someone appeared, someone not quite like the others. Dark skin, purple hair, with a glow to their eyes that was not the sun's doing. They were small, a mere child, and they stood out in the crowd. What were they?

Were they... stealing? She couldn't tell. Volka wanted to know, and there was only one certain way to do that.

Decision made, Volkarosh wandered over, arms crossed, her black eyes intense. "Are you buying those?" she asked calmly.

Zuri had no time to respond as Nuawahn came flying her way. As distracted by the smell of food as she was she didn't even notice someone coming towards her. However she did have time to make sure her feet were planted firmly in the ground and her arms open for the hug, otherwise she might've ended up on the floor.

"Hello Nuawahn, I didn't know you would be here! Are you fighting?" She asked in a concerned voice. The last time they had been together they had been running from monsters from Yael and she didn't think he really had it in him to fight anything. She would feel much better if he didn't fight, but that was the mother in her and since she wasn't his actual mother if he wanted to fight there was nothing she could do.

She thrived on the energy that radiated from such a large group of people. Bouncing around on the balls of her feet the petite girl darted in between groups as she made her way through the stands.She hadn't felt the most comfortable in Oba, but in this situation she could stare at amazement with all the different earthlings she encountered. How awesome! Resisting the urge to squee the rogue held onto her flute as she made her way through.

Perhaps there was a place where she could gather with other musicians?

She could play, but she was rather enjoying watching everyone interact....


[Anyone who wants to interact with her feel free to quote me. <3]

Itotia 2

Silver, ever fading eyes moved slowly around as she listened to the whispers. The benefit to having her hood down was that many moved away from her, which was a bit of a confidence boost. Slowly, she was finding power in the apparent fear in the mainlanders, and slowly losing her own fear in their actions. So far, the only person who really attacked her had been removed from her life, so she was settled in and enjoying the almost god-like surprise all of these colorful mainlanders had on her appearance.

Turning, she glanced at Aseara as the other joined her side, and waved her hand lightly, "Your Oban heat is as unbearable as always..." She said softly before her brow furrowed and she caught sight of her shifter shadow. She made no move in any sort of direction, at east with Kresimir's presence in her life. She could tolerate Aseara, Nuri, their children and the dancers because she saw them on a daily basis and knew their strengths. Kresimir was the only outsider in her life that had some semblance of trust.

"Aseara, this is Kresimir. Kresimir, Aseara." She responded softly, glancing about a moment before looking back at the man before her, "Are you joining the tournament?"

Nuri 1

Nuri was prepping for his round, and unfortunately could not take the time to find his wife. He knew Aseara was there, but the question was where would she be? He really wished he could find her before his fight, maybe just to get a favor and a good luck kiss. A slow smirk crossed his face at the thought, as he was sure Aseara would enjoy such an action.

It was a pity that the children couldn't attend, as he knew they all would be so excitable about such a location. However, he was wise enough not to question his wife, and so he accepted that he would need to tell them tales upon his return to make up for it.

Walking about the edge of the ring and looking at the stands, he caught sight of a Matori wandering about. She seemed aware, so he figured it wouldn't hut to ask if she might have seen his wife, especially since she appeared to be a musician.

"Excuse me, do you have a moment?"

Saki post 2

"Sakhile." He replied, siting down and eyeing the gathering group near the alkidike and.. water hybrid. Never saw one of those before; he thought amused. And that tall one is probably her mother. They're all tall though,

Soon yet another hybrid female joined in much to his surprise... "All the hybirds." He muttered to himself. Guess we tend to congregate for safety? He nodded to the others who were there but not introduced. Normally he'd be fine with joining in and making new friends but he'd become slightly more reserved after leaving home. That and he was nervous about his first fight! He'd trained a lot int he past two years but was it enough? Hopefully he didn't embarrass himself too much.

He looked over at the tall alkidike; "I'm not going to have to fight you am I? I'd die."

Volle post 1
Vollerei stalked past all sorts of Obans, ignoring them as she used her greater height and weight to head straight for the delicious food stands. No matter what she thought of them, their culture and their past.. she had to admit they knew how to cook!

After buying enough to sate her hunger a bit, she leaned against a fence post to eat and people watch, dark orbs scanning the crowds. Her eyebrows shot up when she spotted a blast from the past.. a hybrid she'd run into and cooked with so many years ago.

Finishing the kabob of meat she headed over with a grin. "I seem to recall a very happy afternoon showing you some spices and how to use them." She drawled as she approached the woman. Her stomach was larger than she remembered.. but it had that odd bump that wasn't fat she had to correct herself, thats their 'blossom.' Where they get their babies from.. so weird. The ice and shifter hybrid was unique enough it'd stuck in Volelrei's mind all these years. Plus she'd met her over food and that always helped her recall people.
